thx!!!

[pottsie66]

Thank you! I am a little let down by WM's ad, though. :(

[gr8girls]

:gdyeahthat:

[elena_398]

Crap. Im not sure now where Im going first as there is no reason to go to Walmart. Found out they carry a different camcorder than the one I was going to price match. Guess Im in line at Circuit city. First time in over 6 years I don't need to go to walmart

[Macrossmaster]

Uhh...umm...

(Crickets chirping)

That's it? You lead with a Polaroid brand TV? I mean, not bad but...yawn.

I simply cannot believe I'm getting better deals on TVs before Tgiving and I'm going to Pep Boys first. What a world we live in! ;)

[nikkilugi]

This ad really is disappointing - what in the heck are they trying to hide?? What great deals are in here? Geez many of the items are their regular prices as of today. Sad.

[Marcster]

Geez many of the items are their regular prices as of today. Sad.
If memory serves, many of 2006's W-M items were regular price items too...

[nikkilugi]

If memory serves, many of 2006's W-M items were regular price items too...

Yeah probably. I price matched a ton of stuff from other stores last year and only got a few of the Wal-Mart doorbusters. Didn't pay attention to the rest of the ad, LOL.

[Steakgoddess]

Wow. Not hitting Wal-Mart this year.

[Brad]

Geez many of the items are their regular prices as of today. Sad.

Wal-Mart very rarely has "sales" to begin with. Even during the year, their weekly circulars mostly have "everyday low price" type items and occasional "special buys".

The early bird items in the BF ad are the true "sale" items and are mostly below regular prices. The non-early birds are in many cases just regular prices like WM's normal ads. Same thing happened at least the last 2 years.

[MeliesMom]

I am so let down. There is no need for me to go to walmart. There is nothing I want. I am looking at toys and a new desktop, I really didn't want to wait at BB but I might have to if I want a desktop.

[Marcster]

...and a new desktop, I really didn't want to wait at BB but I might have to if I want a desktop.

Office Depot's ad still isn't out, and we're still waiting for the rest of the Staples ad.

Don't give up all hope! http://s23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/Marcster2005/Smileypad/Sad%20Upset/consoling2.gif

[jdrd90]

Guess I am crazy but I see a few things on my list that are on sale. PS2 Madden 08 and NBA Live 08. I am not a Walmart fan by any means, but I don't think I can PM these anywhere else. TRU and Target do not PM. I hate giving Walfart my money but it is a pretty big savings. Hmmmmm Not unless Sears would PM.........

[cupidswoman]

Instead of going to WM at 5am, I'll be at TRU instead :D I only saw a couple of things that I would even consider going to WM for but when I look at my TRU list of things to get, it out weighs the 'couple' of things I want at WM, LOL. 1st stop: TRU 2nd stop: Target

[LonghornMomma]

Thanks Brad!

[CrayZMama80]

:tired: (on the ad)
Great job keeping us all informed Brad!

[kmbrly]

:( :no: :confused: :g_shrug: :3paperbag :g_zzz: :insane: :sleeping: :gdsleep3: :bs: :gdsleep: :gdmornincoffee:


They threatened legal action for THIS??

[lilac100]

Thanks Brad glad I had already excluded them because they don't have crap I can't get get somewhere else cheaper.

[Kat07]

Thanks Brad!

[Livin4Real]

Thanks Brad. Now we know why they threatened legal action, they were embarassed :tongue1:

[shannon91c]

Very disappointed.

[lindabacker]

Very disappointed.

Agree. Another reason not to shop Walmart on Black Friday this year. Looks like I am hitting Staples, Target and Lowes.

[Marcster]

Hey, that's not a good thing... With Wal-Mart's sucky ad.... More people are going to be shopping at "my" Staples -- trying to get the same deals that I am after.

This is not going to be good! http://s23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/Marcster2005/Smileypad/Sad%20Upset/scream.gif





http://s23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/Marcster2005/Smileypad/LOL/ices_rofl.gif

[benjamming]

But wait on their ad it says there is more secret sales until thanksgiving day.

