Walmart is especially guilty of this when it comes to some of their exclusives. They did it with the ROTF Scout 2-packs and the HFTD Voyager 2-packs STARTED OFF with red stickers and in the clearance section! They didn't even give it a chance with the regular stickers. But the price is still $30, which is frickin' MSRP!

....sorry. Told you it was a pet peeve. Every time I walk by one of those, I mutter under my breath "That's not what clearance means, Walmart."

It ain't on sale till the price drops. And it ain't on clearance till the price drops A LOT.

I think you and I hanging out at Wal*mart together would be a merry time. Wal*mart rarely lowers the prices on anything here, as they'll keep stuff sitting on shelves for years. An Energon Ironhide once stayed on the clearance shelf at my local Wal*mart for $19.97 for TWO YEARS.
