On CLEARANCE? I haven't even SEEN the damn thing!
RRRgh.
This is what I hate about store exclusives. They're either oversturated or impossible to find. Feast or famine. And lately, it's been way too much famine. Devastator, the first Alternators I've actually really wanted since Meister was out the first time, and ESPECIALLY Soundwave... Why can I not find things?

Well that's no suprise. Everyone was really upset that Hasbro pulled the plug on the Classics the way they did and we already have the mold from ENergon.

everybody needs to calm down. this clearance price is only for that store, this is not a markdown that will be effective in every store. As of right now they are still 30 in my store. And just because you havent seen them in your store does not mean that your store doesnt have them, they could be saving them for movie time. my store has had them in the back for a couple of months at least, and they just put them out about a week ago, (to go along with the protoforms on a display). So, dont give up hope.

Thats great, I'm still waiting to see this at all. Not that I want it, but as much as I'm on this site, I've found a sense of satisfaction in seeing rumored product hit the shelves.

I try not to go into Wal-mart if at all possible. As such I forget about the exclusives. Not that i care at all about this one. I just put Constructicon Maximus in the Classics display and thats good enough for me. Colors not perfect but I'm hardly over interested in paying $25 for a more accurate color scheme. Especially if I have to enter a Wal-mart to do it.

the lowered price hasn't changed my mind about not buying this set. seriously, enough repaints of non-stellar figures.

yeah seriously this toy sucks complete ass. people dont like devastator/constructicons from anything but the G1 age. they need to reissue more stuff than just soundwave for the classics range.

5$ off? That's hardly "on clearance"
Besides, I've never even seen the set in person...
Seacon repaints?

Well I found them today at the Jackson, MI WalMart for $19.00. I bought this one for ionacus.

It is obvious, but I don't mind paying alittle mark up if the figures are that scarce, I just accept it as the nature of the beast. Same thing with wasting time and gas, it happens, but it usually pays off more often than not, except when I'm dealing with WM.
The main point of my post is how unprofessionally these things are handled by WM, that when something is adverstised as an exclusive, it somehow never gets to the shelves around here. I never seem to have that problem with other retailers.

Until that shit company learns to distribute stock properly,(and quite letting the dealers come in and buy them right off of the pallets, so they never even see shelf time)I am personally boycotting WM Exclusives. Hell, I'll even pay the ridiculous mark-up that the online dealers are asking, rather than to go to the same store numerous times and never once see them.
I dealt with this same crap with the WM Giant-Man MLs, I'm done with WM Exclusives.
Just to point out what should be obvious here, you're adding to the same problem you're complaining about. by supporting online dealers or any other second or third party for exclusives is letting a scalper take your money from you at a mark up. You could always try Wal-mart.com or check your local sightings forums. They give you a better idea of what's out than just driving around and wasting money, time and gas.
