The post a little while ago showing Gung Ho already on clearance after being on the shelf for a week or so shows how much these food marts care about this product.
I *prefer* to buy in-person, but I buy anywhere and everywhere.
Agreed, at some point these figures will price themselves right out of these places. However, with $200 Legos an isle or two over, it could be quite a while.
The clearance Gung-Ho has already been covered, but I'll add this; a long, long time ago when I HAD a local WalMart, it seemed whenever something military would come in (Joe, Ultimate Soldier, etc), it'd go straight to clearance. I say this because I'd be there one week, nothing. Then a week or two later, they'd have new items already on clearance. Had to be a manager or local corporate person doing it.

And i say well if you guys hadnt taken those self scanners out you wouldnt have to do your job as an employee. Maybe you all should put em back in.
So that's why they did that!! How stupid!
Then to add insult to injury, they left the "scanner" signs up to make you think you found one....
If I don't harass an employee, I go to self-checkout and check the price. If I don't like it, I leave it there.

LoL!
Last year, or the year before, one Target here disconnected all their scanners "because of Covid." Almost thought WM did the same.
