Thats fine and all but if your that tight in the budget where you dont have 80bucks to spend in one shot then should you spend that money on a toy? Probably not.

Yes I know Do Boy, you have a great job, company car and company gas card....If your hesistant to spend $80 on a toy for your collection than maybe its just not that worthwhile.

Im not implying that anyone is poor or anything like that but IMO, if you have to put a toy on layaway then you probably shouldnt buy it. Layaway is good for items that are of high cost (appliances, furniture) and can be hard to obtain or sell quickly but for a piece of plastic as do boy puts it, I dont think it makes any sense.

This Walmart layaway is only for the holidays anyway, 10/17-12/16, and how many of us here will actually benefit from buying something from walmart thats more than $15 and totals to $50 that we'd have to buy from Walmart and couldnt buy outright?
