At Walmart (at least one store)

[BlackSheep214]

Restocked of the same old model kits at my local Walmart. Could it be Ollie’s not getting any kits in time for Christmas?

[tbill]

Hit my local Wally World last Monday night, almost a full display of kits, all of what’s been mentioned so far. Stopped again today, display almost empty……, but did grab a pro street chevelle for $15 and the garage lift for $20

My closest Walmart still has nothing. I've looked all over the store.

Novi , mi Walmart has the kits on an endcap in the toy section. got 2- 1964 olds conv, one 63 chev wagon, and a 65 GTO latest issue. Lots of coke kits left .Happy hunting and happy

Thanksgiving everyone!

My Yucca Valley Walmart not having kits has been sort of a running gag here, but as I passed by the crafts section (nowhere near the toys) the other day:

About the same kits that hit my Wally World a couple months ago.  They never did restock.  

[SCRWDRVR]

I was in one of our Walmarts last night, they still had some kits but nothing new, I was hoping to see some more of the cases but they didn't have any.

[Daddyfink]

One thing I noticed is that some of the stores have different prices on the same kits. One would think that they would all be the same across the board. 

[Chariots of Fire]

Notice where the price is for the Ford Snow Plow Kit?  It's not 24.97.  It's 29.95.  Price tag is hidden on the bottom of the shelf.  I bought one the other day.

The kits here were moved to a regular shelf - mostly Coke vans and Pintos left, plus the Wacky Races, trikes and Star Trek stuff.

The "car aisle" of my Walmart was almost COMPLETELY empty today! Empty shelves! Empty wall hooks! No Hot Wheels! No Hot Wheels sets! No diecasts! No Tonkas or RC cars! It looked like it had been hit by Toy Car Locusts!

Yes. What's up with the die cast cars? Are they being sold on Facebook marketplace or eBay? I've never seen tat isle so bare. And for months.

Mine used to always have maybe 2-3 dozen diecasts on the shelf--Welly, M2 and Jada--and I probably bought one every two months or so. When covid started, the diecasts got scarcer and scarcer. You'd be lucky to see 2 or 3 new ones a month, most of those just color variations of stuff I already had. I don't think I bought a single diecast there in 2021. I think I bought a total of 8 diecasts at Rite-Aid or the local toy show this year, and then got 3 new ones last week from diecastmodelswholesale.com.

Or the Grinch?

Kits moved to the clearance aisle here - what's left is a couple Coke vans, one Coke '32 sedan delivery, and one snow plow truck - none of them marked down. Star Trek stuff is on an end cap, all discounted to $10 each.

Now I am sad. 

[deuces wild]

Maybe I should hit the store on Ford Road in Dearborn Mi and see what they have.....?

Turns out our store (Valparaiso, IN) had them - still a few there on the end of one of the aisles:

I was in a Target St Joe  Missouri a week before Xmas hot wheel s hook were empty,

[Dpate]

I've yet to see a display in walmart too.  Crazy at some of the kits on the display how cheap they are when i paid $30+ for some of them.  My local hobbytown store sells the coca cola kits for $38 no lie.

[Oldmopars]

I travel every week to a new city. This week I’m in Montgomery AL. I picked up these 3 kits. I always check, only about 25% seem to have them. 

[paul alflen]

Checked Novi, Mi Walmart, still had lots of the coke car and truck branded kits on the end cap in the toy section. Waiting for the clearance sale price now!!!!! Then time to buy!
