Ugh, my Walmart... only CW were a lonely Pipes hangning all by it's lonesome on a peg and a couple of Onslaught and Scattershots. No deluxes.

RID, some of the junky gimmick stuff I don't pay attention to, then for "warriors" a couple of pegs stuffed to capacity with Grimlock and Bumblebee. Not the redeco versions, the ones that have been around since the line started. Pathetic. Might have been some Sideswipes too, I just really remember the yellow and green menaces. Nothing remotely recent.

I was in some toystore in the mall, I forget the name, but I don't think it's a chain, anyway, they had Blackjack, Rodimus, Groove (legend), Warpath, Scattorshot, and in a real surprise Wheeljack. I was going to buy Wheeljack until I found the price tag, twenty bucks. Nah, I didn't want Wheeljack that bad. Anyway, they had a total of one of each of those figures.

They also had a bunch of AOE stuff I didn't pay much attention to, and really oddly, they still had a Generations Roadbuster.

Ha! I found Generations Rhinox at TRU today. He was just chilling there.

The only place that sells a good number of Transforers in my area (Whitehaven, England) is Tesco, they have the fifth wave of Robots in Disguise Warriors (Megatronus, Fracture, Night Strike Bumblebee and Blizzard Strike Optimus Prime) and One-Step Changers (Bumblebee, Sideswipe, Quillfire and Springload) as well as Mini-Con Deployers Drift and Fracture (never seen Overload). Combiner Wars figures have never been sold in my town, and all the Thrilling 30 Voyagers my local B&M Bargains store did have are long gone. All they have left are the Age of Extinction Power Battlers (Hound, Scorn, Bumblebee, Strafe, Crosshairs and Drift). So sadly the well has run dry here.

I was referring to the TF "section".

Didn't stop me from buying Lego Dimension Dr Who though.

I think I heard the words "kill me" coming from my walmart's TF section

My Target's actually out of CW now (save Leader Skywarp), without even putting any on sale or anything. Granted, for months now it's been just a few of each size class (i.e. 3 Grooves, 2 Mirages, an Ironhide, some Motormasters), but still. Guess no pre-reset clearance prices for them.

I almost wish Hasbro would just put the entire brand on hiatus for a while, rather than have to put up with these pathetic sad store displays.

It is pathetic, this is the state of one of my walmarts today. Its like the TFs are being attacked from all angles by competing brands.

Although this isnt hasbro's doing. All their stuff has shipped to these stores, its that the warehouses of walmart and the like have a bunch still and they are trinkling them out to not overstuff the inventory in the actual stores. At least thats what I think.

While Walmart makes me sad, my toysrus is looking sooooo good with its box sets!

Lets zoom out a bit

Target today had several Combaticon limbs, but they were all Brawl and Swindle, no Vortex or Blastoff in sight. Also had leader Starscream and Skywarp, voyager Onslaught and Scattershot, and a lot of legends classes, even had a Wreckgar. They had a bunch of Bombshells, and also several Warpaths, I forget what all else, only the Wreckgar (first time I'd seen one) and Bombshells (were they hidden in the back somewhere?) really stuck out in my mind.

Across the street TRU had all the Skylynx limbs except Hound, and a single solitary TR figure, a lone Skullsmasher which is now mine.

I have never seen Wheeljack or Smokescreen in store. I am sure they will come later, once the Titans Return figures are there.

Yeah, the Trailbreaker's went flying, and then the Hounds went, but Jackie and Smoke just won't move

I'm glad some of my Toys R Uses are getting Titan Wars stuff.

I've never seen Buzzsaw, but it's such a terrible toy IMO that I don't really care about that one.

He is not better or worse than any other legends class toy. He looks good in bird mode and can interact with the blastwave leaders. His third mode can be totally ignored.
