The Harahan Wal Mart restocked and had a bunch of deluxes (even sideswipe).

I was going to pick up the 2 wreckers... Had them in my hands but put them down...

I don't know why though..
Maybe I am waiting for Warpath..

Have fun waiting for Warpath. I haven't seen any Generation/RTSs waves past the one with Scourge and Laser Prime. Hell, I had to hound down an employee at Target a few months back to even get my hands on Scourge and his wavemates.

I ordered RTS Lugnut, Warpath, and Wheeljack online months ago and haven't regretted it since. I'm almost positive all we'll see on the shelves from here on out will have the DOTM stamp on it for a LONG time.

Don't believe me? When's the last time you saw a new PCC figure?

Then I guess I will not be buying any more DOTM product.
I know I will find someone that has extras for cost sooner or later..

Hey guys, exciting news. I stopped at the Walmart on Seigen Lane in Baton Rouge last night to pick up some supplies to paint my girlfriend's son's room and noticed on an end cap just outside of the toy aisle two to three cases of Generations figures. Low and behold there was ONE Warpath left, along wiht several Kups, Wheeljacks, Scourges and Thundercrackers.

I'd been to this Walmart several times in the past few months and seen nothing. My only thoughts are that the Generations toys may have been lumped in with DOTM toys in the warehouse and waited until 5/13 to be released. Also, make sure to scout the ENTIRE toy area, these were on an end cap mostly out of site and no where near other TF toys. Happy hunting!

Congrats!

Hey guys, a bit more info for you. After leaving my office's annual retreat I stopped by the College Dr Walmart to find x3 each of Warpath, Wheeljack, Scourge and Thundercracker. As dumb luck would have it, I discovered that one of my students has been working at this particular Walmart as a stocker. I stopped to chat and he confirmed my theory that (at least in our district I'd assume) all Walmarts were told by the district manager not to put out any Transformers stock (as well as other movie tie in toys) prior to their respective release dates. It seems that these Generations toys were simply lumped into the pile with other Transformers toys! I hope this helps all of you. Still no luck on Windcharger or Frenzy/Rumble, but at least I didn't drop $50+ on Warpath online!

yea, congrats on the findings mazing. Perhaps i misjudged the likelihood of finding these guys. This definitely warrants a trip ti my local walmart!

Crap... I cannot get to that Wal Mart.. I guess I can keep a little hope of finding these figs..

Thu May 19, 2011 6:40 pm

Crap! Wish I had read these posts earlier. I just drove through BR on my way home from a business trip.

Sun May 22, 2011 7:23 pm

If you have the $$$ sure.

Had a call in Chalmette... Stopped off by the Wal Mart and JACKPOT!!! A Warpath and a Wheeljack are now mine.

$30 for a fig... Uh, no..

Tue May 24, 2011 7:46 am

Are there any more there CB? I work around that Walmart and I'd love to have an extra Warpath.

Tue May 24, 2011 8:25 am

Nice CB! I hit two wal-marts that I had been lucky at yesterday at lunch but they were both wiped of Wheeljack and Warpath (plenty of Kup, Blurr, Scourge and Thundercrackers though). Hopefully one of you guys got to one instead of the local comic book stores...

Wed May 25, 2011 7:14 pm

Went to TRU to see if they had the DOTM deluxes Wave 3, and sure enough they did! Nabbed Laserbeak (the only one I really wanted), but saw Thundercracker as well. I also got the Cyberverse Prime and Megatron that came with the trailers (or command centers). Grabbed the last Megatron of that pack, but there was still an Optimus there when I left. Lastly, I saw the Bumblebee and Starscream 4 pack TRU legends figures. Great little repaints, especially the Cybertron Starscream repaint. He'll go on my War for Cybertron shelf

Oh yea, I also saw the K-mart exclusive BB and scout class Human alliance two pack that came with the little Sam Witwicky figure. Really cool color scheme, but I really can't justify buying ANOTHER movie BB...even if the color scheme is really kick ass. Maybe if it goes on sail...

Two Warpath's and Wheeljacks spotted at the O'Neal lane Wal-mart in BR on I-12. My GF was with me and she had already been upset with me for spending too much last month so... they're still there. I shoved them behind the other TF's.

Went to TJ Maxx and Marshalls in Elmwood.

Maxx had 1 of each RTS Legends Megatron and Prowl (bought both).
Marshalls has two Prowls and one Megatron.

Looking for Trailcutter now

Anyone spot the Cyberverse Prime and Megatron playsets around Baton Rouge, Denham Springs, and/or Hammond?

Tue Jun 07, 2011 8:27 am

Hey Darkest Knight, I'm in BR and got both the Prime and Megatron playsets at the College Dr Wal-mart. I've been to Seigen and O'neal recently and have only seen the Bumblebee/Starscream sets which I'm not too interested in. Also, Marshalls on Airline had Leader SS and Hook Prime for $25 and the O'neal Wal-mart still has some Warpaths if you're looking. Are you in/around BR?

Tue Jun 07, 2011 10:06 am

Yeah, I live in Denham Springs, which as you know is right next to BR and I go to school at Southeastern. College Drive Wal-Mart you say? I haven't been there in a few months. Normally my searches there have been very unsuccessful. I'll check them out tomorrow afternoon. Thanks.

Tue Jun 07, 2011 10:51 am

Yeah I work at LSU so I stop by there frequently. They've been pretty barren since their toy department down sizing, but they've got plenty of DOTM toys and a few of the later Generations run. So you must be one of the guys beating me to the toys in Denham Springs and O'Neal

Keep me posted on what you're looking for and I'll make sure to stuff the toys to the back of the pegs and if you don't mind give a heads up to the group if you find anything on your hunts!

Tue Jun 07, 2011 12:58 pm

DK, I stopped at the College Dr. WM at lunch to grab the BB/SoundWave/Rodimus 3-pack and saw one of each of the Prime and Megs play sets on the aisle, not on the end cap.

Tue Jun 07, 2011 1:34 pm

Haha. No, i havent been the one beating you in Denham and O'Neal. I'm mainly collecting Cyberverse right now with plans to get Fireburst Optimus Prime. Thats about it for right now. I'm taking summer classes at SLU so my budget has been kinda tight due to having to pay tuition. I work a block from the Denham Wal-Mart, so im there just about everyday. They just put out the Deluxe exclusives and the second waves of Cyberverse Legions and Deluxes. I've seen a few Skyhammers but zero Shockwaves.

Tue Jun 07, 2011 1:39 pm

Yeah I think the only thing from DOTM that I'm going to be buying are the cyberverse sets, I don't have the display room to justify much non-G1, Human Alliance movie toys, or generations. Anyway, there's one of each of the Prime and Megs @ College Dr, get'em while they last!
