I went to two different Wal-Marts here in Vegas.
No Stoutarms and no special Jaya packs, either.
I honestly wouldn't mind getting both promos for some EDH sexiness...
I'm trying two more today...

I just got back from Wal-Mart and got one of these that had a Lorwyn, Guildpact, and Saviors pack in it with a Brion promo. I got a Primal Command, Iizuka the Ruthless, and a foil Steam Vents from them, so the Vents and Command made it well worth it.
Quick question; have these "Brion Stoutarm Packages" had the Brion facing outward, like Jaya was? My local Meijer's has stocked some more of the Jaya ones, as well as a few that have the same packaging, but a card with the back showing instead. Are these the Brion packs? I don't want to grab one and find out it's a crappy old Arena foil or something... >_<

I just picked one up the other night. Brion was facing inwards in the package i got. Unfortunately for me he was the best card in the pack.
Following up on what I posted a few days ago, I went to Meijers and they had two of these packs. The card was facing in and I couldn't see what it was, and I didn't want to get stuck with another Jaya Ballard, so I tried moving the package around to see it and I managed to see the gold border so I bought it.
It had, Dissention, Saviors of Kamigawa, and Mirrodin packs in it. I got Grand Arbiter Augustin IV, Erayo's Essence, and Vedalken Archmage to go with the promo Brion. Nothing special but I collect promos so it was worth it in my eyes.

I'm bad at magic, you're bad at magic, and Level 4 Pro Ari Lax is terrible at magic.
Step 1: Gather all the crappiest cards from the collections of any Wal-Mart employees who are willing to part with them for a few bucks.
Step 2: Search your overstock for any extra booster packs you figured would never sell.
Step 3: Find a shiney card to advertise (and by advertise I mean "bait and hook") your product that every Timmy will want a playset of.
Step 4: Make sure you use some less-cool-than-normal foiling style to make the card feel increasingly depressing after the buyer holds it in their hands for over 5 minutes.
Step 5: Put all this into the lamest packaging you can think of, something that screams, "Hang yourself".
Step 6: Slap a price tag on there about half what you think they'd reasonably buy it for, because hell, we're Wal-Mart, we can do whatever the hell we want, even if it means driving all independent retailers under!
Step 7: Put the product in an easy-to-steal location. That's the best way to generate product interest at Wal-Mart, and when our competitors go out of business because they can't give product away for "free", we'll be free to price it whatever we see fit!
I despise Wal-Mart, can you tell? Every time I go there I bring a large Sharpie with me and do my own "price adjustments", like writing "Free with purchase of toaster and any DVD movie!" on some random product like a refrigerator.
No Stoutarms and no special Jaya packs, either.

I just picked one up the other night. Brion was facing inwards in the package i got. Unfortunately for me he was the best card in the pack.
Packs were Lorwyn, Saviors, and Guildpact
It had, Dissention, Saviors of Kamigawa, and Mirrodin packs in it. I got Grand Arbiter Augustin IV, Erayo's Essence, and Vedalken Archmage to go with the promo Brion. Nothing special but I collect promos so it was worth it in my eyes.
