Wal-Mart jacked up the prices again

So now that the new items are starting to hit the shelves it seems like Wal-Mart has put the prices of the Ultra and Voyagers back up to what they were in November. They dropped the prices saying that because the dollar was so good but the dollar is still pretty close to where it was at that time but back to the old prices we go. What ever happened to them saying that the rollbacks were not sales and that those were the new prices. Those frigging commercials they have of people staring at their receipts, supposedly is disbelief of the low prices are such a joke. They're probably staring at them wondering what happened to the rollback price they saw there last week. God I hate Wal-Mart.

Re: Wal-Mart jacked up the prices again

lol, yup.

Rollbacks is a cover/scam.

I go to one wal-mart often enough and their prices on everything from fish food to creamcheese bounce around in price like crazy. When it is at the low end, it's 'Rollback' or the US/CAN dollar claim, then when back to the high price they're just there.

Heh, maybe they are just coinciding with the fluctuating gas prices

Re: Wal-Mart jacked up the prices again

I knew this would happen, Hasbro is getting ~1.5x the profit here for each transformer sold so they figure as long as the Canadians pay the price, why change them?

Needless to say this helped me in my decision on getting Nightwatch OP, because I sure as hell won't at $69.99 again.

Re: Wal-Mart jacked up the prices again

Last I checked leaders at Walmart were $59.xx, same as TRUS. However Canadian Tire has a limited supply of Leaders for $49.xx (on clearance)

One could say we pay 1.5 time the US price to cover freight and all that crap, but still... Oh well.

This makes ordering from the states just a little bit better.
