but the rubsigns have always been much less preferable than actual normal insignias. When I got various Classics and Reveal the Shield figures I peeled those darn things off and replaced with reprolabels.

I will NOT bother going to my Walmart looking for these G1 minibots. I know I'll just find empty pegs, the SCALPER CARRIONS PLAGUE having already done it's work. I hope Walmart put a shaytons of them on the pegs, enough for these fokkers scalpers to be stuck with hundreds of dollars of unsold inventory for years. :BOOM:

Distribution? Logistics? Proximity to a Wally warehaus? I dunno.

Ugh... There is no South Surrey.
It's just Surrey.

Honestly, at a job years ago, as I lived in Surrey, I was asked to go through the customer database and fix the addresses of people who rather than just saying they lived in Surrey, had entered South Surrey (doesn't exist) or Sunnyside (just neighborhood) or White Rock (a separate city). You can tell yourself you don't, but Canada Post says you do.

Back on track however, I was at the Walmart in Central City (Surrey Place) last night and no sign of these.

So any chance these will be back in stock online? There are no Walmarts near me unfortunately.

You're not wrong, I live in Surrey, but close to White Rock. When I say "South Surrey" I (just speaking for myself, here) mean "the southern part of Surrey". Specifically this was the Walmart at 24th Ave and 160th street. Sadly, after I got through with it, there was only a Tailgate left.

I figured that was where you ment, thanks for clarifying, and sorry for the aggravated response. It's something that has bothered me for years that rather that changing the stigma of Surrey that many would rather try to deny they live there, not caring that by doing so they were making that stigma worse.

I'll either be at Nordel or Guildford tomorrow and will post if I see anything.

All good, man. I fully understand. Good luck in your searches!

That did not last long, as the IGN article indicated, the G1 reissues were going to go on sale at Walmart.com this week. Most did and they sold out within less than a day. Starscream is still available for preorder though. While these are showing up at brick and mortar in Canada, we have yet to get a brick and mortar sighting in the US. We have included the links below for you to bookmark them, preorder those available, or sign up for in stock alerts.

Here is hoping all those who want these toys get them. Also, just for info, if any of you have any inclination towards getting Outback, do not hesitate if you see him. He is short packed in order for there to be three Bumblebees, which are also in incredibly high demand due to the remolded cartoon face never before released in the US.

Here are the links:

Hot Rod for $29.84
Devastator for $74.00
Starscream for $34.76
Bumblebee for $7.99
Outback for $7.99
Tailgate for $7.99
Swerve for $7.99

While still out of stock, Bumblebee's price jumped up to $10.22, but not the others. Hmmm...

It took like another 14 years for Bb anime head to show up. Might be a factor.

Keep on buying G1 folks! Still the best!Warts and all!

Ok..this did surprise me. Was not expecting them to go that quick. And I wanted a Devy.... will they restock?

Of course not. They're all ultra limited edition. So go to your friendly scalper and pay 3 times it's worth!
It's MP Starscream all over again.

Yeah, I'm of little faith here and pretty bitter. But eh.....

News Credits: 12 · by **nycPrime** » Sun Jul 22, 2018 8:18 am

Heh I'm still holding onto some faith. I think it'll restock again, maybe closer to ship date. Here's hoping....

Well if they sold out that fast, maybe they will do more reissues in the future.

News Credits: 251 · by **Mindmaster** » Sun Jul 22, 2018 11:59 am

Eh, I’ll wait to see them in-stores. Unless they turn out like Power of the Primes Wave 2 in that they’re ridiculously hard to find, then I’ll order online.

I'm tepid on the whole G1 re-issue thing. I mean - toy tech has improved so much since then. I had a G1 Starscream, and I wearied of all the partsforming you had to do.

I think we all know that feel. If I get a second chance, I'll buy online. Otherwise the hunt is on!

I bought Starscream from Robot Kingdom. With shipping, it's about double the Walmart price. But at least I don't have to visit Walmart.com everyday or spend more than the retail price on gas driving to stores every week. Not to mention my time. Thank god for RK, TCP et al. My time is worth far more than the slightly inflated price they charge.
