In the actual stores(at least mine), all Movie figures are 11.99 and Generations are 12.99. Makes sense that the website would follow suit(unless they're not following across the board, then I have no idea what's going on).

I don't trust Kmart.com personally, with that whole HA Mudflap thing that was happening for a bit. I can wait till TRU has them online.

HA Mudflap thing? What happened?

99% of the people that ordered HA Mudflap from Kmart.com had their orders canceled or were sent a random HA figure that wasn't Mudflap.

Someone ask me how I really feel about K-Mart. Then, stop me and ask me not to use words like, "Cyber-AIDS" to describe them.

I'm betting everyone gets nothing, or Mudflaps.

I took a gamble since most of these should be coming out in the next month anyways. Kmart was the first big box store alongside Toys R Us to get HFTD and PCC so it could be entirely possible that they could be getting all of this stuff first as well. Or I could be dreamin'!

I'll let all of you know what I end up with. Their website says my order should arrive next Wednesday which puts 8 days closer to these things showing up at other stores.

Best case scenario: I get them sooner than they say I will, which always happens with my orders from big box stores. They arrive in time so that I can cancel my pre-orders at BBTS on a bunch of this stuff.

Worst case scenario #1: I get an email saying that none of the items were available. Not really the worst case scenario since I have all of that stuff on order at BBTS.

Worst case scenario #2: I get the entire order but before it arrives ... a bunch of this stuff arrives at BBTS and I end up with doubles of all of this stuff which I have to eBay.

Worst case scenario #3: I get my order, but it's not what I ordered and have to return it all to my local kmart.

Great news if this turns out to be the real deal. I wish everyone luck with their orders

. I hope this means that the new waves are finally getting out there now and other stores will be getting them too (especially WFC Soundwave). Sigh...I feel like my whole TF collecting life is just passing me by at this rate. Already signs of wave 2 and I still have yet to see Wave 1 of pretty much anything lol!

Kmart's processing the charges on my account which is a good promising sign. Generally the big box stores only charge your card if the items are in stock and are about to ship.

** Keeps fingers crossed **

Placed my order earlier today and just now I received an email from K-Mart.com: (Oh btw, as of the time I received this email both items are still listed as "in stock" on the website)

Well I am glad that I didn't jump the gun and order a whole bunch of them last night. I still hope those who ordered do get them though.

News Credits: 3599 · by **Seibertron** » Tue Aug 10, 2010 1:49 pm

Interesting that I still have not received a cancellation email yet and they are processing the fees on my account. I ordered them yesterday afternoon around this time.

by **IceWilly** » Tue Aug 10, 2010 3:24 pm

My order got cancelled as well.

Additionally, the Item numbers I used matched up with Seib's item numbers... very confusing.

IE

my order red alert: Item #: 004W433947310033

The items are still listed on the website, with the same number.

Oh well, I suppose I'll get back to waiting. This jostle did let me decide I didn't want WFC soundwave though

When did you place your order? Mine is still listed as active and has not been canceled yet.

by **IceWilly** » Tue Aug 10, 2010 3:42 pm

Today, roughly 1am EST. (last night really)

Hm ... that's the only thing I can think of. I placed my order at 1pm Central yesterday so 11 hours before your order. Maybe they only had a limited supply? I'm still holding onto hope that my order is good though I know the numbers are incorrect and all that. Doesn't hurt to have hope! We'll see.

WTF does Cyber-AIDSmart even put this s*** on thier site? Better question, WTF can you place the same gahdamn order 30 seconds after they cancel it? Mix in an out of stock banner or something. Whatta s***hole!

by **Soundwave__Superior** » Wed Aug 11, 2010 5:41 am

Well slag. I placed my order like around 5:00pm CST yesterday. Interestingly enough no cancellation order, and it was still in stock on the site. All I got was 1 WFC Soundwave, so maybe that's why.

K-marts shipping is crazy, be careful not to step in the bullslag. It said anywhere from 8/12 to 8/16 for standard shipping, which is what I got. Now it says on the order confirmation when I get him it will be on the 19th.

At least it's better than waiting for October.

Wow. For a second, I thought that Soundwave thumbnail was a more G1-accurate repaint of the Cybertron Soundwave mold for the Generations line. I was about to say, isn't that kind of pointless? I guess I'm just not familiar enough with the War for Cybertron designs (still haven't played the game) yet to recognize them on sight (besides Megs, obviously). As for the post, though - can't wait to get my grubby little paws on Hailstorm. Red Alert is up there, too, but Hailstorm just has dem missiles.

I also remember being told a while back that K-Mart was teaching their employees to watch out for scalpers. And they were even told to give lectures to people who would buy TFs in bulk.
Inevitably, this just taught more of their own employees how to scalp themselves, and they frequently have sporadic Transformers stocks anymore.

Not sure how much of that is true though. :-?

Heads up. I just received an email canceling my order for the new Generation figures (Megs,Soundwave, Darkmount, Red Alert). I spoke with customer service and they told me reason that it was canceled was that they had run out of stock on these items.

This should be interesting to see what I actually get now ...

I doubt any of this is true. I can't imagine K-Mart of all of the big box stores teaching their employees about so-called scalpers. If anything, you'd think K-Mart would welcome them so that they could actually move some of their inventory.
