Iron Man 2 Blue Ray - Still $15 in Local Ads & Online under Local Ads

i received my local ad for 23111 and area, I called walmart and verified the ad is correct. Was told that local ad prices can be lower or higher than Walmart.com. I was able to check walmart.com & type in my zip and it clearly showed $15 effective sept 12-18. So, does best buy B&M price match this in the store...because its a preorder item at the moment & pickup in store. R there preorder forms in bestbuy or target stores? Im new here so asking & informing other blueray junkies..

My Wallmart ad show s that Iron Man is available Sept. 28. The $15 movies are the 7 surrounding the $15 price not Iron Man 2. It does look a little confusing though.

Re: Iron Man 2 Blue Ray - Still $15 in Local Ads & Online under Local Ads

@g thats why is said, i typed my zip code into the local ad online prompt, the $15 price is there for Ironman 2 & for the other movies under electronics. Actually I searched 2 hrs S & N of my zip . the stores had the same paper ad & same price when I entered those other zips online under the local ad prompt. we need to protest or bbb for price baiting . surely, a store doesnt have to match .com or do the prices be the same. Also, walmart offers rainchecks upon request but i spoke to one CS in a bigger city and they cliamed they did not. major retraining is needed . can we do a pricematch or something . the bbb should hear about this

You just look up your local ad on the Wal Mart website. On mine, it was located on page 11. That's how I got my screenshot.

The rollback indicator is only applied to previously released items at Walmart. I have a hunch the ad is supposed to be for the first Iron Man Blu-ray, and some idiot in the ad copy department mistakenly inserted the Iron Man 2 graphic and product id. There is no way Paramount would allow any retailer to brazenly advertise a new copy of Iron Man 2 BD for $15.

The geniuses working at Walmart's corporate headquarters have probably not realized this error is going on yet.

You weren't hanging out here last Fall and Holiday season were you? This is very believable.

My ad shows $24.96 for Iron Dude Too. I think the hot spots on the ad were messed up and IDT got roped in with the other $15 titles.

Re: Iron Man 2 Blue Ray - Still $15 in Local Ads & Online under Local Ads

seems after i bitched to a district manager today, i was given a gift card for the $10 difference. Im sure he called someone because i waited for over an hour in the store (actually i shopped) to get the result. yes, I had the paper ad, the org. order with price and asked him to pull up the local ad to show the price and i wanted to rain check it, or gift card it...resolution to getting me the product. im glad it worked out but im tired of wallyworld and me fighting like this... bestbuy still reigns with cs resolution for me.!!

Looks like the online weekly ads have been corrected. The other day mine said IM2 would be 15.99 when you moused over it, now it says 24.99.

I'm guessing after the amount of times many of us told them about the weekly ad still saying $15.00 during the whole fiasco Monday that they realized they better fix that.
