For the past year, upstate SC has had very little int he way of transformers. At least at Walmart. Out of 3 Walmart stores I frequent, only one of them has carried much of anything. They have inexplicably raised prices (elite construct bots went from 15 to 20, no other store has done this) and seem to refuse to stock anything. In the last year, at my own local Walmart I have seen only one single thrilling 30 deluxe and that was a Bumblebee. Instead, there are 4 Beast Hunters deluxes of which Starscream make up 3 of that count. There are some cyberverse commanders, but they are all Predaking. In fact at my local store there has been a empty space for generations deluxe that have been completely empty since before Christmas.
Today, I went by a Walmart in a much larger urban area. They haven't been great but better than my own store. This is what I saw:
The TMNT stuff goes down until the end of the shelf. That is all the space they have even given Transformers stuff. I bet the idiots look at the numbers and think TFs are not selling. THEY AREN'T SELLING BECAUSE YOU DON'T STOCK THEM.
anyone else notice this?
I have been into transformers since 1984.
While I love G1 I also love new innovations and takes on the characters.
I prefer official Hasbro releases of stuff for the most part
I'm not a huge fan of Japanese original Transformers media or designs.
It's easier for me to say which are my LEAST favorite toy lines: Beast Machines, Robots in Disguise.
TFCon List: Classics Skywarp, General Optimus, BW Airrazor, Transmetal Tarantulus, Alternity Prime, Fire Convoy
