Playmobil at Walmart

[Donmobil]

I have read that certain sets were showing up in Walmart stores here in the US.  I have been on watch in our local stores and the toy-section stock folks have no info and some of them claimed that they have not even heard of PM.

So, if you have seen PM at your local Walmart, please list the City and State where they are and maybe we can develope a locator map.

I also read that the sets in Walmart are exclusive.  This is bad because if they are and there are no stores close enough carrying them, we are missing out on aquiring these sets which is a loss to PM in sales.  In my opinion, if a negoteated 'exclusive' is made, then it should be carried in all their stores.  And if it is a 'test', then again they should be carried in all their stores so that a fair test is made as maybe PM sells more in one part of th US and not as much in others.

And I have not seen many of the newer 2-klicky blisters at our local Target stores.

Thanks for calling for this Donmobil, I have wondered the same thing.  I am in Missouri, near KC and have found nothing at my area Wal*Marts so far.

So that's a big zilcho for my slice of the midwest.

Great, another Missourian - I am in St. Louis, Mo..

I keep calling local Walmarts, still nothing.

Hi Don

Target will probably get the blisters in the first few weeks of September.

I was at the Toys R Us on I-270 & W. Florissant and that store didn't have the blister packs yet, but it had a lot of new stuff (circus, roman small-set with 2 gladiators & tiger).

Have you checked out any Kmarts?  From other threads, I've gathered that Kmart has started carrying blisters.  There's a Kmart near my work, but I haven't made my way there yet * (* ie. I am doubtful my local Kmart carries anything so haven't gone to the trouble).

Hi Don

Check out Kmart.  I visited the one on St Charles Rock Road between I-70 and I-270 and it had new blisters--Crusaders and pirates (nothing Roman).  It is more expensive than both Target and Toys R Us, though.

Blisters = $4.29 vs, TRU $3.99 and Target $2.99.

I bet TRU and Target will get these eventually.

Thanks for the information, there is a Kmart near me, I'll look this weekend.  At their price, I will most likley just get one each.
