Angry Walmarts are deleting 1/6th Nylints from thier shelves

I just spent my lunch break calling all over denver trying to find another one.... most of them have claimed that they have deleted the from the inventory list to not get anymore, and since they have been deleted they cannot be ordered from that store anymore. I may have found 2 that i am going to get right now... going to buy em while I can!!! Im going to call around to all of the walmarts on Saturday and will report back for the Denver area with status of who is still carring them.. but it doesnt look good. Stupid Walmart! I wonder if Funrise has researched on having someone else to carry them for them?

I agree... i cant see how they are having problems selling them... I CANT FIND THEM!!!! Now if everywhere i went had like 10 of em... yeah, i can see saying "they're just not selling" but "we cant keep them in stock so we are going to stop carring them" "isnt this how companies go out of business? Well, what else can i say.... Its Walmart for ya :neutral:

That's fine, at least you won't have to go to Wallyworld anymore.

Toys-R-Us would be much better.

Good, bout time they put them out of our misery. The 15 1:18th scale ones and 20 1:6th scale ones have never left the stores by me. No one wants the things

Finally.

Just so some of you hardcore 'Lint fans know, they were selling the last of the 1:6's locally for $35. That "should" make you come to the realization of how "bad-azz" they are compared to HG rigs...


...shiieeet, my servo cost more than that ;)

Talking Deleting Nylints ?

Somehow,.... I dont see them deleting these things.
I've only seen them multiply,

Walmart.com has them
http://www.walmart.com/catalog/produ...uct_id=4016706

$149.96 In Stock

The walmarts here have them in stock after I requested they order me one in stock.
Now 3 wallyworlds have them.. after I was looking for one..
the walmart by my freinds house has 6 or 8 Jeeps and Scorpions 1/18 scale in some new colors. or at least I have not seen them in these colors
Blue,Red and Orange. that were not there last week.

i would love to pick up a 1/6th on clearance but they don't stock them. all they have is 1/18th and they are still $45. no wally world around me carries them anymore to my knowledge.

UPDATE ON PARTS
1. The replacement chassis will be here second - third week of March. Once in our warehouse we will FedEx any replacements that are pending.
2. Batteries, Antennas & Chargers will be here next week - we will ship as soon as they arrive.
3. First shipment of axles should be here by 3rd week of March - sorry about these guys but the factories kept delaying our shipment.
4. We are trying to get replacement bodies - if we can get them we will be selling them direct for $25
5. Also if you can not find a 1/6th at your local walmart, www.wal-mart.com has promised to transfer inventory and they will be up in 10 days.

Thank you,

Steve
This just in from Steve
