My exact experience with this years velocitrons as well as wave 1 and 2 Netflix. Gotta give it to em for consistency

 

do you know what the sku for the case of deluxes is?

 

I'm still waiting for Cosmos, if Walmart ever ship him.

 

All 6 of mine have been cancelled, I preordered everything but clampdown and cosmos. I was able to get some of the figs from pulse though

 

I only received Scourge. Overdrive was scheduled to ship, but I found her in store. Clampdown and Burnout I found in store and canceled my pre-orders.

It's very sad that my optimism was seemingly misplaced, and Walmart still hasn't sorted out online shopping despite being a major American retailer that wants to compete with Amazon. The harebrained execution of having local stores as distro centers for online orders is a good idea on paper, but clearly needs refinement to prioritize items paid for in advance process to paying customers instead of the seeming willy nilly throw whatever is left out of the retail floor. There are too many American retailers that screw the pooch on this pre-selling business model, e.g. video game retailers who would never commit to the seller / buyer relationship of "I pay in full for an item, and as the item is paid for in full I receive priority over the customer that is using pre-orders as layaway." Those companies should have gone out of business years ago.

Barring Walmart getting it's sh*t together, I'd rather Hasbro just do these exclusives with reputable online retailers like Amazon or even BBTS. I've had no problem obtaining Amazon exclusives and as I'm not interesting in hunting for frivolous luxury items, I've resorted to just pre-ordering through BBTS instead of dealing with retail supply issues.

 

I preordered Cosmos, Override, and Scourge. I got Scourge on time, after Walmart delayed the other two to October. Then Override was delivered this weekend, a month ahead of the delay estimate. Cosmos remains MIA since Walmart prioritizes physical stores over committed preorders for reasons™

 

I received Burnout yesterday.

 

My experience with Road Rocket was only slightly different.
1. Pre-order confirmed
2. Shipping delayed
3. Found Road Rocket in store a month after delay announced
4. Bought Road Rocket in store
5. Pre-order cancelled

 

Just got my notification my cosmos was shipped from Walmart Canada.

 

You have given me new hope that mine will eventually ship out.

 

Mine shipped earlier this morning too, so adjust your hope accordingly

 

Nice to know Canadian Walmart keeps their word. I still await a first report of US Walmart shipping a Cosmos. We're just a little over one month away from the meltdown of all the preorders getting cancelled

 

Canadian Walmart holds true to their word, the risk is in they ship via aggressive pavement poopers. You'll have to fight that Canadian goose for your Cosmos.  

 

I mean 2 of the Walmart Exclusives (Not Transformer related) that went up for preorder on the 21st, but a week later it was already spotted at Canadian retail and I ended up finding them a couple of days later.

 

Yeah, definitely good for brick and mortar customers; but pants on head paste eating stupid for customers looking forward to the convenience of shopping online. Same boat for me. I purchased 3/4 of the figures I ordered online in person. Fortunately I have a commute that allows me to intersect with a nearby Walmart on my way to work.

 

Here's the sighting that changed everything.

No offence, but I actually laughed at the comments. And normally I despise South Park.

 

Just to follow up I received my Cosmos and it was in fact Cosmos and not essential oils or anything like that. So have hope .ca folk

 

Damn… feel left out now that I still haven’t even gotten a shipping notif lol.

 

So now apparently my Cosmos has shipped out... haven't been charged though yet. As of now I am cautiously optimistic about getting him. If I do then that is 3/3 of my VS5 wants (Scourge, Override, Cosmos). It'll be 4/4 if I get my hands on Shadowstrip next wave. Not bad for a line I was worried about getting at all.

Also Override... great figure! Not 100% sure she fully earns her voyager price but I do love her.

 

Good luck! Wish I would have gotten in on pre-orders while Cosmos was still available. Who knew I'd get back into buying Transformers because of an awesome Cliffjumper figure, then get stuck searching for a rare Walmart Soundwave - and it's winding down with a rare Cosmos of all characters...

Can't I just buy my dumb characters in peace?   I hope no other mini-bot upgrades are as difficult to come by. I'm really enjoying my chonky bois getting big fancy toy versions.
