so they are clearing the 25th from the walmart by my work, they had single figs at 4 bucks and comic packs at 7 bucks. when i caught this all that was left was copperhead and shipwreak (like 4 of them) and a bazooka singlepack. ( i grabbed one of each)
the next day i found this little gem. problem was it was missing the comic book. sweet i thought i would just take it to the front and get another discount on it like i normaly do. i take it to the front and am told that they dont give discounts on missing parts anymore, they just take it off the shelf. well im cheap and didnt see this worth 7 bucks so i gave it to the lady to take back. they very next day i go back through the toy area and guess what is back on the shelf? so i just leave it figuring i was lied too and they didnt care. i happen to catch the stores asistant manager. i mention the toy was there and i told her of the night before and i told her i was willing to throw 5-6 bucks at it to get it sold. she tells me they do in fact pull them now due to a new deal they have with hasbro where they get full credit back so no need to discount them. she then said she would make sure it was pulled and asked were it was. i havnt been by again to see if its gone or not. anyhow i thought id share.

interesting... i'm always curious to hear these little peaks behind the retail curtain. I think it helps our understanding of the whole process...

They only get that credit if the printout from the store says they are to go back, some stores have to sell so many to qualify for a credit.

I wouldn't be surprised to see the Joe section disappear in some WMs (depending on size and sales of Joes at that store) until the movie toys come out to make room for Star Trek, Terminator, Transformers, and Wolverine toys...
Knowing retail, ymmv at different WMs though, keep that in mind. |

I feel like I'm missing something here. How is $7 too much for two figures? And you would have paid $6? That dollar really makes a difference?
I don't get it. |

I hate to say but I'm with Lister on this one. The comics in the comic packs are always bad.... $7 bucks seem a good deal to me. (Who steals just the comic by the way. Even the thieves are getting dumber in this country.)
