I bought MP Starscream from Walmart.com.

It's never been available online that I know of. I was screwing around a couple weeks ago and saw that it had the "add to cart" button when I was in the search view but clicking on it said "Not available online." I figured, what the hell, I'll go back and click the "add to cart." Son of a b, it let me order two of them. Then the next day I got an email. The dreaded NOT AVAILABLE email stating that it was no longer in stock and if it wasn't in stock within 10 days I would have to reorder at a later date. So I figure I'm screwed and forget about it. Imagine my surprise when I log on to see what day it was cancelled. It wasn't!

Sitting at Walmart right now and I have to go pick it up tomorrow!

:DEVIL:

My apologies if this is no big deal and others have posted about doing this or if it was available online before and I never noticed. :evil:

One is to put with my MISB display and the other is to play with!

If I had bought more than two, I'd hook you up.

:P

Haha. I'll keep that in mind. If I ever see a post by you claiming to buy 3 of anything, I am claiming one! ;-)

Good for you. I ordered one from Walmart.com on Jan 2 (when the status was IN STOCK), received the backorder notification the next day, and my order was cancelled after two weeks.

BTW, the three walmarts in my area never had MP Starscream figures. They never had the Thanksgiving $10 two-packs either. Less spending for me, I guess.

It reads "Not Sold Online" now.

Should say "Not Sold in stores either".


Walmart sucks!

And it's a pretty kick ass toy. If only that damn mini megatron was easier to hold in his hands. If they brought all the masterpiece figures out at $50 I'd buy 2 of every one. :PRAY: :DANCE: ;)^

Received the 2 I ordered from Walmart.com back in mid-Jan, then took the shipping receipt back to Walmart and got a $40 refund, since the store had it listed on clearence for $30 each. Sweet Deal! :grin:
