Shipped & Sold By Walmart...

[hedrap]

So, this is kinda strange. They're listed as "shipped & sold by Walmart" but the prices are all over the map. 14 for Drac but 22 for Werewolf? That's not normal Wally pricing strategies.

Its like prices elsewhere. Seems like figures that the seller has to break up a case to get are more than solid cases of figures. I think Drac can be bought in its own case and the Werewolf is only in the assorted case.

Werewolf is sold in a case by himself, just like Dracula. All the horror figures come in case packs of just the one character, and are all the same price from the wholesaler.

The Werewolf figure is listed with B&W in the title. I wonder what that stands for.

then why don't some retailers offer some of the figures outside the assortment?

Bigger point: Walmart itself is carrying the figures, at least on the site. That's kinda huge.

I'll have to check out my local Walmart today, hopefully they have something mego, maybe they will have some Trek available?

Not really, I don't set foot in a Walmart at all.

They don't want to get stuck with extra unsold figures? That's what I think.

Yeah, it really is, even though you may not think so...because you don’t like Walmart. I’m not in love with Walmart stores, either, but that’s big...if Mego does show up in the stores.

Did anyone notice the May 17th arrival date? I wonder why so long?

they were already in Target so its not like its a first or anything.

^ True. However, if Mego ends up in Walmart stores, it’s a big deal because they’re bigger than Target. It puts Mego into another national (and, I believe international with, at least, Canada) retailer.

If they make it to Walmart stores, it could make these figures even More successful for Mego because of the availability to more people. This could be huge for Mego and collectors.

I thought they were already infiltrating Canada at Gamestop or somewhere? Maybe Canadian Tire.
