I just stopped by my local store and the only two shelf tags with prices
over $49.99 are the AT-TE and the NBA full-court game, neither of which are
really all that new as of this reset. And neither was in stock at this time.
Of course, I live in a town that's just barely big enough to justify having one
of each major nation-wide chain (excluding F.A.O.), and what I've found is that
Meijer and/or TRU usually had the largest sets first by a matter of weeks, so if
Wal-Mart wants people to actually wait a couple of weeks to buy the big sets
they're going to have to do a lot better than knocking a single buck off of the
MSRP.
