My friend works at Walmart and she stocks overnight, and in the truck tonight was a few Leader Primes, she saved me one and is sending it to me very soon. WOOT.

I didn't know these were rare?

Over here in Ny, they are. People leave the shelves in shambles. Just a few days ago I was looking through the TRU aisles and when I got to Tformers, the deluxes were off the pegs and all.

Wow! Really? The TRU near me is incredibly organized, and I've never seen it messy. Maybe because it's a Canadian one?

Yeah that's possible. sometimes the Tformers section is clean and kept up with, like a month ago they had leader brawls and cybertron primus figures lined up nicely.

Where in NY are you?

I also don't understand why Hasbro wouldn't ensure a leader Prime on the shelves for at least a year. What's with the 3 months or less of a figure being available? Especially with the DVD coming out, there should be plenty of Leader Primes. Back in G1 you could find figures a year after their release, and they had a boat load more figures available at the same times. It's obvious to me that if Collector's are stll looking for them that regular kids would be too.

I finally found Leader Prime, too! It does seem like they're re-stocking figs slowly. The Wally-World I went to had 3 Primes, a Brawl, and plenty of Megs. (no love for Decepticons?)

I'm just waiting for that Voyager re-stock...

Maybe production is too slow. Especially with lots of safety issues on China toys. Hasbro could have uncovered some unacceptable toys, and rejected a whole batch, before they even reach the shelves.
