How the F does Walmart's "competitive algorithm" boost their Retro exclusives like this? A preorder exclusive that is sold and shipped by Walmart should not be tripling in price.

You should probably get the 5 year protection plan too.

I still have this wave pre-ordered from Walmart. I wonder if they will ever ship them.

I’ve given up on Walmart and target exclusives a long time ago.
I had 2 classified Zartans on preorder that just sat. I canceled them. I ordered 4 Zartans from ebay and recieved them all super quick.

I wish I could. If I type in "gi joe retro collection cobra commander" on their website, it brings up everything BUT that from the last decade and a half.
Walmart's website is absolute shit.

Yeah, the reason I ask is because I'm curious if anyone in those comments are talking about the prices. I looked up on their website and saw screaming Duke for $22 and change. I read through the comments but didn't see any comments about the price.

Walmarts are a barren landscape of sadness when it comes to their action figure aisles. Every other aisle is filled to the brim but their action figure aisles are stripped bare. They outta just eliminate it if they aren’t gonna stock it more than twice a year.

They basically treat all toys as being equal and they don't prioritize restocking the toys that move quickly. All my area Walmarts are just like you described and I always get pumped when I see a bunch of boxes ready to be unpacked by the toy departments then I look at what they are and they usually just end up being more of the toys that they already have. You'd think that having a completely bare action figure aisle would make them want to order more action figures. *shrugs*

Its not just action figures. My son collects Nascar Authentics. One Walmart near us was sitting on 2018 Wave One until this past Christmas. Skipped right to 2020 Wave One (which came out in Jan 2020- not December). They missed 24 Waves worth of product... and then they stocked with product that was 'newer' - but still 11 months out of date. Just stupid trying to collect things from Walmart. They must have everything in their system as one UPC. So, if they show 12 in stock, and its just 12 of the same overstocked pegwarmer - they will never re-order anything new.
