Walmart Super Bowl commercial
- Thread starter kitik

That was really cute! Was kinda hoping to see someone from the Enterprise, but, alas..... At least we saw the ship. Still, very cute commercial.
That was pretty awesome...good job on that one
wut?
The trailer showing the Discoprise. That implies that you could get merch for it.
wut?
What do you not understand?
???
This is not a commercial for "what you can buy at Walmart". There are all sorts of characters in that commercial that don't have merchandise available at Walmart.
That said though, some Pop figures for Michael and Saru just got announced, so they could be showing up at Walmart and other retailers in a few months.

Demand expression powers for Walmart activated!
I enjoyed that, btw.

You can buy a Disco Enterprise through Eaglemoss. But I do agree with others. This commercial has nothing to do with the merchandise you can buy for these franchises at WalMart or elsewhere. It’s using licensing of these famous genre characters/ships in order to try to sell WalMart’s drive-up service. It’s pretty straightforward.
?!?
I'm waiting for all that sweet Arrival merch.
Are you sure it was that one? Maybe a DVD release soon?

I am pretty sure it just boils down to the $5 DVD bin
No wonder Wal-Mart's pay is so shitty, they spend all their money getting rights for these commercials.
I worked at Wal-Mart up to April of last year, and they only have merch, other than DVDs/Blu-Rays, for Lego, Star Wars, Marvel and DC.
And yet, Walmart is currently selling an "exclusive" walking, talking, illuminated Robby the Robot (in stores, mind you). Sweet, but a bit "out of the blue". I mean, there's not any kind of remake about to hit theaters and the movie itself is not quite 64 years old, not a nice round anniversary number that can be divided by 5.
Having the toy in hand, I half expected to see Robby in his "car" from the movie racing to the curbside to retrieve his items, but I will admit that might have been too obscure a reference.

$5 million for every 30 seconds of airtime for a commercial (on top of the costs of making it) involved? Yet people complain when prices get higher at the store for all that sweet juicy "merch"* like big bobblehead caricatured things that will end up in a landfill leaking "forever chemicals" in a couple decades... or that's what sci-fi is otherwise telling us nowadays? It's hard to keep up from what every scriptwriter is trying to claim...
* it's not 1982 anymore, or if nothing else when will Moon Unit Zappa do a sequel to "Valley Girl"?

Love that commercial!
Found this week at "Zing! Pop Culture", Down Under: the "Pop" figures Michael Burnham and Saru of "Star Trek: Discovery". Doug Jones actually now has two "Pop" figures. He was also the amphibious man in "The Shape of Water".
