Wal-Mart expanding their toy department!

[Peter Panda]

I worked for Toys R US Years ago, what a Horrible time that was.....How they stay alive is beyond me. they treat their employees horribly......I have no nostalgia for them, all their commercials especially the "I don't want grow up garbage" is meaningless, Jeffrey can go suck it.....

AMEN brother!!!

My wal-marts have done just the opposite over the last couple of weeks,they have down sized the toys dept's alot.

All the 4 local Walmarts in our area are Super Walmart stores and the same with Target's 2 stores. They all have pretty good sized toy departments. I know this for a fact since both Brad Jr's love of action figures and my wife's collection of Spongebob stuff have cost me quite a few bucks at both stores over the years. Last night's trip to Walmart cost me a Spongebob piggy bank (very cute) and three packs of Magic the gathering cards, which is Jr's latest passion besides video games.

Walmart and TRU really are terrible. The last thing I got good from TRU was a Furbie when there where impossible to get. Only because I knew the lady who worked there. I think they still have the same stuff on the shelves now.

I've worked for a toy store for a decade...sad,yes...i know..but anyway....the majority of the people getting action figures are either under 10 or over 35...most kids don't play with toys anymore,it's all video games or the internet....even on black friday it's either figures for little little kids or grown men in their 40's buying the figures.....

I won't give my business to Wal-mart nor to Target or Toys R Us I think they're horrible, I have three mom and pop small business toy stores near me, I'd rather give them my money....for me it's all about the small businessman....not giant could careless about me corporate stores......okay off my soapbox....

Are you guys finding this new toy department located in the far back corner of the store. Takes forever to get there. My local walmart just did floor moves at it is now literally in the farthest corner away from the front doors.

Our toy dept is on the far left of the store near the pharmacy.

In my Walmart to farthest thing away from the front doors is the TV section

The Target in Hunstville has Wal-Mart beat all the way around. It's a Super Target. So it has a normal sized grocery area.

------Target vs Walmart

Around here they're both a hit and miss

Target's DVD section is crazy good compared to Walmart's tiny crapola section.

Target has 5 times more TV's

Target has more clothes.

Now that I think about it Target beats Walmart out for almost everything

Only saving grace of Walmart is they have a bigger grocery area and some of their stuff is a little cheaper than Target.

Given the choice, I'd probably take Target.

Target also seems to have better customers ---- My local Walmart parking lot is a hangout for kids and Walmart security don't do anything about it.

I few weeks ago 7 girls (highschool-ish) beat up another girl really bad.

Oh,

Target has CRAZY CLEAN bathrooms compared to Walmart too.

Walmart bathrooms are always cover in poo, pee and puke

I'd hate to imagine what their ladies room looks like

Was at the local Wal-Mart today. All they did was switch the girls section with the boys section.

[TMANSTOYS]

Target is just ok. for every 20 trips you might find 1 thing.

[HumanWolfman]

Are they gearing up for x-mas or is this permanent?

That was my first thought. Be nice if it was permanent.

our Wal marts are horrible !! I do need a 6 in. Hulk. If you guys have one to spare or find one let me know. It will save me the hassle of going and finding nothing.
