I just found these on the Walmart web site, and thought I'd mention it:

Big Daddy - http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product. ... id=9192743

Divebomb - http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product. ... id=9192741

Jolt - http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product. ... id=9192742

According to the site all these figures are available "site to store", which means if you pay online, they will ship them to your local walmart to be picked up in person at the service desk for no shipping cost. I just ordered a set and they will ship to the Walmart near my work. They will email me when they arrive. Estimated they will show up before the end of the month according to my invoice.

So, forget hunting stores, or paying $30 each on ebay. Get them now at the original $10 each price!

Sadly Grindcore is sold out already - http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product. ... id=9192744

BTW - They don't seem to show up on Walmart's web sites search engine all the time, and they are listed as Transformers: Universe, but these are the movie toys.

Thanks for the info Scaleface. Just did a site-to-store on a Big Daddy, I still need Grindcore too, hopefully they'll put up more quantity for grabs.

Cheers, :APPLAUSE:

Actually to be honest, you don't pick up your items at the service desk. Normally there is an area in your store (usually at the back where layaway used to be) where you press a button or screen that notifies the register to send a request to the CSM. The CSM has someone come and assist you. It's a nifty program to be honest.

They do that with call in too if you spend enough. They met me outside with my flatscreen, they had it in my car while the reciept was being printed.

That was in RiverDale NJ, the ones closer to me would be, ... I'm gonna go with less professional

Neither walmart near me had these so this is great news. I dont know what it is but the walmarts over hear suck.

i wasn't keen on touching any of the repaints of old lines relabeled as movie, but when i saw Big Daddy in a Target here in Australia, I grabbed him without thinking. The car looked too cool

I've seen Jolt and Divebomb around, but once again, really not keen on spending money on old molds. That's a money-sucking pit I don't want to fall into.

Big Daddy's alt mode looks bad ass, I wish I didn't already have the Cyberton Downshift. Already got Jolt, may have to pick up Bid Daddy anyway I'm a sucker for muscle car molds.

Does that free shipping to stores include stores in Canada?

Wow, I wasn't aware that these were selling anywhere else but Walmart in the States, that is pretty awesome for those who are looking for these molds though.

Walmart is pretty smart. Bring the toys to the people.

i saw them at the real store here in Canada.

Any idea if these are going to hit the UK? I've got a hankering for Big Daddy. And Mudfla... I mean, Erector.

Divebomb is hideous! That mold is pretty bad to begin with-add a bad repaint and he's just awful. BD isn't too bad. Maybe I should have purchased him when I saw him in the store. Oh well, more shelf space for the haul later this year when Hasbro actually releases some things!!!!!!!

Have these that hard to find in stores?
My local Walmart had an endcap display full of these guys over a month ago...

And yeah, no desire to have Divebomb.
I wouldn't get him if he was only $5.

I am stilled pissed that NONE of the 3 Walmarts in my area had these. :evil:

Big Daddy is sold out too. DAMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

News Credits: 49 · by **Scaleface** » Tue May 20, 2008 4:24 pm

Well, that's it for Big Daddy. I was seriously considering buying a couple when I found this, but I thought that would be rude. I'm glad I bought ONE before I posted the thread.

There are still Jolts and Divebombs to be had.
