(...) ...except that the Wal-Marts where I found my sets had them on the shelves. No tags, just the sets nestled in there. It was active restocking. No, I haven't seen any more, so they're probably holding them back now. Glad I bought when I did! (...) (23 years ago, 8-Apr-02, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) That was probobly some wal-mart employee not knowing that the items werent supposed to be out. Either that or someone found them on the top shelf area and put them on the shelves. (23 years ago, 8-Apr-02, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) Right, and if they follow those instrcutions about as well as they (the WM store people) did on the 6776 recall, then not much will really happen here. Many WMs still had the 6776s on the shelf *and* scanning at clearance prices recently. The (...) (23 years ago, 8-Apr-02, to lugnet.starwars)
