Wal-Mart, Playmates, & TMNT

Been trying to get to the bottom of this one for some time now.

Then again, I've seen waves of a toy line cleared out, but more waves come when they get new shipments... I can't remember any specific examples...

Though I do know that Target cleared out TMNT toys every so often after the holidays, and they'd get new shipments in weeks later.

Playmates needs new employees just as bad as mirage does.

I am quite positive Paula's statement is truthful and that the "Fall Line" (can you really call it a line when it barely exists?) will be shipping to Walmarts this month.

However, I don't at all believe that these TMNT toys will be shipping to all Walmarts. And that leaves us right where we started.

And frankly, I don't care.

*Ninjinister* · 09-11-2008, 07:46 PM

Was Paula's statement a specific response to your question regarding Wal-Mart? Because I highly doubt these'll be exclusive to one store....

EDIT: I'm retarded, ignore me....

Wow....Rose....no not you. Seriously, you're one of the fans I look too as a great model for the fandom, don't give up on us, baby....ok lame pun....but what do you expect for a guy with a screen name like mine....thinking Fraiser-esque comedy?

Thank you Marry Sunshine for that lovely report, back to you frank!

Anyway I care because I work at Wal-Mart for starters now.
And also We've got about 18 Wal-Marts in my city alone and I'm not kidding maybe 2 of them sells TMNT.
I care so much because I'm having to go out of my damn way to look for a friggin Mole Man that's not even out, boy that sounds sad.

And I know you really do care btw you're just pissed at Peter for being an @ss at you when all you're trying to do is help, it's not your fault if people can't handle tough love.

Yeah like I & Rose said it's not all wal-marts, but allot of them no longer sell Turtles.
Paula really didn't answer my question but hey I can't help be hopefull, I'm sick of driving an hour away just to get these things and then they don't have them. (yes I know I could call but people don't care at stores nore do they know what you're talking about, they also wont hold things anymore.)

**Jester** · 09-11-2008, 07:57 PM

But that's why you have internet pallies....

EDIT: What is the newest Playmates line, to be honest, I ain't buying them much anymore, no interesting new (or Secondary) characters.

I've onoly been buying mini-mutants, but that sub sewer mikey is the newest large set which has 2 bad guys, no one can find them anywhere.
I'm guessing it's just a case of not out yet or another case of UK only but I seriously hope it's the first one...

**Jester** · 09-11-2008, 08:15 PM

The Turtles were there....not the 2 villians.

Yes I figured as much because that's all anyone has seen.

Could we be looking at a Dr. Quease situation?

Oh, Sorry...

Actually that's not true because we just had a woman transfer from a UK Wal-Mart to one here in my city.

It may just be under a differnt name is all.
That's one of the cool perks of working at Wal-mart, after being there for a year you can transfer to any Wal-Mart in the world that you like.
