I know it's nothing too exciting, but i figured it should go in the rumor thread. I didn't think 9th went on sale till friday, but the walmart down the street from me had them when I was there tonite. I picked up a fat pack and 3 boosters. Didn't get anything tooo spectacular. Only things worth mentioning are the Hyppie, a foil Bloodfire Colossus, and the oversize Force of Nature. The collector boxes that come with the fat pack are pretty nifty too.
Jace on the other hand gives you card advantage for no life cost. On the contrary, Jace can actually take some damage for you. I'd think that makes him better than Arena.
How much was a Fat Pack? And isn't that against the law to release products early?

Dunno if its illegal but Wizards definately shuns on that.
Street Release: July 29th.
On a side note: Make sure ur cards are not counterfeit cause early releases could be signs of that.

RnD during Time Spiral:
Rosewater: "Color Pie, WTF is that, If I want Black to be able to wrath, counter and have green creatures then I will damnit!"
Random RnD guy: "RED AKORMA! FTW!"
Gleemax: "Rosewater has broken out of my mind control!"
RnD after 2008:
MaRo: Hmm how do we fix the problems of pricing with cards like Tarmogoyf and Thoughtsieze
Random RnD Guy: OO lets make a new RED RARITY SYMBOL!
MARO: OMGWTFBBQ! Thats a great idea, we'll call it Mythic Rarity!

To the thread starter, where do you live? Just curious which Wal-Mart it is, and if anybody else can go to their local Wal-Mart and check if they are selling 9E product, that would be cool.

I have to go to Wallyworld later tonight, I'll check for it.
And buy a box if it's there.

Hey all... I'm retired, not dead. Check out what I'm doing these days (and beg me to come back if you want):
the fat pack was $30, which is prolly overpriced, but it was still cool. and yeah, they could probably get in trouble for it. funny thing is, i'm not the first to get em. There were a few of the precons gone already. Now lets see if i can get a picture in here... it may come out huge... it may not come out at all... bear with me...
Oh, and I'm in Schenectady, NY. The one I went to was in Glenville, across the river.
And also, just noticed... the dividers that come with the fat pack for the boxes all have pictures from John Avon lands, except the artifact one, which is the new Icy picture. Didnt' know if y'all new that yet, but I think it's great. Much love for Mr. Avon.
its not against the law if they shipped the product early, and besides, they are wall mart, who could sue them?
This is what I was thinking. Other than the Order of the Skull & Bones, the Council on Foreign Relations, the Trilateral Commission and the Bilderbergs, Wal-Mart is the most powerful organization in the world.
Also, I REALLY don't think Wal-Mart would be selling counterfeit product. There's no way, ever.

But, if they didn't ship them early, they wouldn't be sure to have them on sale on the street date. Look at the Harry Potter books. Most bookstores had them at least a week before the release, but were required to have them locked up till the day they went on sale. And the two stores that "accidentally" sold some beforehand got in BIG trouble.

the olny thing not overprivced at wal mart was the precon with jitte in it. now they are all gone ='(
I must be lucky with walmarts. The other walmart near me still has a healthy collection of the rat precons (at least 5 or 6)
the thing about this is that walmart dont care what your release date is on non electronic products. they release yugi and Vs early aslo and the companys cant really do much.

hmmm 30$ for a fatpack? as the packs are almost worth 24 in the first place it becomes if i want to pay 6$ for the die/land?/box divider thingys/FoN promo/ and boxes....might still be worth it...i hope i can pick one up for 25...
EDIT: even if wal-mart did this widespread do you really think that hasbro could sue them for enough to take them down at all?? 3/5 richest people in USA are in the wal-mart family...the other two started microsoft...

if you are ever being chased by a police dog, try not to run through a tunnel, then over a little see-saw, then jump through a ring of fire. theyre trained for that
If wal-mart wasn't an evil company I would go buy some precons and give you guys the deck lists but as the saying goes "friends don't let friends shop at wal-mart". I refuse to buy anything from wal-mart and many of the posters in this thread have already given some good causes as to why.

People are products of their own ingenuity; they are who they choose to be.
do you also not like netdeckers too? THings that have too much power are great, you can abuse that power and get the things you want before everyone else. Ie. winning for netdeckers

It's safe to buy from Walmart, ONLY before the release date, since their contracts with their suppliers specify that they have to pay a $10 penalty for each item sold before the release date.

So, if you're near a walmart, check it out.
Meh, oh well.

@magicmaster: i agree, who can sue walmart and win, unless they like murder over 14,029 small children.
