Walmart.ca Transformers Sightings and discussion

[LM75]

ok so this is likely and error? i order SS41 scrapmetal yesterday and it still says in progress so basically i can expect to see a cancelation at some point?

Finally got my Cloud Cover and Toxitron delivered.


Man O' Man Walmart just can't help themselves with problems.


They sent them both in the shipping box for Toxitron (2 per case). So I thought they would arrive in good conditon because the box was in good shape.


NOPE!!!!!!!!


Both boxes are nice and smashed in at the top. Looks like someone either stepped on them, or put something heavy on top of them.


Thankfully I am going to open both of them so it doesn't matter, but I have to check and make sure the contents are in good shape. Looks like it so far but I haven't had the chance to confirm.

Should call in anyway, see if you can get partial refund or credit.

Mind it doesn't help that the new boxes are incredibly flimsy. But they shouldn't be trashed.

I'm not a MISB collector unless it comes in damaged and I'm talking to Walmart or Amazon customer service.

Does anyone have any idea if G2 Dead End, Sideswipe and Mirage will end up on the Walmart.ca website? I'm getting sick of going to the same damn Walmarts in my town every day to barren shelves. There has to be an easier fucking way of doing this.

Yep, past week's results lead to it all being a massive error. I'd be super jealous if you actually received a scrapmetal. I missed out on the initial release and now it's impossible to find for less than insane scalper prices.

Best luck some have had other than actually finding it on shelves is finding out that they've been holding it in their backroom. One store had a whole case (2 of each) sitting in the back that seemingly wouldn't have been put out if no one asked about it.

86 Coronationscream marked down to $51.82,
sold & shipped by WalMart

Keep in mind this could be more phantom stock, but that's a decent price

Yeah Walmart (both sides of the border) is a minefield right now for their website. Lots of problems and issues.


I lucked out a couple months ago and got Coronation SS for $35(+ tax) when they had it on sale then.

Fucking Walmart.ca has delayed my Toxitron, Cloud Cover and G2 Jazz! Dammit.

So like, is there a hidden street date for Toxitron content?

I'm seeing claims that "Toxitron is the new Velocitron"
They're both Walmart-exclusive sublines
And the whole DeadEnd/Sideswipe shortpack mirrors last year's Cosmos/Clampdown phenom

Went to a WM recently that didn't have any Toxitron out
When I asked about it (using the website's G2 Jazz listing to provide SKU/UPC details), they initially said "ah we've got 8" (a full case's worth)
But when they went off to go ask about it, the staff came back with an older staff, and they were examining the regular section's pegs (which, I mean, I already looked? that's why im asking, but i guess they have to be thorough)
And then ultimately "ya I guess we dont have any"

Wondering if the case is in the back but is like, hidden away? Like for a street date
