Yeah hit a couple of Walmarts and Targets in PA over the weekend. You’d think Transformers are being phased out there too.

 

Yeah this past 6 months, I've literally had to extend my hunting grounds to include PA, NJ, NY, DE, MA, MD, & CT and still can't find anything at all! I'm not sure what's going on with retail, but it doesn't feel good.

 

3 Target's and 2 WM today and nothing on the shelf. Now 2 of the Target's have been renovating by changing everything around but basically no Transformers or Legends on the shelf.

 

Deptford Target had literally zero kingdom figures this evening. Zero.

 

Well, my Galvatron from Amazon arrived. Misassembled shoulders, but box is crushed. Sigh.

I plan on returning, unless someone here needs a Galvy and doesn't care for the incorrect shoulder assembly.

 

That's exactly why as soon as I found out Kingdom Galvatron had that misassembled shoulder issue, I literally canceled all of my online preorders! The only way I will be paying for that figure, is if I can inspect it in person first.

 

North brunswick walmart has a huffer and an airazor. ... and the mess of RED wave 2, ractonites and arcees, and a couple netflix wave 3, which have been there a while now.

 

Middletown Target had these 3 left, the rest of the transformers section was empty. Happy hunting amd good luck out there.

 

WAIT.... You saw the Snake Eyes Classified figures at TARGET VOORHEES?
Where were they? I was in the 2 hours ago & it was cobwebs & pegs where the GI Joe figures were. I figured that line would be pegwarming.

 

Sure did. Saw and purchased. About 10am, yesterday. Right on the Joe pegs. Case pack out is only 6 figures (3x SE, 2x SS, 1x Baroness), so they probably won't last terribly long, at least initially.
Voorhees has been somewhat ok, as far as stock goes. They actually get *some* new product and they don't seem to give a damn about putting it out when it arrives. You just have to be able to be there at the right time.

 

Nice timing. I literally work around the corner from that store, so I check often, and rarely see anything of note. So I was very surprised by your post. I guess it only takes one collector or two to wipe out a case off the pegs really quick.

 

Old Bridge Route 18 Walmart had a few Netflix Wave 3, 1 Kingdom Arcee and Blackarachnia, and 2 R.E.D Arcee's. So in other words, best stocked place I've seen all week.
Happy Hunting and Stay Safe.

 

I can confirm. I work less than 10 minutes from there and usually go on my lunch. I saw it and thought, "hmm. Neat, a movie classified Snake Eyes. Nah, I'll leave it. I don't need it."

 

Freehold Walmart has Core Class Wave 3, minus Soundwave, and a few G.I Joe classified figures.
Happy Hunting and Stay Safe.

 

I'm just dumbfounded. I really am.

Target, Fairfield NJ:

Every. Single. Transformer. Peg.

EMPTY.
I mean, what is going on?
Literally only two stores to buy Transformers; Target and Walmart.

Both are empty. All the time.

 

Walmart Kearny

 

My guess is WM and Target are waiting till August for the back to school rush to put everything out.

 

....and like I said, the only places to buy toys, and I have to "wait until they're ready?"

Horsesh*t.

 

I talked to the lady who restocks the Walmart Berlin toy aisle. She said in about 2 weeks the action figure aisle will be shifted around. But she didn't see any incoming TF Studio series scheduled & no GI Joe figures listed for new designated spaces. But she says they stock over night and certain shipments get bought up quick in the mornings..... aka greedy collectors & scalpers.

 

South Brunswick Target has shelf tags for Origin Bumblebee ($22.99) but none in stock
