It just so happens where I live, nobody speaks English anymore, and Wal-Mart seems to be a magnet for the most incompetent people imaginable. When I lived back on the East Coast, it was hillbillies galore. Basically, take all the seediest open markets you've ever seen in films, shuffle the people, and put walls around them and a Wal-Mart logo over the door, and there you go. |

I must be going dumb or maybe its the lack of sleep but I dont see how one would be getting anything extra by doing this. Ok you order it off line for 130,return it with your invoice to get a 130 refund,then you re-buy it at 100 leaving you 30 for some figures? Why not just go get it for 100 with the figures in the 1st place,you seem to be spending the same exact amount for the same exact stuff,minus the hasle of ordering and paying shipping.

I dont believe he was refering to stealing the Hawk figure,you can also do that without ordering it for $30 more.

Yeah, as a disclaimer:

The thing that gets me, is my Wal-Mart had the same 15 Joes on the pegs for roughly 4-5 months, and along with collecting dust, their "value" kept going up. Apparently WM doesn't understand the "stuff that doesn't sell at X price won't sell at a higher price" concept. I'm semi-interested in going into it again, just to see what the ROC setup looks like, but I gave up after being fed up with the parking lot situation. On a similar note, I managed to make it into K-Mart tonight, which I made a second trip back to after the stocker told me yesterday that the ROC Joe cases on the floor would be out today (they weren't, surprise, they were just "gone"), and I realized that K-Mart is basically Wal-Mart without all the people in it, but an even worse selection. At least I got in and out in 5 minutes though, which is impossible at Walton's franchise. |

That's the other big killer. You wade through everyone after spending half a day trying to park your car next to a car that looks like Michael Bay got ahold of it, and blammo, no Joes, or 3 Joes for $10 each.

I did find a few deals, but again, they're few and far between. You just have to be there at the right time. I don't even like to call it "my" K-Mart... It's next to a TRU, so I check it occassionally... I'm pissed that there was a W2R2 case, which contains Flash, that I saw yesterday and the moron stocker told me it'd be out today. Blindly believing her, I stopped by tonight after working hoping it'd still be on the floor, and it hadn't even made it out yet, nor any of the other ROC product that was piled high yesterday. They said "maybe over the weekend". Yeah, not worth going back. |
