I submiitted a email about looking for 21st Century Toys on Walmart com. website. If more collector would contact same, I hope to see it on there website. This would save gas and search different Walmart stroe in seaching for the 21st Century Toys.

I did this well over a year ago. I think the more we request that they put this stuff on their web site they are more likely not to do so. They look at it as high request=more foot traffic in store witch means you will likely buy something else while you are in the store while looking for your toys. Just a guess on my part.

...or maybe its that 21c products make up such a small portion of Wal Marts overall toy sales that the corporation feels little need to put them up on their website.

I emailed Wal Mart several months ago about carrying 144 scale by more than just 'New Millenium' and within 24 hours I was contacted by a local store manager for details....

This is right - same with exclusives - you will not see them on the website because they want you in the store. They love nothing more than you hitting 6 WMs in one weekend.. :roll:
