Oh man look at this shelf .... must stand and admire.

That's insane! I didn't even notice that the leaders were marked down that low. Hopefully the next waves come in while it's in effect. We've been stuck on the first wave for so long here.

I'll post in this thread when I see the G1 figures come in. Looks like the telxon's estimate was too early, but at least the figures are actually on the truck.

UPDATE: I’ve put the Minibots out on the pegs in the TF section. They’re right beside the POTP prime master figures. Happy hunting to all in the Langford Wal-Mart!

1 case of mini bots was on the pegs when I went in the Langford BC Walmart this morning. Got the full set including the one Outback. Bumblebee, Tailgate and Swerve still there.

I think its pretty cool they get revealed at SDCC and before the weekend is over we have the first set.

I know. Canada has been really lucky when it comes to TFs lately.

Also while Hot Rod and Devastator are not in the system yet, Starscream is:



Always something to look forward to in this hobby

Thanks for the update.

Woof, that $50 price tag for Starscream! I know, I know inflation, exchange, etc. It still stings though.

On the other hand, if that screen is accurate, then Starscream will come in a case of 6!?!? If right, then there should hopefully be enough for those who really want him.

Just so you know, thats not a real pic from that time. Someone did it in their home using their collection.

It might as well be ... thats pretty much exactly how I remember them back in the mid 80's, with the exception that the packing was fresher and obviously certain figures there I never saw at retail. But the diversification of figures and the shelves being fully stocked were what I remember. Toy shelves are abysmal today.

I think these are the same minibots as in the Takara Encore 10 package previously released. The Takara pack also had Pipes.

Is anyone able to read the item numbers on the Walmart receipt? I can't quite make them out.

[pandaprime]

0630509 68971R = Tailgate
0630509 68972R = Outback
0630509 68973R = Swerve
0630509 68974R = Bumblebee

R is on the receipt but on the card back instead of letter R it is number:

2 = Tailgate
9 = Outback
6 = Swerve
3 = Bumblebee
Hope this helps!
