When I worked at Walmart. Stuff was just thrown on the overstock racks in the back. So I can believe that something that old could get lost in the back.
I am very doubtful you will ever find something the old at Target because every couple months they purge the backroom. |

A few months ago, I found a Ninja Batman from Kenner's Ninja Batman line from 1997. Yes, that old. This was at Target.

perhaps the single strangest thing I ever seen at Wal-mart was bacin 2000 I found an original Return of the Jedi endor soldier (someone had to have returned it, because it was in way too good condition). Strange stuff indeed.

I went to Wal-Mart last week to look for 25A stuff, they didn't have any but they did have an old 2005 Comic Book 3-Pack with Snake Eyes, Zap and Grunt for the $9.96! I picked it up to keep MOC and am selling my loose ones in an E-Bay auction right now. I've always regretted opening up all my comic packs in the first place.

Nothing will beat when I found a Japanese Masterpiece Skywarp at Wal-Mart a few weeks ago. Did not ring up, was not in the system, and when they called back saying thay had a "Large Transformer that turned into a Jet" the guy said it was $24.88!!

Just last week I saw some transformer from 2003 that had multiple languages on the package. I left it there. It is gone. I'm not that into the transformers but I wish I would have bought it.

A few months back, a 12" Talking Duke appeared on our shelves. Supposedly, you can't return products that aren't in the system, but I'd really like to know why Walmart would keep cancelled lines in their system. My suspicion is a LOT of this stuff doesn't ring up and the service desk reactivates the UPC to do the return, which fucks up the whole system.

Yeah a couple of years ago a Castle Greyskull apeared out of no where. Months earlier they were clearanced out for like $15, then this one shows up and they charge full price for it. I think that thing sat for almost a year.

I saw a McFarlane Dragon figure hanging in the Transformers section at Wal-Mart the other day... I had not seen it before in my daily hunt, in fact I haven't ever seen a Mcfarlane figure at Wal-Mart before. I'm thinking it was a return.
But it was weird to see it appear out of the blue.

Shin you got lucky on the MP skywarp. you can order them on wal-mart.com. My guess is that someone ordered one and had it sent to the store to save on shipping, but never picked it up.
Now why can't I get that lucky? I can't bring myself to pay the $100+ for it.
