Yeah the store exclusive thing drives me (and I assume all Cdns) nuts. Either it's Target or we don't get them anyways. It seems to be the result of a mix of not enough retailers taking interest in the product and 'we got it, you didn't' competition between the retailers (Target is in the process of wiping out walmart).

My hockey coach used to use the expression 'numb nuts' for someone who just stayed still and didn't do anything, and if the people who make decisions for Wal-Mart USA are numb nuts, then we know just how out of tune, clueless, and numb-nutted those working in Wal-Mart Canada's office are (they probably think Pokemon and Ba Da Mon are this x-mas season's hot products).

Ah, ffs. Way to screw the pooch, Wal-Mart Canada.

And yes, I heard back from the district mgr I contacted and can confirm he's not happening.

Seriously, this sucks.

Well looks like a trip to the states is in order as this really sucks he won't come to Canada. But was anyone really surprised by the answer.

What the heck? I'm really starting to hate Walmart. They won't drop the price on a majority of their products, and now we don't get Starscream.
