    Sadly it seems like Wal-Mart is selling everything except for Siege figures.... But happy hunting to everyone who's interested in these because I don't want them to shelf warm.

    What a weird assortment. A Bumblebee, and three S3 characters.

    Tell that to Takara, who released these as a box set together with Pipes ten years ago!

    They may as well put the other 3 minibots in a value set. Most people will only want Bee.

    Yeah, if they're showing up in a shipper then I kind of doubt that they're being logged individually.

    This happened with Cyberverse too. For some reason Target had a few month lead on them for that line also.

    They're all the same price, the ones in the pic are just on the wrong pegs.

    Walmart has had the dubious practice of shoehorning stuff into the toy aisle.

    Nope. I just checked Brickseek for the UPC for Bumblebee and it shows out of stock for the store I was at.

    He's joking man, I did the same thing on the previous page. I added the crack about how it matches the inconsistency of the website. Again, as a joke

    Typical Walmart though, tossing things on shelves without paying attention to where they go.

    I just picked up my $12 Hot Rod. Totally forgot to go to the toys and see if these were there.

    I wouldve probably had an aneurysm from all the X-mas fickwiterry shoppers before I made it.
