Our own Autobot Firestorm has informed us that Walmart.com has the new Revenge of The Fallen preview and Leader Class figures IN-STOCK! See what they have by clicking here.

However, that's not all. Reports are coming in now that some Walmart stores already have their product out and available for purchase, and more retailers are expected to put out their stock throughout the day. With this, the successful hunting should begin for most fans today and into this Botcon weekend.
So have fun hunting, and stay tuned to us for updates from Botcon!

The Wal-Mart near me had the first wave out two weeks ago, and the preview figures last week. Hopefully they'll have them out this weekend.

i called my local lessthansupercenter a couple hours ago about the midnight release and the (pollitically incorrect term here) said, " they'll probably be ready tomorrow cuz there is only one person working in toys and its really hard" I sh** you not, exact words, "its really hard" anyway, i said, very nice and politely mind you
" alright, thanks a lot , man!" and he said "... k " and hung up... (pollitically incorrect term)

so yeah i'll go tomorrow morning i guess, i dont feel like f-ing around with a bunch of retards in the middle of the night... OPPS did i say that!? sorry. :grin:

Stopped at walmart on my way home from work tonight. The ROTF figures were overflowing the shelves. I took a sideswipe to a price checked and it ran up. so i snagged a shopping cart left floating around by the toy dept person and gathered up leader prime megs,voyager starscream demolisher, and deluxe sideswipe soundwave, rampage and sideways. at 1:15AM and had no problem at the register.

Has anyone else found the quality control a bit lacking on the leader class figures? One of my leader class Megatron's legs simply won't click into place in Tank mode and several of the slots and holes on the leader class Optimus (especially on the legs) don't line up. I'm going to hold off on the others for the moment as the production quality on this first set seems a little hit and miss (certainly compared to the figures from the first film which still click and snap together in the places that they should)

I visited 4 different wal marts tonight and they ALL of their ROTF stock out on the shelves. I had to restrain myself this time around but man, it was so awesome to see them up on the shelves!. I picked up Demolisher, Sideaays, sideswipe, depthcharge and dead end. Leader megs looked so sick but I'm going to hold off..I did not however see soundwave at all.. Not sure why..I have him pre-ordered so it's no biggie I just thought that since he was a "Preview" fig that he would have been on display.

maybe walmart will have em today.i will sell what ever i have to to get them besides other TFs. good bye ps2! for the 6th time :sad:

I bought Leader class Megatron about 2 weeks ago, and i dont have any issue with his legs, or arms, but i have 2 other issues with him, 1st is his snap out claw or sword, the spring that drives is very weak and the other is with the spring is his cannon that launches the projectile is very weak too, but other than that his a great figure and a must buy!! Dont waste your on the voyager class Prime or Megatron, unless its something that you truly want.

you dont f*ck with wal-mart

by **WolfDawg** » Fri May 29, 2009 8:18 am

I'll bet my left nut that every single Walmart in my area won't have these figures out today. They've been playing dumb with me for over a week, why will it change tonight? I swear, I'm starting to hate condescending Walmart employees.

hay guys, I can verify this, I just got the notice last nite that the lock out date for the figs had been deleated, so I snagged myself a prime and starscream before I clocked out today. Its true, they are now legal. My day crew is supposed to be working out the tfs today, but knowing them, they wont. Either way, they will be on the floor tonight!

by **dumbprime** » Fri May 29, 2009 8:36 am

my local target even has the ROTF figures out.

Thanks for the tip!

I was able to snag all the Deluxes and Scouts I wanted, but the one Wally world didn't have the Leaders or Voyagers.

i had the same problem i checked 3 stores this morning and all of the figures but no soundwave! at this point i'm thinking i might wait for the toys r us gathering at nemesis set with the rumored blue soundwave.

also my target had a sign up saying you could only buy two transformers per customer... and they also had a sign saying target exclusive revenge of the fallen superion for 29.99 but didn't have the figure.

So far I got the leader figures. It also looks like not all the walmarts in my area have stocked the figures yet, since one I saw had the shelve space ready, but nothing stocked. As far as I know, the targets in my area will begin selling the figures tomorrow.

VICTORY IS MINE!!!! BWAAAA HA HA HA HAAAA! :twisted:

Just got back from Y'all-Mart in White Lake, Michigan.
When I arrived there, the Hasbro lady was stocking the shelves from a towering pallet of shrink-wrapped TF goodness. Apparently, they ditched the wait til 5 bit and are releasing them now. Hasbro lady told me that Target also forewent the "street date" crap and put them out at 8 am this morning.
The nice lady then went on to help me obtain what I wanted from the pallet:
Leader Prime and Megs
Scouts Depth Charge, Knock out, Rollbar, DirtBoss, Ransack, and Dead End
Voyager Starscream and Demolisher (don't want another Prime and Ironhide)
Deluxe Rampage, Soundwave, Breakaway, BB, Sideswipe, and Sideways.

I GORGED, chewing a $279.00 chunk out of my saved $400.00 and letting the juice run down my chin.

Hasbro lady then went on to take my photo next to my full shopping cart, which will apparently appear on the Hasbro website at some point.

All in all, a great way to start the day! :grin:

Did the checkout girl ask you the same that she asked me - "Do you have a Tax ID card for this?" :lol:
