G1 Transformers Warpath and Gears Reissues found at US Walmart

Posted by william-james88 Jan 27, 2019 at 8:49pm CST 26,332 views
Well that was quick. We have news that Transformers G1 Hasbro reissues of minibots Gears and Warpath have been found at retail. Reddit user Webzphotomania found then at a Utah Walmart. They were priced at $7.86. The only other minibots present were the ones from the previous wave, meaning that Gears and Warpath are not packed with any other minibot we did not know of yet.

If you have found them, share your sightings with our community in the sightings section and on our boards in your region related thread.

Out of all the G1 reissues we know so far that are coming out this year, the only one left to appear is Soundwave so let us know if ever you find him.

I hope they do a limited restock of the first wave, I still need Outback. Definitely want these two figures, especially Warpath.

I have yet to find a Bumblebee, but it's great that these are getting reissued ;)^

Besides, nothing will ruin my day. I just got TR Overlord from Marshall's for 13$ and I love him :x

Don’t just check in the aisle. I was at a Walmart Friday and didn’t see anything new and was leaving only to turn around and saw a Bumblebee drop bin with all wave one minibots. Snagged 2 Bees and an Outback. I remember getting outback as a present when I was 4 so he had a lot of sentimental value. Honestly I think he’s the only minibot I had when I was a kid till G2 started and I got G2 Bee

Interesting. Does this same store have shelf space set aside in the Transformers section or was this the only place they made room for them? One of my local Walmarts had the big movie display with these and now has four pegs set aside for them (currently containing two leftover Swerves) while the other Walmart never got the display or the figures and doesn't have peg space set aside. I didn't notice a bin when I was there Sunday but maybe I should have looked harder?

Walmart’s are currently doing new mod sets and the transformers section is pretty big now.

Both of my Walmarts have done their resets. The one with the Mini-Bots has a large TF section, but the one that doesn't got a small section. And it's odd because the latter store is supposed to be the flagship store for the area right in the capital, yet the toy department as a whole is pretty small. Especially after they removed an entire aisle last year for clearance space only to turn it into seasonal overflow this year and then take another toy aisle this year for new clearance space. *shrug*

aaaah warpath.. have him from when I was a kid.. had gotten him of an older kid who was selling his toys in a classified ad...

his barrel was chipped so maybe this is a good excuse to replace him. Use to love using him to defend metroplex as he was the only minibot I had besides scamper and scramble city limbs...

The minibots were also in one of drop bins at my local store, at least when they were first stocked. The leftovers from that are making their way to isle, but those are slim pickings.

I wish I'd know that Hot Rod would be a self warmed. I saw him on clearance at one of the walmarts for $7.00

I have also found Hot Rod down to $7 at Wal-mart. I keep hoping to run across a Devastator for about $25. Stranger things have happened. :DANCE:

Where are you, and what Walmarts do you speak of? All of the Walmarts I ghost for TFs across two counties and four municipalities have Transformers sections that are about two pegs wide, with the voyagers/leaders six feet away under Star Wars toys. Of course, that's only if they actually have any in stock and all of the pegs read for the Siege line.

I'm starting to switch to Targets now since they're at least keeping pegs for Studio Series.

My local Walmart decided to place the minibots with the diecast cars. The Hotwheels and such.

Weird...

No luck for me tonight with Walmart. Worse yet, it’s apparently one of the “two columns only” configurations for all of their Transformers toys.

Found them in Pasco, Wa today. The upc didn't come up when scanned. I grabbed the last Gears but left Warpath. Looks to be packed with Bumblebee and Swerve.

With Transformers G1 Soundwave being rereleased at Walmart this year, everyone hoped that would also mean a rerelease of his cassettes. Well, now we have confirmation that it’s happening. We found images on the Snakas blog of two packs each having two cassettes. One pack comes with Ravage and Rumble (in Red) and the other comes with Laserbeak and Frenzy (in Blue). This is the very first rerelease of Frenzy and Rumble by Hasbro, so quite the occasion. All we know for the release date is sometime in 2019, but as we saw with Optimus Prime that sometime could be tomorrow. So keep your eyes peeled. We also have no confirmation on the price.

Yes! :BOWDOWN: Hopefully each pack will be 10$ or something. I would buy them all with Soundwave if that's the case.

Awesome! That's perfect! I have Rumble, Ravage, and Buzzsaw.
Will definitely pick up Frenchy and Lazerbird! ;)^

I'd be shocked if they're under $20 each.


Well that is exciting news that's bad for my wallet. Might have to jump at SW and his minions now.

So does this finally solve the 30 year old debate about which color is Frenzy and which color is Rumble :-D :HEADHURTS:
