Wal-mart lowers prices on hot items to sell even more of them. They often buy in bulk just to do this. TMNT is selling very well and I think it is starting to pick up steam with children.

That large feature you saw was called the license wall where Wal-mart promotes certain toys and changes it every several months.

They tend to do that with Hot Sellers. Turtle figures flew off the shelves here. They used to have 2 long shelves full of 'em. Now they're all gone.

I will be so happy if I get hired at Wal-Mart tommorow, because then I can buy the newest figures whenever they come out!

At my local wal-mart the price dropped and the next day they were sold out of all Foot Soldiers and Shredders.

The only place that has Nano and Foot Techs around here in Maine is Toys R Us. You'd think Wal-mart would have them by now...

I'm in Cumberland so I was at Falmouth and all they had were Aprils, Sport Turtles and regular turtles.

I need 3 more foot ninjas and another foot tech!

All the turtles were sold out at my WM today, almost. One Raph (regular) and some Aprils, Huns and Caseys left.

Good I'm just making sure the turtles are still popular with the kids and that its not headed down the same road as He-Man MOTU. You know that line though well done didnt go well with kids and now theve cancelled it...
