Wal-Mart Picks Top Holiday Toys With New Incentive: Price
BENTONVILLE, Ark., Oct. 1, 2007 -- With its annual list of the "Top 12 Toys of Christmas," Wal-Mart announced today an added incentive for early holiday shopping -- numerous, deep rollbacks on what the retailer considers to be the items on wish lists this year. Starting this week, Wal-Mart will announce rollbacks each week in this aggressive move to lead the market on holiday savings.
"Fulfilling her child's wish list is always first in Mom's mind, and right now she's scouting the aisles to see what's interesting, and what's affordable," said Chief Toy Officer Laura Phillips, Wal-Mart. "So we're starting early and aggressively with unbeatable prices on the items we know are on those lists."
This week, customers will begin to see price reductions from 10 to 50 percent on select toys. Select rollbacks to start include*:

"These items and our top 12 have our vote for the most interest, because we believe they meet all the right trends in activity, brand, play interaction, and technology which both parents and kids are after today," said Phillips. "It's now our turn to bring out their value, adding a great price to the hottest trends."