[DramaQueenLucy]

wow..they have to be kidding me....there is 1 yes 1 thing in that whole ad that I want! Yes Marc I will be at Staples this year..I am waiting on the rest of their ad...

[jwise182002]

I really like what they are having at WM! It's not great, but they have the things I was going for at the other stores and beat them by at least a dollar! Last year I didn't go to WM at all but this year I'm headed there first! Don't forget that WM usually has the better deals...they are still holding out the secret items!!! I think WM waited so long because they wanted to have the chance to beat everyone else. Stores usually wait till their ad is leaked and then they copycat them well this year WM took matters into their own hands!!! Way to go WM!!!!

[jamieva]

Walmart obviously does not get the concept of Black Friday. That ad stinks.

[toebaby]

Well, this ad made my decision- No Walmart necessary. I actually think I am going to hit some of the smaller stores and online. I guess I get to sleep to at least 4 a.m. this year. Cool!

[dee16]

Thanks Brad

I think next week the are going to suprise us with the REAL AD (I hope) AD stinks:(

[mcmc]

peeps they have not announced the secret items no one knows what they are so don't totally write them off yet......

[drod58]

Thanks Brad. Nothing on the ad that I said WOW!!! I'm heading first to Target. Unless!, that Walmart have something really good on the secret specials that they will reveal on Thanksgiving Day. Last year they had the unadvertised/secret special of the RCA 47" for $448.00 (or something like that). In my store they had only 5 and I got one.

[genoandkiddo]

Brad, I :bow: at your feet. If I could I would kiss your cheeks. Thank you so much. Shhh!
You won't hear anything from me, cuz I ain't one to gossip.:secret:

[jordanjenna]

Does anyone remember the secret deals they released the night before Black Fiday last year. Where they any good?

[Aaron]

peeps they have not announced the secret items no one knows what they are so don't totally write them off yet......

You never know what Wal-Mart is going to do, if you remember, last year they went thru other ads that morning and released a small piece of paper with some in-store specials, so just keep your eyes open for anything.

They're Wal-Mart, and they'll do just about anything to get your business.

[Marcster]

They're Wal-Mart, and they'll do just about anything to get your business.

Except have a decent BF flyer. http://s23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/Marcster2005/Smileypad/LOL/rofl02.gif

Are the EA sports games only for PS2?? I can't seem to read the small print.

[mcmc]

wal-mart doesn't like to be out done I just think that those secrets are going to be really something.

[zephyr97]

Well, as of now, the only thing I might be going to Wally-world for is the Bissell lightweight bagless vacuum cleaner. It would be for my MIL, because hers just broke. Maybe Wal*Mart's secret sale items will be good.

[lisamag]

thanks brad, well the only thing i saw that would intrest me was the furreal friend parrot that was about 50% off the going price, but i already got it from target for $50 with free shipping. no lost here. they made a big stink about nothing. thanks brad.

[AndreaInNC]

wal-mart doesn't like to be out done I just think that those secrets are going to be really something.


That's what we were all saying last year .... bwuahaha

[stationchief]

Might have to wait and see about any last minute secret sales far as a new laptop for myself. But I have a bad feeling I alread missed out as the laptop's $348 secret weekend sale has already come and gone. :(

Far as anything in the ad, I might show up after they open and take a nose dive into what's left of their <$5 DVD bins. That's always fun. :D

[Princessarky]

That's what we were all saying last year .... bwuahaha

yep I was thinking the same thing.........so now I either do walmart and hope to price match some things or I have to drive like 50 miles to all the other stores......might be worth it though lol

[Mom1979]

WM may have to be one of my stops this year, there's some deals there.

thank you Brad!!

[mghtymth27]

Either I need better glasses or I've been staring at ads to long. I thought you wrote you were interested in the funeral friend pot :eyepoppin
I had to read it three times and sound out each word. :lmao:

[Mom1979]

I didn't even know what that thing was but I thought $50 seemed awfully high, it's normally $100 what's so great about the parrot?

