Transformers getting the squeeze at your walmart?

TF toys seem to be getting squeezed out at walmart by Spider Man special edition. I don't even see pegs for deluxes anymore?

We went from wave 1 overflow, now almost down to nothing. I guess that's just the nature of things....but right before Christmas? Hasbro what were you thinking?

Anyone experiencing the same thing?

I remember one guy on the MP Starscream thread saying something similar to this. That a huge space had opened up. It seems to have gotten filled by special edition Spidy

at both of my local Wal-Marts, Spiderman is away from TF. We have pegs for the deluxes and room for the voyager figures.

I saw a ton of TF movie deluxes thrown together in one of those big bin looking things! It was a shock! They weren't any cheaper either, just threw them all into a big metal bin

Most of the Walmarts around me have more Transformers on the shelves now than they have had in months. Too bad I have everything I want, except for the new Masterpiece Starscream (which is the one figure none of them have).

Like I said in a thread a week ago or so, I work at walmart and our toy depart. manager said he wasn't ordering anymore because ours were slow sellers. But everyone went crazy telling me how wrong I was. Yet we still have no new transformers, and the depart. manager still says we've not sold what we have left. Stupid Swindle and scorpy ruined it for my backwoods store.

And I too have noticed Spidey starting to step on other toy's pegs. He's migrating all over the place. Bastard. GI Joe isn't helping the situation either, he's flanking the other side.

The Wal Mart closest to me has moved the TF's to one small shelf, and Spider-Man now has 2, count em, 2 rows.

Today was weird. I went to two Wally's, and a Target. I started with Target, which had THREE Leader Megs, and a Leader Brawl. No Prime...

The first Wally had two Megs. Moving along...the second Wal-Mart had a bunch of MP Starscream! But no Leaders whatsoever.

I'm very glad to have picked up SS, but where the hell is Prime?! Did I miss him for good? :cry:

Last time when i went to Walmart they had restocks of Thundercracker and Rescue Ratchet ( about 4 of each) which i promptly snagged both :grin: . But they had Deluexs there, though it was of Longarm, Payload, Dropkick, Recon Barricade and Battle Jazz.
