    I picked up another bumblebee just now. Still no luck finding Outback. He’s the last one I need. I saw one Devastator and what’s left of a case of Hot Rod. Starscream seems to be the one I’ve seen the in frequently.

    It could be for a number of reasons. Walmart has been horribly inconsistent at which orders get filled and which get canceled, blaming geographically-dependent-to-the-buyer fulfillment centers, stock errors, and other things for the cancellations, none of which make a lick of sense.

    It's also possible that they got back some damaged items that people returned that they're reselling, which recently came in stock after they canceled your order (for whatever reason).

    Most likely, however, it's just because they suck.

    The good news is I got my Devastator finally. The very last one at Walmart.

    The bad news is there's a rip on the side of the picture.

    Would it still be worth something or does the rip effect it's value. If so, I might return it and wait for a better one.

    If you just want to display or play with them I would not bother. If you're a MISB kind of guy, every rip and tear HURTS! Would not effect afterprice I think.

    For these pieces I would want it minty when I buy it. Think you have a 90 day return, I would hang onto it until you can get one with a minty box.

    I don't mind if my MISB stuff gets damaged--- so long as I'm the one that accidentally damages it. :confused:  :p

    On the upside (I guess), the frequency of inexcusable damage means they can't really be scalped. Even rippers demand pristine C10+ boxes to rip apart.

    Very nice! I hope to do this too if I can track down a Walmart Devy and happen to catch Arthur Burghardt at a future show. Post this if you can in the "Show off your autographs" thread!

    All my G1 stuff is in storage, but just going through my BBTS order history... I did order this 3rd party monstrosity for my Encore 20 G1 Devy years ago. :eek:  What was I thinking, and paying 49.99 for it. :p 

    God I hope 2011 Huntergreen2005 didn't pop MixMaster's cement mixer off for a 3rd party part.

    :lol  Okay, now that's funny. Cruel, but funny.

    Also... HOLY DAMN! One of my Bees was cancelled... but one shipped! From when it said 2 left! Lol. Assuming it's in decent shape at all, I'm done, satisfied, and happy. And hopefully never have to deal with Walmart again in this manner. :lol 

    Current stats for me:
    5/19 shipped (Two Hot Rods, 1 each of Bee, Outback, and Devastator.)
    1 pending (A Tailgate I randomly tried for.)
    13/19 canceled (A mixture of Tailgate, Swerve, Bee, & Outback.)
    13/16 minibots canceled (Only minibots have been canceled for me.)

    Success rate: 26%
    Minibot success rate: 12%

    So yeah, done finally. (Never wanted ALL the releases, just one each of both factions, and at least one minibot, especially Bee.) Done...







    ... Unless they reissue Astrotrain, Kup, Wreck-Gar, Octane, or Power Master Optimus Prime. Those are the others I would be willing to put myself through this for, as they make up idyllic Christmas morning memories. :lol  Anything else though, I shall pass.
