Are Wal Mart stores simply not carrying the record, or it this boneheadedness just confined to mine?

I ended up ordering it from Amazon.

Wal-Mart is the only place I could find it. Target and Barnes and Noble, both no dice. Wal-Mart had a bunch.

Wow. So there's nothing constant about this new album's availability. How strange. I know Best Buy and Target like exclusive deals. Maybe that's what it's come to now. Either you do some kind of deal which could be good (AC/DC) or bad (Guns'N'Roses) or have nothing. Barnes & Noble are terrible for buying anything - the cost is way too high.

My walmart had about 10 copies. They'll probably sell 2 or 3. Not many fans in this small town. I didn't buy it though, I have a feeling it'll be in my stocking. :)

The two Walmarts near me have it on their "new release" racks.
I did not see it at all in Target though.

I haven't been in a Wal Mart in years so I haven't got a clue as to if they have it and if so, how many copies they have. I will keep supporting my local CD/LP store.

I was at our WM today and they have 28 copies -- 2 1/2 weeks too late. :roll:

I saw it in Best Buy & Target. No clue about Walmart. Haven't shopped there in years.

Not one place in Helena Montana with a population of 35,000+ has it. Not Wal-Mart, not Hastings, not K-Mart, not Shopko, not even Target. No wonder I buy most everything on line.

Bought mine at HMV the day after it came out for $11.99 (with coupon from the Toronto concert)
Bought another copy for a phriend on Dec 23 @ WalMart for $14.74

And that's all the way in Canuckia.
