We ask if they have yellow tags cause tags means its local and if they were cheap without the tag then it might be nationwide.

Not sure if anyone is interested in toys, but they had the Sonic 2 characters (4", lots of points of articulation) for $5/each on the regular clearance aisle at my local store.  They were yellow stickers so super YMMV.   Sonic, Knuckles, and Tails were shown... I didn't pick through the whole shelf to see if Robotnik was there.

Not sure if it’s still the case, but that physical Hot Wheel in the Challenge Accepted Edition (of Hot Wheels Unleashed) was selling for a fair bit of money on eBay when the game first released.

My walmart stores look like they are in the process of getting rid of games all together.  Last week they ahd about 9 games in the PS4 case.

 

Closest store to me had the glass break 6 months ago and they still haven't fixed it, all the games are in the back.

lol that sounds like the walmart on the south side of my city, glass door was broken for a long time so all games was either in the back or desk and they were to lazy to look in the back for the games last year that was $3 even though brickseek said that they had few. Haven't been there in a long time cause it dangerous there but I should drop by see if they have games on clearance like the one walmart above.

Who cares what sells on eBay for what price? People should be here for deals as gamers.

While I agree with that... if you don't care for the car, then it would make for a nice rebate towards buying more cheap games if it's still wanted by hotwheels collectors.

Glad someone got the gist of the comment.

I do see how you wrote it now looking back. It was easy to misinterpret. I still stand by what I said though, people shouldn't be looking into buying collectors editions for the purpose of reselling parts. If someone doesn't want the trinkets then just buy the base game.

Got some cheapies at the Squalid-Mart! Final Fantasy 7 remake and Doom for $15 each, Ni No Kuni 2 and Biomutant for $10 each. Could have gotten PGA2K21 for $3, but I can't even figure out how to play it on Switch, so... nope!

I want to just play a few holes in the practice mode, but that menu is like a MAZE, man. It looks like it's trying to push me through the career mode, but I don't want that kind of commitment. Just let me shag some balls! That's it! I don't want to be Tiger Woods here.

So my store has none of the new drops that are being mentioned, but I did find more copies of Planet Coaster and Nioh Collection from the last round surprisingly show up again.

The case is already overflowing with games that don’t sell, but let’s add more instead of pricing them to move

Yeah it is. I remember when we were hunting those!

 

 

So much for the “everything is out on the shelf” line

 

I recall a few years ago before covid I was looking for a Pokemon 3DS game. I had plans on a weekend road trip and I called a store that was hours from my home, yet in town I was visiting, asking if they had a game in stock as brickseek, when I used to work well, said 3 were in stock. The electronics rep answered and said 'nope not in stock' very quickly, as if they personally knew every item off the top of their head.

 

Days later I was in that town and went to the store. Walked to electronics and right on the shelf WITH a shelf tag was the game, 3 copies sitting there. I went electronics and asked for the rep by name who told me on the phone none were in stock. It was them! Told them I was the person who called a few days before asking for the game and it was plain as day right on the shelf, that next time actually look for a customer and not lie to them.

I doubt they cared. They work at Walmart, so they've already given up on life

If the pokemon game was a new release it's more than probable that it wouldn't be on the shelf at release.  Most stores don't stock new release games on their release date.

 

I'd imagine a lot of walmart employees in electronics are there by themselves and worse these days as they are also often over the photo printing area which used to be a separate thing with different employees.  So the default answer to any in stock question when they can't go look (just busy) or don't want to look is "No".   This saves them some grief as I'm sure anyone who has worked there a long time has figured out when you tell someone that something is there and then they show up and it's sold out, you get a lot more hell than the person who you told no to and never came by or did only to be surprised to see it on the shelf.  I don't blame them for not wanting to go look.

While I get that they might be understaffed and it may be a stressful job at times, as someone who worked retail for years I took pride in my work and was never so lazy and dismissive as a lot of these people are. I tried to do whatever I could and never lied to people.

 

As far as the 3DS Pokemon game goes it surely was not a new release. This being CAG, if someone here mentioned it and was looking for it then I would imagine it was most likely a clearance item. I seem to recall Pokemon Alpha Sapphire, Omega Ruby, X, and Y being discounted to like $3 or $4 a few years ago at some locations. That would be my guess as to the most likely scenario to fill the situation.

Four big boxes of clearance marked vidya at one of my nearby Walmarts. Didn't look at the PS5, PS4, and Xbox stuff, but for Switch they had:

 

* Maneater $19

* Hades $14.50

* Pikmin 3 $25

* Persona Strikers $15

* Monster Jam $12

* DC Super Villains $10

 

Looked like they were getting rid of one off stuff they won't be restocking, probably.

Good stuff. Sadly, none of these prices seems to be available in my area though.
