General Toys on Sale

[Reno]

I visited my Walmart yesterday and noticed that the mid-aisle display was gone and so were all of the figures that were just a week ago. There were dozens, if not hundreds of figures there a week ago that didn't seem to get moved to anywhere else in the store.

The only remnants that I could find were about 20 Marvel Legends retro-card Quicksilvers in the clearance section for $15 each. I expected to see more from that display here, but nope.

All of the rest of the Marvel Legends, GI Joe Classified, Star Wars, WWE and Master of the Universe stuff were just gone from the store. I had been playing the long game on a lot of that stuff so am very disappointed. I wonder if they got sent directly to budget or bin stores.

They can send them to my store. We never got that mythical diplay here. I miss seeing cool stuff like that in my retail stores.

I went in my local Wal-Mart today and they had the Jakks Pacific The Simpsons 4" Bartman figure for $4. They had a bunch of them too. And I have been seeing all over Facebook people finding the figure for $5 at Wal-Mart. I don't collect toys of The Simpsons, but for $4 I had to buy it. I always like the look of Bartman, and I always remember liking the Bartman figure from the vintage Simpsons Mattel line in like 1990 or so.

This is just in-fucking-sane to me. The Wal-Mart stores I frequent don't ever have 20 Marvel figures in total on the pegs. If the kind of bounty you describe is common I can see why someone might buy in-store as opposed to ordering online.
I need to start documenting the desolation I see whenever I deign to traverse the retail wastelands.
