abentley Posted October 29, 2016 Posted October 29, 2016 I traveled over 60 miles to one Walmart that was showing a " Hatchimal" in stock. After looking around in the store , they realized it had been sold. The checked stock in a mother store 40 more miles away, and it was showing in stock. They called down there to verify they actually had one, and as luck would have it, the had 2! They took my name and offered to hold it for me at the customer service desk. The entire drive down I was very excited and appreciative of the first stores help. I reached the 2 nd store location to be told that they sold the one they were holding for me. Ugh! I know it is " the hot item" of the year, I know they are hard to come by! I was so disappointed that they told the Walmart associate in the 1st store they would happily hold it for me! That isn't the shiniest example of great customer service!
mamapenguin Posted October 29, 2016 Posted October 29, 2016 Classic Walmart, I'm sorry that you had to endure Walmart's customer service. I keep my expectations really low when it comes to them, and I try to avoid shopping with them altogether. I hope you find your Hatchimal(:
cllehto Posted October 30, 2016 Posted October 30, 2016 I've ordered things online at Walmart and gotten the email to pick it up in the store and they do not have it. They don't seem to care.

abentley Posted October 30, 2016 Author Posted October 30, 2016 Have you found one yet??No, I haven't gotten one yet. I know it is going to be extremely difficult to get one, as everyone else wants them as well. My fingers are crossed that somehow I am able to!
Dyva247 Posted October 30, 2016 Posted October 30, 2016 I saw them at a supermarket! It was a Shop Rite I believe. I was surprised they had 2 sitting on the counter and no one really paid them any attention. The egg picture is on outside of box I guess so you can't tell what will hatch. Check unexpected places you may luck out. If I see them online I'll post as well. Fingers crossed you find one.
Dyva247 Posted October 30, 2016 Posted October 30, 2016 I read a post somewhere you can order from the manufacturer SpinMaster with free shipping for $59.99. I hear Jet.com may have them too.
ytmomof4 Posted October 30, 2016 Posted October 30, 2016 Try toys r us.i went in Thursday's morning when the toy book started and was surprised they had 6 of them.they keep them at customer service
abentley Posted October 30, 2016 Author Posted October 30, 2016 Thank you for al,mother suggestions of places to look. I think my biggest obstacle is that I live in a very rural area, without most of those options for shopping!
mcwalker Posted October 31, 2016 Posted October 31, 2016 (edited) Target.com says soem stores have them on sale for $49.99 right now.

bribri25 Posted October 31, 2016 Posted October 31, 2016 I've been in a store today that mine said was in Stock. It was not...
Kanyon71 Posted October 31, 2016 Posted October 31, 2016 We got one at Toys R Us. Wife saw it in stock went to the store right away and out she came with it. Saw some people charging like $200+ for them.
abentley Posted October 31, 2016 Author Posted October 31, 2016 Thank you for all of your help! I went to Walmart this morning in my way to work, and was able to get one! Super happy! 4
bribri25 Posted November 1, 2016 Posted November 1, 2016 Thank you for all of your help! I went to Walmart this morning in my way to work, and was able to get one! Super happy! Wow! That's really awesome. Glad to hear you got one. Sadly, it was giving WM business; but if you didn't buy that one, someone else surely would have later that day. 1
santaclaus Posted November 3, 2016 Posted November 3, 2016 I have found hot items at Kroger so be sure to check there. My husband worked third shift, knew I was wanting one for my child from the angel Tree. So if you happen to know a 3rd shift person, let them know what you're looking for.

One of the perks of working retail, I miss that.
