Just came home from my Walmart. All they had was cyberverse and studio series. When it came to siege, they had wave 1 micro master teams.

 

I'll be checking my local Walmart today. Here's to them having stock!

 

Jack and shit, and Jack left town

 

Right now, mine is depressing. A handful of Titan Hero Optimus Primes and one Seige Skytread. That was literally all that was there today.

 

Back to business as usual

 

I'd post photos, but since there's almost nothing in most stores around here and actually nothing in a few others, it would just be photos of shelves stocking products other than Transformers.

In these years where there seems to be so much new TF product out or coming out it's disappointing and frustrating that none of it actually seems to reach the stores for me to find and buy.

Jack left town and took all the Transformers with him. Jack is a dick.

 

Is it sad to say yours looks better then mine?

  That's a good one.

 

This is my transformers section. It is a sad and sorry sight.

 

Mine are still devoid of Siege Deluxes. I spotted the wave 1 Voyagers, but I passed them up since we're getting the 35th Anniversary versions.

 

Well, around me they sell these things that technically don't transform. I will never consider those power ups, turbo changers, and allspark power, or whatever silly name they get out of a blender just to sell, as "Transformers" because to me, pressing a button isn't a "Transformer"

Oh wait, they're fully stocked on early-mid 2018 Transformers, but most importantly, in a smashed, crumpled box.

 

jeez, my Walmart only has one Transformer, the G1 reissue of Optimus. That's it. The whole Transformers section is only two rows of pegs which is completely empty. Half the fucking aisle is Fortnite toys.

 

We have plenty of Cyberverse, some BB movie toys, older waves of SS and the Siege littles...with the occasional deluxe or voyager...hanging around most places in SW Ohio/NKY. I have yet to see wave 5 of SS and have only seen Siege leaders once or twice. And, the G1 reissues are pretty much absent at this point, it would seem.

 

To be honest, the local TF section at Wally is better than it was this time last year. They have a good selection of Siege Battlemasters, Micromasters, and Deluxes. They've gotten the Siege Voyagers in regular and they always sell out same goes with the Siege Leaders but they don't get those as often. As for Studio Series, the last case they got in of the latest deluxes went quick so all that are left now are just a couple of Helicopter Dropkicks. They still have not stocked anything new voyager wise since Christmas except for one case of ROTF Starscream & Megatron. They do get Studio Leaders in regularly and they sit. Just wish it was Jetfire's wave instead of Blackout/Grimlock. When it comes to the G1 reissues, they are decently stocked with Minibots from the BB movie shipper but they are slowly selling and they actually restocked another case of Trailer-less Primes and they are surprisingly selling. Cyberverse though has the smallest presence on the shelf. Just a few Warrior Class, Ultimate, and Prime w/ Trailers and that is it.

On the flip side, the much smaller Wal-Mart in the next town over only seems to be stocking Siege Deluxes. I don't see any space for anything else TF-wise and that seems to be a trend with several smaller Wal-Marts I've visited since the post Christmas resets.

 

I don't even have to take pictures. No Siege. No reissues. No Studio Series. Just the same Cyberverse figures that they had in November. Literally the same ones.

The Marvel section, if you can believe it, is even worse. It's a 4-foot gaping wound across from the TFs. Just a couple Gwenpools, SWAT guys, or snake guys depending on which Walmart.

 

My Walmart has some Cyberverse, a couple of Flywheels, and hordes of Battlemasters and Micromasters.

 

Welp, my Walmart's entire Transformers section is just 2 pegs of BotBots.

 

To be fair, they ARE Botbots. That's a pretty good consolation prize, if you ask me.

 

I was just in Walmart and it had 6 pegs for TFs. Star Wars was even worse with three pegs.

 

For some f'ing reason the only TFs at my local Walmart are the G1 Optimus who nobody will buy at $60, those rubber figures from the Prime era an a lone single pack of a Botbot who some asshole stole and employees haven't bothered to throw out.

Also, the pegs for TFs have been replaced with SW figures from the Solo Movie. SW have pegwarmed horribly over here. Even at deep discount those things don't sell, and the new ones they put up are at full price now.

 

Target usually stocks TFs pretty well. All of them in my area.

Walmart though? Everytime I do my "loop", for years now, I go to Walmart just to be comprehensive (it's not normally a store I shop at, I prefer Target). And without fail, I always walk out wondering why the hell I bothered in the first place.

I honestly don't know why Hasbro gives a fig about business with Walmart. This story seems fairly universal. It's not like they actually stock or put out these things for sale.
