    We'd kill for Transformers sections like these in the UK...

    Thanks to walmart holding back multiple shipments of wave two and three for the endcaps. The regular shelf is overflowing.

    Walmart is reeeeeeeeeeally weird with how they order waves of Transformers. They still have Siege Wave 2 on the shelves and pegs. Had to order Siege Astrotrain online.

    He might show up at my local Walmart around March...maybe.

    Not too bad, but it does make me a little worried about Earthrise getting properly stocked when the time comes.

    While Real was the first to not carry any Transformers here anymore, Smyth's toys (formerly TRU) now also has a drastically shrunken Transformers section here. Müller also features a tiny Transformers section. There are no other Stores here in my area, that I'm aware of to carry Transformers. But even when they were packed, they never had the Transformers I was looking for.

    Are you sure you didn't make a wrong turn and wind up in a Harrisburg area Target?

    Champaign, IL, US report:
    Fair selection at Walmart. It's decent. Oddly specific prices. Got Siege Brunt and 35th Soundblaster for ~$45.
    Target: Mediocre. Too much Cyberverse.
    Meijer actually has some of the best stuff, mostly because nobody looks there. I was so close to getting SS Megatron. ROTF version, mind you., for $30. '07 version wasn't there yet.

    Lemme guess: Target.

    (It's obvious, because of the figure on the bottom right)

    Also, nice!

    Wait a minute... of course there's a catch. That's Siege Wave One and there's a bunch of Bumblebee toys from 2018. Either we've got an aisle lost in time, or this isn't a recent picture.

    Probably Canada since there are some Target exclusives pictured. The new Cyberverse deluxes are there too so it's a recent picture, just a really weird one.

    Guys.. doesn't my location under my name showing for you?

    I'm in the Ottawa/Canada area, these were taken tonight at the Gatineau Toys R Us.

    And yes, the assortment is a bit weird as there's some that I can say I didn't see before but I know that they are a few years old but just arrived here not long ago.

    This is were I got my Astrotrain, Ratbat/Rummble pack just before Christmas.. the new stuff is "get it or miss out" quite a lot.

    The number of Siege Shockwave, Megatron and Soundwave has never gone down much. the StarScream used to be as numerous as just one was left tonight.

    OneTarget at least has rearrangedthe pegs and restocked a TON of Cyberverse (I'll admit the Quintesson looks cool) but it still the same mass of Leaders they refuse to mark down, plus a bunch of Starscream, Wave 1 and 2 Micromasters, and no Deluxes. Worst yet, they removed the Battlemaster peg so there is NO HOPE to see Rung or such in store. It didn't help they overstocked Wave 1 and only had those throughout the year as such.


    Walmart is still fucking mess it has been since Xmas Eve, mostly Deluxes and their 35th Exclusives strewn about like a store in a Fallout game.

    That sounds like Walmart. The toy aisles are often a mess.
