Like I have said before...I go to Wal-mart and don't get my hopes up to find anything. I call delta1974 to see if there is anything he is looking for and he says "where you at?"..I say Wal-mart and he says "don't bother, they won't have anything anyways"...That is a sad but true statement.
Come on Wal-mart...get your head out of your a** and start stocking!!! |

I have wal marts that have TONS of ROC product and Wal Marts that have NOTHING yet.
Wierd. Seems to be based on store volume. The ROC stuff came out just after the counter resets. DR

According to my Walmart, some regional Wally's wont get the product until 8-2 and then they will put it out. But there are only two stores in my area that have not put that out, perhaps they will be the ones with the comic packs? Keep watchin. |

i agree i wish target and TRU would get exclusives...whenever i hear about wal-mart getting ANYTHIGN exclusives i automatically write it off as will not own it cause i will never find it except on secondary market. i mean the wal-mart DCU Classics wave people are asking 3-500 for...so yeah if it says wal-mart exclusive i just forget about em...cause around my area wal-marts dont get anythign exclusive except unpopular lines on the shelves

I notice at my Wal Mart that the bikes and the pool supplies are slowly taking over the toy section. Also the turds I leave behind cause there are no Joes is slowly taken over the toy dept!

I really don't understand the logic of Wal-Mart letting the market get saturated with figures through Target and TRU for nearly a month before they put their own figures out. Even if they are just waiting to do a reset. Even though I'm positive it wouldn't even scratch their bottom line, it just seems stupid from a business perspective. If this became a trend for the rest of their merchandise, they would quickly go the way of K-mart.
But more likely, and more sadly, it seems that Wal-Mart simply doesn't care enough about the G.I. Joe line to even bother competing. Which could be bad for the Joe line in the long run...even if the line sells well at Target and TRU, if Wal-Mart doesn't continue to pick it up it could effectively kill it. |

The Walmart here only has combat heroes. Nothing else.

While I don't really know if they've given it that much thought in regards to this specific line, it could be that they figure they'll make up in small-town sales (where most of the time Wal-Mart is the only big retailer and possibly only toy-seller in town) what they might be missing in areas where they have stiff competition from Target and TRU. Target's already selling the figures cheaper than Wal-Mart, and TRU has run some excellent sales already.

Wal-Mart scaled back their toy departments this year. Only select stores carry certain toy lines. Besides Wal-Mart sucks anyway, & this new policy seems to have helped other chains like Target & TRU…
