That place should go out of business.

I have been to Wal-Mart many a time and seen a rare figure like Juggernaut disappear when I go back a day or two later and then appear on their pegs (clearly not as part of a new case).

What is most annoying when they clear out the Winners (like Marshalls up here) because that is all discount stuff that usually didn't sell elsewhere. They buy it up just to have it sit on their shelves at high prices. All this does is rob others of the chance to buy stuff at discount. A bunch of Star Wars vehicles showed up at Winners for $16 only to disappear a few days later and show up at ToysOnFire marked at $40 a piece. A lot of these didn't even sell well at $25-$30 elsewhere so what is the logic? If I ran a toy store wouldn't I be trying to move inventory and make money? Just doesn't seem like great business sense but then again a lot of toy store and comic store owners sadly don't have great business sense.
