BENTONVILLE, Ark., Nov 02, 2009 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- WMT | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- From licensed toys to active-play items, Walmart (NYSE: WMT | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating) announced today 100 additional toy Rollbacks in its intent to help families save more this holiday season. This week in all stores and online at Walmart.com (www.walmart.com), the prices of more than 100 toys will be rolled back, many at an additional 20% and 30% savings, and will last through the Christmas shopping period.
