This is bogus. Took my kids to the Walmart in Springfield Or that it says is participating in this event, and they know nothing about it. My kids are so disappointed. Thanks for the lies.

That’s interesting, I had the opposite happen to me. Target had no clue and nothing setup whereas the Walmart I went to did.

i called corporate office because neither of my local walmarts knew anything about it. Corporate confirmed they should have been giving out a promo card and a movie poster. I am waiting to hear back from the senior manager from my local walmart

We had a similar situation happen. I took my son 30 mins to the location labeled as participating, and there was a lady with a table set up near electronics and there was some Detective Pikachu merchandise on the table, but she said she worked for a third-party onlinepany and never received any of the promo stuff to giveaway. So disappointing.

The stores listed as participating don’t have the promotional items. We went to a participating location, and an older woman was there with a table full of Pokemon merchandise for sale, but she said the store never received the stuff to give away. Apparently that’s been happening at a lot of the locations that were supposed to be participating — not the fault of Hip2Save but Walmart’s fault for dropping the ball on this one.

Walmart has supposedly threw away the promo cards and poster because they didn’t know what they were for

did the event at target, it was nicely set up with no confusion. Walmart was a headache. nobody knew anything was going on after asking multiple employees. said they weren’t participating and I walked around myself to find the booth.
