I remember in a thread (I can't find the thread and search isn't working) that WalMart was supposed to put up an end cap for the "Classic" Devastator gift packs. I thought it was supposed to be the first weekend in April but I have yet to see any sign of Devastator within 100 miles of my house.

Does anyone remember that post and what the timeframe was for the end caps to go up at WalMart?

Thanks!

They have it at my local wal-mart, picked mine up this past weekend.

Yeah, looking at the sightings section I see quite a few WalMarts have them out. I'm just curious how much longer the WalMarts in my area are going to horde them in the back with the Ravage and Rumble Alts.

EDIT: The other bad thing is Site To Store shipping will not be available in Michigan until July.

You're in Michigan so you're in the same boat as me. Expect to see them in about two weeks. I've found it takes a good 3 weeks before the "lake states" tend to get new stuff in after the coastal states.

I'm in Saettle, Washington (costal state) and there is none in any Walmart in the entire Puget Sound Area. I think it depends on if the Walmart in your area is still trying to get rid of old Alternator, Cybertron and/or Classics stock as to whether or not they put out the Devastator gift pack and exclusive Alternators.

im in California, and the last time i checked, there were no devastators

Stop that! You're disproving my theory!

also some walmarts don't get the exclusives. My city won't but they can order from another and have it shipped with their truck if you have the item's call number.

Alternatively you can order it from Walmart.com and have it delivered site to store for no cost and pick it up at your local walmart when its in.

Second is the easiest option and no additional shipping in either method.

Good luck finding them in stores. I've tried 7 of them and nothing. I just got 2 site to store and was done with it last week lol.

Mine finally put them out in SW Florida.

I gave up looking. Walmart.com's got it for only $3 shipping, $7 if you order two. "Should be" here between Friday & (next)Wednesday...

Yeah, im not even gonna deal with the frustration of hunting this exclusive...i put in my Walmart.com order last night

Thanks for the replies. Shipping site to store won't work as I said above because I live in Michigan (site to store shipping is available starting in July).

I'd order them online but I don't trust their shipping people to make sure at least one shows up C9+.

I don't mind hunting but it's making me mad because I'd be willing to bet that they have them. Just like the 8 cases of Alt Rumble/Ravage I found in at the Jackson, MI WalMart and they only stocked what was left in the box I took mine out of. The rest are hidden away in the back.

If I'm remembering correctly, the report was that the Devs would be on the end caps during 'Week 10', and at the time we were on week 7 or 8. Allegedly. I haven't seen anything new in my area in weeks; no Devastators, Ravage or Rumble, and only a trickle of Titaniums.

I started calling around to different WalMarts near here and I called back the one in Jackson and asked about Devastator, Rumble and Ravage. I was told they have none, even though 2 weeks ago I saw 8 cases of Rumble/Ravage there.

Their "shipping people" shipped mine to the local walmart. 2 of them in brown cardboard box with packing bubbles. No issue here. Shouldn't be any different packing to ship it to your house.

I'm in north Alabama, and the local Wal-marts aren't in any rush to put new figs out. The one nearest me still has 20+ DVD Primes, 6 Primus, and 20 Cyb. Metroplexes & Megatrons clogging up their clearance aisle. (And no, the price isn't low enough to write home about, unfortunately) I imagine that they'll only start putting new stuff out as the movie gets near, when there will actually be Hasbro reps that come in and check.

Every walmart around here has had deav. for about a month now.

I haven't seen Devastator or the new alts in all three Wal-Marts I've checked. I'd be surprised if we get them at all. Living in the middle of nowhere kind of stinks.

No Devastator or exclusive Alts here. I loathe the local WMs.

This is an awesome update.

My girlfriend called and talked to the manager at the WalMart in Jackson, MI (the one that had 8 cases of Alts but said they didn't have any now). The manager said they did in fact have Devastator, they had 20 of them.

By the time we got there, he had a case pulled down and I bought 2.

Awesome!

I know money is money ... but if that's the case, why don't you guys just buy it from walmart.com and pay the extra $6 for shipping? Time is money ... think about the time you spend going to various Wal-Marts in your area not to mention the money you spend on gas driving to these Wal-Marts. I'm sure if you do the math on your time and the money you spend on gas that it would be worth your while just to buy it online from Walmart.com. Food for thought.

I'm not worried about the money, I drive all over the state with my girlfriend every weekend looking for cool toys to buy. I was just getting tired of knowing they had the stuff but they weren't stocking it.

The last couple of weekends we came home pretty much empty handed and it gets old after awhile We love the thrill of the hunt.

I decided I was done waiting for my local Walmarts to stock it. I ordered it from Walmart.com and qualified for Site to Store free shipping. So in a week to a week and a half my Classics collection will be complete minus any minicons and the Botcon exclusive set.

My Devastator from Walmart.com came in the mail today...more on this later as i am at work now
