Immortal Starscream wrote:my walmart finaly restocked!!!! an it was the largest restock i have ever seen

theres like now
50 dvd primes
20 cybertron primus (no head)
5 cases worth of end of the line cybertron
3 cases of classics voyager prime and jetfire
5 cases of titanium rodimus and others
2 cases of classics wave one
and 3 cases of protoforms

OMGWTF?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

talked to the lady in charge, and she said this:

were not getting anymore of the new stuff untill we clear this old stuff. dont worry, it will clear out fast, kids are buying up those transformers stuff.
IDIOT KIDS ONLY WANT WHATS IN THE MOVIE!!!

This is exactly what I found at a Walmart in San Diego, plus it looks like the Toys R Us' around here are doing the same thing. Good for those who missed out on Classics, also saw plenty of Alternators too.

I just found 08' BB and Recon Barricade at the Walmart in Syrucuse, UT. They had TONS of new deluxe figures. They were in the middle of stocking the shelves when I dropped by at 11 p.m. I suggest anyone looking for these figures drop by their local Walmart ASAP.

I'm actually looking forward to a Cybertron/Classics restock if that's what happens in my area...I missed out on those lines...

Sorry Dispensor, but you have to admit the last time it was out of place as it was written.

And yes, they reset, but no, no new toys in my area. Just a lot of blank pegs (except at Kohls).

Just got back from the closest WalMart on my lunch break and they were in the middle of restocking the toy shelves. Boxes everywhere. The first thing I noticed was the new TF endcap. No movie figures, but what's this? Classics? Cybertrons? What the hell's going on here? They even had a bunch of 20th Anniv. Primes at 70 a pop. I did snag a Rodimus classic though.

A quick search of the stacked up boxes yielded ONE box that could've theoretically been deluxes, but upon having an employee open it for me all I found were robot replicas. Bleh. Hopefully they've still got some deluxes in the back.

Of course as soon as I break down and buy CLassics Jetfire online, a ton of him starts showing up in stores. Unfortunately he was the only Classic I really wanted. This talk of Alternators in stores though. Now that I'm excited about! Can anyone else confirm this?

I saw some Alt placed at the walmart I bought Ult BB from as well as a bunch of classics. Maybe Hasbro's using the hype from the movie to get the old stock out while the ship some figures to lesser stores, explaining why 08 BB's been found at Kohls lately.

Did you happen to notice which Alternatos they were?

Same thing happened to me. I ordered Jetfire from Amazon last Wednesday, came to just under $25 shipped. I was impressed that it got delivered so fast - arrived on Saturday when it was not estimated to arrive until today. Then yesterday morning Classics were hitting everywhere in town and at one particular WalMart the Classic Voyagers were ringing up at $10!?!? Oh well sometimes that how the game is played.

just picked up seven 08 bumble bees at kohls. and and arcee , needed to make it an even 8 for the 1/2 off deal.

I popped into my local Target, and saw a funny thing.

Last week they had a new spot for 6 inch titaniums, and it was filled with Rodimus, RID Prime and WW Starscream.

This week it had Scourge, Optimal Optimus, and G.I. Joe Megatron.

Isn't that backwards order?

Anyway, I now have noticed sightings for Fallen and G1 Magnus, so I just have to wait until they make it across the country to me.

Clarksville Tennessee Wal-Mart is stocked with Classics and Cybertron toys. No Classics Starscream or Bumblebee, sadly. This same Wal-Mart just put out an endcap of 20th Anniversary Prime. Weird.

The shelbyville wal-mart has stocked Movie Voyagers. Voyager Megatron is with them. No Deluxes, except for Classics. And there are now 6 Classic Voyager Prime and 6 Classic Voyager Jetfire on the shelf.

I'm starting to believe the rumor that Hasbro is clearing out the warehouses and shipping anything they have with Transformers on it.

by **Ragnorok64** » Tue Aug 14, 2007 8:55 pm

I hope they have a few spare Alternator Mirage and Wheeljack in that warehouse :grin:

This is what my local WalMart looks like. I was happy to find a Classics Rodimus, but a Starscream would've been that much nicer. No movie figures at all.

Neither of my Kohlses have any 08 BBs either. ><

Yeah, my local Wal-Mart has ten or so 20th Anniv Primes but hasn't bothered putting them out; instead they're sitting way up on the top shelf, along with a couple Primuses too.
