News Credits: 8 | I really doubt they will be, like most of the other deluxes. At least in my Walmart's (actually, 3 of them) case, they got a few cases of these and a shitload of older stuff at the same time. The new stuff sold, old stuff shelfwarmed. I don't see them coming back any time soon, if at all, just because of how clogged the shelves are with old stuff and Camshafts. |

I have been looking and only found 2 badly beat up jolts and that was 2 weeks ago. Some collector shops have bought some up and have marked them up to 22-25 (Grindcore and Big Daddy) and 16-20 bucks (Jolt and Divebomb). But after finding them for 10 bucks I fail to see a point to picking any up for that price….other than Grindcore...which I picked up  My Feedback Thread |

Join Date: Jun 2003 Posts: 10,309 Location: Birthplace of Aviation Collection Count: More than a few by a bunch News Credits: 1 | Around here, the WM-exclusives came in, Big Daddy and Grindcore sold out immediately, and Divebomb and Jolt hung around a bit longer. The "display box" cases have been restocked, but with a mix of older and Allspark Power toys, instead of the WM-exclusives (even the display boxes themselves have the older toys pictured on them instead of exclusives.). Haven't seen any restocks of the exclusive Cybertron repaints yet. I'm happy I was able to get one Big Daddy at least. I'd like Grindcore too, but I'm not losing any sleep if I never see one in a store. How the Animated toy line REALLY came to an end |

they still have cybertron shelf warmers there along with some of the older movie line that no one wants anymore,
I really wanted grindcore and big daddy but i am not really willing to pay $50 plus to get the two with shipping on top of that from BBTS or ebay so for now i will hang with the two that i was lucky to scoop up. |

I was lucky and found all four this past weekend. Looks like Grindcore is short-packed, dunno about Big Daddy though. Junkion Exchange Feedback Cybertron.ca BST Feedback |

...at least I hope, I REALLY dont want to have to go to eBay for these especially since most lots of the exclusives have Jolt who I dont need  TJ Omega: The Plastic Addict - Working to change your mind about video reviews! Bad toys, 30 second reviews, and whatever else I think up. |

Picked up Big Daddy and Grindcore the first time I saw them...glad I did now. |
