Join Date: Apr 2000 Posts: 6,015 Location: Illadelph Collection Count: Not Alot Anymore News Credits: 3 | It doesn't mention it anywhere on the page, but I wouldn't be surprised if Wal-Mart is partnering with 3rd party smaller merchants. Amazon, TRU, Target all do this now. They auto-import these 3rd party merchant's products, allow sale/checkout thru the Wal-Mart shopping cart, take a cut, and send the order info to the other retailer for shipment.
If the original merchant says "I want no less than 50 bucks", Wal Mart or the original retailer could say "Then Wal Mart must sell for 79.88 to get their cut". Could explain the higher prices.
This broadens their product range online without actually stocking the goods. Only thing is it usually mentions that it's via this method on the other sites. Wal Mart is currently saying it's theirs.
OR, they actually are carrying this collector oriented stuff.  TOYARK.COM - An all new site dedicated to all things toys. Brought to you by the TFW2005.COM and HISSTANK.COM crews. |

And IN STOCK?
Considering WalMart has several sweat factories in China, I guess we shouldn't be surprised.
Got to be an experimental, online exclusive. Got to compete with Amazon.
Walmart is really trying to take over.
Too bad the prices are insane.
Very shrewd. |
