I have not seen it at Walmart but I have seen it at Sears. It is in their Christmas decorations department. As I recall, about 2 weeks ago it was on sale at Sears for about $89.95. They also had the carousel mentioned. The manufacturer is Mr. Christmas. You cannot miss it. Now that Halloween is over, everyone has a big Christmas display so maybe some other places will carry it also. But don't buy it from H & S for $129.95. Last year the Musical Santa's Workshop which also works on the paper roll mechanism sold for $99.95. A couple weeks after Christmas Sears was selling them off for half price. Of course by waiting you might miss getting one if you want it but the point is that there is price leverage to be had on these things.
