If it's the latter I've been going to my Wal-Mart the past three days for jack shit because I thought it meant they had new shit in and they were about to put it out.

It's a little of both. The sheets mean that the aisle is going through a "reset." Every area that has one is being reorganized for any of these reasons: to consolidate the stock after clearance sales are over, to accommodate a new toy line and/or the re-branding of an existing line (e.g. from Cars to Cars 2).

Most likely the ones you saw were probably prepping for the release of DOTM and Captain America toys. Both officially dropped on 5/16/11. Keep in mind, it doesn't mean they have the actual stock in yet. The stores get those reset diagrams from corporate.

The sheets should be labeled, so you can usually tell what's going to end up where, even if they haven't changed the shelf tags yet.

The Target near me actually put up a separate sign that basically read "This is where the DOTM toys are going and, no, you can't have them yet." On Monday, the sign was down and replaced by toys.
