    I haven't seen any movie type stuff in ANY WalMart i've been in a several county area. The only place i've seen protoforms is Target. My WM sucks, we still have ALt. Skids on the shelf for crying out loud! I don't even think that we'll get much movie merch, cause i'm in such a crappy town!

    Had a slight hiccup at the register yesterday at WM buying Leader Prime & Voyager SS, but it went without any problems when I went back earlier to pickup Deluxe Jazz & Barricade

    Went to Walmart tonight and I was able to buy a Deluxe with no problem. Gonna go back tomorrow and pick up two more deluxes. No Voyager or Leader class figures there yet though.

    understand

    I understand the ringing out a protoform for the deluxe figures(crafty), but if your going to do that you might as well grab some minicons and do the same thing, I am sorry to say but the people at the door do not check any receipts as long as it is all in a bag.

    If it all said Transformers I say you have no problem.

    They do not even look at your item the one where I live is a crazy old asian bag lady that can not speak English except for the greeting.

    I wish I could have used MegaMoonMan's tip to get the Robot Heroes figures I found today. They had 6 of the first 8, they didn't have Prime vs. Unicron or Jazz vs. Thundercracker, and I spent the time looking for the best ones. The Wal-Mart I went to doesn't have self-checkout and of course they came up as can not sell. I was kind of pissed since they are the only figures coming out for the movie right now that I care about.

    That's OK, I got over it and still got my 2 black 360 controller and play and charge combos for $45.00 each. I will just go somewhere else next Saturday and get them if I still want them. I spent too much today so I don't know if I will still get them.
