Wal-Mart's ROTF Release dates Wrong

Seibertron.com member Immortal Starscream shares some sad info regarding the release dates of the Transformers Revenge of The Fallen toyline.
Ok, nobody likes bad news, but unfortunately I have some and I have to share it. Not only does my walmart not have the preview figs, but most here in Austin apparently don't. So I researched Soundwaves UPC and item code, and heres what I found out:

The Transformers Movie Preview figs are currently in the Wal-mart computers listed as having THE SAME RELEASE DATE as the rest of the figs. Not only that, but according to our systems (I triple checked this with my telzan) the transformers movie toys sale lock out doesn't turn off until the May 31 instead of the 30 as marked on the boxes.

Ive been wondering WTF?! with wal marts toys lately. We never got the 25th anniversary turtles, when we were supposed to back in February, we only just now got terminator toys, which have been out in all other retail chains for over a month, we stopped receiving GI Joe way back in January, and many of the newer action figure lines that have come out in recent months have ever made it to the wal mart shelves. I've been meaning to talk to my regional director about this, but my emails have not been returned yet.

I will keep you guys and gals posted as I learn more.

Stay tuned to seibertron.com for all your Transformers related news!

Well that IS pretty stupid...But I'm certainly not going to cry about because I pretty much stopped buying TFs from Walmart back when they suddenly became the most expensive place to get them...I was going to look at Target or Toys R Us anyway...

And I don't even really care if the preview figs come out with the rest or if everything comes out a day late because a) of the two previews, I only want Soundwave so it's just ONE more figure to wait for and b) even though I want a lot of the movie toys and I'm looking forward to them, I'm not at ALL worried about getting ahold of them because I know there will be absolutely no shortage of them...So I'm just not interested in killing myself trying to get everything the exact day it comes out...They won't be going anywhere for a long time...

That's just me though :)
