In Hand Images and Reviews of Deluxes from Walmart G2 Line

Ah, so we have a weapon for Buzzworthy Hound in a redecorate before we even have Buzzy Hound.

These decos are so terrible they are intriguing, but I am only really interested in Dead End
Maybe “Sunset” Sideswipe or Laser Cycle if on sale.

I have zero faith for my Walmart to have these in store.

I have my Toxitron preordered, but Sideswipe have yet to appear on the site. That's the only other one that I want.

They haven't appeared on the US site either. They might appear today as Walmart is having another collector con

That would be nice, though it also sounds like it might be Friday:

Yeah, got notices for Cloudcover, Toxitron and Jazz, they've been dated for 7/21.

Weird that Neither Pulse nor Walmart ever took pre-orders on the rest of the figures.

I can't find it now, but late last night i saw that the rest of the wave will be revealed at SDCC and put up on Pulse/Walmart for direct order.

Says the man posting in a thread titled "Walmart Exclusive G2 Themed Line Revealed".

No, no, no. I clicked on the picture of the G2 yellow Dinobot, to be fair. I tend to ignore the "Whoever Exclusive" part of any thread title. Even Amazon, with their Franchised "pass the buck" BS. Because it is meaningless to anyone outside the US.

Laser Cycle: very tempted
Sideswipe: tempted
Mirage: mildly tempted
Dead End: mildly tempted (give us Breakdown!)
Jazz: not so tempted

... I'm gonna wait for Clearance because I'm such a cheapskate

Ironically referred to as "Jazzercize" in some cases.

The US is first at being able to make the following statement: all toys from the exclusive Unreleased G2 line (aka Toxitron line) have been found at retail. Of course, it may not be instantaneous for every location, but now is definitely the time to check at your local Walmart. For a quick recap, Grimlock was found first, followed by Cloudcover over the week-end. The deluxes were found in the beginning of the week and now we have multiple sightings of Toxitron also being found. And that coincides with Toxitron shipping from Hasbro Pulse as well. Based on what we know is in this line (both announced and unannounced), this is the entire line.

We have video reviews for you below if you want to know more of these toys before getting them. The ones without listings, like Grimlock, are said to be available for preorder this Friday from both Walmart and Pulse, as they will be revealed as part of SDCC.

In terms of case contents, it seems the leader and Cloudcover are shipped in solid cases (so all the same toy in each case) but for the the deluxes, it is a pack of 8 and Sideswipe and Dead End are shortpacked while the others come 2 per case.

Mirage, Sideswipe, Laser Cycle, Dead End and Jazz (in their unreleased G2 decos) were all found at a Walmart in Salt Lake City, Utah, by yours truly. After picking up Jazz, Mirage, and Dead End, it looks like the rumors of Dead End and Sideswipe being shortpacked are true. There were 2 each of Jazz, Mirage, and Laser Cycle, and one each of Sideswipe and Dead End, making any potential G2 Menasor harder to complete.



This sighting leaves only Toxitron himself, and Voyager Cloudcover as the remaining figures in this line not yet sighted in the U.S.

Are you looking forward to finding these figures in your local Walmart? Let us know what you think below!

Which Walmart?! I'm in Salt Lake too!

1300 South and 3rd West. I went in a day later, and the box was still on a pallet. Checked inside and there were only 2 Laser Cycles, 1 Jazz and 1 Mirage left.

Now, to monitor Walmart.ca like a hawk for w2 listings.

FYI, these are all in the same wave, there is no wave 2

Is there a reason why Sideswipe and Mirage were never listed on Walmart.ca?

Yes, because they were never revealed officially. It's the same on Pulse and Walmart.com
They should be listed this Friday

I'm mildly optimistic. For Velocitron, I was able to spot Clampdown on a couple of occasions. Cosmos was nigh impossible to find because it was not only shortpacked, but also a brand new mold and highly desirable.

Dead End being the only one of this lot I want...Yes being shortpacked is a challenge, but the fact that all of these are repaints, and not one of them is really "brand new" gives me some slight hope of finding one in the wild. If Walmart does do online pre-orders I'll try it, but nothing yet that I've seen.
