    Went to my local wal mart today just to buy coke. I swung by the toy section and the barren wasteland was transformed into a transformers mecca. This is the most transformers I've seen there in 6 years. Lol. At least 20 each of all 3 G1 reissues, new potp, cyberverse and bee movie toys. I nearly wet my pants. Lol. Got my ss and devy!

    So, before the non-Minibots dropped, I figured that they were not showing up, partially due to Seibertron's news on the subject and partially due to the extreme lag and ongoing BS from Walmart preorders. Looked like a total idiot for saying they'll never show up, but hey, it happens. In fact, Hot Rod and Starscream finally showed up in droves at a nearby Walmart last week! Anyways, my point is be patient. Don't feed the scalper market, unless you want an older reissue or the OG Minibots (then it's the aftermarket...market). Just wait and see.

    Exactly why I bought a double. For my babies.

    Didn't realize they sold that now! I'll have to stop calling my guy now. He won't be happy but I'll save $ with walmart.

    there's a big difference between the non-minibots and the minibots though. all signs are pointing to the minibots not coming. there hasn't been more than a few minibots coming instock online in forever. end of the year release, coupled with a movie coming out, coupled with it being a walmart exclusive. doesn't look good.

    Hasbro won't do that since this set is out. Yes i meant single as well exactly what i said. It's not going to happen cause of this set. Oh,...... and your missing the brackets on the word (quote) when you quote. So look for that when you do as someone said before to your quotes before your not doing it right.

    I’m sure this has been discussed, but does the Walmart reissue Devastator take the “original” or “ko” CrazyDevy forearms? Just located a set at my local WalMart and plan on upgrading. Want to make sure I get the correct kit. TIA.

    I read somewhere that there’s a difference or similarity to the original, can’t remember which one now and can’t find where I saw this. Apparently Crazy Devy make two different kits for such. I just don’t know which kit I need for this particular (Walmart)release; original or KO Kit.

    I ordered a hotrod online and after hearing it slide around in the box was expecting the worst, but it was in perfect condition

    "Accidentally?" You know somebody intentionally did that.

    I've been debating on whether or not to grab another Devy if I see one just to keep one in the box. Thing is, my local Walmart is such a hit or miss often store. I don't even like stopping in because I feel like I'm wasting time and gas just to see a barren wasteland of a transformers section and a bunch of swap-outs for Marvel Legends.

    I wasn't going to do that but when I went back to the store they still had a bunch and I couldn't resist. So now I have a set in box and can display the other in front of the box. Did the same thing for Starscream.

    Don't get the KO kit. The Walmart reissue is more or less the Encore reissue with some very minor tooling differences. Ben Yee does a good review of it on bwtf.com.

    My friend and I are hoping there's a holiday BB movie pallet drop coming that will be loaded with the Minibots. Fingers crossed.

    Normally, I hate pallet drops...they hold up product by flooding inventory. Stores love them because the "cost to retail" is especially low. But after they've been on the floor for a while, leftovers head back into the storeroom as backstop and just sits there for several months at a time.

    But damn, I'd do the happy dance if the Minicars were included...

    Yeah, I know. It's the rest of the product that will bilk inventory control.
