    Frenzy and Laserbeak were just up on Walmarts site for purchase about 15 min ago (10:45am CST). I managed to get an order in... gone now though.

    Same! I got a confirmation email that they're processing the order.

    Though, I ordered Starscream like this, and it almost got auto-canceled because it was running so far behind.

    walmart was notorious for cancelling numerous orders I placed last year for Marvel Legends and G1 minibots so I can't say for sure I'm going to get them till I actually have them in hand

    not sure why I bother signing up for their email notification when they never work

    Frustrating experience.

    Been going almost every other day to Wal-mart to try and find them after the first sightings. I refresh the brickseek site and the Wal-mart page at least 4 times a day. Brickseek has shown that most stores nearby have 12 in stock but they do not stock them. I must have just missed the fact they were available on the site today. I saw that a store 20 miles away had them but they quickly disappeared so I chose to wait versus rush over there and risk being disappointed.

    Yesterday the Wal-mart website said I could pay on-line and pick it up today so I did that. They cancelled the order today saying they did not have any in stock. I go today and they just updated the peg labels that with the product names. Good grief. If they were not exclusive I would not buy from them. Grumble.

    I hope you get the chance to find them early. I found in the store i got them today, damages vary on the packaging & the contained figures.

    Found these at one of my WMs today. Tough pill to swallow at $20 a pop. Ideally would love to have two of each, but just can't do it. Combined they nearly cost as much as Soundwave.

    When else are going to walk into a store and buy brand new 80's Transformers cassettes? The price is worth it for what it is. I would rather cut out a few beers this week and pick up two of each sets, than try and travel back in time.

    I ended up stopping to pick up one set (wasn't sure which one) for my son to have/play with and found myself walking out of the store with the full experience of another G1 Soundwave and two(one of each) sets of cassettes. Not sure if I am going to give the Soundwave to my son, keep it MISB(as I already bought one and opened it last week), or end up returning it...but didn't want to pass it up once I saw them on the shelf again. I think it would be kind of awesome to see my son play with it, but I am just not sure he would actually play with it, outside of the first five minutes after opening the packaging. He is really into Lego, TMNT, and other stuff right now.

    And that's why I bought a set. Sorry my adult brain is conflicting with my inner child brain, I guess?

    And cut back beer? That's cute lol.

    Quality, not quantity... :) 

    BTW, nice avatar. Got to love TPB. I have a full-length Bubbles poster hanging on the door leading from my garage into the house.

    That’s weird. Because I was actually thinking mine didn’t. But I won’t be home for another two days to check. Maybe I’m wrong.

    Several people have commented on it in different threads and at least one YouTube reviewer commented on it. I think a lot of people were expecting more in the $10 to $15 range.

    Has anybody found good cases that fit the new cassette set cards and are relatively inexpensive? Thanks!

    Mine did - though the card itself is a little thin.

    ^This is true^ But then it also comes down to 'canon' and where it comes from. Surely for toys alone the term canon wouldn't really work, as to have canon you need a narrative and Universe to thread things together - what is an isn't canon is what is and isn't considered true to the Universe. Transformers canon has always come down to the media - comics and toys, and from what I remember even back in the 80's there was a hot debate over what was 'true'. Shockwave differed between the two media's, Grimlock was a moron in the cartoon but smart and ambitious in the comic, etc.

    Personally I would never say that, just that mistake was made, and with the movie and cartoon it's an understandable split with fandom - one which individuals can choose their own path on.
