Walmart.ca Transformers Sightings and discussion

[kirbenvost]

I'd probably just go with both and cancel/return one if the other shows up. Personally, Amazon still seems more reliable than Walmart, but I'd say if one is actually in-stock versus preorder there's a much higher chance you'll actually get it.

There's a risk of cancelled/unfulfilled orders either way.


I never did get my dead-end from Walmart though they did ship Pointblank and Crankcase.


On the flip side I ordered a whole swath of stuff from Amazon and got all of them with no issue (Needlenose, Inferno, SS86 Ironhide, Skullgrin, Bomb-Burst) though I am still waiting on the Hot Shot that's apparently not releasing until March.


If nothing else Amazon's customer service is generally a bit better than Walmart's because if something in your order goes sideways Walmart's first instinct is "we'll just cancel your order and let you do it again" even when that won't work whereas Amazon will usually help you sort things out with at least some sense that they're honestly trying to help you rather than just meeting a quota of customer interactions cleared.

Nice, just got a notification that my $21.42 Scraphook, needlenose and hot shot have shipped. Thnks WM, now have wave 2 up for preorder at that price!

Whoa, just got my shipping notice for Scraphook and Needlenose as well. I'd totally forgotten.

Already got them from GS with that discount unfortunately, but it will be good to return them and get that money back lol

Yeah I got notice of those and Tarn. No Leo Prime though and Dead End is still delayed.
