    Oh man just in time. Snapped the head off my original soundwave. Was so pissed. This will make things right. It’s not the value it’s the toy itself

    Can everyone make a promise not to be a douchebag and just buy one of these at a time? Not like the guy in the other thread who was clearing the shelves as another TFW member was coming up the aisle. Everyone should have a chance to get one and if it’s like Prime then Walmart will eventually get a second stock of them. Don’t be the guy who goes in to buy one to play, one to keep boxed, and one for the office. Think about other people.

    FireSkyJet admitted to clearing the peg hook of all Warpath and Gears just as he saw another TFW member coming down the aisle. He later amended his story to say that he just bought one of each (four total) for him and his son. But judgement is still out on that story @FireSkyJet !!!

    In any case, how about everyone not going batshit crazy and leaving some for the next guy? There’s no sense in clearing shelves just so you can keep one boxed in the back of your closet to be buried with.

    He has come and gone. There were still Warpaths on the pegs in my city up until they were put on clearance this week. Your best bet is to buy one on eBay before the price skyrockets

    I can't tell if you're jabbing at me in jest or picking an inter-webs battle. But, I assure you, I was not being a douche. The other board member sat and talked with me for awhile. Plenty of Warpath and Gears have stocked the pegs of this Walmart since that day along with the other four in our immediate area not to mention all of the others within a 30 to 40 min radius. Fortunately, Denver is a pretty big city and there are a TON of Wallys to choose from. We are not lacking in TFs. At least you cleared up that by saying when I cleared the peg hook it was only four; however, I didn't do it in a mad rush while seeing another board member down the aisle. I ran into him as I was leaving.

    So...who is being the douche? o_O ;)  :p

    My interpretation of being a douche in the collector world is to buy multiples just so you can scalp. I think we all agree that it sucks when people do that. But, hey, 'Merica and capitalism. If that's what someone wants to do, it's not illegal and as long as people buy 'em the demand will be supplied.

    But no one should panic and get their underwear in a bunch. There will be plenty of these to go around. 6 per box for the Walmarts in the States. Soundwave is popular. Prime is popular. Prime is shelf warming on discount in my area after selling through stock several times and getting restocked. I hope Soundwave is the same.

    I’m well aware of how the company price matches their website. I work there, remember?

    So checking the system today, looks like he will be priced at 49.67 and arrive towards the end of July/first of August, but this will be dependent on how quickly the associates get the mod reset completed. So I’d say mid August at the latest, we should start seeing them pop up.

    This makes me so angry. What's the point of making these if they never show up on store shelves? Why does Walmart constantly drop the ball on exclusives?

    It's really dependent on the Wally near you. That really does suck. In my area, they were everywhere and restocked a couple of times.

    Both of my local Walmarts still have tons of Swerves and Tailpipes. Never seen Gears or Warpath.

    I don’t know.... we never got the other guy’s side of the story.... “I saw FireSkyJet at Walmart while going to buy a Warpath. He distracted me with some chitchat while his kid racked the entire peg hook into a shopping basket and ran for the self checkout line!”

    Ok CS. I like you. Where do you live again? I want to make sure I go to your Wally and snag all 6 of the Soundwaves when he hits. I might have to try a new tactic though...seems your on to my old one.

    Luckily I’ve got three close Walmarts to pull from. However, I am still worried that if I don’t keep on top of this then I’ll never see one. I never saw that Toys R Us Soundwave. Or Warpath, Starscream, or Devastor come to think of it. Or that ‘84 Voltron that just mocked me with an empty peg hook. I may have to start living in the 24 hour Walmart just to get this.

    Not the G1 Soundwave but I remember when the Masterpiece Soundwave came out, people said they cleared the local stores of them to not only get their friends one but to get to people they knew online (didn't sound like scalping but a cost plus shipping deal). That seemed like a douche move to me since anyone in that city who didn't know the person was now screwed out of Soundwave and had to resort to getting him online when they could have got one locally.

    I can see getting one for your local friends but not taking the entire local stock an distributing it across the country.

    Did we ever get Warpath in Canada? The Gears suggests that we are getting him, just really late. This pricepoint actually isn't bad. I'd really like to get a Ratbat though.

    This is supposed to precede a casseticon min-pack, isn't it?

    I got a TRU Soundwave reissue a few years ago that came with Ravage and Laserbeak, so though I'm sad there's no solo opportunity to get Buzzsaw, I'm really only hoping that maybe there'll be 2 of Rumble/Frenzy/Ratbat or something that's worth $10-13. Or in my wildest dreams, Slugfest and Overkill.

    Who am I kidding though? It'll probably be Laserbeak and Ravage. Or Rumble and Ravage or something that means I have to buy at least one doubled up figure or get nothing at all. Because that's my luck.

    Yes. I saw some at the Walmart right by the TFcon hotel on Saturday.
