I second the Hot Wheels thing. Usually there's quite a few of these guys.
One of the things I notice when hunting toys is that they never have what I want (Joes, Marvel Legends etc.) On the other hand they always stock hundreds of toys based on movies that nobody buys. Seriously I have never seen anyone buy a Shrek piece of merchandise.
Walmart only restocks they shelves 4 times a year, one for each season. Occasionally they opt to stock a new item. They also never clean/orgranize their shelves, the toys just lie in a heap.Totally different then the Walmarts I've been to in the States.
The cost of lego and playmobile is ridiculous!!!! Seriously what's up with that?
I've also found that people go out of their way to hide toys down different isles. (is that how its spelled?) How many times have I spotted something completely in the wrong section. Come on people, either buy it now or leave it alone.
Thankfully gas isn't that bad for me. I've got a Walmart, Zellers, TRU, Superstore all pretty much clustered together, so I park and walk. I won't go check out other parts of the city. That's never worth going into traffic with so many stupid drivers out there and poor traffic flow.
