So if you cleared out the store, How does that help us?

Because our stores might happen to have the same deal.

Nice find, though! I might have to go pick out a few that I was hesitant to get when the series was out!

I think it helps also by keying people in to the Walmarts they don't need to visit since they have been cleaned out.

Very true! I wish I had a Walmart closer than 30 miles away. Any chance somebody has a Walmart product code for Series 3?

Wal Mart clearance prices and timing are almost never widespread. The one exception to that is right after the holidays they tend to have similar deals at most stores, but even then I've seen one store on one side of town have something on clearance, another store on the other side of town have the item at full price. For these one off finds, it generally isn't worth the gas to drive to Wal Mart because you will almost never find the same deal.

Walmart prices are always different from store to store.

Prices and Selection. I've got 2 Walmarts that i check that are less than about 5 miles apart. During easter, one store got 4 different Lego poly bags, the other... nadda. One store had World races 30-50% off, other store had em at full price.

Walmart is totally a YMMV store.
I have mixed feelings about new releases: I can't wait to see and get the new sets... but I can't figure out where I'm gonna put them or store them.
