Feel free to discuss anything about any of the thousands of Transformer toys here. Anything from Generation 1 all the way to the soon to be released, the never to be released or the hope to be released is fair game! Want to show off your stuff?

I've visited 6 locations in my area, plus 2 occasional locations out of town in the past couple of months, and the transformers section is bare as can be. They haven't even bothered in restocking any of the current waves out. Is anyone else experiencing this too? I remember Walmart always being the first place to go to for my transformers, unless I'm hunting a Target or TRU exclusive, of course. Now it's the last place for me to check. Can anyone fill me in on what's going on?

I think they're waiting for Black friday to clear things out before they stock new stuff.

Noticed that around me to. Their stock has been rather pathetic this year. Most of the PRID nad Bot Shot figures I own came from Target.

The walmarts here have plenty of PRID and Prime cyberverse, but suck anyway because A LOT of it is not properly scanned into inventory so isnt able to be sold

Because Wal-Mart is the head of the Bumblebee Empire. It's a conspiracy.

That's the funny thing with these walmarts around here- there aren't even any bumblebees on the shelf, well with one exception- a lonely powerizer sitting there.

Same here. The only two deluxes (as of yesterday) at my Walmart are Vehicon and Ratchet, lol. Meanwhile, 200 feet away, Target has a very well-stocked section, sporting plenty of...whatever wave had Hot Shot. =_=
Oh, and two whole pegs of FoC Prime and Jazz.
Old fasioned games!
And new fashioned friends!
Come on everybody this is Ta-ble Flip!

They may be negotiating terms on new stock, depending how much of their budget they've allocated etc.

Yep. I got a Kup and two Vehicons, which turned into three Kups on the receipt because the Vehicons weren't in the system. Although they came from the same case.
WM always holds back new merch till after big sales to drum out the old stuff. Nothing new really.

I know from a guy who works at my local target that they are scurrying to get toys in because of higher demand this year. So perhaps wally world is having similar problems.

Every Walmart I've been to in the last 6 months or so has been like this. Most are still sitting on DOTM stock and haven't bothered with anything new. I've just about given up on even searching retail stores for toys anymore.

i know ours is getting in new stock its just the same stock each time -mostly bumblebee -seriously we do not need that many the wave 1 foc jazz prime and shockwave and a lot of the small crappy figures and botshots -we have gotten recently dreadwing i snapped that one up becuase its a great figure -but other wise i still haven't seen a change in stock same with target they have had the same stock for months now -i already bought the ratchet they had and the one knockout the walmart had -give me something - i really want a sargent kup so i can repaint it into something more interesting -though ive been thinking of doing that to the bumblebees because there are a lot of them and his face is kinda clueless looking might make good drones
