Wal-Mart Pre-Order issues

Today I went to check on an order I had with Wal-Mart, then decided to check the SWAP Force selections. I was blown away with the price increase for Enchanted Hoot Loop and the Magic Three Pack. This is of course an error by the store but it doesn't make me want to pre-order at this moment. Hopefully they correct it soon.

 

I plan on being at a Wal-Mart at midnight October 13th maybe the in-store Hoot Loop will cost less. ;)

 

I did double check any settings that may have caused the currency to change. I didn't find anything. Notice that the Wii Starter Pack has the proper price...? Weird.

 

We Are Loyal to Skylanders First

First, we are loyal Skylanders fans. We are going out of our minds with all the recent Swap Force announcements and pre-ordering. But that doesn't mean we can't try other things, especially to compare so we can make intelligent comments and express ourselves with knowledge and confidence.

Do you remember that scene in E.T. when the kids hid him in the closet with the stuffed animals and the mother looked in and couldn't find anything wrong? Below is our interpretation of that. The WSK had a fun time arranging the figures to get them just right.

Who do you see?

This could also be a Sesame Street segment: One of these kids is doing his own thing. One of these kids is not like the others.

More about the comparison later.

This has to be mistake

Browsing the preorder pages of the various retailers I noticed something on the Walmart site and thought this has to be a mistake. I am glad I didn't preorder from Walmart. I don't think we could wait that long for these Skylanders. "Preorder this item today and it should ship on 12/31/13."

Currently Walmart is the best place around here to find any type of Skylander. The Target nearest us has had zero new shipments in the last two months. I took them off my Skylander hunting route. As the kids would say, "Fail, Target"

And this is a fail for Wally World.
