The Energon Pub

Living in Manhattan, without a car, I generally have no way of making it to a Walmart to pick up whatever exclusives they have. Is there a list online of which exclusive items will be released this summer at Walmart? Or could someone kindly make that list below? I need to start my eBay hunt...

Thanks!

There will be a Deluxe Optimus Prime, a translucent Deluxe Bumblebee with racecar deco, and Sidearm Sideswipe with racecar deco. Those are the ones right off the top of my head.

The Walmart Bee is fully opaque.

To my knowledge Walmart gets 3 exclusives. Race Car #04 SideArm Sidswipe, Deluxe Optimus
Prime, and Race Car #84 Bumblebee.

The deluxe Optimus is too small for me, but I do think he would make a cool re-paint of a different character.

You're missing two:

Optimus Prime (Battle Blade repaint) + Comettor (Landmine repaint)
Bumblebee vs. Soundwave + bonus Rodimus (Legion 3-pack)

It's the Target Bumblebee that's translucent.

Ah yes missed those 2.

Anyway, Toy's R' Us also gets a semi translucent The Scan Series Bee.

Walmart's is fully opaque as I said.

Wal-Mart's best movie exclusives were back in '07. Right now it's just regurgitation of ROTF/HFTD molds and I'd rather not bother.

Personally I wasn't disappointed by the DOTM Wal-Mart exclusives. Race car Sideswipe looks fantastic. Optimus gets a decent paint job in truck mode, I mean metallic grill and such. The Comettor/Optimus 2-pack is good for the price of $18; Legends 3-pack comes with a Hot Rod repaint. These provides some incentives at least, better than a 2-pack of the First Encounter with nothing but 2 regular figures.

Just the Deluxes, mind you. The rest were all gift sets of repackaged figures. I want the second wave of that, with Getaway Breakaway, Crankcase and Crasher Fracture.
