There is definitely something up with those exclusive G1 reissues at Walmart. We posted a few days ago that the Walmart app listed all the G1 Transformers reissues as only being available online (which can always change) and since then there has been a lot of talk about the online ordering process at Walmart, including many frustrating stories. We wanted to share some with you just so that you were are of the current issues with online orders for these reissues and that if it has happened to you, you are not alone.
Here are a few testimonies:

Your Order Has Been Canceled.

Thanks for your recent order. We're really sorry, but the items shown below are out of stock. Since we don't know when we'll get them in again, we've canceled the items from your order and won't charge you for them.

After getting "your order has been delayed" emails throughout August I finally got the cancellation email for the Devastator set. I'm expecting the rest of my orders to be cancelled as well (I ordered all but Hot Rod). I expect I won't be the only one with this problem but I wanted to give you a heads up. Typical Walmart service.
It gets weirder, here are two subsequent quotes from fellow Seibertronian NYCPrime:
A lot of people have gotten delay/cancellation emails. My SS was cancelled but I placed an order for 2 last week that is delayed. As a precaution, I ordered 2 more. My Devy is on back order but my friend said his was cancelled. Walmart is the absolute worst. I really wish Amazon did all exclusives.
...........
So they cancelled my original SS order. I placed one last week as a backup, and that is backordered. But the second backup I ordered this morning? Preparing to ship... Can't make this stuff up.
So it seems that while some orders are being cancelled, others are shipping out. Feel free to discuss your frustrations on our boards and let us know if your orders come through. And, of course, when they do come in, let us know your thoughts on the figures.
Hopefully all this mess clears up and you get the toys you want either delivered to your door or even found in stores, if that comes to pass.
