Minimag LED release date

[hiluxxulih]

I think Wamart employees are like employees of any other company they are kept in the dark . I doubt there is anyway for a Walmart emloyee to see the shipping status of any of there out of stock products.

I am going to say August 15 for a release date , just because the brightguy.com site says so , so now I can stop going into Wamart like a lemming.

I saw some of the 3 watt led maglites at Home Depot in Columbia SC today. They also had the LED bulb replacements for around $15.

LED bulb replacements?
for the D cell mags right.

I dont think there is a replacement from Maglite for the minimags?

The Wally Worlds in Charlotte NC have also put up the prices for the mini mag leds. Also it seems they have increased the amount of Mag led and conversions on hand, along with finally seperating the conversions by cell number.

The 3 watt replacement LED bulbs that were at Home Depot were for 2 cell and 4 cell lights I think they were for either C or D size. A guy i work with brought his in today, he has an older 2 C cell maglite and after i ponted him to a review of the replacement bulbs he went last night and got one and brought it in today, man that thing is bright. They had some led pgrades for the mini mags but the were not the 3 watt ones. The 2 Cell 3 watt maglite (whole flashlight with the 3 watt LED bulb already in it) at Home Depot was around $28 i think (they had other sizes also but i was looking at the 2 D cell ones), i also saw the same lights at Sears last night but for about $10 more, but Sears did not have any of the 3 watt LED replacemnt (upgrade) bulbs.

our wal-mart in kentucky has the blank pegs for the mini mags but there is a inventory card on the peg with a stock date of 8-11-06

my walmart has spots for them also, now the real ? is, what are all getting, the two cell or three cell..................cause you know you want one..................

My local Augusta Walmarts (both Super and regular sized) has empty pegs for them. I talked to the department managers and they did an inventory scan and they said that they had about 18 on order for each color and style (2AA, 3AA). They said that when it indicates on order, then they expect them to be there within 5 days.

Sorry, but the first thing that came to my mind when I saw the portion quoted below was that Wal*Marts generally also house a small McDonald's in their stores :lolsign:

Knowing my addiction to stupid flashlights, I'll end up buying both, in both colors probably too.

Supersized Walmarts...yeah, I think there are even more sizes:

Small - normal Walmarts in small hick towns (no offense, we were once a small hick town)

Medium - Walmarts with a small grocery section and the regular Walmart, but no automotive work done onsite (see them in Florida), and sometimes smaller sized garden centers.

Large - Your normal Supercenter with grocery, auto, garden, and regular stuff.

Supersize - Super Duper Walmarts with grocery, auto, regular stuff, garden center, pet center, gas station, doctor's offices - eye, dental, walk-in clinic, hair and nails shops, sign shops, bank, and a Sam's Club next door.

This will be my last post on this subject so that we don't take thread this way off topic.

San Jose is no hick town, well maybe not much of one, but it's the 3rd largest city in California with a population of about one million people. We have one "Small" and one "Medium" Wal*Mart, with other small and medium ones in neighboring communities. The closest Supercenter is about 30 miles away in Gilroy (of garlic fame)

Actually I think you'll find more supercenters in the more rural areas, and the small ones in the lower socio-economic areas of more urbanized communities since the land cost is going to be higher in larger cities.

And the closest Sam's is about 40 miles away, with the next closest one close to being 100 miles away.

I haven't been into my two "local" Walmarts to check as I am

And as to regular and supersize, I only know of one Walmart less than Supercenter and it is in (brain fart), a small town east of Lufkin. The last Houston area store (Highlands) that wasn't Super is now across the road from the Super, EMPTY!

 

[700club]

My Walmart will have the 2 AA version in 2 weeks.

 

[PlayboyJoeShmoe]

Spotted another small Walmart in Edna, TX. Was not able to stop there however!

Will check a Walmart or two on Sunday when I go to Houston for a Gunshow (and to meet up with my best friend!).

 

[PlayboyJoeShmoe]

Ohh Ohh!!!

I see the hangers for 2AA and 3AA LED Minim*gs at Walmart in Porter, TX...

But there are also hangers for rechargable LEDs???? WTF????

 

[Brighteyez]

Don't get too excited, that might be for one of those 'emergency' lights that plugs into the wall. I saw a few of those at Wal*Mart today.

But there are also hangers for rechargable LEDs???? WTF????

 

[PlayboyJoeShmoe]

Come to think of it, you are probably correct.

I have one already plugged in in my room. It hacks me off A: because it has a moonbeam, and B: the led in it is off center a bit from the moon lense!

Otherwise there ain't nothing wrong with it LOL!

How can they really expect to have empty hooks for these for two weeks? These almost have to be showing up shortly. As a person with quite a few years in sales, I gotta tell ya, it's all a game of real estate. Nobody has a policy of keeping sales space open for two weeks because even those few square inches are a bit of expensive cost overhead. We might be seeing these within a few days or else we'll probably see the spaces filled in with something else until they arrive.
