    Canada or US. I am starting to think the US is getting the middle finger on these.

    I wouldn't get too worried yet...I seem to recall Hasbro saying at SDCC that they would be out in the fall. Sit tight...it's still early!

    When Walmart is involved always expect the US to get the middle finger, its a stupid move on Hasbro's part to ever give Walmart exclusive rights to certain Marvel Legends, Star Wars Black Series, or Transformers since they never stock them.

    Well we could be able to preorder them on their website but instead you've got to play a game of catch the Leprechaun, I was only lucky to randomly check one night and got a preorder for Tailgate. Tired of seeing the out of stock page for Starscream, Bee, Swerve, & Outback and every time they go back up I'm in the middle of work its frustrating.

    Hopefully I hate jumping threw hoops to get the Walmart exclusives I want.

    I’ve had some decent luck so far however I’ve had to visit lots of WM’s in my area very frequently(Canada). The staff at WM are pretty useless and it looks like a bomb went off in all the toy aisles! Still trying to get hot rod to complete the collection which is on order with the US. I have a few extras of most so if someone is desperate when the supply runs dry I can part with some for a nominal mark up to cover my expenses driving all over the city, however it’s the shipping that gets a little ridicolous!

    I think you're just being really impatient. I'm sure they'll be warming shelves before you know it, you just think they're hard to find because they're not even really out yet.

    I got this too. I was not nice.

    What date were you quoted for delivery?

    Me too. Has anybody gotten their Minibot preorders from the first round?

    How are people filling out a survey for an item that hasn’t been shipped yet and is still in preorder status?

    All we can comment on is the process of placing the order which is different from quantity or distribution issues

    I called Walmart store customer service a little while ago and the lady to me these are on line only exclusives. She did say that might be out in stores but wan’t sure.

    On another note, I've been hunting Power of the Primes...I went to Walmart two weeks ago and saw the stock papers hanging up...took pics....cross referenced UPCs...etc....I proceeded to go back everyday....sometimes multiple times a day...I talked to employees...I talked to managers....One employee slipped and said another employee keeps toys in the back for himself and others...They finally showed up online for "pick up today"...went there at 2 a.m. last night...nothing...went there this morning...nothing...I told them to get me the day manager...He scanned the sticker on the empty shelf..."There's 3 in the building, but I don't know where"....Nobody knows where these Voyager Class figures are...So in regards to these G1 reissues "being on the shelves soon" and "stop worrying"...You obviously havent spent time in the trenches of Cybertron...Speaking of War on Cybertron...That upcoming Siege line looks pretty cool...Keep scouring Teletraan 1...You might get lucky.

    I'm so frustrated. I pre-ordered Starscream back in July during one of the short windows he was available, but now when I go to Walmart.com there's no record of it. I never received an email, there's no charge. I have to assume my order just vanished into the ether and never went through, even though I was certain it did at the time. Looks like I'm not getting Starscream!
