That’s only happened once though. While Christmas shopping the past two weeks I picked up a hot rod a couple times and took it to a scanner and every time he was full price.
I know people are expecting this guy to be dropped in price but it’s more than likely not going to happen. Hot rod dropped ONCE and now he’s a shelf warmer while Devastator and Starscream and even the minibots have constantly sold out. That will probably happen with this.

It will depend on the demand/supply.
Look like they underproduced Devy and Screamers, but overproduced Hot Rod.
As for the minibots, they keep being restocked. I do hope their popularity will bring more in the future.

But would you buy a yellow Hound with a Bumblebee head?

Honestly, that would be freaking awesome!

Also, how accurate is brickseek for stuff like this?
They were in the yellow Bumblebee displays in the action alleys but our Walmarts have moved them to the pegs in the TF section. Some people have reported finding them around electronics.Hellscream9999 wrote:EvasionModeBumblebee wrote:Just checked another Walmart, had a million of G1 Hot Rod but no minibots.

Also the WM app is not accurate when it comes to stock. I've seen them at several stores that reports "out of stock". Brick seek probably won't do ya any good.

Gotcha. Thanks Hellscream and Cary! The hunt for G1 Bumblebee continues.
