Walmart G1 "Canada" Exclusives?



Does anyone else see on the other US boards how they are having a heck of a time with the Walmart website?

Seems availability is a real issue over there. They had online availability issues, lots of online orders cancelled, almost none hit shelves, people are looing their minds over there not getting their G1 Reissues.


However here in Canada they all seem pretty abundant and have been getting re-stocks online and in-stores.

It seems like for once we Canadians are not the ones getting shafted!! Although I do feel a lil bad for fans to the south, must be tough missing out on these.

GO GO

Re: Walmart G1 "Canada" Exclusives?

I've read about the U.S. having problems too, but i hardly feel bad about it. Canadian walmarts are c9mplete shitholes compared to the U.S. ones. In my experiences in U.S. walmarts is that they are usually well stocked at the sections merchandised. In canadian walmarts (at least in Atlantic Canada) we have constantly empty pegs and shelves, very limited stock, and it's clear that the toy section is not a priority for them.

Re: Walmart G1 "Canada" Exclusives?

American Walmarts in Buffalo and niagara falls and surrounding areas are horribly stocked and are worse than Canadian Walmarts, if you want transformers in the usa you have to go to target. There have been a few US Walmarts where I've visited that an employee has told me that haven't had any transformers shipment in 6 months or so. I go down every few months and it's a ghost town down there, we do have better distribution up here, I think Walmart usa relies more on online delivery than in store stock.

Walmart in the US always leaves their collector oriented stuff on walmart.com, like their TLK exclusive Hot Rod last year, so there is nothing new here. These arent canada exclusive at all since the US fans are indeed getting them, they just have to buy them through walmart.com.

In this case, they were both listed online and put on shelves. Just very lightly on both sides. Walmart.com barely had them up for a blink lol. These are not online only exclusives.

Obvisouly it's not a Canadian exclusive, it was a pun because they are having such a hard time getting theirs.

not sure what it means, or if it means anything, but the American boxes have the Hasbro Canada logo on them
