What's Going on with Walmart?

I've visited 6 locations in my area, plus 2 occasional locations out of town in the past couple of months, and the transformers section is bare as can be. They haven't even bothered in restocking any of the current waves out. Is anyone else experiencing this too? I remember Walmart always being the first place to go to for my transformers, unless I'm hunting a Target or TRU exclusive, of course. Now it's the last place for me to check. Can anyone fill me in on what's going on?

I think they're waiting for Black friday to clear things out before they stock new stuff.

Noticed that around me to. Their stock has been rather pathetic this year. Most of the PRID nad Bot Shot figures I own came from Target.

The walmarts here have plenty of PRID and Prime cyberverse, but suck anyway because A LOT of it is not properly scanned into inventory so isnt able to be sold :P

That's the funny thing with these walmarts around here- there aren't even any bumblebees on the shelf, well with one exception- a lonely powerizer sitting there.

Same here. The only two deluxes (as of yesterday) at my Walmart are Vehicon and Ratchet, lol. Meanwhile, 200 feet away, Target has a very well-stocked section, sporting plenty of...whatever wave had Hot Shot. =_=

Oh, and two whole pegs of FoC Prime and Jazz. :lol:
