if you happen to go back to that walmart before friday may 13th of this week and look at the toy section let me know if you still see warpath or wheeljack or thundercracker and which one are currently left!!! i got someone going out there friday to see if it is still avialable for purchase!!!! i hope so because i really want warpath!!! thank you for all you help and your findings!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You're gonna wanna try to get them out sooner than Friday. There is one Warpath left and 2 each of Thundercracker and Wheeljack. I have a driving route that puts me in 5 Walmarts and a Target everyday. It's a 350 mile round trip (Quad Cities area) and I check those stores every now and then, none of them have these.

@ discharge
all i can do is hope and pray because my pops cant get there untill he gets off work tomorrow after 9pm. =( so hope i can get it.

now i got a question?? would you say that these new generations figures will start to show up together at retail stores with the new dotm toys to??? what is i mean do you think that the store recieve both of these shipments at the same time and only put the generations out because it didnt have a street date on the box. possiably putting generatons out a week earlier than dotm?????
i went walmart today, they said that warpath upc display 19 figure on hand but i didnt see warpath or wheeljack or thundercracker on the shelf!!but they said walmart has eight figures of for this upc on order! so i dont know if there getting some in or not. i think the upc for warpath in an assortment also but i wonder if it is the same as the dotm upc deluxe figures!!!!!!!!!!!

Hasbro have stated that DOTM and Generations would run concurrently, in theory you should see both together in the toy aisle. The issue at the moment is that retailers aren't ordering cases of Generations toys.

DOTM will be huge and the stores want to stock the line with the most public awareness and advertising behind it and unfortunately for us, that isn't Generations. It all comes down to simple economics.

As far as UPC's go, traditionally US figures have always had individual barcodes for each figure within a case, if you still have any MOSC, have a look and you'll see what I mean, i can post some pics of a USA wave compared to a European one later if you want. If your store says they have eight on order, then it is logical to surmise that they are expecting another four cases of that wave.

Hope that helps.

I think Pretender Skywarp is right. I have a feeling Genmerations will run through DOTM as they were the line that none of the stores put on clearance.
I also checked the Walmart in Moline, IL today and they had one each of WP, TC and WJ.

any chance that we will seel the reveal the shield voyagers with a dotm headline???? because im really like lugnuts and grapple!!!!!!!! but if i had to chose one i choose lugnuts! yeah i know he is on hts but i dont want to pay for shipping!!!!!!! so have u seen a lugnuts?????? i will know to night if i will have a warpath my pops will let me know tonight if he gets one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!i really hope so!

Highly unlikely that RTS repacks will be seen IMO, I strongly recommend paying for the shipping with HTS than paying after market prices on eBay. Don't forget that RTS was part of the "2010 umbrella" and was itself a continuation of HFTD, which was the "sequel" to ROTF, even though the lines between RTS and G'ations were blurry to say the least.

I would suggest that Hasbro consider themselves done with RTS, hence the last wave of scouts being pulled, or all if you are you're side of the pond. Get that Lugnut now or kick yourself later.

How much do HTS charge for shipping anyway?

I would keep an eye on Hasbrotoyshop.com. They often have coupons, like Thursday's Cinco de Mayo free shipping for orders over $25. (Sign up for their mailing list to be notified of coupons.) I ordered Lugnut and the Generations classics Legends 4-pack that day. They weren't in stock at the time but they said they would ship by 5/30. Turned out they've just shipped in the past two days. So, if you sign up for their mailing list to get coupons and check the website regularly, you might get lucky.

My local Wal Mart refuses to get rid of all the Mudflaps and Tuner Mudflaps that are taking up space. Autobot Gears is taking up space, too. What a pain.

I doubt it will be just Walmart, but nowadays you never can tell. If you want me to pick one up for you next time I see one I can do that. I won't work till Monday though, so we gotta get lucky that the other ones I've seen don't get snatched up. They might end up at your Walmart before too long. Let me know.

Well, DOTM has taken over at Wal-mart and Target in Columbia, MD. No sign of any new Reveal the Shield or Generations figures in inventory.

Wal-Mart had a normalish stock in the aisle, with a stock of more Voyagers on an end display, with no less than 21 Optimus Primes on it. Meanwhile the aisle had 23 Deluxe Bumblebees. Yikes. You can tell which ones they're betting will sell well. No other character even came close in count to those two.

Target had a regular shelf display but no end display as far as I could see. They had more of the kiddie toys than Walmart. Also Target is calling Cyberverse "Megaverse."

Prices at Target were MSRP. Prices at Walmart were 2 cents less, except the Voyagers which were $18.77.