[redgssports]

WOW, I just heard that Walmart has been bought out and they are changing the name to...... CRAPMART. Way to go guys, apparently you still have tons of those crappy choppers and stuff from 4 years ago. MMMMMM

[bluebear]

I didn't even know what that thing was but I thought $50 seemed awfully high, it's normally $100 what's so great about the parrot?

My niece (6) got one a few weeks ago, and she and her brother (3) and sister (4) loved it. Not sure if the fun has worn off yet though. It will record things you say, then you have a little remote that you program the buttons, and then you can choose what you want it to say. Maybe it does more too, I haven't really played with it. Pretty cute I guess though, especially for the little ones.

[redgssports]

:chairshot this is what they need at corporate

[casheehan70]

:tired: WOW! I hope the 'secret' sale items are better then that! I guess I get to sleep in this year. LOL

[MeliesMom]

I had to read it three times and sound out each word. :lmao:

I thought it said funeral at first. lol. I read it again though. I know what the furreal friends are. I don't get what the big deal is. I had an electronic talking parrot when I was younger. I doubt it cost that much. Maybe $20. And it would repeat would you said. Is this not the same thing. I see those dang parrots all over walmart!!! I walked by one 2 nights ago and it said Hello! Scared the crap out of me. I turned around and realized it was the furreal friends parrot. :flame: <----this is what I wanna do to those parrots.

[dee16]

WOW, I just heard that Walmart has been bought out and they are changing the name to...... CRAPMART. Way to go guys, apparently you still have tons of those crappy choppers and stuff from 4 years ago. MMMMMM

I agree with you

[starshine]

Got me way WM was having such a fit over this ad. It's not that great if you ask me. Nothing I'm going to go there so early for. Maybe a few things that I will go later for and see if they still have them. Come on WM if your going to get so hush hush and crazy about the ad make it good!!!!!!

[Cannon1]

Extremely Disappointing, w-m- you can go away now, you are dismissed, your 'hay day has passed, go sit in the corner with Woolworths.

[cupidswoman]

I guess I get to sleep to at least 4 a.m. this year. Cool!


ME TOO!!! :gdsign1:

[Spotted1]

I didn't even know what that thing was but I thought $50 seemed awfully high, it's normally $100 what's so great about the parrot?

The furreal friend parrot is normally $59.99 ... It's an animatronic pet.. Meaning it's pretty much like a real parrot, without having to worry about it flying away or pooping on stuff. Or feeding it. $44 for it is a decent price drop.

My 4 year old wants it, but I veto animtronic pets..we got enough real pets to deal with here.

[Mom1979]

Oh ok good lord those things cost that much?
Granny had one & the kids ALWAYS played with it; hers was so old, I didn't know if it was the same.
Thanks :)

[Wirble]

My theory on why WM held out on this junk ad:
WM is counting on people coming to WM on BF thinking they are going to get a deal, because that is what BF is supposed to be all about, right? :yup:

They count on the people who just buy the stuff because its BF and dont really realize that is not really a "deal". :rolleyes:

Those of us who visit these deal sites on a regular basis KNOW this ad is junk and there are no "real deals" on it.
WM did not want us to see the ad early because of word of mouth being such a wonderful thing they knew we would know its junk and tell people.:secret:

And thats all folks

[picadilly]

Does anyone remember when the "secret" sales were first posted last year??

[gwiz5kids]

:mad: This is the "Top Secret Ad"?
I must say that i purchased two of the jackets last week for ten bucks.
Not a real blitz to me. I'll take my chances and go to WM after TRU. I bet there will be plenty of PJ's left when i get there.:D

it is 46 at Target now

[MusicMama]

Wow, and to think I was agonizing over this being the ad I most needed to see. Ugh ugh ugh. If I were a wally marketing exec, I'd be in fear of my job for this being the most lame ad ever. 2 things out of the whole ad - the DS pack and gee, I forget the other. Both of which I can find more than 3 other places for similar prices. And as far as the 'secret specials', I won't have a computer with me and I sure as heck won't be checking back in. The WM I was at last year didn't even have the extra flyer to hand out - let alone have the items on it.

