Title: CUPID - becoming more widely available?
Post by: 4Lindy on February 03, 2012, 08:24:24 AM
My daughter and I were at Walmart yesterday, NO DOLLS!

This morning, back at Walmart 6 CUPIDS on the shelf.  Along with a sign that the dolls are featured in a flyer for this weekend, and apologizing that they are OUT OF STOCK!   So the sign will be accurate in a couple of hours, lol!

Anyway, I just wanted to let everyone know that with Cupid being featured in this weekends flyer, I suspect they are going to be available (if only for a short time) in most stores starting now! 

Well that's my theory, lol, let me know if you see them too.  Must say it was kind of surreal to see 6 of her stacked up on a shelf after all these weeks of scouring the city to find her.

And I feel terrible, and I apologize, but I had no spare funds to pick any up for members here :-(  If I did, I would have grabbed a couple of them to help people out.  My hope with posting this though is to help members know that now may be the time to get them at their own local Walmarts!  Good Luck everyone!

Thank you for the heads up. It's much appreciated. I have been stalking Walmart for weeks on end. For the blind bags, which I managed to grab and for Cupid.

I've asked the associates there countless times, if they had any in stock or even on order. One Walmart across down said they had nothing on order either. Which I found totally odd. So with your tip I will be stopping by there again tonight  :biggrin:

Edit to add: That I looked in my local flyer and no Cupid featured  :blush:

The same thing is happening here.  The last two times I went to WalMart there was nothing BUT Cupids.  Last time there was a whole case of Cupids, one Vanity set, and that's it, lol.  So I think they're rolling her out for Valentine's day, for sure.

My Walmart had the same flyer, but no Cupids at all!  In fact, the whole section has been empty since Christmas.  I wouldn't expect such a problem from a big chain, but what can you do.

Our Walmarts have the same sign. And like someone else said our shelves everywhere have been pretty empty since Christmas. They are finally starting to restock a few places though. Mostly only Skull Shores and Sweet 1600 though.

Same sign at my Wal-mart.   And no MH dolls at *all* on the shelf.  :/

Been checking my Wal-Marts off and on and not seeing them. Their pony selections haven't been so hot either most of the time. The MH section is always pretty empty.

I went to Walmart last night and found nothing (they have the huge MH center aisle display and it has been empty for weeks). Well, my bf went this morning and found one each of the classroom dolls. I know they had to put out more than that! I mean, they even have the Cupid graphic cardboard display header but no Cupid!
