Shelves have been bare in the Transformers section of American Walmarts, at least when it comes to Studio Series and Generations. Well, Walmart is changing that. These past few days, we've have sightings from across the country of various new sightings all at Walmart and for a bunch of different lines.

Here's a rundown:

Swapticons two packs found in various states (image below is from California, thanks to Marc Anthony)
Walmart Exclusive Retro Bumblebee and Gears found in California (thanks to Marc Anthony)
Studio Series voyagers Voyager War For Cybertron Ironhide, TFOne Sentinel Prime and Constructicon Scrapper were found at a Walmarts in Florida (thanks to NovaP987)
Studio Series A Level Deluxe Devastation Optimus Prime and TFOne Bumblebee were also found in Florida Walmarts (thanks to NovaP87)
Wave 1 of Age of the Primes Deluxes were found in a Walmart in Missouri (thanks to Gizmodo)

Which of these are you looking most forward to find at retail? And while you may know what to expect from the mainline toys, below we have a video of what exactly is the gimmick for the Swapticons line, in case you are curious.

I checked the 4 closest Walmart stores near me over the past couple days and 2 of them are still choked up with TFOne junk, while the other 2 have cleared out a lot of the TFs via clearances. No new stuff here yet, but I'm sure they're close. I'm most looking forward to the Retro figures and the Constructions. I was gonna get the Aerialbots as well, but the deluxes look so cheap and simple, very inferior to the UW sets. With the money I would end up spending on the new set, I can buy a MISB UW set on eBay and have it shipped from Japan.

The minions found the wave 1 Deluxes for AotP, and I'll be reviewing the three that I commanded them to harvest. Deluxes have moved from 24.99 to 26.99 at Walmarts. That'll be Hasbro and retailers taking advantage of the tariff situation...

That's great news! I'm sure we'll be seeing them soon on Amazon as well. They usually come before the release dates. If my Walmarts will be stocked like this though, so much the better!
Looking forward to the Constructicons, Arielbots, and the Primes. Payday can't come fast enough lol.

It's hard to say they're taking advantage of something they have no choice in causing their costs to go up.

Hasbro was not shy about it, if they pay more they will pass all that on you. And so far that 10% China tariff is the only country specific one that did materialize, and sadly the one that impacts Hasbro most.

Didn't see much aside the new Gears remold. But pegs are empty and waiting for new stuff. I give it another week.

My closest Walmart didn't seem to get the memo yet. Still lots of Transformers One and Studio Series Bumblebee products clogging the shelves. The other Walmart I frequent, which I visited last week, had blowout prices on a lot of Transformers One products but nothing new as of last week.

20%, it got doubled at the beginning of March.

No luck at my local Walmart this morning.

I don't think all the stores reset at the same time, which is an obvious statement, but I guess what I mean is that this could maybe be on purpose. Back when I would actually hunt, it could be a month in between different stores completing resets. No idea of there actually are different designations/priorities for particular stores that determine when they do POG resets, or if some are just more on the ball than others. Probably a little of both.
