    I’m aware that back in those times toys were always aplenty, but I was referring to the massive amounts of Hot Rods shelfwarming.

    I don't recall seeing copious amounts of Hot Rods clogging the shelves back in the day. I do remember Rodimus Prime being quite plentiful, though, but nothing like in the image. I also remember seeing Jetfire all over the place, but that was probably because kids were disappointed that he wasn't Skyfire.

    Awesome thanks!!! I managed to snag a set for myself at a local store. Sure feels good having these in hand after all the headaches from their website and cancellations.

    Well this didn't help my hunt at all, it says my local Walmart has 72 but there is no displays anywhere in the store plus they didn't have them on the pegs in the actual aisle and then after giving them the UPC and confirming that yes there are 72 of them and then they go to the back to check, they didn't find them.

    What utter sh*t

    The Hot Rods and my 2 local stores look like they are starting to sell through, which hopefully give Walmart confidence to stock future G1 releases.

    I managed to get all of them online and in Canada except Swerve. Tried to find the display last night but nowhere to be found. Brickseek claims they are there. But I'll be damned if I have to face that material in there a week before Christmas for a D list character I don't even remember.

    Hey bro he DID do another version just not sure if you have this or didn't know about it. I have this book as well and it's great. Here's a link to his latest transformers book that is out. Oh and did you buy this transformers book by Rik Alvarez as it's the second link right below it. You have a good idea as well if Mark B would release a book on the Japanese Transformers. I'd like too have as much information as there is out there on Japanese Transformers. I'd buy it in a minute if it's like these 2 transformers books and then some.


    Marks B. Transformers book.

    I bought two full sets of the minibots in the Salt Lake City area. If a fellow collector wants a complete set, please PM me. $40 for all four. Not looking to make a profit--just trying to help out . . .

    Na, people had a lot more hair back then plus the music was better and the slang was berable. Now everyone constantly is starering at their phone and taking pictures of their meals, and having website sell their data to the highest bidder.

    When I wanted Stan Bush The Touch I had to hold a tape recorder with microphone that I pretended to be Soundwave up to the radio or t.v. speakers to download the song for free. :eek:

    I had the same thing, although as I was leaving my Wal-Mart I saw they were up front by the self checkouts hidden amongst all the other holiday last minute gift stuff. They were in a bumblebee display but it was lost and out of place amount the various candy displays and dvds/other stocking stuffers.

    Found the display tonite. It was near the electronics department. Picked up a set. Pretty neat, but those cards get warped pretty easily.
