    I was at a Walmart this morning before work and they were working on their aisle reset and saw a tag for the G1 Astrotrain. He was priced at 39.73.

    Like I said, I think I will wait. I am still bummed about buying the hot rod for my kid at $40, just for him to go to $15. You can still find him $25 shipped 3rd seller on amazon. But, the $40 is better for Astro than the $50 he was showing online. Would definitely love to get him at some point.

    Same. Ive been visiting everyday and have been told they cant go look for him. This popped up today and I was told he hasn’t been put out yet and they couldn’t go get him. They started posting which Isle so i was sure today was my day. Nope. Not today. FD3C9332-722A-48EF-B35D-18F95EBF05FD.jpeg

    Is there an online placeholder page on Walmart.ca for Astrotrain?

    My Apeface shipped (to store) but Spinster and Crosshairs are still delayed.

    The last time this happened, WalMart ended up canceling my order. Apeface shipping as a part of that order is a good sign, so fingers crossed!

    Astrotrain finally went live for pick up orders at my store in Cedar Park, TX. I have him finally secured after going there almost every single day this past week and a half.

    A few stores near me in NC went live with pickup. First order was cancelled after a few minutes. Second one says it's delayed til Friday because they had to order more. Might be worth hunting on Friday?

    Interesting. I tried and got the same thing in CA (got a delayed till Friday email). So maybe there is another shipment coming out to the stores... Or that is just an automated response for items that are low stock.

    Welp, I looked today and now it says that Astrotrain's sold out and brickseek doesn't show any stores with it. I guess it went up and sold out just like that. Sigh. I really hate this part of collecting.

    If it's anything like all the Walmart G1 releases excluding the mini-bots (?), Astrotrain will semi shelf/online-warm at some point eventually.

    I hope so. I won't die without it, but it just seems absurd.
