I was recently at Walmart in my town (Pocatello) and I was somewhat annoyed to notice that they had almost literally no stock of Transformers left. The problem is, they haven't got a new shipment since late November. Now all that's left are about 15 legends Stealth Bumblebees, 5 deluxe Bumbebees, 1 Ratchet, and a couple of each Leaders.

I just wanted to see if any other stores had similar stocking problems.

Both my local Walmart have racks that are literally overflowing with DOTM Deluxes, and plenty of all the other classes as well, and no sign of any Prime RID figs.

The situation at my local Targets and TRU are the opposite of Walmart: they have had empty shelves and empty racks for weeks now (TRU even resorted to using TF t-shirts and costumes to fill in the empty spaces), but a few Prime RID figs have shown up from time to time, and TRU looks like they're getting ready to stock a bunch of RID Primes any day now.

Walmart has built themselves up to be the go to store and now can't be relied on. They have a growing problem with their "You buy what we want you to buy" attitude.

I think you need to find more places to shop.

Sorry, I was just checking the shopping ventures in Pocatello, I guess the Shoe Carnival won't have any of the items you would be looking for. I suggest moving or opening your own hobby store.

Noticed there is a Big Lots and Kmart, they might have something

I checked K-Mart not too long ago, and they had nothing new, but they did at least have stock. Eh, at least this town's getting a Target soon as far as I've heard, so it should get better.
Oh, and another note, as for Rescue Bots there, they only have one Heatwave and a few of the fire station playsets. So they're even lacking in them. :BANG_HEAD:

The Walmart I work at has bare bones toy racks in the TF section. Been that way since Christmas. I'm guessing they're waiting for the Movie Trilogy and Prime lines. They had a few sparing Mudflaps and DotM deluxes, as well as about 6 Generations Skullgrins.

Movie Trilogy figures were canceled for the U.S.

I know this is off topic, but those were cancelled as well? I though only the main line DOTM toys were cancelled. Must of missed that info.

The TF racks at my Walmart have been half empty for a week or two now. They have over flowing pegs of deluxe classes and a few voyagers and far too many Leaders, but practically none of the legion & commander class and HA figures. Kinda hoping that's a sign the Prime figures are on their way.

My Target was all but bare for a while too, but last week they put out a dozen or so Prime deluxes. Shelves are still pretty bare though.

Went to Walmart and K-Mart yesterday, still nothing at Walmart, but K-Mart did have Prime Masks, and it sounds like they're getting Prime and Bot Shots Friday, so that make s me happy.

My local Walmarts have nothing but tons of the deluxe exclusive Optimus, lots of the exclusive Roadbuster repaint, and even more of the second exclusive Prime. Barely any cyberverse, HA, or commander figures. Couple leaders.

You should be really glad you're getting a Target. Mine is always the first to get new figures, they don't overload the pegs with a single wave like Walmart does, and you can take the DPCIs in and sometimes get the new figures in the back. Already got most of Wave 1 Prime figures that way. :grin:
