    So I haven't been following these too closely. Are these online only?

    Mine (Soundblaster and Bluestreak) were supposed to arrive at my local store today, but are now listed for Monday. Kind of ridiculous to miss your own internal delivery date, but whatever. It's not like I'd gotten all gussied up to go to Wal-mart today, anyway

    I think this is my situation, too, but I'm not getting a Monday yet on my order. Online support says internal tracking number shows they've been delivered to my store, and to call because they've not been scanned for pickup, and that's why I have not seen my order update (but my order says they landed in Orlando today at 6:47 PM. I am in Denver). My store says they're still in transit - I'm more prone to believing the girl I spoke with at the pickup counter.

    I just wish the order would update with a new pickup date. It's making me anxious.

    The Walmarts around here just reset their shelves, and they have no spots for SW, like at all.

    It will. Showed the progress from the stock warehouse to the ship to store like a normal order being shipped.
    I ordered three refractors TF siege figures and was able to watch their progress to my local Walmart store. Once they are received by the warehouse staff, the Walmart site sends you the " your stuff is in stock and can be picked up now" email.

    My Prime and Megatron now show “Delayed - check back later for status update.” Maybe that November 1 date wasn’t just for new orders...

    I'd guess they moved to November because they haven't actually gotten the figures. We've seen a lot more Bluestreak photos from overseas for longer than we have of Prime/Megatron. I'd guess theyll get them in before that, but will just wait until they have ALL the stock theyre expecting, which will be by November 1st. Amazon is about the only site that just lists it "you can order it, and we will just ship things as they come in".

    One of mine doesn't have a single SW figure on the shelves. Walmart seemed to have clearanced out the Archive black series, and regular black series figures, to make room for the newer waves, and to be able to have more room for the force friday releases, etc. Walmart does do this, as Studio Series voyagers are a good example. Every store near me (that carried them in the first place) had hoardes of wave 1 Starscream and optimus still, so they made them 7 bucks, got them out, and then recently started selling them again, at their regular price. More stores in my area get them now as well. Seeing a lot of BB OP/Rampage and Long Haul/KSI Boss wave. I cant imagine its easy logistically to do that, but nonetheless, Walmart is trying to do what they can to get old shit out, and bring new stuff in.

    Yeah, I finally started getting updates last night. I called to ask them wtf they're doing when I saw my order leave Davenport, FL and arrive in Orlando 4 hours later. It's been there all night, being repeatedly scanned - Origin, location, location, departure, arrival, unload - all in Orlando. It's been, I presume, sitting in a pile since 3 AM waiting to be scanned again. I am told to "check back later" for an update.

    Fucking Walmart and FedEx felt the need to turn my shipping box and siege soundblaster box into a crushed bachiball project.

    Luckily the tf is fine.
    Fucking inept idiots.

    Has anyone said or has bought Soundblaster from 35th anniversary been out on walmart to purchase yet? I'm not going to read 19 pages to find out. I've seen a few people on YouTube get him but they got it overseas which is expensive but i can't do that. If anyone knows let know if walmart has him up for sale and in stock which i mean up on website being i can buy now.

    He was up for preorder a few months ago, but quickly went out of stock. I preordered mine back then and he came in this week. Walmart is having issues filling all the preorders so I don't expect him to come back up on the site anytime soon. I also don't think the 35th toys will ever be on store shelves.

    Hey thanks bro I'd been wondering but for finding these in store at Wal-Mart. I don't do stores hardly at all cause of getting around is hard. So for me buying online is the best and pretty much only option i have actually.

    I got my Bluestreak from WM.com last week. Came pretty fast and in good shape. I didn't order the others. I like SoundBlaster but after owning Soundwave I really don't like the mold enough to buy it again.
