It had a boy saying "Autobot... Transform"... "Autobot... Transform", then the boy's mother said something to the fact that the car they were driving in wasn't really a Transformer, but they were on the way to Walmart where they could find some very special Transformers.
Then the radio announcer mentioned about the Bumblebee three pack, and the other Walmart exclusive Transformers.
So... I kinda expected that Walmart having this radio ad and all would have been more on the spot about rolling out this pallet full of exclusives.
Anyone else here this radio ad? |

I went through the entire side of the pallet when I went back to Wal-Mart this morning after picking up everyone but Divebomb last night (and what I thought was everyone but Divebomb and Jolt) and couldn't find a single Jolt! Kind of funny how he's going to be the rare one of the group, apparently. | |

Remember there was a listing that just had Grindcore, Big Daddy, & Divebomb for Universe? I bet this is it.. even though it's movie...

#127 | | David Kronman Join Date: Jul 2002 Posts: 13,446 Location: I'm in ur internets Collection Count: 710 News Credits: 1 | I just found these this morning. Surprised, we usually get things a good month or two later than everywhere else.
Looks like the quality control is suspect. I saw a lot of iffy paint jobs in the packages. Even after carefully picking the best looking ones, my Breakaway's car roof/back pack won't stay attached, and Fracture's face has sloppy paint 
Ah well. At least I found em quick. Sucks that these showed up so fast and I'm still looking for crap like Galvy/Acid Storm though
Didn't buy Crankcase this go round, he's my least favorite of the molds so I might be able to resist him, but we'll see.

Kind of funny how he's going to be the rare one of the group, apparently. | Not sure if Jolt's even in this wave. He was quite the shelf warmer the last time they original 4 were released. And when I say shelf-warmer I mean he was the only one I saw of the bunch at like 5 WM's and he went pretty quickly after that.
People in Washington are finding that entire cases are being relieved of their Fractures and put up on eBay. Weak sauce

#129 | | Classic Join Date: Dec 2002 Posts: 5,002 Location: Warren, OH | So... I wonder if all of the Wal-Marts put them out today. I'm trying to decide whether it's worth a trip there this morning before my wife goes to work....
