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 only thing that stopped them from being sold (usually) was a 'Sell Not
Allowed' that corporate put into the pricing database. That effectively stopped
the sales (again usually) at the checkouts. I'm surprised that WM has not done
that type of stop to hold these items until the release date.
