Yep... I can imagine. Wal-Mart makes their money on quantity sold, not quality sold. There was an article sent to stock holders last year basically outlining the fact that they LOST more money in "shrinkage" (lost, theft, destroyed stock) than most other major retailers MADE last year! That is insane. So, they don't give a flying fuck about the way their store looks because they make money because they are cheap and have just about everything in one stop.

If you ever want to see a absolutely beautiful Wal-Mart, take a trip out to Somerdale NJ, near Vorhees.

If you mean the original RotF one, my local Walmart had one about 6 months ago. The box was a little beat up, but the vehicle was in perfect condition. However, when you scanned it, no price came up. When I asked an employee, they apparently couldn't find a price in the system either, and were like "Uh...how's ten bucks?" I told them "Make it five, and you've got a deal." So, I got an HA SS for $5!

Yes, it was that one... but the sticker said 30 and so did the scanner haha.

Hazleton Wal-mart has the Wheeljack repaint wave minus Airachnid, still have yet to see a single fu(&in Vehicon, and the new wave is already showing up.

Found the new wave of Deluxes at the Toys R' Us in York, PA. Shadow Strike Bumblebee and Deadend were there...but Airachnid was already gone. I didn't want them, but I did pick them up for BWDinobot.

yeah, it's disgusting. it was a bummer, i made the stroehmanns/bimbo/maiers/store brand bread look magnificent.. only for it to be completely screwed up a few hours later most likely.

there are some decent walmarts out there. the one on trooper seems to be pretty good, and for all of the traffic that the one in willow grove gets, they're not too bad.

i guess it all depends on whether or not the employees care.
