While the Transformers One line has been trickling in at Target, Walmarts in the US have been slower. Their exclusives have been found though, including the Quintesson toy and this Optimus desk toy which does not transform but goes from Orion Pax to Optimus Prime by changing its head and chest. The toy has been found in the US and Canada for weeks now but if you've been avoiding it and are still curious about what exactly it is, Chuck made a review of the toy which we posted below.

Purchased a few of the new figures but also picked up this miss pack of Sentinel Prime in an Optimus Prime box. Anyone know if this is a common mistake going around??

With toy swapping being a common practice, it’s more probable its a swap than a packing mistake

While Target had most of the Transformers One toys earlier than other retailers, Walmart is rolling out display areas for the Toyline. They have toys we’ve already covered, like the well received Prime Changers, but also the second set of Cog Changers (One Steps) along with the cube battle toys.

The images below are from Daimo, and show a Walmart in Virginia.

Thank you for responding :) The only reason I ask is that the box does not look like it was tampered with at all. The box is clean with no signs of being opened and the tape seal looks like it has never been removed. It's clean and identical in placement to the other figures I bought.
If it is a swap, oh well, still a really cool figure!! Thanks again!

And, in a few months, all this garbage will be available at Ollie's, Big Lots or Dollar General. :lol:

Only thing I've seen at my local Walmart is the big $15 Bumblebee. At least they finally moved all of the ROTB stuff to clearance and updated the pegs for the fall reset.

I'll bet this holiday season. You might ask why not last year and that was because the toys were still sort of new and stores were figuring they might get sales.

If you get an update email and don't come to the thread it'll assume you aren't interested and stop sending them. Or at least that's been my experience, but I just look for the red icons to tell me there's been a post and click on the orange icon next to it to be taken to the most recent post since my last visit, I rarely check my email for them.

Everything is normal, even in my profile. I just never get emails from that thread. I wonder if I clicked something wrong and there's no going back? :-?

Man, Transformers day was a bust. It's hosted on Walmart.com which is really strange, it's just a QVC style show with them trying to sell stuff on the store. Started most with Three Zero stuff which is fine (it's hosted by their US president so that's no surprise) and a few One figures from them and Hasbro that are already in stores, but then randomly started talking about ROTB and Earthspark stuff that's long since been on clearance. The "big reveal" they teased through the show is a Bumblebee movie DLX Optimus Prime which I guess is going to be available for only a week on Walmart.com and then sold at other events later on.

So yeah, no new reveals, not worth watching. If you wonder the reason why today is Transformers day it's because Walmart apparently said so.

September 17 is when the first episode of the G1 cartoon premiered back in 1984.

Well, I personally was complaining it ought to have been on May 8, which was the true 40th anniversary of the brand as a whole.

So, I have a bunch of new stuff TFOne toyline related, get ready.

first up, I got Alpha Trion and the Quintesson. Quintesson is alright, and B is fantastic. I wish his ankle tilts actually worked and that area was cleaned up some, but he is really nice. I think B may be my favorite of the 5 Prime Changers

Image
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image

I also got the big energon glow Optimus. And I have to say, he is really really fun. I love the translucent parts, and he is basically fully posable, which is impressive. He is just really fun, I would recommend trying him out

Image
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image

My daughter also loves him

Image

Alpha Trion is also a really fun toy

Image
Image
Image
Image

And finally, I got the takara leader figure. He is pretty nice, though there are a couple things that bug me with him. The face sculpt feels off somehow, and I don't like how small the feet are and how limited the ankles are. Other than that, he is pretty nice, especially the truck mode.

You mean wave 3 which I don't believe we've heard anything about if it happens at all.

Yeah, and literally just those four, the Quintesson High Commander is a "Warrior class" figures because I guess only Autobots can be Prime Changers, which would possibly have disqualified Starscream anyway. Gotta love manufactured hair splitting.

But not everywhere, it was sort of a tossup if a store got both or just one. My local Target only got wave 1, my local Walmart only got Bumblebee as part of the big aisle display (with Optimus, AT and the Quint), I've yet to see a Sentinel at retail, got mine from Amazon.

I made a custom with the deluxe High Commander.

Here it is, "in box" with a brand new one:

Been messing around with the Takara Prime some more, and it really is a bummer the shoulders suck and his ankles didn't move more, otherwise he would really be nigh perfect

Image

Also pretty incredible how the mainline Prime ended up being the best one
