Walked into Walmart tonight and the employees were cramming Deluxes onto every peg they could find... by the end, they had put up everything I had seen in the last restock last week plus Recon Barricade... (and several more Concept Camaros)...

looks like they are gearing up for the holidays... for the first time ever, I walked into a Walmart, found a restock, and did not buy anything (already got everything I wanted in the last restock last week)... well I did buy a clock radio...

The Wal-Marts by me are the same except they have tons of Wave 1's and virtually no Wave 2's.

Must....go...now...

Were there any wave 1s there?

I saw plenty of Concept BB, Brawl, Bonecrusher, and Swindle... (but those guys, except for BB, might have been leftovers from last week's restock)

but I did pick up a Barricade and classic Camaro BB at Target today... passed on Wreckage though.

by **Predacon Galvatron** » Wed Oct 03, 2007 8:41 pm

Original Barricade and Wreckage are the only 2 eluding me around here. I found Bonecrusher the other day, but had to pass, because I was low on money.

I'm kinda happy to see that Hasbro is definitely putting the Concept BB mold to heavy production it seems in time for the holidays... it's such a wonderful toy.

it's something I think every kid should have to play with by Christmas...

However, they need to make more Barricades... the Recon Barricade pales in comparision...

Well my local Wal-Mart has a restock of Wave 1, and Swindle. A pretty good supply too, so good for those who were late to the game. I already have everything, but it is WAY better then barren.

Yep, Walmart's are getting more restocks in, and here the local Targets are joining in on the action too; for the first time in forever the TECH Gear was demoted from the pegs to make way for Deluxes.

no kidding... they were pushing the tech gear towards the back and putting deluxes in front of them on the pegs...

Ohh yes, earlier today at WM ... it was deluxe heaven. I 've never seen so many at once before, it was insane!

I picked up another recon barricade and deluxe arcee. There were a few CC BB's, but the cards were damaged on all of them for some reason. All in the same spot, too.

by **Maldroth** » Thu Oct 04, 2007 1:41 am

its not just walmarts that are seeing Deluxes but Targets too, managed to get my hands on Concept BB and an Arcee, now its just the drones which seem to be peg warmers. Towline seems hard to find right now, but I'm sure that will change

Nobody is seeing anything here still.

I'll check the back of Walmart Friday.

I'm sure they're stocking for the holidays AND really getting ready for the Oct. 16th DVD release date. Since Hasbro missed the boat over the summer with low stock, I'm sure they're trying to recapture some of that with the DVD release and keep that momentum going through Xmas.

I'm seeing this too in Atlanta-shipment after shipment of deluxes.

by **YeekJat** » Sat Oct 06, 2007 2:19 pm

My wal-mart did the same thing. They got a crapload of deluxe classes, but no voyager or leader. This is infuriating because I have all of the deluxes I want, but can't find leader prime or voyager blackout.

by **Loki41872** » Sat Oct 06, 2007 3:36 pm

My Wally World has almost every Deluxe now. Saw ORIGINAL Barricade for the first time since July today, they even had a couple of 70's BBs and a Wreckage or two.

They had all the new Robot Replicas, Fast action battlers and Voyager class. Rescue Ratchet, Thundercracker, Prime nad Megs. Even a couple of Blackouts.

All the Targets by me have gotten the current wave of figures (Payload, Longarm, Final Battle Jazz, etc...) with from what I was told Recon Barricade disappearing in record time.

All the Wal-Marts by me have about 5-6 of every Wave 1 deluxe except for 74 Bumblebee and Jazz. The Wal-Mart by me in Carpentersville has 2-3 of every Voyager class toy made except for the Ratchet.

All walmarts in my area have been restokcing their deluxes. There were a number of 08/09 BBs, lots of Payloads, and voyager class Optimus Primes and Thunder crackers.

Unfortunately there was No Dropkick! :-(

I haven't seen him anywhere here except once in Zellers and that was one month ago.

by **Leon S Kennedy** » Sat Oct 06, 2007 5:56 pm

My Wal Mart was CRAMMMED with crappy deluxe figures, like the camera face dudes, BC, Brawl, and teh tow truck dude.

by **BB.206** » Sat Oct 06, 2007 6:41 pm

My local WalMart this morning had 9 plus Classica Camaro Bumblebees. I've never seen so many before. Another WalMart 15 minutes away had 7 Classic Camaro Bumblebees.

by **Whammy** » Sat Oct 06, 2007 6:52 pm

I'm going to wal mart tomorrow. all I want is CC BB. If they did restock, whick IDK if they did. What is the best time to go?

by **mpchi** » Sat Oct 06, 2007 6:55 pm

I ahve seen Walmarts restocking stuff, but yet most have flown off the shelves instantly, leaving very few Swindles or sucky ones behind. I still have yet find a 08 Bumblebee...
