Well that is surreal. Did they have anything like that in the book department?
Kind of sort of but not technically.
Those game/nerd stuff sections up front in Walmart, Target, or what have you are actually unnamed kiosks for other companies.
They pay to stock that stuff on their "own" shelves in a prominent place by the registers.
That's why the employees of those stores usually won't be able to help you with that stuff- they don't even stock those shelves so they have no clue what's on them.
That's also why those shelves tend to be so cluttered, and usually never have new stuff stocked until long after it comes out- the company that owns those shelves sends a truck around ever now and again to clean up, put out new product, and change stuff around.
So Walmart isn't carrying D&D stuff, its allowing a separate entity to do so.
That's how its been explained to me at any rate.
Am I reading that right? Are they charging $29.98 for the starter box?
Got it here at Joplin, MO as well!
