Obviously I'm being sarcastic when I say that. I knew this would happen at my walmart. i said it before when someone else posted the displays on here. i absolutely love how clueless the employees at my Walmart are. If you don't have enough stock, you shouldn't have the display up. They had a NASCAR one up as well, stocked to the brim with NASCAR diecasts and all. I asked an employee if they had any WWE stuff in stock and the guy came back with a large cart full of other boxes of toys and told me no. The other side of this display had Nerf guns on it. Anybody else's Walmart like this?

Yep. There's a Wal-Mart in Ruckersville, VA that has everything on it But WWE. The only thing WWE on it is the signage.

Yeah, the one Wal-Mart I go to has the same signage up but has those stupid damn OneDirection dolls on the front and left over Avengers/Amazing Spider-Man/The Dark Knight Rises crap on both sides of it.

Why the do you have a WWE display up when the racks are stacked with other crap? If your going to fill the wwe section up with Lego or Starwars then at least take the signs down. How do these people keep their jobs??

Im sure if Mattel headquarters saw this they wouldn't be to happy since Mattel has to pay to purchase that space in stores, and then to have it stocked with other product thats not even Mattel is even more of an insult! I hate wal-mart nobody there ever seems to take any pride in their job, I know its not the most glamours job but thats how you move up in the world by taking pride and ownership in what you do!. Just my view though!

Yea, that's about how the one in Delaware looks. I got all excited when I saw the signage, then disappointed when I saw the products on it.

Mattel doesn't pay for the space. Stores can change end caps as they wish if sales don't meet expectations.
I do business with them and is a constant battle.

Just my view though! Not trying to pick a fight or anything, but where does this logic come from? So Mattel pays for production of the product. Then they pay for advertising. Then they pay walmart and other retailers to sell them. So where does Mattel make their money? They don't pay retailers for space which is like saying they pay retailers to sell their product. They sell the product to retailers who raise the price some and sell it to us. I do agree about the walmart employees part of your statement though.

Companys DO pay for displays and locations. It even goes as far as paying for a slot in the warehouse to carry the product.

A bit off topic, but a warning.. It's illegal to take a picture inside of a Walmart. It's one of their franchise wide policies and you can get banned from Walmart as a whole for breaking it. My brother works in "loss protection" for them and that's one of the things he has to watch for. Apparently a trick for shoplifters is to take pictures of exactly what they're trying to steal, location of the store, etc. to try to find the cameras and such, to make stealing easier and less chance of getting caught

One of the Walmarts in my area is the same way. They have the signage up, but both sides are filled with other product. They do at least have some kid's belts and masks on the front of the display though.
