Went to Walmart this morning to my surprize they had restocked, and restocked well. What did i see? There was a whole isle full of (Movie Deluxes, Voyagers, and Leader Class). There was atleast 250 or more deluxes. (Longarm, Arcee, Dreadwing, Dropkick, 08 BB, Leader Class Brawls, Leader Class Prime, and Megs) all were available. I already have most if not all of what they had, but i picked up a few Arcee's, and Dropkicks for my troubles, and having a few extras never hurt anyone!! :grin: I then went to Kmart next door, and what do i see almost a mirror image of what i saw at WalMart!!

Anyone else seeing this in their areas, or is this just the luck of the draw? I was amazed at the amount of movie toys available today. There were still alot of Classics available also just for the record. :-?

I was at Walmart yesterday and didn't see a thing outside of a few Classics and a bunch of Cybertron figures.

I went to target last week and was finally able to pickup a Dropkick, 2 Leader Class Brawls, G1 Repaint Starscream, and G1 Repaint Jazz. This morning I went to target since I usually get off work at 7am in the morning just in time for Target to first open their doors, walked to the toy aisle no deluxe, voyagers,but they had plenty of target exclusive scouts, and they finally got in Leader Class Prime and Megatron...Picked up Megatron, finally was able to get after not picking him up during the week of the Movie Opening..Already had a Leader Class Prime. So my Transformers Movie Collection is Complete!!! Well until Thundercracker, Rescue Ratchet, and any other G1 repaints Hasbro decides to do, hopefully they will.

I'd say so, but you have to be smart about it. Say, go toy hauling early on a Saturday morning ... and one can expect to find MUCH more. 8pm on a Tuesday night, the shelves tend to be empty. If not empty, there are Ratchets, Starscreams, Ironhides and robot replicas at best. Maybe a voyager megatron here and there as well.

It was just a matter of time before hasbro pumped out enough.

This is how it is in my area (Ohio)... Since Friday. I just went out this morning and everything is still there.

I just feel weird leaving all of them on the shelves. I would have picked up a couple more Leader Brawls, but the packing on most of them were not that great.

I even found a Sunstreaker and Meister Alternator... and all Transformer Univers Arialbots :P

Yup things seems to be very good for finding transformer toys here in (Ohio) atleast. I'm swimming in Movie, Classic, and Cybertron toys here!! :grin:

Too bad I'm at work until 4:30pm...hopefully they'll have some stuff there when I get off...but the thing is where will they put all of them....they only have room for about 40 deluxes max...unless they redid the shelves.

The stores stocking up like this is good news for all of us. Not so good for the scalpers who will have to lower their prices or have dead stock. :grin:

Hmmmm let me see

Scalper price 08 BB = $40.00 or more bucks
Walmart price = $9.99

Who will i choose!!! 8-}

Wal-mart, Target, etc., are all pretty much void of anything around here, though I went to Kohls yesterday and they seemed to have just restocked tons of deluxes, so I picked up 08 BB, went back there today just for the heck of it, and they had even more.

Got me a Dropkick yesterday at Walmart and i aslo notices they restock their shelves with BD Jazz, Leader Barwls, Payload, Longarm and wateva the jet drone is called.

Funny thing is that each walmart on had like 3 cases of deluxes but no BB08 or Arcee in those cases
