Still NO EndCaps
Up at 6am again today, Sunday. I should be in bed sleeping, dreaming of all the new cars stuff that's on the horizon. But NO. I'm in my car by 6:45 and driving to the first Wal-Mart to check for the elusive October 11 End Cap. Nope. Off to the next, Nope. Next. Nope. Next. Nope. Next. Nope. Wait, what's this cube on the floor. It says, 2009 Hot Wheels. 2009? The 2008's are still coming out. Ya gotta be kidding me. Why, why do they do this crap? I'm starting to really HATE Mattel. So there were some new 2009 Hot Wheels, like I care, a lot of 2008 Hot Wheels, like I care. Some 2008 Hot Wheels Holiday Hot Rods which I guess are some special deal. Yeah, at $4.97 a pop they're special all right. There's 8 of them plus a special extra one so 9 at $5 is $45 bucks. For 9 little stupid cars made in Malaysia. Why isn't my Mattel stock going up and up? They make crappy little cars for pennies and sell them for $5.00 each. I should be rich. Ahh, but the only ones getting rich are those suits at Mattel who suck every penny a consumer is willing to spend out of their pocket. And the saddest part is the nicest, best made die-casts of all are the Cars, and yet they don't have any. Wal-Mart after Wal-Mart after Wal-Mart and no end-caps, no new singles, nothing. Well, I hope they suck it up this holiday season because besides those of us on a mission, I doubt sales will be anything better than dismal. Smarten up Wal-Mart, you're missing a great opportunity.
