  1. This is the first year where my little guy has a huge interest in particular video games.

     

    I could have sworn in years past, Target and GameStop both did similar buy 2 get 1 free sales towards the end of October.

     

    Anyone seen or have dates on that sale and recall if the switch games are ever included?

  2. Put me down for wanting to shop on Thanksgiving, we have always done a late lunch meal with the majority of eating and deserts out of the way by 3pm or 4pm. We get to our local Walmart about 430,get everything we need or in a que line, out of the store by 730 or 8pm and in bed around 1030 and no need to get up on Friday until 7am.

     

    No more 3am alarms,no more standing in line in the freezing cold and no more bum rushing the entrance and having it be frantic race to get your item.

  3. Sadly not or at least not for me to make the connection to the very small amount of toys in the ad.

     

    I wonder if it wasn't from years past. All of the labeling was day1,day 2, Day 3 and I don't see where there are separate sales this year.

     

    Oh well it was nice to speculate until the ad came out.

  4. Is it me or is this really similar to last year's ad? I see quite a few of the things we bought last year. The kids pj's are a good deal and something I was expecting to see. No $99 32 in hdtv?

     

    Feeling very underwhelmed at this point with the ads as a whole.

  5. "all that means is we don't want you climbing to reach a product on that shelf and to ask for assistance getting it down ,it is actually just overstock that doesn't fit on the shelf at that time."

     

    Yeah,I get that. At my Walmart the signage on that top shelf that says ask associate for assistance has been covered up and is now labeled Day 1, Day 2, Day 3 and these areas seem to have certain toys above them in each section. It was just intereting, may be irrelevant.

  6. Just curious if anyone in the know is familiar with the top shelf at Walmart? In particular the labeling change. It used to indicate something along the line "ask for assistance for items ". But now the labeling has changed to Day 1, Day 2, Day 3 and the items vary in these day sections.

     

    Not sure if stumbled upon a hint to toys that may be on sale or just over active imagination in anticipation of the ad.

  7. Sounds like an attempt to appease the people who have complained about missing out on other deals because they are stuck sitting in a line for 4 hours. This will be interesting with wrist bands as you could manage to get several big ticket items if you so desired.

  8. Got back from Walmart in Buffalo,NY around 4pm,a lot of people just walking around and a lot of pallets out for the midnight deals,but no ballons to mark the big ticket items and no actual formed lines.

     

    Seems like it would be very easy to go in at any time and stock up on most of the 12:01 deals and just hold them in your cart,no one is really watching any of pallets including the videos and games and get what you need with out a real hassel.

  9. What do you think about the 6am Saturday Tv's? I want the Vizio w/ $40 Walmart Giftcard. Do you think I actually have to go around midnight for that?

    I'm wondering the same thing.. And the bigger question,how many will they have because I was pretty disappointed with the Saturday sale,my WM only had a handful of each of the TVs on sale,no where near enough for all the people that were there in line.

     

    I like the deal though and seems quite a few other people do as well.

  10. So I have been waiting for an email from gamestop confirming my shipping. I went to check on the website and my order was cancelled no reason no email. arhhh so mad

    ohhhh..you had me scared there,never got a confirmation about my order being shipped but I just checked their website and my order is in transit.

     

    Did you attempt to contact them and complain? It's not like they don't have a record of your order and I don't know about the rest of you but I didn't see anything that said.."while supplies last"..

  11. We went to Walmart at about 2:45am,they had handed the last ticket out for the $198 lap top at 2am,so we went to the $298 HP laptop line and got a ticket,we were like 32 and I think they had a total of 45.

     

    But it was a good experience,seemed very organized,lines were set up to snake though useless isles so they were not i nthe way,had the big yellow mylar ballons,as stated on here, so you knew where the big ticket items were,plenty of people to ask where items were,no waiting in the cold.All of the non big ticket items were out and you could grab them if you were not tied down to a line.

     

    The only thing I don't like about it is that it appears there will be no more get up at 3 or 4 am and rush the doors and run to the items you want,it will be a matter of who doesn't need sleep and is willing to camp out in a isle at Walmart as early as midnight to get what you want.

  12. Walmart in western new york has lowered the price of their Turkey's to compete with Tops and Wegmans,dropped it to 29 cents a pound,no qualifying purchase like the other two stores require. Picked up a 18lb Turkey for the local food bank last night for $5.30.
