Another Saturday drive

This whole Wal-Mart end-cap thing is really irritating. I guess there is a date on the shipping box which informs Wal-Mart to put the end-cap display out on the floor on October 11. But, on September 30th, I stumbled upon a Wal-Mart that had already put out the new stuff. Large blister packs of Al Oft, Barney Stormin and Lightning McQueen. Plus they had the regular releases of Axle Accelerator, Sally Cone, Spin out McQueen and Lizzie. Surprise, surprise, the large blisters were $5.97. Whoa, nobody told me the price was going to be higher. How come the price wasn't higher for Barney Stormin when Wal-Mart had him as an exclusive? Whatever. So I picked up as many as I could and ran for the checkout. Since that day, I've gone out every morning looking to see if any of the other surrounding Wal-Marts have put up the October 11th end-cap. Other than a couple of W.M.'s that had already put out the end-cap and all the merchandise was gone and one W.M. that had just stocked the merchandise in the regular cars area (Duh), I haven't had any luck. So it's a waiting game. I'll keep checking and hopefully, I'll come across another display and pick up the new cars that I need. Happy Hunting.
