If they were only making 70 cent profit they wouldn't be having a $7.77 sale. The profit margin is higher than that, it is a few dollars, which doesn't sound great but that's how most things work. Walmart does make their most profit on clothes, sure, but that sh#$ is sweatshopped in Taiwan or Malaysia for pennies on the twenties. Everything else they carry is much less.
When I used to order toys when I worked at a comic shop, case prices on Mattel WWE figures and Mattel DCU figures had us making about a 3.00 profit after you considered shipping. This was ordering through price gouging Diamond and this was ordering on a small scale. Pretty sure Walmart gets a deep tier discount.
What frustrates me is that most Walmarts I had been in this year had the empty ass toy aisles. That just reflects poorly on them. Do they not have auto replenish? For Christ's sake, I worked a drug store for several years and we never went a week without a replacement WWE toy when we sold one. We would have a fluctuation of 2-4, but never less than two in stock at a time.

I had the same problem with the Drew McIntyre but they overrode the price. For real?!? I had the same issue too. I found the only drew, and it said item not found. At first they weren't going to sell it to me, but I wasn't walking out of there without it. I ended up having to explain that it was a basic, and I got it for 7.77 when walmart had that sale They'll do it for you if you have another one that will ring up for proof

My Walmart here in Tennessee has those figures and the AJ wouldn't ring up here either. The lady just went and got another figure to scan to get the price and didn't make a big deal of it. Only issue was the rack said $7.99, but it rung up $9.99. I didn't complain, I figure AJ would be hard to find later.

There is always one Mattel figure that doesn't ring up at WalMart. Lately it's been the "new" figures in revision cases. So Because of this I always scan it first to make sure. If it doesn't show a price I bring one that does to the registers. Last time I had a figure with that issue was the Surf's up Joker on their endcap. So I brought the Surf's up Batman to the register with it to ring up.

When I bought AJ, they lady wanted to tell me they weren't available for sale. I told her they WERE (thank you Jedi Mind Trick), and told her I knew of this happening at other Wal-Marts with these exact figures before. She apologized, said she knew the t-shirt series pricing and put them in at $9.96.

Went to the WM where I bought my 2 AJs, and they had restocked them, so I picked up one for my little guy's Xmas. They were once again NOT in the system, even though the lady told me when I bought the first 2 that she put them in. This time it took a half an hour to get the manager to put hem in the system.

Seems like all my Walmarts have is Basic versions of Cena.

You should update with a Christmas Eve Edition, where you RKO the manager and some scalpers in the Barbie section. A video of this would be epic.

I think at this point you should just count it as a loss and not even bother going to this store anymore. If they can't even be bothered to stock up for Christmas then I doubt they are going to care about having stock any other time of the year. Your previous posts/pics make that pretty clear. It sucks but this store is a lost cause.

Your Walmart blows mega butt.
Hopefully your complaints fall on someone's desk that can help you out.
