They are sending out emails as well now good until 8/11 where using Save30 will save you 30% on one item.
That's still not working for me for whatever reason but it was advertising Save25 on the site for 25% off which is. No idea the rhyme or reason to it but it more or less neutralizes the shipping charge. Think I may go for it sinceI'm not likely to use my $20 in Groupon cash on anything else anytime soon.

 
My local WM just dropped some of the SW figures and other 3.0 figures to $3.00.

Micky

Minnie

Boba Fett

And others were lowered. They also dropped Toy Box Takeover and Toy Box Races to $8.00.

Looks like this is it unless stores are just trying to move what they have and then restock right before Christmas.

 
When did Walmart stop price matching Gamestop?

I was at Walmart today, and saw they had 6-8 Wreck-It Ralph Play Sets still in stock for $29.99. (They claim is clearance, that's about as good as clearance gets around here honestly.)

So, I checked my Gamestop app, and found it to be $14.97 at Gamestop but the closest store was 30+ miles away. http://www.gamestop.com/toys/disney-infinity-wreck-it-ralph-toy-box-set/113429

I took the item up front, and told them it was on sale at Gamestop and showed them the site. They made sure it was the right item, then said they can't match Gamestop.com, so I told them it's the same price at the store, literally across the street.

They pulled out a list of approved sites they had behind the Cashier Service Stand, and low and behold Gamestop is not listed under the online stores they can price match (Amazon and Bestbuy are), and refused to price match the item even though the Gamestop instore price was/is also $14.96... citing they can't match Gamestop.com, and it's not at any Gamestop locally.....

This was Walmart in Gardner, MA.

Pretty sure I can count on one hand when GS was "cheaper" than anywhere else... it's normally the MOST expensive place. What's weird.. you could have tried some shennanigans.. like get Amazon to PM GS... and then Walmart would PM AMZ. Or some suc. Kinda weird though. The "locally" available thing is very hit or miss.

$16.98 on Amazon, so not so bad

 
So lets say my Luke skywalker is at level 10, can i bring the figure to my friends house to play and continue from there? Or is the character level saved on my PS4? I know the amiibo works.

Didn't Walmart stop price matching anybody like two months ago?

Should be saved on the figure itself as well as your ownership of it.

Yes, if you choose "Play as Guest" when you put the figure on your friends base, the level progress of that figure will then be saved to the figure, but not on that PS4. When you put your figure back to your PS4 base, the new progress from the figure will be saved to your PS4 as well.

(And your friend's PS4 will NOT add that figure in to his Collection)

If you choose "Share Ownership", a new profile of that figure will be created in that PS4 which inherits that figure's current level and abilities, any progress gained while playing on that PS4 will stay on that PS4. When you put your figure back to your PS4, the level of the figure will go back to what's stored in your PS4 before

Yep they have. It has started at 100's of them but as of right now it hasn't gone nationwide.
Interesting, the Walmart I was at said they had just gotten that list in the last few weeks...

So maybe they were updating policy?

A Walmart I went to tonight actually had a sign on the shelf liner that said "We Pricematch Amazon!" which was very amusing to me considering it's like pulling teeth at every other location.

Yep posted it all the way back in May.

Walmart ending in-store price-matching

Bargain hunters have been enjoying big savings with Walmart's in-store ad-matching program, now it's coming to an end at hundreds of stores.

The program promised to match lower prices advertised by its competitors.

In order to get the discounts, customers had to present a competitor's printed ad displaying the lower price while checking out.

The store is getting rid of ad-matching at 500 stores by June 9.

Walmart says it plans to implement long-term discounts on items at the stores affected by the change.

No word yet on which stores are ending the program.

WM also bought Jet.com as well.

http://money.cnn.com/2016/08/08/technology/walmart-jet-deal-amazon/index.html

 
I was about to buy Baymax from them but given all this shit they've done to me this week, I don't think I want to give them any more business.

