    The links on the first page to the individual bots apparently don't get updated. However, there is also an assortment link at the bottom that should show you what you're looking for. That gives stock status of the assortment as a whole, not individual bots.

    So if you're looking for a particular one, it won't tell you which one is available. It's like playing the lottery!

    I just bought an Optimus cab in G1 packaging tonight at Walmart. Are there others coming out?

    Looks like $13 was the magic price for Hot Rod. They had several yesterday, go in today and they were all gone. Also on a separate note, while looking for the Optimus reissue, I noticed three kids hanging around the G1 Minibots display asking their parents if they could get one. It was like looking at a mirror into the past.

    I Bought two bumblebees at my local Walmart yesterday and looks like they're a darker yellow than my encore bumblebee.

    Brickseek showed one of the Walmarts on the other side of town had 23 in stock. I headed there this morning and grabbed the last Outback and two of each of the others. I'm really glad I didn't give up and buy them off Ebay now. they had a bunch of Hotrod for $15. All packaged backwards and none of the boxes were in good enough condition to where I wanted to pick one up. They all had sticky residue over the UPC on the back of the package which I found odd.

    I found Optimus this morning, but left him there. $50 for just the cab is hardly worth it, especially when I still have my original, plus the TRU Anniversary version.

    Soundwave is intriguing, as I never had the original, and the reissue I did get had the ridiculous "sticking-out" chest to hold two tapes. Since it's the flat, original design, I wold buy this. The minibots are also an easy purchase once they hit.

    Is anyone else using BrickSeek to hunt down clearance deals, since individual stores in the same chain markdown stuff at different rates? I've been knocking off stuff on my list of POTP stuff that was "pretty cool, but not worth full price" - $5 Legends and $22 Leaders.

    Then checking the G1 stuff at local Walmarts... $17 Starscream and $35 Devastator. (I had picked up a Hot Rod when they were down to $13 before Christmas.)

    But the best one: one lone Walmart had clearanced the minibots down to $1. One. Dollar. Official Dollar Tree Transformers! I did a receipt swap, and got $130 back over my original purchases. (One full set of doubles to open and play with for me, and one for a buddy.)

    Walmart will honor a receipt within 7 days of purchase, if you happen to find a store with a better deal. Like a $35 Devastator when you just bought a $55 one. But if you smile and talk real nice, they might extend that window for you.

    would anyone happen to know any canadian websites like brickseek? i can't seem to get it to work for me, not usre if it's only for the U.S or if that's just human error lol. But if anyone happens to have any of the minibots, starscream, optimus, or constructicons for sale at a reasonable price, don't hesitate to pm me :)  i've had a hard time finding any of the vintage figures in my area in ontario below msrp or any of them at all.

    I can probably still find you a Starscream for $17 US, Hot Rod for $15, and the minibots for $8 (most stores haven't discounted them at all yet here).

    Local Wal Mart had 5 or 6 Hot Rod's, all packaged backwards for $15 and Optimus for $50. In town had Starscream and Hot Rod a week ago, now the whole rack where they were is bare, not even current bots.

    Now that's a reasonable price for Devy and Screamer.
    So they were in the clearance aisle within the toy section?

    No, the clearance isle is usually, but not always, close to the toy isle, but not in it. I always ask where it is if i'm not familiar with the store layout. They had hotrod for $14 as well.

    The walmarts close by me have a seperate clearance isle, but it varies on it's placement from store to store since every walmart has to have a different layout apparently.
