(CA) Star Wars Episode 7 sets available early at Wal-Mart?

[Jasper Parnebrick]

I posted a couple of weeks ago wondering why the bigger SW Summer 2015 sets were missing form the shelves at all the Wal-Marts that I visited. Well today I was at the store near Sherway Gardens (ON) and they had the new plan-o-gram taped to the racking for the Lego aisle.. It turns out that these sets will be part of the Late Summer-Fall release of the Episode 7 sets, due to be released on Sept 4th. The better news is that the date for Implementation is dated the week of August 10th - Next week!

I took a photo with my phone, hopefully you can read it, sorry for the crap quality... you can see (shaded grey) Rey's Speeder, 1st Order Transport, Poe's X-Wing and Kylo Ren's Shuttle listed among the other new sets from Summer 2015! I hope they make a mistake and put them out early!!!

They won't. But we can hope...WalMart doesn't seem to care too much for embargoes
Planograms are put out in advance of the actual moves so that they can start the move and/or move to reduce stock to make room for others...so would expect some clearance happening soon. I've noticed that it'll take up to a month to get all the new places set after all the shuffling. My local store just completed inventory which usually implies everything that can go on the floor is on the floor, regardless of the planned spaces (don't want to have high backroom inventory).
