    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.....

      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

        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....

          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.....

            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.

              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.
