    I went to one Walmart after Christmas, and you couldn't even tell that there had been a Transformers section. The only evidence was a single Studio Series Helicopter Drift.

    I have never seen it as bad, for as long. This isn't the greatest store either, nor is it typically the worst around here.

    Most Walmarts tend to look like some drove their cars through the aisle while drunk, and the TFs area is usually the worst.

    If TRU US could have managed to look half this nice they might still be around. :(

    I once went to TrU and there wasn't a single transformer on the peg. Plus Power Rangers were overflowing from there section into the TF.

    for some reason Walmart put out the Studio Series Sideswipe/Barricade/WW2 Bee wave and wave 1 Starscream and Optimus. I thought that was kind of odd.

    I saw 2 new waves of Marvel Legends, the new Lanard Aliens figures & the Iron Giant & Robbie The Robot. Walmart reset with a bunch of new stuff but the Transformers section is dead as usual. I really need to break the habit of checking the toy aisle because these days it's really depressing & upsetting. After multiple billion dollar movies they still treat this franchise like it's worthless, unpopular trash.

    The Target that I complain about most must've received four cases of MicroMasters (waves one and two of course). TransFormers actually got pushed a few feet to the left because the one peg of Mattel DC Multiverse they had jammed in the middle of it expanded to five or six with the McFarlane/SpinMaster DC Multiverse relaunch. Same store also has three pegs of MCU Wasp, female Beetle, and X-Force Rocket Fart. Rounding out the Hasbro trilogy are five Solo "deluxe" Molochs that will be there until the sun goes cold.

    I have seen BOTH Optimuses at Walmart and target, which i found very strange, as the first SS Optimus came out over a year ago! Other than that, just leftover Drifts, heli-Dropkicks and WWII Bumblebees. Oh and a metric buttload of DoTM Megatrons and Jetfires. Still at full price.

    At my local Wal-Mart post reset: plenty of Cyberverse warriors but no Generations/Studio deluxes; 3 G1 Soundwaves, 2 Frenzy/Laserbeak Cassette packs, 3 Studio Series Leader DOTM Megatrons; 1 Siege Leader Shockwave, and one Siege regular voyager Megatron.
