Yeah, the Wave 1 Velocitron toys sat unsold on the pegs in excess for the longest time, and now it feels like Walmart finally cleared them out to make room for the ROTB mainline toys, only for those toys to continue sitting unsold on the pegs in excess, leaving no room left for the Toxitron Collection.o.supreme wrote:Went to the East Bay this weekend and checked out several Walmarts I've not been to in years. There's been no sign of these anywhere within a hundred miles of me, I'm pretty sure.

I keep getting told by others (for instance) that an abundance of Buzzworthy Product at Target ISN'T the reason they have very little standard Gen Legacy because it's supposed to be on seperate pegs/shelf space. Of course I've always felt differently, but I'm always told I'm wrong so... .
If getting Toxitron at Walmart is dependant on clearing out enough space from RoTB product, then that's never going to happen...at least in my area, that merch isn't moving and there's so much of it.

Totally agree, he should have been done at least in Selects a long time ago. It's weird they did Ramjet and not Starscream first.

- grey wings instead of (off-)white
- grey tail fins instead of blue
- blue canopy instead of dark grey
Compared to that G2 Ramjet was much more distinct.

They probably haven't yet, like pretty much all the Walmarts in my area. If the RotB stuff has to move to make room for the G2 line...its going to be a long wait, to possibly never before they show up.
