The open all night WM stores usually wheel their pallets out late at night for the isle heads to stock. Before the stockers get in, the pallet guys wheel in the stuff from the back, at which time the plundering begins...scalpers will tear into the shrink wrap and take whole cases before the heads are around to chase them away (the pallet guys could care less, they'll even help you shred the shrink-wrap). I used to go late night, but the scalpers are a$$holes that I just don't care to deal with. |

The Hasbro guys at Botcon hinted that these (and Big Daddy's group) would be eventually repackaged for Universe later on.
Either way, they're being added to my Classics shelf.
Too bad they didn't use the Energon Hot Shot mold for Geta.. er.. Breakaway though. It'd be more fitting of the character...

I have never been one to really bug the employees, having worked in retail before, but I used to have the major stock day for Transformers and Joes down, but I think it shifted at my local Walmarts, I will find out in the very near future though. Sadly, the closer of the two Walmarts did not get the last set of exclusives and is actually pretty terrible about stocking their Transformers (or they have an employee scalper, hell, I would if I was stuck there), but we will see, since it is on the way to the other one. | |

Join Date: Jul 2002 Posts: 7,364 Location: State of Independance Collection Count: 944 News Credits: 2 | KnightSaberAmi and I were just walking through the Walmart around 7pm tonight when we came across the pallet sitting in the isle in the toy section. It hadn't even been opened yet, so we had to slide off the two metal strips holding the top on. We didn't take the sides off but from what we could tell one side was FAB, the other side was Deluxes and the other two sides were all graphics. Quote: |
