‘The Wolverine’ at Walmart for $3.96, not so fast

Kind if comic book related, a great flip if it worker out. Walmart had advertised ‘The Wolverine’ on Blu-ray for $3.96 on Thanksgiving evening. However, they used the wrong picture.

No copies appeared on eBay and a search on Google turned up nothing. This could be one of those books that heats up and everyone is looking for.
