Instead of complaining here about the 40% price hike on Joes at Walmart over the past few months, why not send Walmart some "nastygrams" instead? All it takes is filling out an online contact and leaving them 500 characters of complaint/explanation. Be nice, of course, but let them know you are not happy about this and that it will affect your purchasing of GI Joe merchandise from them.
http://walmartstores.com/contactus/feedback.aspx Here are the product Item numbers and UPC data (for Torpedo) for your convenience in filling the form. UPC:653569292531 Item number: 63893 Do you realize that when companies use opinion polls, your entry is considered to be worth that of hundreds, sometimes thousands of people who just haven't bothered to be heard? Let's see if we can do something besides complain. Who knows, it might even work... |

Considering the most popular reasons for the hike are oil prices and popular demand, how would complaining lower the price?
If it's oil then they have no choice, and if it's demand then they didn't care about our feelings anyways. Though I sent feedback anyways because I also clapped to bring Tinkerbell back.

Just fired off some feedback to wally world, great thread thunderdan 19 and thanks to shockwave the magnificent, now we know it is Wal-Mart who has increased prices. Hasbro's price to wal-mart hasn't changed.
Quote from Shockwave the magnificent below: "I checked the markup on Walmart's GI Joes and their cost is STILL $3.76!! It has always been $3.76, whether our (customer) price was $4.88, $5.44 or now $6.84. So now it looks like we know who jacked up the price. Hasbro had nothing to do with it. On an iteresting note, the ONLY figures in Walmart's system that are at $6.84 are the assortment listed above. All of the previous figures, the ones coming (Spirit, Viper, etc) and the ones already mentioned in other threads (Bazooka, BBQ, TF Flint, etc) are all still $5.44. Dunno why, but it's there in black and white..." http://www.hisstank.com/forum/showthread.php?t=7611 (click link above to read the whole post) Now I hope everybody contacts Wal-Mart and gives them a piece of their mind on this B.S. price increase, If we don't speak then we can't be heard.

This needs front paged so more people can find it and hopefully give Wal-Mart something to think about with Hisstankers bombing them with feedback about the B.S. price increase!!
