A few days ago bought myself and son a few packs of Ixalan from a local Wal-Mart and they rang up at $3.33 a pack while marked as their usual $4.18 a pack price that has been that way for the last couple of years.
And today I'm in my hometown Wal-Mart and tell my son to grab himself a pack of Ixalan. After checking out again it rings up as $3.33 a pack over the $4.18 posted price on the racks.
Is this a regional screw-up or has Wizards dropped the price with the box stores?
On a side note, my son scored a Hostage Taker and the two decent uncommon lands in his pack, after getting another Hostage Taker in the 2 packs from a few days ago. Gotta love good value at a reduced price.

STOP using "dude/bro" as a pejorative or insult. Grow up.
Margaret Thatcher: “The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money.”
Benjamin Franklin: "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."
Martin Luther King Jr.: "I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character."
The Wal-Mart by me has normal price packs, and all of their prices are a little higher than they should be, like $44 for a fat pack (or bundle).
As priced on the rack or have you purchased for that price?
I ask because it clearly stated $4.18 with IXA on SKU/tag on the rack at both stores but when they were rung up they were only $3.33 each. I'm starting to think the vendor that sets these out on release has mistakenly entered a wrong price into WM computers. I will price scan the other products when I get a chance at my next visit.

I noticed the same thing on Friday and asked the CSM on duty about it. She said that all MTG Boosters in all Wal-Marts are currently on rollback and are $3.33. She said it usually takes a bit to update the pricing tags, but the 3.33 price is correct. I went ahead and bought 10 boosters. Pulled a Search for Azcanta, and the new Vraska.

Hey thanks for the information. Its nice to see a drop in prices on anything anymore. Good way to move product. I will do a price check on the other boosters as well. I'll take a 20% price reduction any day.

Just to follow up it does indeed only seem to be individual packs of whatever they have. I took a Bundle Pack to the self scanners and it registered the same price as listed on the SKU/rack.
Looks like its time for some loose pack purchases.
