So I know the news was out about possible older stuff being put back out and no one really knows what they'll find out there.

I was down in Auburn at Walmart in my area, WA. So I went to the toy aisle and OMG!!!! They had 3 types of alternators!!!! And about 16 on the shelf total of those 3.

I missed out on A LOT of this stuff from the past couple years due to financial issues, but I snatched these 3 up and walked out a happy man. I knew if I didn't get them now I'd never see the opportunity again. Amd this was at 6:00pm after work today. They must have just put the stuff out!

So wow!!!! A lot of older stuff is coming out. there were a bunch of Megatron and Optimus 2-packs out too of the classics, A lot of jetfire and Optimus as well as some smaller Cybertron figures (Which the colors are god awful so I didn't buy any)

Look out there, guys! Stuff's around!

I'm so stoked I found some Alternators!! That's a big middle finger up to Ebay scalpers!!!

I went to Wally world tonight, and I saw Ravage, Rumble, Primus, Cyb. Optimus Primal, and other things. I'll be checking another one tomorrow.

ZOMG! Alternators that have been available for over a year back on store shelves! Hoo freakin' rah. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy you could get them but you could have checked the b/s/t thread. I'm sure there are folks on there willing to nearly give those away.

Bran, I assume you're talking about at Wal-Mart retail:

Sadly the reappearance of older toys also includes their original prices. The alts still run at $19.99, I found all four members of the wave [Sunstreaker being the forth] today on the top shelf of a Wal-Mart I stopped at. So let that be a hint to everyone out there to look up.

The alternators that I picked up at WM recently were tagged at $19.96

I got Ravage 2.0, Rumble and Rollbar.

Looks like you just missed Optimus Prime, he would have been the fourth one in that case assortment.

Nice find, though, even though those three were pretty common, Skids is the only Alt there that isn't a repaint. Ricochet and Rollbar were each the 3rd uses of their respective molds.

From what I've seen in my Wal-Marts, Sunstreaker has been the fourth figure in that case, not Optimus.

My WalMart had a case and it included Optimus Prime.

The figures in the case assortment at that time did vary. I can't remember specifics anymore but yes, Prime was included in one version, I think...

Hmm, it was Prowl, Skids, Sunstreaker and maybe there wasn't a forth in that set

Then Skids, Sunstreaker, Rollbar and Ricochet.

Then Prime, Rollbar, Ricochet and either Skids of Sunstreaker.

Prime, Jazz, Mirage... and Camshaft
