So I was just in the local WalMart making my bi-weekly rounds hoping for an 08 BB and I come to the toy section and... nothing. No deluxes whatsoever; no place for deluxes anywhere on the shelves. The spot where they've been for the past couple of months is now Fantastic Four crap. What gives?
I noticed a week or two ago that the big displays had been taken down, but until today the TF section was still there. How's everyone else's local store looking? Should I scratch WalMart off my list?
WalMart not carrying movie line?

I was at Wal-Mart yesterday and it was the same as always. The one near me is getting the new wave in as I picked up Arcee.

Weird, my Wal-Mart has nothing *but* Movie toys and the Real World Gear. And then like Barricade said, a ton of SpiderMan3 stuff that hasn't moved yet and is probably destined for the clearance racks.

More than likely they are doing an aisle reset. Check back in a few days and things should be rearranged.

Mine are dragging their feet. Likely they won't order anything new for a few months and then they will sit on all the old stuff again like they did for the past couple of lines.
Target has been the only store to be reliable on getting new product on the shelves on the release time.
Does anyone know when the next wave comes out? hopefully not for a month or two to give a chance for my stores here to actually get the current wave.

My Wal-Marts still have the displays up and fully stocked. I was told at Target that Target's displays would be changed on the 28. Maybe Wal-Mart is doing the same?

Guys,
Here in North Phoenix, AZ, I just went to Target, Toys R Us, AND Wal-Mart during my lunch break. NONE of these three stores had ANY transformers other than the Battle Chargers and a few Real Gears! If I wasn't in a hurry, I would have asked what was going on in each store. I couldn't find any movie toys near me that I don't already have! Now I can't find any at all!

Well at my Walmart they broke it up into 3 sections, one right before the toy aile and 2 in the toy alie, one on one side and one on the other. Nothing new, just Unleashed BB those slammer thing's and tons of Real Gear stuff. But I did find a Arcee yestarday!!
Same with TOYS"R"US nothing new there either, only that one Robot Replica I got on sat. and no real gear at all. Went looking for Soundwave reissuse(knew I should of pick him up last week
) and no more there....

I was at one walmart today and all they had were a few FABs and the small guys. They've been that way for almost a month now. Im heading to another one tomorrow but when i was there a few weeks ago all they had were the barricade/bumblebee 2 pack and a few deluxe guys. Im thinking that either hasbro is laking with the shipments or walmart doesnt care. Target and TRU are getting the same way. It takes 2-3 weeks for them to get restocked and when they do theres not much.

I went to Walmart last week ,and almost all of the tf stuff was gone. The people bought them all quick. The lady that worked there told me that they will be restocking soon. The other walmarts will be restocking soon as well I guess.

My local Targets haven't gotten new stock in close to two weeks now. The shelves are completely empty, except for a handful of FABs and the smaller guys.
I've pretty much abandoned all hope of finding an 08 BB locally. I'll have to hope one of my friends lucks out in another town.

I checked about 3 Walmarts over the weekend and all the same thing, plenty of movie line toys, but very little selection...mostly Bonecrushers and Swindle.
Target on the other hand is pretty awesome, I've managed to get almost all the movie line toys so far from them. Plus they have the scout class, so just another reason to buy there. I still need an 08 BB though just like you guys

My local Walmarts are filled with TF Movie toys. Thankful for it to since I picked up Voyager OP and Megs from there.

One of the walmarts i went to had some of the new figures but not many. They had 2 arcees. 2 08 bumblebees. and 2 dreadwings. They also had the replica guys. They had Prime,Megatro,barricade and bumblebee. 2 of each. I think they only got a case of the deluxe and replicas because every thing else was the same. The 2nd walmart i was at had nothing still. Just the Barricade BB 2 pack and a few deluxes from wave 1. Also TRU took down the big display for the movie. Im guessing the movie has lost some of its hype.

I haven't looked since I bought Swindle. I've got like 4 more figures that I really plan on getting. I kinda hope wal-mart still has them, because it's easier to buy from them than from anywhere else and I wanna at least get 08 Bumblebee.
My vote for the HOF goes to my favorite Transformer, Kup, to the Headmasters (who still need new figures that aren't just the characters without their master components) and to seibertron.com for for being the ultimate TF resource.

It's been slim pickings around here. I admittedly don't check very often but it's clear that that they haven't been restocking. The Meijers I shop at as had the same stock for like a month. Barely anything there except for a few Ironhides and Starscreams. No deluxe toys whatsoever.
The Toys'R'Us near here is the same way. They now just have maybe 15 Protoform Starscreams and 1 Wreckage with a few voyagers. I also don't see ANY Leader toys anymore. Like, I was tripping over these damn things weeks and now there's none to be found anywhere. I noticed the prices on Amazon\eBay are like $60 now so I guess that answers that question.
I'm going to have to wait until September to pick up the other figures I want (Voyager Prime, 08 Bumblebee, and Arcee) so I hope I don't miss the boat and miss my chance to ever get them.
