I stopped by two Wally Worlds this weekend and neither of them had any joe stuff. I did not even see where they had an empty pegs labeled for Joe stuff. I also noticed that they didn't have any Corps figures or vehicles either.
One was at Myrtle Beach and is a huge store with tons of volume...so I figured they were simply sold out. Then I stopped at the brand new, humongous Walmart in Locust and the only joes they had were ROC stuff on clearance. Did Walmart quit selling the Joe line or did I just stop at two B.S. Walmarts? Hopefully the worlds largest retailer is not stopping selling Joes. As much as I hate WM, I know that many people rely on them for a cheap alternative to ordering everything online and having to pay shipping and handling. Has anyone else noticed that yet? I hope not, but was seriously wondering wtf Walmart is up to. |

It's probably the stores you went to. I know in my area some WM's have POC, some just have ROC and some are clearancing everything out. A friend of mine told me he found ROC & POC for $3 each at a WM.
Every store is different and I think a few of them either are trying no joes or just have everything screwed up since the reset. I know one of the stores near me has Roc and POC on the same aisle but in two different places and there's so much crap crammed on the shelves that the cards barely have enough room so they're easily overlooked (Even when I know aproximately where they're supposed to be ) |

Hmmm, what's up with Walmart? Well, in two words, "They Suck!"
I have always hated, currently hate, and most likely will continue to hate that chain. They are not a good place to find collectibles, I understand it isn't their principle sell, so no one needs to point out the obvious, so then why don't they do us a huge favor and stop trying to get exclusive rights to shit? If they don't want to sell the product then don't try to. Simple really. Also I know what they are trying to do. I'll only buy something else from them if they get the figures in I need. |

At this one Walmart near me they didn't get any POC until late in the game. At first it was only vehicles. Now they got single carded figures, but only wave 1 at the moment. What's weird is that the vehicles are in the usual Joe section, but the only figures in the Joe section are ROC figures. Then they have some more ROC figures in the clearance section, and they recently started stocking POC next to the ROC figures, in the clearance section of all places.
The real zinger is that the ROC figures have the red "clearance" price sticker of $9, but they still have a green price sticker from when they were $5. The POC figures are right next to them in the clearance aisle for the typical $6 and change. |

Same here. 1 out of the 3 walmarts here have joe items Poc or Roc. I talked with a employee that works in that department and they said that store was not going to stock joes this year.
