Walmart Toxitron Collection G2 Grimlock Sighted at US Walmart

Hot off the sighting of Toxitron Collection G2 Deluxe figures at a Canadian Walmart we also have our first sighting of a Leader G2 Grimlock at a Walmart in Florida by a TFW member. Thanks to Nemesis Primal for letting us know as well as photos from both sets of sightings.

Nemesis Primal wrote:Apparently as of yesterday the Deluxe wave is out in Canada, seems like Dead End and Sideswipe are the shortpacked ones based off Robot Kingdom's case breakdown and in-store availability:


And on top of that, a TFW user bruteslayer101 found G2 Grimlock in Florida, looks like the IDW head on the box art was not indicative of the actual figure:






So I guess the hunt is on for those looking for these?

I always struggled to appreciate G2 colors back in the day, but some of these toys manage to look even worse than the original ones IMHO.

There are lots of lookalike characters that could benefit by the release of a modern toy (well, maybe it's not Grimlock's specific case, but bear with me), why waste time and resources on these?

Almost all of these are decos that never got released during G2. Hasbro believed that we want these unreleased decos and it gives Walmart "leading name" characters like Jazz, Mirage, and Grimlock that they can market because their marketing people still support that th[facebook][/facebook]at is important to the casual tf buyer.

Rumor is that Dead End and Sideswipe are shortpacked. So yet again the Combiner dude is gonna be hard as he'll to find :BANG_HEAD:

He's not G2, he's G1.

And Walmart stores don't stock Titans.

And he wasn't an unreleased redeco.

If anyone decides to do a part swap with the translucent yellow neck on this and the gold on the 86 release to make a G1 accurate toy put up a post!

I just got an email from Hasbro Pulse saying my preorder for Toxitron Collection Cloudcover will ship soon.

Well that didn't take long. After the Toxitron Leader Class G2 Grimlock was found at U.S. retail, we now have a confirmed sighting of the Deluxe Class figures from the same line! 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!

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 MUST have that Grimlock, though I wish they had more of those metallic tiger strips going up his back. If I can mix that colour myself, I may just add them personally. :D

1) Huh? Given the colour scheme. I never realised he wasn't G2. :-?

2) I don't know/care what a Walmart is? But, to be honest, I think Spreem would be better suited as a redeco/retool of Tarn.

3) I know that. I was just getting my hopes up that with all the weird and wacky of G2 coming out, for some reason. That Spreem might end up among them.

Wacky pastel colors go back as far as 1988 when a whole bunch of Easter-colored pink/purple/teal Decepticons were released that year.

And G2 never had any Action Masters.

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

I found 3 Voyager G2 Cloudcovers at my local Walmart today. So he is out there in the US as well.

There has been of news concerning the Walmart Exclusive G2 Themed Line. The deluxes, leader (Grimlock) and voyagers were found in the US all of a sudden. For those wanting all the info you can on these toys and their special decos, we have in hand images below. We also have video reviews comparing them to previous decos/molds along with a look at the box art.
The rest of the wave should be up for pre-order shortly. Please be aware that Sideswipe and Dead End are shortpacked while the others come 2 per case.

I just realized, Mirage's colors make him kinda look like he's wearing Constructicon colors.

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

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.

Comment by Emerje Jul 18, 2023
Baffles me why Walmart thought Lasercycle was worthy of being 2 per case over a popular character like Sideswipe and a Combiner member. Not surprising mind you, not after the stuff they did in Velocitron, but still baffling.