- For some reason the items I purchased by passed the money I had in PayPal using a PayPal card, instead drawing the amount from my bank, over drawing me (I had the exact amount in paypal, give of take a few cents. It should have used that first.) Though this may be a Paypal thing.

- Could not cancel the items due to an error in the system. When I went to return them, they could not put the items back on my Paypal card correctly and was forced to return them to Walmart.com. The workers bitched about Paypal/Walmart the entire time this was going on.

- Could not find my order in store, I got an email saying my item was ready. Went to pick it up only to have them say they couldn't find my order, or order #.. it was no longer in the system, even though they had already pulled the items they could NOT find the order it went with.
Because they could NOT find the order, they could not cancel in store.. they told me to just cancel it on my phone (which I did) and pay for the items while I was there... thankfully they gave me the price quoted online.

(MINOR EDIT) I just got an email from Walmart saying my Site to Store had shipped. Even though the item was canceled, and I got the confirmation the pick up was canceled (not pending, but canceled)... Walmart sent a duplicate of the item to the store and will be there next week............

- I had ordered this Bundle https://www.walmart.com/ip/Disney-Infinity-2.0-3PK-Character-Bundle-5-Universal/51933788

They sent me THIS bundle https://www.walmart.com/ip/Disney-Infinity-2.0-3PK-Character-Bundle-4-Universal/51933782

When I looked at the UPC/SKU/ITEM # on the bundle I had received, it was the same #s at the bundle with Groot/Ronan/Nick in it... so I don't know it the item/box was mislabeled or the site.. When I tried to return it instore, the same thing as above happened, but the workers tried different methods to try and refund my money, eventually a Manager had to come in and push it through due to a mistake they made but it was a one time thing.
So I ordered the chars separately... only cost $1 more and I am assured the characters I wanted.

Sorry, just venting my frustration here.

Why did they update their store policies about Price Matching in stores, just before stopping it a few weeks later?

Was baymax being sold by Walmart or one of the other retailers on Walmart.com?
 
The two Walmarts near me are all but cleared out of DI. One had a single Hulkbuster left, the other I didn't see any figures. I did pick up my site-to-store order of Hulk / Iron Fist / Loki for $11.88.

 
Yeah I just finished getting all the figures now so I'm set. Got tired of hunting for the last three and just bought them.

I paid $7, $9, and $0.04 on the last three just to not have to worry about it. I'll go out this weekend and see if I can find them for cheaper but if not, I'm not going to be to upset. Just happy to finally have all of them.
So all Crystals both Black Spidermans 2.0 and 3.0. Now I need to find a nice shelf to put them on when I'm not using them.

 
I officially am never dealing with Walmart.com or store again unless I absolutely have to......

As I said above,

"Could not find my order in store, I got an email saying my item was ready. Went to pick it up only to have them say they couldn't find my order, or order #.. it was no longer in the system, even though they had already pulled the items they could NOT find the order it went with.

Called up Walmart.com, and explained the situation to the support guy.

He looked into the account and found that the item had not shipped yet, but was not allowed to cancel it on his end because it was a PayPal order, it had to be done at the store it was shipping to.

He called up the store, explained who he was and gave his credentials.

The woman at the Walmart store told him that she cannot pull up the item/order on their system and they are not allowed to work on such matters over the phone.

Stating his credentials again, he asked to be moved up to a CSM. The CSM reiterated what the woman below said, and that they cannot do anything with PayPal refunds in store.

The Walmart.com guy went quiet, as I explained the situation, from ordering, to going to the store, to today.... the woman once again reiterated the same line she and the other woman had already said, and offered to get an assistant store manager on the phone.

The man came back, hung up on the Walmart store and deeply apologized for their actions. He contacted HIS boss, explained the situation and how obstinate the workers at the store were and was able to give me a complete refund. This was just ludicrous though.

Apologies for the Story Time, just.. infuriating. I will not repeat what the worker said, but in no small words, he was also frustrated and annoyed.

The Black suit Spideys are exactly the same. The 3.0 version is just a mass reprint of the 2.0 vita version
 
Anyone have a Vita base I could borrow? I could pay shipping both ways. Shot in the dark because you don't really get anything from it (besides making someone's day!) but thought I'd ask. :)
 
So i have a dumb question. I have 2 xbones (is the plural xbones or xbone or maybe xboni) if i download user created levels to one will i have to redownload on the other before the servers shut down? It seems like i would but i didnt know if this was something that stayed tied to your live account and would be wherever you logged on.

You have to redownload them since they're saved on the console
 
My Walmart got a little restock. Picked up Vader, Maul, and Kylo Ren at $4.96 ea for my nephew.
My Target suddenly has a new whole wall of 3.0 Star Wars figures again (and at least Ultron too, didn't really check any others as I have all 3.0 anyway), either they received a new dumping shipment from Disney or they found a missing pallet.

I'm not saying you don't have a right to be mad as that is annoying as shit but Wal-Mart is notorious for their policies when it comes to literally anything done over the phone. Employees can lose their jobs instantly for giving out the wrong info over the phone, it's not just transactions. I've seen it happen before and they just keep getting more asinine with their rules and changing them so frequently and as such I won't hold it against an employee in matters like this. It doesn't matter how simple the situation is, corporate Wal-Mart is who you want to bitch at in matters like this as every rule always originates back to their home office.

 
I also noticed a restock at wal mart I was not expecting. Mostly star wars but lots of boba fett and Luke fx
Went to check out my local Walmart to see what was in stock, mostly Obi, Yoda, Han, a few black panther and black suit spideys. They also had all their 2.0 and 3.0 starter sets marked down to $5 (and skylanders starter packs). Thinking about getting one just to have an extra base. They had the battle grounds set and force awakens playlets at $11.88.

 
​$5 for a 3.0 start set?  Wow, hope I find that and I'll upgrade from 360 to one.

My Walmart still has the same stock it had after the initial run on the sale.

As far as Target is concerned, it may be restocks or it may be that they finally brought stock out from the stockroom.  Multiple people reported that their stores had stock in back while shelves were empty.  I know that twice I asked if items were in the stockroom (since the target website stated I could order online and pick up today) and was assured they weren't and then they brought the items out after a quick look.  Both times only items for me were brought out despite them stating that they found several in the back and upon returning to the store the other items were still not out in the store.

 
Gonna have to check my Walmart for Black Panther again.
Just order online and have them ship to your store. Did that with Boba Fett. Box was crushed but bubble was intact. The employee, said "Lets go ahead and open this box to see if there is anything wrong" and when she opened it and nothing was wrong she was surprised.

 
Forgot to mention got a Luke/Leia playset for like 7 bucks the other night. Worked out well as I never could get a moment to stop in Wal-Mart for my pickup as I originally got it for 11.88 and they ended up putting the item back. Randomly came across it on Amazon looking for other DI stuff and jumped on it. Just need Spider-Man and Toy Story now and that will round out the playsets I wanted.

 
Anyone have a Vita base I could borrow? I could pay shipping both ways. Shot in the dark because you don't really get anything from it (besides making someone's day!) but thought I'd ask. :)
There's a woman on the "Disney Infinity Trading Post" Facebook page that has one. Maybe you can work something out with her if you still need one to borrow.
 
All I'm missing out is the spiderman playset and I'm done with my Marvel collection. Manage to snag Iron Fist and Green Goblin @ Walmart in one of those Battleground packs

 
My Walmart keeps restocking. Picked up Luke/Leia at $11.88 for nephew.
Mine hasn't restocked.. just some original sw figures left and maybe Ant Man. Also the SW Force Awakens playset at 11.88 but still holding out for a lower price after BB had the other SW playset for $6 or whatever.
