    Stopped at Chippewa Walmart on my lunch break and was able to find HighBrow they still have a wired wolf and skull crusher if anyone is looking. I'm still looking for a Chromedome, Brainstorm and Mindwipe. If anyone sees them in the southwest PA area let me know thanks.

    I just hit 3 targets and several walmarts in the allentown general area, and there were absolutely nothing there of interest.

    Walmart in Monaca has three sets of wave 2 Headmasters but sadly no Wave 1 Headmasters except for a whole bunch of hardheads.

    Cyberverse rules, but that Warrior assortment has been languishing on pegs for nearly a year. More maybe.

    These results are completely completely completely wrong. Zero in any of these stores, I checked. How can this be? Every store??? Are they pulling the target tricks? Screenshot_2021-03-25-05-29-07.png Screenshot_2021-03-25-05-28-42.png Screenshot_2021-03-25-05-29-30.png

    They're in backroom not being put out?
    Walmart feels that only lego, barbie & nerd need to be restocked?
    This is what they're telling Hasbro about their stock?
    I can't believe that a toy company rep could walk in to our Wally's and not be concerned.

    And you know how completely useless it is asking anyone in a Walmart for help.

    Tell me about it.
    At least Target will often give me a hand.
    Wally's stand there and quote Homer Simpson.
    It took over a month for the hilltown Wally to finally remove that broken Netflix optimus.
    Most of our toy managers must have transferred from the hallmark aisle.
    They wait for an outside contractor to come and fill the pegs.
    Then they don't understand when no one shows up.
    I see pics of NJ Wally's getting figs while our dustbunnys are building condos.
    It gets frustrating.
    I know last year was hard for in-store sales.
    But this not going to help.

    So I am doing an "experiment" considering they claim inventory but none on the floor. Screenshot_20210325-070436_Chrome.jpg

    I was being sarcastic.
    For the most part.
    A little.
    Sometimes I think they should let the toy companies stock there own wares.
    Control their own stock on the shelves.
    Maybe they'd realize a lot better what a buyer wants.
    At least they'd notice that buzzworthy was a bad idea.
    Hasbro should just hang around the aisles for few days
    They'd watch customers looking for toys that aren't there, while not buying the ones that are.
    East Greenville Wally overstocksa couple of hundred Godzilla vs Kong figures last week.
    Next xmas clearance items pre-stocked.
    There's no rhyme or reason.
    No logical explanation other tha frustration & alienation of your base.
    The primary.consumer here are kids or parents buying for kids.
    What's the logic of empty shelves

    I need to stop ranting now.
    Does anyone have a sighting to halt me in my tracks.
    Please!!!!!

    My order was just canceled/refunded for items showing stock in the store on two different websites. What the hell is going on in these stores.

    It's the amount you chose. I did the same experiment with 2 out of 4 (Headmasters) and they fulfilled my order.

    It's such a stupid system.

    Left hand doesn't know what the right hand Is doing.
    Right hand us listening to the feet
    The feet are on vacation with the cell turned off.
    By the time anyone figures out who's in control, no one cares.
    Magazines & greeting cards are kept fresh by outsiders.
    I sometimes wonder if toy wouldn't better off doing the same

    Yeah I overheard a woman asking an employee about a toy that was showing on the website as available, and the employee just said "if it's not on the shelf then we don't have it" and then "the website inventory is lagging". Apparently the woman had driven quite a while in hopes of finding the item in-store.

    I would never trust what the website says. If I can order it for pickup or shipping, fine, but I'm not going to drive over a half an hour somewhere just because the website says it's there.

    If anybody is still on lookout for Scourge,
    Amazon still has it.
    "Ship in 1-2 days"
    "Sold by Amazon "
    They did up their price to $32.99,
    But it by them & not 3rd party.

    Note
    While typing above, price slipped back to 29.99.
    Don't know how long fluctuating will last.
    Hope this helps.
