Why blame Hasbro? They make the product, it's not their fault Walmart doesn't wanna carry Hasbro's merchandise.

If I were to say what government Walmart reminded me of (if that’s what you mean) I’d say it is like a dictatorship. I see as much Hasbro stuff at walmart as Lego stuff. It’s just that none of the Hasbro stuff is anything I would buy. I’ve been buying more and more from other sources since 2007. |

Granted it's far from the norm around here, but the Athens, AL Walmart's toy department is so beautiful it makes me want to cry. Not sure why, but they always go bat-sh!t crazy this time of year. Next time I go in I will have to take pictures.
However, with that said, all the other Walmarts in my area suck! |

Agreed. You don't become the largest retailer in the world by fucking up at christmas. If they are not restocking toys in their isles there's a reason. If it was worth their time and effort they would be all over it.
Toys R Us has more toys because its a fucking toy store. They have already pushed just about every other toy retailer out of the market and I bet Wal-mart doesn't even wanna try to compete. I assume Wal-mart makes dick profit on an action figure anyway. Certainly not enough to have to deal with douche bag collectors begging department heads to special order items or look in the back for their toys.

Yeah, I've been disappointed with Walmart this season too.
Granted - I have found a couple new Transformers in the past two months, but the pegs have been just-about bare for the entire holiday shopping season. |

As for Star Wars, Wal-Mart and Target are still sitting on the Phantom Menace waves, in addition to the movie heroes wave that have stayed there since first of this year.
That's not Wal-Mart's fault. That's Hasbro's for drawing a faulty conclusion that the PM wave would be much more popular and recieved than it actually was.

Certainly not enough to have to deal with douche bag collectors begging department heads to special order items or look in the back for their toys. They also decided toys are no longer a loss leader as Walmart has actually been overpricing from MSRP on everything anywhere from 50 cents to two dollars. Why? Because here, it's Walmart or nothing.
