Is anyone else seeing this? I just made a round trip to a couple different Wal Marts. At the first one They had practically no Movie figures, but instead had 3 pegs full of Cybertron deluxe (the last wave) and 4 Cybertron voyagers, GF Vector Prime, Soundwave, Quickmix, and Dark Crumplezone. I left all that but They did have The movie Robot heroes, except the Prime and Blackout, so I snagged those. At the second Wal Mart they had The Multiples of the Last wave of classics including all minicons, Deluxe Mirage, Grimlock, "Cliffjumper, etc. and Several Voyager Classic Jetfires, and Primes. Also had Cybertron Deluxe and scout assortments. I also counted 6 Primus's, and at least 10 20th MP Primes...and NOTHING is discounted! Also 2 Alt Skids, 2 Ricochet and 1 Sunstreaker. Yes this is all new stock, in other words hasn't been sitting around on the shelf for months. I believe Wal Mart is clearing out their Warehouse looking for ANY Transformers to put out to fill the empty movie toy shelves.
Anyway, is anyone else seeing this?

Love the whole restocking older transformers. Too bad they aren't doing it for Armada

Maybe for once in my life I can buy Classics Jetfire

I went by the Wal-Mart near my house to discover that at some point during the week the had restocked the movie figs with both the oldder and more recent stuff. By the time I got there they were almost sold out of everything. They only had two or three Arcee's and Dreadwings when I got there from the new stuff.

I haven't noticed many in WM, but TRU's are getting in a lot of classics and cybertron toys.

what the heck is going on around these stores now ,while they're socking up with prev. toys and not Enough of the movie figures . We think they're trying to fit in another profit for previous lines and nothing for the movie line up ?? This Urkes me When All I want is a leader class Megatron

Similar thing happening here. Went into TRU yesterday to find the shelves full of cybertron deluxe figs.

by **DorkimusPrime** » Sat Aug 18, 2007 7:49 am

Yeah, in Pekin, IL it's the same way - lots of Cybertron and Classics, along with a few Protoforms and a handful of movie Voyagers

It's happening so much at so many different chains, it has to be what Hasbro is shipping, not what they stores had as backed up stock.

Shame this isn't happening in the UK.

I'd love to go into a TRU and buy me some alternator goodness rather than resulting to ebay all the time.

by **Raymond101** » Sat Aug 18, 2007 7:53 am

Is this happening in any TRUs in Brisbane Australia???

Sigh...

by **TylerDialer** » Sun Aug 19, 2007 1:20 am

Same is happening here.

Yes, I posted a thread about this already here:

And you're in GA? And others are seeing them in other states? Hasbro is definately doing this on a large scale then, i was thinking that what i was seeing was a one-time deal until now, as in for example, the particular store with them had found an extra old case of Tf's in the back room or whatever.

I was in Walmart today they bought out cases of Cyberton figures to fill the wholes left by the movie figures.

Plus they put out more alternators and the DVD Prime

Yup, same here. I noticed yesterday that one of the walmarts all of a sudden popped out a huge display of Classics Prime, Jetfire and minicons, 20th MP Primes, and a handfull of Cybertron Voyagers.

Weird.

by **Prowl86** » Sun Aug 19, 2007 1:16 pm

YAY! Maybe this is my chance to get Cyb. Soundwave and Classics Grimlock!

by **a7x666** » Sun Aug 19, 2007 1:22 pm

yep and i picked up a 20th ann. prime. i know some people dont like it but i think hes awesome

by **AutobotServo** » Sun Aug 19, 2007 1:28 pm

Yep. Happened to me as well!

News Credits: 88 · by **DavidT** » Sun Aug 19, 2007 1:43 pm

Damnit! All my stores put out Freakin' Cybertron and Classics also. What the crap? I want movie figures. :BOOM:

WHAT THE HELL HASBRO??????????

The Rumble and Ravage Alternators still have not shown up here :sad:

by **jimmyeyo** » Sun Aug 19, 2007 2:04 pm

How can you guys tell when is wal-mart having the figures on the shelves? Everythime i go, theres nothing :sad:

News Credits: 2 · by **blkbitcloud1** » Sun Aug 19, 2007 2:19 pm

Well, I think this is just a filler cause there're short on movies figures and this is extra stock that Hasbro have and let Walmart and or TRU'S(I havent been to TRU'S lately) put them out until they get more movie figures done. I got my 20th Annv. Prime last Oct-Nov at clearence price of $39.00 and now there what $49.99-79.99??

I say this cause Targets, Kmart, KBtoys still dont have any movie figures. Dont know how Kohls have BBCC(and I was just there and there're movie toys are full of BBCC, Arcee and Dreadwing)and all the rest. They dont have Final Jazz or any Redeco Jazz but still have the other figures.

Just my 2 cents.

Yep, they had classics and Cybertron stuff at my Wal Mart too near Charlotte, which is fine by me for two reasons:

1. I'd gotten all the movie figures I wanted.

and 2. I was now able to get classics Rodimus and Grimlock!