Daughter will be happy - will be more time to get to the mall / Target early! Hubby might be happy - I'll just send him to Staples for the laptop (because BB is way too far away, even though the Sony is the one I really really want). And I'll be buying the GPS from KMart on Thanksgiving morning!

Brad -- sorry they gave you such a hard time over such crap!

[djcfunk]

My first reaction to seeing this ad...no wonder they were upset when people tried to leak it early. I wouldn't want people seeing this if I ran the company either. BOOORING. We usually hit Wal-Mart on BF, but will probably avoid this year.

[blakes_mommy]

No stopping at wally world for me either. Disappointed as usual!

[yuyi64]

:( :no: :confused: :g_shrug: :3paperbag :g_zzz: :insane: :sleeping: :gdsleep3: :bs: :gdsleep: :gdmornincoffee:


They threatened legal action for THIS??

My sentiments exactly! When I first saw this ad two days ago I was so underwhelmed I felt like calling Walmart and telling them they should be be PAYING deal sites to post this lame ad instead of threatening legal action to keep it hidden. Maybe the reason they wanted to hide it is because they knew the ad $$ucked!

[deelite]

I have a question about the Kodak camera and Panasonic camcorder...are they good deals? The Kodak camera is a 10 optical zoom and the Panasonic camcorder is a DVD cam. Are they "good" deals?? :confused:

[tdanette]

That's it? I would have bet money they would have tries to beat everyone else on the Nintendo DS bundle by at least $10.

ETA: I see Garth Brooks is still a fave :cheesy:

[shopping mom]

Guess I am crazy but I see a few things on my list that are on sale. PS2 Madden 08 and NBA Live 08. I am not a Walmart fan by any means, but I don't think I can PM these anywhere else. TRU and Target do not PM. I hate giving Walfart my money but it is a pretty big savings. Hmmmmm Not unless Sears would PM.........

check your Sears they might though the word is they are changing their policies too. Last year my Sears was great about it. I plan to ask in the electronics section this weekend. :yup:

[EYGLE]

I to am not a a big fan of Walmart..but we don't have a Best Buy, Circuit City, Office Depot or a Toys R Us so we really don't have a big choice. I am waiting for the Menards and Shopko ads to come out.

[johjstc]

Does anyone remember when the "secret" sales were first posted last year??

I believe it was like 5pm on Thanksgiving night, you had to go to their website.
I could be wrong but that's what I remember.

There is no Circuit City or Office Depot where I live either. We use to have a Toys R Us but that closed cause there prices was just too high & they was not making any money. Our Best Buy went into that building. Altho I never go to Best Buy on black friday. Too crazy for me.

I am waiting on the Menards & Shopko ad too. Usually those 2 are out only days before black friday.

[pmdemey]

How is the polaroid brand for hdtvs? We want one but would like opinions from those who have them. Thanx!

[cpres]

Well one good thing...Wal Mart will be LAST on my trip instead of first...if I even decide to go there for the DVD's that are gone by 6am.

[Uberfemme]

How is the polaroid brand for hdtvs? We want one but would like opinions from those who have them. Thanx!

I had one in my exercise room. The best thing about it was the 3 year replacement warranty from Ciruit City that I used in a year.

I had that Dell laptop and it didn't do too good either. I don't how they can run Vista on it.

[kbabral]

This was the worst ad yet. Ugh. No Wal-Mart for us this year, I'll be in line at Kohl's!

[sweetlilac]

Unfortunately, all we have is a Wal-Mart and Kmart. And Kmart waits to start their sale--WM starts at 5AM, Kmart at 6AM. Then the local ACE hardware at 7AM. yee ha. :rolleyes:

This ad really does stink. Where are the SALES?!?!?! So boring.

Thanks, Brad, for posting it!

