    Went by yesterday to pickup the Rainmakers and they had a bunch of Cyberverse stuff. I think there was at least one each of every of the armor up figures.

    Also found the Power Rangers stuff. They're on the back side of the Transformers ailse in the middle. They had one each of the smaller Beast Morphers Zords with the three modes.

    Riverpoint Sheridan, 9:30 AM - no Rainmakers, but the shelf space is finally there. Store employee stocking toys indicated she wasn't sure if they had already sold or if they had even come in at all, and could not say if the item would actually ever be in stock. Reset was happening and the aisles were a mess.

    I really want this set and I'm hoping to find it in-store at msrp.

    Curious how you ordered them, as online still shows it unavailable for order/pickup. Some other method I'm not aware of?

    I was able to order 2 Soundwave through the .com site in a brief window online a couple days ago. One is being delivered today and the other is on its way.

    For the cassettes, someone in the Soundwave thread accidentally used the assortment sku and discovered they could add to cart. Then you have to hope that whoever is fulfilling the order understands that you want one of each. SKU 494322832

    And I should mention that out of the four stores showing stock in my area, only Lakeside allowed me to add to cart for in-store pickup.

    Thanks for the heads up. I drove out to Greeley from Loveland once I saw your post and the landmine666's post that both Walmart's have the cassette's in stock. Unfortunately, the 23rd Street Walmart was completely empty of the 2packs despite landmine666's post from yesterday stating the pegs were overflowing with them. However, an employee told me the 10th street Walmart had limited stock in their system. So since I was in the area I figured I'd check. Sure enough, the 10th street Walmart had 2 sets of both 2 pack cassettes. I only bought both Ravage/Rumble sets for my brother and I. I left the Lazerbeak and Frenzy set since I didn't want to spend another $40 dollars for both.

    Anyways, thanks again for the heads up on the sighting. Apparently Loveland Walmart's have them in-stock but I checked the Denver St. store as I was heading out to Greeley and the pegs were empty. I am wondering if they're in the back and will be put out soon?

    Most stores won’t have this stuff out until Sun night / Mon morn at earliest. Though as you’ve experienced, some stores have put them out.

    And some people are purchasing entire cases of Soundwave and clearing pegs of the cassettes according to some sightings around the States. Smh.

    Yeah, I am guessing it is scalpers. I saw the peg label for the 2 packs at the 23rd St. Walmart. So if they were overflowing yesterday, like you said, and completely empty this afternoon, my only guess is a scalper or two cleared out the entire peg since they are new and a hot commodity for Ebay. Thanks for the head's up about the 23rd St Walmart though. I will keep checking this forum and brickseek for Soundwave; as I will also post on here if I see him in the wild myself. :)

    Thankfully we have this forum to alert each other when Soundwave hits Walmart stores near us. I need this figure since I have such a close nostalgic feeling for him (I got him for Christmas in 1984) and I am keeping on top of the sightings to ensure I get one. It's amazes me that Transformer/Toy Scalpers still exist. Something I thought ended after the CHUG line and 25th Gi Joe figures ended in the mid- to late-2000s.

    So it turns out that the Walmart on 65th Street on Hwy 287 in Loveland got the Cassette 2 packs put out on their pegs today. My brother picked up the Frenzy/Lazerbeak 2 pack for each of us this afternoon to go with our Ravage/Rumble 2 pack that I bought for both of us yesterday out in Greeley. He also mentioned that this same Walmart had their Soundwave price label affixed on the shelf down below the pegs but no Soundwaves placed out. So that means it should be any day now that Soundwave starts showing up here, my fellow Northern Colorado collectors. I will keep you guys updated with the two Loveland Walmarts. :)

    I found the g1 tapes at the WM on 58th yesterday. They had a few of each and I only took the Rumble/Ravage one. I couldn't remember if I ever got a G1 Rumble

    I was in Wally on 136th and Orchard Pkwy to pick up my .com order of G1 Soundwave and swung by the toys for you guys. They have their shelving finally in place with a plan-o-gram hanging off of one of the pegs in the TF section. I saw the price tag for the Cassettes and Soundwave out and ready for stock. Even though brickseek doesn't show stock for Soundwave, I'd imagine they'll be placing it out as soon as received (or perhaps they already have). For example, the Cassettes haven't been showing stock individually but this Wally does show stock of them under the assortment sku.

    All that to say, keep an eye out. Should be stocked on the shelves soon.
