Just a quick heads up. K-Mart dot com has the hard to find Human Alliance Mudflap in stock. Just ordered mine! I never saw him in stores...

Oh, that's funny.
Prepare for disappointment.

Shame you guys are having such a hard time finding or ordering them. In my area, there are plenty now and on sale for $15.

Well, we all can't live in Canada, can we?
Remember when you lay in bed tonight: There are thousands of Mudflapless children in the US, unable to get one from Canada.

You should try being an Aussie!!! We only just got some of the Human Alliance at Kmart. Still no Mudflap, Jazz or Barricade!!!

I'm sorry to tell you this, but they don't have it. It's always another H.A. figure that arrives, or the order is canceled.

I'm sorry, but you're not going to get him, not through K-Mart.

Maybe you can cancel the order and get a refund.

It's not funny, and you shouldn't be taking joy from another person's pain.

STOP.

IT.

You've got a mean streak in ya, don't ya? It's unbecoming.

And sabrigami, instead of rubbing salt in the wound, why not offer to help your fellow posters? Hmm? You could, you know.

Okay, I was rather harsh, however, I am merely stating the truth.
I myself have made the same mistake with ordering Mudflap from Kmart, so in a strange, and as you put it, unbecoming way I am showing empathy.

At least I believe so.

He may even think it to be funny as well, in due time.

I thought it was funny. Maybe you shouldn't be such a stick in the mud Autobot032. This is the internet, not Mrs. Beasely's 3rd grade etiquette class.

Back on topic, I'm sure that K-Mart is going to screw you over. The only way I managed to get HA Mudflap was through Convotron (who lives in Canada).

The K-Mart orders will not work.

Basically, they check their system and if there is a Mudflap anywhere in their stores the online system "sells" it to you. Then they wait a week to contact the store and ask a very confused employee to go find it and ship it to you. This of course either doesn't happen because the figure sells in the store about 5 minutes later or they send you a HUMAN ALLIANCE figure, probably Bumblebee.

Dustin Hoffman was right, K-Mart sucks. Well, technically, Tom Cruise was right but that guy is captial K krazy.

Yep, just ask Oprah.

Wow, this news is very disappointing. I don't think there's much I can do but just ride it out and hope for the best.(fingers crossed) I'll tell ya what I get when it comes...

A guy on another board I post on fell into the K-mart trap. He ended up getting HA Barricade, he sent it back and still hasn't gotten his refund.

News Credits: 2 · Wed Jul 14, 2010 1:42 pm

I'm working on the details, but I may be able to help some of you out if you want. There are a few in my area right now. Pm if any of you are interested and we can sort details.

Yeah I ordered HA Barricade from them only to receive sideswipe. Called customer service to address the issue and they said send it back and I would be refunded. After about 3 weeks of receiving no refund I called them paid. They had received the packaged but did not know what to do with it. Hard to believe since they had put a comment on the shipping notice and with the receipt in the box I marked that it was being returned because it was the wrong product, they even have a check box on the receipt for just that reason.

Short story don't use K-mart online or you will feel like :BOOM:

Well you called it good sir. I got an email today saying they didn't have it and had cancelled my order. Lesson learned...

I'm sorry it didn't work out for you.

Well, on the bright side, they canceled your order and saved you the trouble of returning a different fig like a lot of people had happen!
