    It's my best non-online source for Transformers...but my closest Walmart only carries Deluxe and Voyager class (and some of the way over-priced G1 reissues). And they're really bad about restocking Voyagers.

    My closest Walmart is in another state due to the mayor of my city banning them from opening here.

    The one out of state is pretty bad but better than the target by me.

    Yea mine blows. They've had about six G1 reissue Primes on the shelf for months even though they won't sell. They haven't had Siege Micro/Battlemasters since early wave 1, and I have yet to see a Leader class figure on the shelf. I've given up checking there anymore.

    Reissues are WAY overpriced. $50 for Optimus with no trailer? No thank you!
    That said, I would have picked up Starscream while it was still in stores had I noticed it came with that gun mode Megatron.

    That's it.

    Did a little rearranging afterwards. Is it bad/weird that I’ll clean up or rearrange the TF section if the toys are thrown all over the place and stuff?

    At first glance, I thought those lines were cobwebs, but then I reread your post and didn't see Harrisburg mentioned.

    Speaking of Harrisburg, that Walmart has nothing but a dozen helicopter Dropkicks. Better scratch that location off my shopping map until next year.

    I do it too. My wife will try to stop me but the section deserves no less than my entire anal retentive OCD.

    Right now at Walmart I keep seeing multiple Studio Series Dropkicks and a few random wave 2 Siege deluxes. Sometimes they get in the Siege voyagers, but they haven't stocked a single Studio Series voyager figure at all. Leaders apparently don't exist there either.

    Not entirely local, but I popped into John Lewis on Oxford Street today and all they had was a Siege Shockwave, and it was on a random shelf. When I asked the staff where their Transformers section was, they said “if we have any they’ll be in the clearance section”.

    I went back to see Shockwave’s price and he’d already gone :eek: 

    All the best

    And I thought my Walmart was bad. It has close to twenty Prowls and Chromias, a couple Battlemasters, a Voyager or two, and some random Cyberverse and SS stuff. The only Siege Deluxes are literally Prowl and Chromia.

    6 Chromias, 2 each of Ironhide, Prowl, and Sixgun.
    And a lone Soundwave. Which is odd but makes me think maybe I didn't miss Springer a few weeks ago. There were 2 Starscreams on the shelf then and the toy manager told me the computer said there were 3 Voyagers in the store but they didn't know where the 3rd one was. So either the 3rd was a Soundwave and has now been located and returned to it's proper place or they didn't find it, sold Starscream, restocked and sold more Starscream.
