The Walmart deluxe exclusives are now online at Walmart.com. This is a good chance for those that can't find them at their stores. Free Site to Store shipping.

Grindcore and Big Daddy are Out of Stock right now.
MPollard:
Yay, more repaints...
mblase:
Yah, I saw these at a local store recently but failed to get any more excited about them.
I wish Hasbro would have some kind of contest where the best custom jobs, like Stockade-into-Brawn, would get turned into commercial toys.
Robogeek28:
Awesome news for those folks that don't see these in their Wal-marts!
Thundershot:
Not so awesome if two of them aren't available. Strangely, the two I want most...
Chris
Dark Prime:
I'll take my chances of finding them in the stores.

Far less strangely, the two more short-packed in the bunch.

I'm sure they'll have them soon. Isn't it common for new stuff in these stores to be listed out of stock at first?
Beastbot X:
Not to mention that Walmart.com restocks a lot more than other online stores. Generally, if they're in the current assortment and Walmart.com has them out-of-stock, just wait a few days.
Abrogate:
currently they're ALL out of stock
Kupp:
all gone, lets watch them show up on BBTS and Ebay in even larger droves now.
Thundershot:
SON OF A BITCH!
I just went to the newly opened (as of today) Wal-Mart, thinking that it's a BRAND NEW STORE that they'd have them... NO. They had a CRAPLOAD of the wave one movie figures. I've never seen so many old style Bumblebees before... but NONE OF THE EXCLUSIVES.
So I came back to order the two that were available, only to find them gone...
*sigh* I am NOT a hunter. I just want the figures I want with minimal stress and not paying a fortune...

It happens... As exclusives are announced, people expect them. I have been checking Walmart.com regularly for the Robot Heroes 5-pack.
It happens. The only thing they could do is allow you to pre-order or Back-order stock.
Chosen:
Or, request them on the boards. These things are surprisingly not hard to find if your store carries them in the first place. Even I've held several Grindcores before. Someone should be able to get these to you for cost plus shipping.
Kenucme:
I know Jolt and Divebomb are still available in my store. I 'm almost sure there are more in the back. I picked up mine while they were stocking them. Several displays of them were put up on the hangers and an endcap. Then I saw them open a box wich had the older deluxes (not Allpspark). Those non-Allspark one are getting put out to fill the space on the endcap.
They have over a dozen of the Robot Heroes 'The Final Battle' on the endcap also.
Bryan:
Gonna swing by a Wal-mart or two on the way to playing Army tomorrow. If that doesn't work out, maybe the website'll work out.
jazz4ever:
hm might have to try this since i couldnt find them at the store directly.
Omegax80:
Closest Walmart is a 30 minute ride. Not worth it to me to find an empty shelf as I usually do in Saddle Brook.

Ship to store is free.
GrimstarPrime:
Last Night I went to my local Wal-Mart in Cobourg, Ontario and there they were Fully stocked. Big Daddy, Grindcore, Jolt and Divebomb. Bought Divebomb. Plenty left.. Also saw Leaderclass Mags, & Brawl, 3 of each. & Other Repaints. They are out there! Happy hunting.

Thundershot:
Okay, now that I went and gave up and ordered a set of them on ebay, all but Grindcore are now in stock. Oh well... The money I spent on shipping and ebay makes up for the gas money and hassle, I guess...
Chris
Omegax80:
And just as fast Jolt and Big Daddy are G-O-N-E!

The store restocks pretty quickly, just keep checking. I am not sure but I believe they will email you if it becomes in stock too.
My Wal-mart was busting at the seams with these and all sorts of last wave.
unicronhq:
hmm...now the link shows no results at all for these 4 guys.
Nice...walmart sucks just like TRU does with the marketing of their "exclusive figures"
Omegus Prime:
They might get a stock back in, they dont come up in search anymore but the pages for the figures are still online. They get shipments once a week just like a normal Walmart, what sold now is just what they first got in.
At least I'm banking on that with my Walmart being total and utter failures at getting in exclusives.
Master Sing:
Got 2 of em at a toyshow for 25... Only amounts to a $1.50 profit per fig for the scalpers... Yay, go Master Sing, go...
Chosen:
These figures retail for $10. Specifically, $9.83 or so at my Wal-Mart. How does that math make sense?
EDIT: Sales tax would do it.

Two $10 toys, plus 8.25% California tax, is about $22, which is about $3 less than $25. Math FTW.
Chosen:
Beating you to the same conclusion FTW.
Plus, even with our recent tax hike to 6%, Maryland doesn't have a sales tax that bad. It'd work out to be more than $1.50 extra per figure... but it was close enough that Sing made sense after all.
Anyone out there still need these? Got a loose Big Daddy, but one of his doors got scratched a bit. I might be able to get more from Wal-Mart, but no guarantees there because I leave Friday.
Omegax80:
and now Walmart has pulled them from the website. Bleh.
nkelsch:
Every time I check for the robot heroes 5-pack exclusive online, the only things I see are in-stock cybertron repaints...
And my walmart is clogged with them but no Robot heroes
Chosen:
I've also seen a bunch of the new exclusive five-pack too. This Salisbury Wal-Mart is like a godsend for me.
