Lets just say.... Transformers, what are they?

All my walmart has are 3 extremely beat up Primuses... Or is it Primi? I don't know what he plural of Primus is. That and one battle scene thing. Other than that no deluxes, voyager, leaders, tech things, real gear or even titaniums. Nothing at all. Not even shelf space, they turned it from pegs into shelves.

Still not much in my neck of the woods, as of yesterday. Should be getting my MP Starscream shipped there this week. BTW, I've been checking Walmart.com about him--it keeps saying Out of Stock Online, but if you click on it, it says In Stock. ???

Went back today and what do know all of the concept bumblebees are gone. It was probably the same scalper that bought all of the M.P. Screamer. I found somebody that had a telzon and had him input the item number for Starscream and it came up with a big fat 0. None in transit none in stock. :sad:

I have never seen a MP-Starscream in my region...I do not know if it has not made out to here or my region has been hit by scalpers.

I'm planning on stopping by my trusty local Wal-Mart tomorrow and I hope to the Big Guy himself that there are some new figures there because, man, these barren post-Christmas shelves at WM and TRU have just been depressing.

There's not much in the All Spark line that really entices me, but come on, can we at least get a random Landmine or Cliffjumper around here some time soon?

Walmart was EMPTY, but Target was well stocked, except no Deluxe Allspark figures... Yet.

My walmart doesnt even have a section for TFs anymore.

Mine has nothing but new AS Legends two packs--and lots of them, especially Recon Barricade vs. Cliffjumper, with less Jazz-Bonecrusher, Rescue Ratcher-Brawl. KMart also has those only.

Target has those, two Voyagers (Thundercracker, Rescue Ratchet), two Leader Brawls, and a ton of Deluxes (Scorponok, Barricade, Arcee, Wreckage, Brawl, Payload, Dreadwing, Longarm, '08 Bumblebee, Swindle--about 1 of each).

The Toys R Us near me has nothing but FAB Frenzies, but they have about 8 pegs full :shock:

The Wal-Mart near my work has six Nightwatch Primes and more FABs than you could shake a stick at. No voyagers or deluxes yet, though.

Except for the huge helicopter on his back. It's a good thing you can just pop it off. This will probably be another pass for me.

Back on topic, the TRU here (Appleton, WI) has quite a few of the first wave of Allspark deluxes and the newer Robot Heroes. Wal Mart's toy section is still void of Transformers around here.

Just an update, I was in my Wal-Mart today and they got in a bunch of Nightwatch Primes (it's the first time I have seen something new in a long time) and also some Voyager Starscream's (regular) and Ratchet's (green)--both of which I had not seen in stores before--so I gleefully picked up Starscream whom I had been pining for :grin:

I'm still looking for some All Spark Deluxes and Voyagers. :sad:

I went to my local Wal-Mart yesterday: a lone Leader Megatron.

Went to 2 TRUs: just a random Real Gear or two.

I've been to a few Targets: mostly past waves of deluxes and voyagers, several Thundercrackers and Rescue Ratchets.

Not a sniff of anything new.
