    I've actually seen a ton of Micromaster bubbles detached from the cardback, some only a week after they first put them out. I'm guessing faulty glue.

    Saw this at Target today - not quite the clunker I was hoping for:

    That looks like my Walmart, except yours actually has pegs for the TFs. I think mine gave up on them...

    I got one worse...

    5-6 rows for pretty much all of the size classes and NONE of the toys in stock, just a bunch of "out of stock" tags all over the place. 3 of those rubber figures in the display box. That's the long and short of their Transformers offerings on the pegs and shelves and it's been that way since Christmas, I heard.

    Yours at least has an excuse, this one's just a cruel reminder of what you CAN'T have. =\

    Walmart strikes again! This time it's their effort to keep toys from being stolen:

    At my local Target.
    Not only did he return the first SS Starscream in the new ones box, he took the gun.

    Well, it does mention Swindler on pack. Someone took that literally.


    To be fair, Hasbro had only 30+ years to get it right! :rolleyes:

    Saw a set of the car Micromasters on an endcap yesterday, went to pick it up by the bubble and the whole thing came apart! They probably switched to some new cheapo glue formula to save on cost.

    The cards are like that all over. I've seen Deluxes, Legends, even G1 reissues with cards like that, so it makes sense that Micromasters would be like that too. I'd imagine Battlemasters look like that as well.

    Here in the UK carded figures tend to also have clear sticky tape holding the bubble to the card. Which can be handy the few times I've bought a figure and the glue has come undone and it's just the tape still holding the bubble on.

    Some Targets are remodeling too.....the one near me started, I asked a Associate there if they had Siege Wave 2 Deluxes but they where unavailable due to remodel........

    My Walmart seems to be going thru the pre inventory slump, and we’re supposed to have some higher ups (VP of the company or similar to Home Office) visit tomorrow, as they where more concerned with cleaning the store and getting shoes/ Lawn & Garden stocker than or Transformers section.......as they should, I’m sure new stuff would be in soon
