    I just got a swerve cancellation email. I can't complain compared to others on this thread. I got HR,Devy sitting at home and 1 SS ready for pickup and the other SS on the way.

    I hope so and plus I would love to see the original Bumblebee head(Battle Mask) as well a Red Bumblebee and if they do Cliffjumper they should do a yellow Cliffjumper as well.

    A good example is last year Walmart had the Star Wars Black series Kylo throne room set. I had to get the link from s Star Wars forum. Never showed up in a search.

    Bitter sweet...I received my SS, but the box is folded so much that the plastic is even bent. The top is warped to the point it looks like there’s water damage. Very disappointed. My only hope is the one getting dropped off in store tomorrow isn’t as damaged as this one.

    The tracking info on my SS indicates the shipping dimensions as: 14x8x10 in.

    Hope that indicates my SS is not smash packed in a bubble envelope and/or has plenty of room in the shipping box with airbags.

    Mercifully, Walmart finally put my poor July 20 Swerve out of his misery with a 6:53pm EST cancellation. Aug 21st Starscream is due to arrive here in VA tomorrow (shipped from Austell, GA). Hopefully I can eventually catch Devy available again during a time that I'm not actually at work. Hopefully.

    Actually I would love to see a wave 2, just not dealing with Walmart.com. There's also Pipes from the Encore set that was not included with this wave of minibots.

    I have had all available on pre-order at one time or another. It took me two weeks of constant refeshing to get them all. I received two Hot Rods. One was picked up in store and the other came in the mail. Both had good shipping boxes but that did not mean damage free. The first box has a small crush on the top. The second one would be perfect except for a small knick on the side. Starscream shows shipped as well as my two Bumblebees. All others have been on hold for a while now. I am very nervous they will cancel. My first Starscream order was cancelled but I reordered right away and it shipped within a day or two. lt is being shipped to in store pickup as they did not offer free shipping like my first order. I also had two Bumblebees ordered at $14 but cancelled them quickly when I was able to get the $10.87 pricing. I have been into transformers since 1984 and love G1. Between the cancelling, price changes, and damage, it breaks my heart. They have to know these are collector items. I just don’t understand this level of ineptitude.

    July 20th mail delivery just shipped and August 25th ship to store just shipped. I ordered the 2nd because I lost all hope in the first order.

    Maybe they are just getting in their stock. Hopefully!

    That’s the point I have been making. These figures sale out like crazy but Walmart can’t keep up with demand. As I said Walmart didn’t realize what they gotten themselves into. I notice Starscream on Brickseek has in stock of 30%.
