    Am just wondering, since Walmart has display all these Hot Rod for sale, do they also display those Transformers G1 Legion Minibots or only available pre order through Robotkindom?

    AFAIK nobody has actually found the Minibots in America, but Wal-Mart has also recently carried reissues of G1 Starscream and G1 Devastator.

    I'll think about, I suppose, but I already pack a lunch. Also, where are the Minibots? :(

    Tons of minibots spotted today at a Walmart in NJ. So many in fact that my brother and I were able to dig through and pick out the most mintiest packages :)

    It was definitely cool seeing this. It is in an odd place too. It was in the center isle by electronics. I initially went to the toy isle and found two Bumblebee's hanging out on a shelf with some random toys. Then my brother scouted around the store while I was waiting on a pickup line for my $12.97 rollback Hot Rod and he found this display.

    Funny thing about Hot Rod. My pickup Hot Rod was in the packaging backward. I went to the shelf (which had 30-40 of them) and they were also ALL backward...except one. The one the right way around was factory taped...not a return or something. So, I swapped my pickup out for it. I plan on keeping it sealed (I have another Hot Rod) and wanted it displayed correctly. But what a strange thing...

    Same here. Good thing too.. Bumblebee had a lot of imperfections.
