Cheap Turtles at Wal*Mart

I saw the new figures for the first time at a WM today. They weren't with the other action figures, but on a totally different aisle with the Star Wars toys. Anyway, the best part was their price. It had a sticker that said "Was: 5.88/Now: 4.50." That's right, the Turtles (and others) are only $4.50 at WM. Has anyone else found them for this price?

Ack, I usually hate traveling to Nascar mullet inbred world(ie: Walmart) but for $4.50 a pop for figures? Not bad! They always have the super low prices there, just gotta watch out for Buford and Twilah with their 7 kids running around^_^

Has anyone else picked up the figures at Walmart for $4.50? PLEASE leave a message if you did - it would help us all save some money greatly if it's true nationwide!

Man that's a big difference...4.50 and 7....Will

Believe it or not, some of us actually watch and follow the NASCAR Winston Cup season. Last year while me and the wife were in North Carolina, we visited Mooresville, "Race City USA", where most of the teams are HQ'd. The Highlight was visiting the new HQ for Earnhardt INC. That place is amazing.


/back on topic
The cheapest I've seen so far at Wally World was $5.88

Oh, I meant Walmart has super good prices...$4.50 for the TMNT figures imstead of say $9-$10 that comic shops over charge.

Funny, they don't seem to be like that where I come from...and I'm from Texas too!

BTW, while I don't like Skynard, I DO like Jeff Foxworthy...as a comedian.

When I was at Wal-Mart all they had was one of the vehicles... No figures! I want a Mikey to have next my PC and marvel at it's plastic magnificence. Then I'd get the rest... and doubles!
