Not sure how to write this one up, but here goes ... one WM Super Center (and only 1 out of the 7 I visted today) had the 7140 X-wing's marked down at a sizeable discount. The toy person on the floor assured me that they did not do it in-store and (...) (23 years ago, 10-Sep-01, to lugnet.market.shopping)

(...) Y'know, I visit my local WM on a regular basis and I have never seen a LEGO product discounted there. Hmpf. JSA over by Green Bay -- Green Bay Lacrosse-- Play hard; play often. (23 years ago, 10-Sep-01, to lugnet.market.shopping)

(...) I noticed that when the Lafayette, IN Wal-Mart moved the Lego section last month they pushed the the X-Wing and B-Wing down to $23. Last year the B-Wing was $23 for a while, but it was listed as a "RollBack". There's no note to that effect for (...) (23 years ago, 10-Sep-01, to lugnet.market.shopping)

(...) Don't buy so much? Buy a lot and then after they reorder, don't buy any? Seriously, there seems to be some correlation between clearancing and how much the stock turns or moves and how close to the right quantities (in reorders) they can get. (...)

(...) You know, I've had the same experience too, until yesterday. My wife went shopping yesterday and called me on the mobile to tell me that she found a hidden little shelf at WM. This "hidden" shelf was located near the garden section and it (...) (23 years ago, 10-Sep-01, to lugnet.market.shopping)

(...) I was wondering about this myself. The other day, someone on the SEALUG mail list informed us that WM was clearancing Technic C-3P0. I went to WM and walked around the Toy section for about 5 minutes before I realized they moved the LEGO to (...) (23 years ago, 10-Sep-01, to lugnet.market.shopping)

My experience with the Walmarts around here (Cleveland, OH) is that these "Clearance" shelves are not permanent, just showing up when they have alot of stuff to get rid of. They are also not always in the same place, but recently have generally been (...) (23 years ago, 10-Sep-01, to lugnet.market.shopping)

I'm guessing Walmart's clearance procedures are store dependent, or possibly buyer dependent (for a geographic area). I've been shopping at as many as possible between Harrisburg, PA and the Mid Hudson Valley of NY. Each store seems to be in its own (...) (23 years ago, 10-Sep-01, to lugnet.market.shopping)

(...) My experience with Wal-Mart is that while there usually isn't anything decent on clearance, it never hurts to look. In recent months I've found 8257 Cyber Strkers for $15 and 4561 Railway Express for $50 (didn't buy it though) on the clearance (...) (23 years ago, 10-Sep-01, to lugnet.market.shopping)

(...) You're guessing right ;-) I asked a customer service manager about this when my local WM was way behind some of the clearance discounts I was reading about on Lugnet, and she told me it's up to the store manager. In particular, they wouldn't (...) (23 years ago, 10-Sep-01, to lugnet.market.shopping)

What freaked me out was that a few weeks ago I was there buying Lego and 2 days later EVERY item in the toy department had been moved. I (...) (23 years ago, 11-Sep-01, to lugnet.market.shopping)
