Something odd at a nearby WM

Went to the WM in the RI Mall this morning. This is a store that never has any product put out, ever. Hands down, the worst WM in 25 miles.

What do I see today? Five or six different 10th Anniversary JLs!!!! Had the 'Cuda, the '32 Ford, the Corvette Corvair, couple of others. made me stop and say "What the heck ....?"

Odd, very odd. Haven't seen these in almost a year!

Sounds like someone's hitting the return circuit, eh? Seems like the only way my local WM gets anything new, returns! Put up the Pop Culture pegs in January, they have yet to put ANYTHING on them.

Probably picked them up at Big Lots for $1.99 each and returned them to WM for store credit of $3.24 each.

That reminds me, a new Big Lots just opened in RI this week. I tipped Dave_antos to it, as it's in his area, but he was out of town this week.

Went there the afternoon of their opening. No whites (there should have been at least one or two, so I'm sure someone else hit it first). But they left behind a 10th Ann. Mach 5!

one wm near me just got in 8 cases of older stuff.They had some of that stuff in it.The weird thing is they usually get 1-2 cases or strips per month. They are re-setting all the stuff for christmas right now,I`m wondering if that has something to do with it.
