|  Sold Out?
I guess because it's the day after Christmas and all the Wal-Mart's are sold out. But I went to 2 different Wally World's to finally go get the 1:6 and both were sold out? It didn't even look like they stocked them anymore, I mean they had tons of other R.C. crap but no Crawler's? I guess they were just a hot selling item. I have the 1:18 Jeep and it's fine but I kinda hacked it up to make it look/work better so I wanted to get the 1:6 to paint and make nice like my 1:1 CJ-5. Anyone know if W.M. stopped carrying them or are they just sold out?

Does this price reduction worry anyone else? Why would Wally World drop the price by $30 and therefore their profit too? Could Nylint be pulling out of the crawlers? Maybe Wally World is just trying to clear old inventory to prepare for shipments of the latest upgraded units but I'm skeptical. | |

It's the Wal-mart Christmas way. They order a ton of one item, sell it high during the Christmas shopping time, then reduce it after the Christmas shopping time. Every large scale RC they had locally has been marked down, some as much as 50%. Wal-mart's always increase the size of the toy department during Christmas time, then reduce it after Christmas. This means getting rid of overstock. One of our local ones had 4 rows of toys on clearance. $119.99 will most likely be the price from now on. Which would be cool. One thing they didn't do was knock the tires and batteries down, even though they have a boatload of them. One another notes, we have a salvage company local to MS called Hudsons. They buy stock dalmaged in fires,floods, roofs getting blown off stores, etc. One of our local ones wound up with a load of Wal-mart stuff. In that pile was 3 1:6 jeeps and 5 1:18 jeeps/scorpions. $105 for the 1:6th, $31 for the 1:18th. Going to 40% off Saturday. Be waiting in line when they open. |

we went to one of our local wally world and asked about the 1/6th gave a upc to him (toy mgr) and he said it is no longer a traded item...wich means they willno longer carry them he said  they sold really good but take up to much space he says...they will how ever continue to carry 1/18th scale....that was just one of our walmarts we have about 10-12 more with in a 45 mile radius so i hope they continue to carry them....if not it is ok i have a 1/6 jeep a 1/6 yellow scorp and a 1/6 scale red limited scorp and 4 1/18ths so im good on crawlers or a while |
