BlackSheep214 Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 You wonβt find it the kits on clearance in the ToysΒ department. The clearance aisle was located near automotive and seasonal. The clearance aisle has a variety of stuff on clearance from minor housewares items, masks,Β to knickΒ knacks and other item excess items.

wayne00 Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 I was in the North Vernon, IN Wal-Mart yesterday, they had one of the pallets in the back main isle. It was picked over but I was able to get the Ford snowplow and a Chevelle pro street. Β Β Rogπ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even the Coca Cola kits! Each store does their own clearance, so not everyone will have that same $7 price. Some stores are even just getting their initial pallet in. But I appreciate the heads up because I will be searching the clearance section more diligently now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewetwo Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 Looking at the pics I have all they have. Except for the semi. So I'l not too interested and won't bother checking anymore.

At least with the 40% coupon they would get money out of me for SOMETHING if I walked in the store and couldn't find a kit I wanted.

Yeah I don't think this was their intent when they said they would save the customers more money by getting rid of the coupon. I used to do the same thing with Greenlights and Auto World 1/64's as the coupon took it down to the WM prices next door. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldmopars Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 I agree, I am ending up just buying multiple of the same kits so I can build it differently or trade it to someone here for something I want.Β I only do this when they are 40% off, never full price.Β Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metalbeast Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 My local Walmart has them. Two weeks ago on a cardboard island and now they're on a shelf. I picked up the Popper Pinto and regretted it once I got home and opened it. π I might go back for the 69 Torino Cobra. We'll see. Or maybe I should just take up my buddy's offer to go to Dean's. Been too long since I built anything and I don't think the Pintos gonna spark the inspiration. π Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
