Just ordered devastator again, had plenty in stock! refreshed the page to see how quickly it would sell out, it took a few tries for it to simply say out of stock. I am hoping this time I will receive him!

My Hot Rod ran into the shipped/ non shipped ether for a while, 2 weeks ago. Got it straightened out with Customer Service. I have a Swerve on delayed order, its been 2 weeks now. SScream was ordered a week and change after Swerve and is shipping to my house within a day or 2. None of this makes sense but i shouldn't be surprised.
@nysPrime; i checked the link before you posted and immediately after; nada left, again....

Sorry tri. You should use nowinstock.net. I got the alert earlier and ordered one at 10:05am. I was slow in posting it here but it was still up right before I submitted.

So I posted yesterday about being one of the first to preorder Devastator (my email is also referenced in the news item). Devastator was canceled yesterday but after reading other people's stories I signed up with Nowinstock.com and got the notification this morning that Devastator is in stock. So I've ordered him once again. I guess we'll see?

This is not unheard by Walmart standards, by the way. They took a ton of preorders awhile back for the SNES Classic Edition and infamously canceled them all. When I say this is typical Walmart service, I really mean it. I've also written an email to Hasbro customer support asking them to please deal with a better retailer for exclusives in the future. Can't hurt.

Save yourself from hitting F5 all day. Plus, it went in stock yesterday morning and this morning. Might be a morning thing. Use this instead:

So I just got a second "order Delayed" email from Walfart in regards to my Starscream order.
But it states the new delivery estimate (to a store location) for the Fri. the 31st.

We'll see what happens. Either it will coe through or the next thing is cancelation.

Fingers crossed.

I just got that e-mail too. Crap, I thought I was safe. Hopefully things work out.

Was notified that my Swerve is on back order and that Walmart said they have until august 31st to find one before they cancel my order for him. My bumblebee and devastator are safe for now, but I am so nervous!

Received the same email for Tailgate and Outback. But I have 4 SS on the way and Devy shipped not long ago. Everything else in limbo.

That's good you are getting some of your transformers! I hope you get your Tailgate and Outback, I haven't been able to get the chance to order those two yet.

Lots of people at other tf fan sites are reporting their minibot orders being cancelled

Literally just got Bee cancelled. Walmart is the absolute worst for exclusives.

Walmart is THE WORST online place to order your toys. Don’t know how many of my orders they messed over the years. Haven’t ordered anything from them the last few years

They fired you for having a heat stroke? That's harsh and a really rubbish reason to get rid of you.

So at least in my case, the orders are shipping. Walmart has been shipping all my late orders overnight and interestingly from Canada. So they are at least trying to make good. I have 2 Starscreams arriving today(I’m returning one as I ordered it when I thought my first was cancelled.) and Bumblebee will arrive tomorrow. Dunno about the other mini bots I ordered. So will see.

Just got an email from WM that my BUMBLEBEE and my TAILGATE shipped so it looks like it's sporadic which ones they have and don't.

Are you sure they are shipping from Canada and not from their shipping centre located in Ontario, California (CA)?
