A new rumor has been reported by TFW2005. Apparently both Alternators Rumble and Jaguar Ravage are due out in the next few weeks. But that is just half of the rumor. The other part of the rumor has both figures being Wal-Mart exclusives. So far there has been no official news about this. Stay tuned to SEIBERTRON.com News Section for further updates on this rumor.

Classics Devastator is out? Damn, I need to check more often. But I hardly go to Wal-Mart, I go to Target waaaaay more than Wal-Mart. I'll be on the lookout though.

At least your Wal-Mart carries Alternators. Mine hasn't had any since the Battle Ravage/Mustang assortment.

I doubt it. The problem with the Seacons is that no store wanted to pick them up. Wal-Mart has already picked up Classics Devastator and he has already appeared on Ebay. He will be out in the near future.

Be that the case, its possible that online retailers such as BBTS and company will be able to supply them as well. In which case I'm glad I reserved my case almost six months ago.

Wow... that would blow. Especially when you start looking at all the other crap toys they sell.

Fine buy me if its these are Wal-mart exclusives. I just moved around the block from one!
Also, I know this is't the sightings section, but if you live near Seacacus NJ, I was there looking for window blinds and noticed that they had just gotten in a shipment of every 6 inch Titanium from first wave Megs and War Within Prime to RID Prime and War Within StarScream.
Get em' before you can't!

Hope this isn't true. The Canadian Walmarts generally don't get any exclusives. For some reason, though, TRU usually does.

Will they be in Canadian Wal-Marts?

I hope that second part isn't true...'cause Wal-mart doesn't exist in Aussie! I'll definitely have to get these guys on-line.

Austrailia is pretty much
never shorted out on exclusives. Whenever there is one, it's a simple matter of having another chain that is located there release it.
The UK gets a few of them, usually only the TRU ones, but miss out on others. In this case, it's less of an issue because they already have Ravage, while Rumble is confirmed to have no release there.
Despite being so close to the US, it's often Canada that gets screwed out of certain exclusives, usually the Target ones and sometimes Wal-Mart ones (not sure about that last bit).

Man, I'm sorry, that really sucks! I'm on vacation in Kauai and I thought maybe since it is closer to Japan that maybe they would have classsics devastator but I was sadly mistaken. Sorry if I made it sound like he was out already. I knew he wasn't going to be there and I was kicking myself on the way out the door for not waiting until somebody posted that they had found it before I started hunting. I must say though that it is nice to know I'm not the only one who has problems with Wal-Mart. Rock on tf fans who hate their Wal-Marts that don't stock anything.

I hear there reseting toys and this will possibly be there along with the new Spiderman 3 toys and some new Star Wars Walmart exclusive Battle Packs

Another fine marketing decision via hasblow.
My walmart hasn't restocked crap in almost two years.

I rarely find good Alternators (or much else) at Wal-Marts. Target is usually a much better bet at finding all the new TF's than Wal-Mart. The Wal-Marts in this area are usually a month or two behind everyone else.
