Has your local Wal*Mart re-stocked since Xmas?

Feel free to discuss anything about any of the thousands of Transformer toys here. Anything from Generation 1 all the way to the soon to be released, the never to be released or the hope to be released is fair game! Want to show off your stuff? Please post your's and see others in the Transformers Collections Forum.

Has your local Wal*Mart re-stocked since Xmas?

Mine hasn't. The TF section (along with Star Wars and most of the action figure sections) has been empty since Christmas. I'm hoping tonight's the night they re-stock. I'm planning an early morning run tomorrow.

Mine has, but it's restocked with older stuff (Payload, Dreadwing - all those drones that nobody buys because they suck ass...).

I did pick up a Cyber Slammers Jazz though - I want to get Ratchet next and use them as bookends for my DVDs.

Just those scene packs. The one with Barricade with little figs of Same and Frenzy, and the one with Longarm towing Bumblebee w/o legs. Every Walmart in the area has those.

Local Walmart doesn't even have a transformers spot anymore, it's been replaced with some kind of hokey ass Wrestling figures.

Target I work for has nada.

I stopped at one near me today, and the only thing they had was a buch of the tech ones on clearence. There wasn't even any empty shelf space for a TF section.

Target has been restocking like crazy in my area, but with older deluxe waves. None of the new stuff yet. They sell out within a day, too!

TRU has older Voyager and Leader figs.

Walmarts are still empty. I'm expecting the Allspark stuff to hit my area this week though. It's been over 3 weeks since these things hit TX. As a rule ... that's how long it takes to get newer stuff on the shelves here on the East coast.

I'm sure some stores have put the stuff out here already, but i'm not as dedicated a shopper as I used to be. I'll wait until they're readily available.

In my area TFs are pretty much empty. They had one Swindle and that was it. Other toylines don't seem to be doing much better. I did pick up the G.I. Joe Torch and Ripper two-pack yesterday though. Sadly the most restock I have seen has been Power Rangers.

Target has done a better job getting in some TF toys. Other toylines I have seen at Target this weekend include Storm Hawks, New Pirates: Dead Men Tell No Tales and the new DC Universe "Classics" BAF line.

My local Wal-Mart no longer has a TF section. It has been taken over by Star Wars.

My Target was in the middle of a big restock yesterday so I went back this morning to see what was there. They had nothing from the Allspark line except those 2-packs of legends figures. They had a bunch of movie deluxe/Voyager and leader class figures from the first two waves.

I hit up WalMart early Sunday morning (yesterday), and the only TFs they had were some new Allspark Battle Legends. And lots of empty pegs.

However, they've been restocking the rest of the toy dept like crazy, so I feel a TF restock is coming soon! (I hope)

Side note: I was in Toys R Us yesterday, and they didn't have anything new. But there was one RID Classic Cliffjumper (the one with the jetski trailer) sitting there, tossed casually on a shelf. Very weird.

Went back today and it looked like pre-movie choice. whatever you wanted it is there. Nightwatch prime, leader brawl, voyager screamer, ironhide etc.. There is even a bunch of 08 bumblebees. But most importantly no MP Starscream.

The WalMart I stop at before work every morning restocked deluxes yesterday and today - wave 1 and Concept Bumblebee wave - nothing new. Yesterday they had one Nightwatch Prime on the shelves this morning two more joined him. Also this morning Voyagers were restocked with Evac, Offroad Ironhide and First Strike Prime. Still no Masterpiece Starscreams though : (