[christyandtimm]

Maybe they are wanting to see everyones reaction to their sales and then they will give off better "secret sales" to try and get our business. Something just does not add up with this add and why they are having all of these secret sales. I'm sure they are monitering all of the BF sites and when they see that they are not at the top of everyones list, then BAM, a bigger sale, or maybe not.

[rimshot]

Researched the big doorbuster tv and it got all thumbs down. Typical.
Sad thing is I'm an hour away from any other big store. So guess I'll be in my jammies waiting to see what Best Buy has online.

[btvsfreak]

How is the polaroid brand for hdtvs? We want one but would like opinions from those who have them. Thanx!

We have one and we love it. We have had it for a little over a year and it is still working perfectly and looks just as great as when we got it. I know it's not as fancy as the brands everyone is going crazy about, but for us it really is great. If you just want a nice t.v. that looks good and doesn't cost an arm and a leg, there's nothing wrong with the Polaroid.

[missy1]

Just a heads up - I went in our local store today (TN) and they already had 2 rack of the ladies $10 coats (no mens that I could find) out. We buy for families for Christmas so this helps a lot. Not bad for $10 and they had cute colors the teenagers will love.

[dmcginty]

What do you guys think about the two desktop computers in the ad, is either one of them any good? We are looking to get a new one, for internet use and some online game playing.

[Lyricsmama]

Wow... BLECK! Thank goodness I decided to stay away from walmart this year anyways. Target and Staples here I come.

[cheyandwysmom]

Sooo....question. The highly coveted (at least in my house) bounce n spin zebra is in the ad for $39 something...at the Walmart in Beaver Dam, WI today it was a Rollback for $33...??? Do you think it will stay that low or go back to $39?

[MeliesMom]

I dunno. I can't believe it was on rollback for $33. I already bought one but had been looking for a deal on one for a while. I got mine for $33 at Kmart. It was $38 and I had a $5 off fisher price purchase so I went ahead and got it. In the ad it says $39.xx so I think you better buy it. That is the lowest price I've seen anywhere anyways.

[trumpet87]

First off, thanks Brad!!!!:D I'm SO sorry Walmart gave you so much grief over this ad. It is SAD :( WOW. I really am speechless for once! Here's to you, Walmart :razz:

[CarpeDiem]

Wow that is beyond sucking!

[JCBeBe31]

No wonder they didn't want it released. It's pathetic!!!

[yellowlilax]

no one thinks the GPS is a good deal? i think it is...especially for a Garmin

[yellowlilax]

also like the price of the rocker game chair - and thats the best price for a digital picture frame of that size i've seen (i havent researched a ton yet though)

[staviles]

The Be-bratz are at a great price..now just need to wait for the movie!!!:D No Wiis though? Weird ad for so much fussing:confused:

[tigerlady]

I can't believe WM threatened legal action over this :insane: what a joke :gdlaugh:

[faten]

I thought it would be worst to be honest...
It think the cyber shot camera 7mp for 80 bucks is not bad at all
I wonder if walmart will do price adjustment if I buy it ahead of time?

[money13]

Yeah not to great there Wallmart there has to be things added once the paper comes out no way that is it...Target and Kmart gave them a beating if so...

[mom_of2boyz]

It is not available to buy now. It is not current merchandise. But yes it is a decent camera for that price.

[countingcrow]

No wonder they didn't want it released. It's pathetic!!!

I think everyone on this message board wants a brand name TV, or a laptop at an insanely cheap price, which is why they are disappointed. A few of the deals in the ad were actually pretty good.

I don't want a tv or a laptop. Or anything else electronic, for that matter.

I was actually hoping for a larger toy section to the ad. Particularly toys that aren't from Fisher Price and doomed to be recalled for lead paint. ;)

Last year everyone complained as well yet come friday the line was as always stretched out to the street at 4 AM :)

I will hol dof judgement until the "secret items" come out

[kklracing]

The "secret items" last year were nothing spectacular. I remember a sheet set and a robe. No electronics.

[mgreen]

I can't get to the ads. It keeps telling me the bandwidth limit has been exceeded. Does that mean that too many people are looking at the ad at the same time and I have to wait until some people stop looking at the ad?

[Scruzin]

I have been trying to see it for most of the day and i am getting the bandwidth message also!
Does anyone have it downloaded? Send me a PM

i had this issue during the day yesterday but i found that late at night there was no issue.......... :yup: :yup: :yup: :yup:

Yikes- not a thing to be had there...

Are we now allowed to discuss the ad?

OK I can not tell from the ad but maybe one of you knows is the DVD camcorder mini DVDs or full size DVDs. A friend is looking for one to record the birth of her baby and send the disc to her husband in Iraq but she wants the full sized discs and not the minis. We went to two different WM trying to see if it was in the store already but no such luck. Just wondering if it was going to be worth it for an extremely pregnant woman to stand in line for. Thanks for the help.

I can pretty much guarantee you that it's the mini DVDs. I don't think they make too many models with the full-size discs anymore. And judging by the size of the camcorder compared to the disc part, that would be an absolutely huge camcorder if it was full size.

Thanks Brad!! I will definitely let her know. I guess I need to do some more research on the DVD camcorders now to find one that will work.

There was a huge TV last year for $500.

I got that TV is was a 720p 52" RCA.

It is really nice for the price. We love it. I would rather have the 48" LCD but for the money it is sweet.

I am expecting a Great deal on something and three or four other crappy items. :)

I don't get this ***we can't talk about the ad except here***

Sure I understand the whole legal issue of posting the ad...but from what I can tell you can ONLY view the forums if you are registered, so if you are registered you can see this forum.

Therefore, if you have an account on this site you can see all posts no matter what and can see this forum anyways. Now those who don't have an account casually browsing will not see it so I guess that is why?

What a disappointing ad...I am keeping my fingers crossed, I have to work until 12am Black Friday morning, do I go and stand in line for the GPS? Need to do some more research, I wonder if the Kmart GPS is better than this, I could always go to Kmart Thursday morning before I start the turkey...lol!

I thought there were some okay toy deals. I am pretty excited about the leap pad read and write system and the $5 match box cars. If I go, I will probably pick up a few of the character sleep sets for $5. They don't have a great door buster that is going to bring the crowd in!

[love a deal]

Not too disapointed. I'm hopeing to price match a few things at WM and save me from running all over town all morning.

Love a deal- where in Arkansas are you? I live in Ozark, but I will be shopping in Fort Smith!

Again still makes no sense...if you are NOT registered you cannot read any of the posts.

Did anyone else get the great urge to sleep in with deals like this? I have found better deals at well everywhere ! So far I am only going to Cvs on thanksgiving and walgreens and sears bf. I have not really looked at radio shack or big lots.

[mywarmbluefleece]

Uhh...umm...

(Crickets chirping)

That's it? You lead with a Polaroid brand TV? I mean, not bad but...yawn.

I simply cannot believe I'm getting better deals on TVs before Tgiving and I'm going to Pep Boys first. What a world we live in! ;)

My Polaroid brand tv that I bought from Walmart was the second worst purchase I've ever made.

[Sassy Vixen]

Out of curiosity ... does anyone know if Walmart will be price-matching this year? And how are we able to find out if other stores are as well? It seems employees have multiple answers to this question ..... :(

Thank you for posting the scans ... atleast now I know there's nothing to get excited about. :-p

[nmiracles]

The best way to know for sure if you can price match, is to call your local store and talk to the manager (take their name). Not too many stores take a corporate stance on this.

[cpres]

Well last year the ad came out, and last year it went around "oh gosh it is the fake ad we can't wait to see the real one" and guess what...it was th real one. Don't get your hopes up this is fake.

[fuzzylogic]

You must have forgot the supplemental in-store ad that showed lower prices... Expect to see the same thing this year.

Why does this bother you so much...do you just HAVE to talk about it outside this subforum?

Thanks !! I was afraid if I asked to speak to a manager I'd be pestering them .. when they're probably busy enough as it is ....:o

Don't worry they're used to it. This kind of question is easier than most of the crap they get to deal with.
