Re: Walmart.ca Transformers Sightings and discussion

I'm so confused about timing on this stuff. There was another release around noon? Damn, I missed that thinking that they wouldn't restock twice in 12 hours (and because I can't keep watch on the product listing constantly throughout the day if I want to get anything done)

Re: Walmart.ca Transformers Sightings and discussion

Because I so rarely order from Walmart's online setup (I think the last thing was a clearance on the 35th anniversary Siege Soundblaster) I'm curious: do app/website orders do the same shenanigans that TRU does where you submit your order and there's a very real probability that it gets cancelled because it was phantom stock or inventory count lag or whatever?


Or is it a pretty safe bet that if you get confirmation of an order through that it means you'll get what you wanted?


I just want to prepare myself for how it works if I place an order on something that is so flighty in terms of stock levels.

Re: Walmart.ca Transformers Sightings and discussion

The only issue I had with Wal-Mart was with a pre-order. I pre-ordered Earthrise Megatron and they never fulfilled it, even though stock appeared on the website and in-store. I think others had a similar issue with the Allicon and/or Quintesson pre-orders from Walmart.

I have never had issues with website in-stock items. If I've been able to add such items to my cart and check out, they have always come through for me.

Now 1 Chromedome and 2 of the other 3 available.

Re: Walmart.ca Transformers Sightings and discussion

I think I might've been able to snag the Chromedome.


Fingers crossed.

good luck...

they are looking sold out now again.

I wonder if someone has been opening cartons today and scanning items into stock inventory.

These may all yet reappear a few more times.

If I do get it that completes the wave 1 set for me (big tip of the cap to Soundwaves for selling me the extras he had of the other 3).

Good luck to anyone else that's still trying to secure any of them.


I never got the TR originals because I got into collecting again at the start of PotP, so these are a nice pickup especially for the Takara heads (over on TFW2005 I've been doing guided watch-throughs of all the old series and we did Headmasters last year, that being the first time I've watched the whole series through start to finish. It was... a ride, lol)


They're surprisingly fun figures. I love the color on Brainstorm. I'm hopeful that Highbrow/Wierdwolf/Skullcruncher won't be quite as much of an adventure when they show up.

Re: Walmart.ca Transformers Sightings and discussion

I just tried not to lose it at a Walmart rep in store and online.

If your buy something on the app or website, and the price drops, they won't price adjust it at the store. Nor will they let you refund it and re-purchase it at the lower scanned price, because they claim they may ship it back to the online department as soon as you refund it.

But they say you're free you waste your time and try to buy it online or in-store.

They also won't price adjust online. Why, you ask? It's because they secretly change the SKU of the item your night when it drops in price and won't let you price adjust. I just tried to price adjust a SS86 Blurr, cause it dropped a few bucks, and neither the store or online department employee would be of any help. The SKU I bought it ends with a 4, the current SKU end with a 3. But it's the EXACT same item. That is some shady practices there.

This is why I don't actively sell out to buy transformers at Walmart anymore.
