That did not last long, as the IGN article indicated, the G1 reissues were going to go on sale at Walmart.com this week. Most did and they sold out within less than a day. Starscream is still available for preorder though. While these are showing up at brick and mortar in Canada, we have yet to get a brick and mortar sighting in the US. We have included the links below for you to bookmark them, preorder those available, or sign up for in stock alerts.

Here is hoping all those who want these toys get them. Also, just for info, if any of you have any inclination towards getting Outback, do not hesitate if you see him. He is short packed in order for there to be three Bumblebees, which are also in incredibly high demand due to the remolded cartoon face never before released in the US.

Here are the links:

Hot Rod for $29.84
Devastator for $74.00
Starscream for $34.76
Bumblebee for $7.99
Outback for $7.99
Tailgate for $7.99
Swerve for $7.99

While still out of stock, Bumblebee's price jumped up to $10.22, but not the others. Hmmm...

Of course not. They're all ultra limited edition. So go to your friendly scalper and pay 3 times it's worth!
It's MP Starscream all over again.

Yeah, I'm of little faith here and pretty bitter. But eh.....

Heh I'm still holding onto some faith. I think it'll restock again, maybe closer to ship date. Here's hoping....

Well if they sold out that fast, maybe they will do more reissues in the future.

Re: First Round of Stock of Walmart Exclusive G1 Reissues Sold Out (1973118)
Posted by Mindmaster on July 22nd, 2018 @ 11:59am CDT

Eh, I’ll wait to see them in-stores. Unless they turn out like Power of the Primes Wave 2 in that they’re ridiculously hard to find, then I’ll order online.

I'm tepid on the whole G1 re-issue thing. I mean - toy tech has improved so much since then. I had a G1 Starscream, and I wearied of all the partsforming you had to do.

I think we all know that feel. If I get a second chance, I'll buy online. Otherwise the hunt is on!

I bought Starscream from Robot Kingdom. With shipping, it's about double the Walmart price. But at least I don't have to visit Walmart.com everyday or spend more than the retail price on gas driving to stores every week. Not to mention my time. Thank god for RK, TCP et al. My time is worth far more than the slightly inflated price they charge.

Posted by boyatlarge on July 22nd, 2018 @ 8:27pm CDT

I fortunately caught the listings when Devastator, Starscream, & Swerve were available so I was lucky enough to preorder those, but missed Hot Rod and the others.

For those of you who mentioned wave 2 of the PotPs, I just found Aleta-1 and Hung-gurr at my local Walmart here in northwest Arkansas.

Says someone from the first country to get POTP toys, and the only country to get most exclusive toys. Those dino casettes may as well be non existant to me and the rest of the world >:oP

Also, to answer the question, Hasbro did say you should see these in stores, but that decision will be Walmart's. Several of their exclusives (see TLK) have only appeared online.

Re: First Round of Stock of Walmart Exclusive G1 Reissues Sold Out (1973262)
Posted by nycPrime on July 23rd, 2018 @ 8:50am CDT

I sincerely hope Walmart has more available online. I would think the online inventory isn't restricted to what they had for a few hours of one day. Especially since I'm sure not everyone lives where there is a Walmart convenient to them.

That's okay, he can just punch the Kangaroos like the rest of us.

Man, those pre-orders went quick.

For $75, I think I will dedicate myself to getting that Devastator, He can go with his giant ass son on my shelf

You punch Kangaroos? Round these parts we kick them instead, fight 'em on their turf y'know?

I've never had much interest in G1 toys or reissues for the most part, but I have always thought about maybe getting a Devastator, at least. Now if only some reissues would make their way over here somehow...

Throw in Energon Constructicon Maximus and Universe (2003) Micromaster Devastator and it’ll be a family reunion!

So where would the infinity-billion 3P Devastators fit in...?

Not an issue for me having the Encore 20/20A but I hope this release which HB is 100% sure to implement (neutering the missile firing mech) will just remove the missile and not gunk up the housing the way they did G2 Devs

God bless Wal-Mart for picking up the slack where Toys R Us left off. TRU didn't even have the MMPR re-issue flip-changer figures. The only place I found them was at Wally World. (also, Hook & Scrapper are mis-transformed in that photo)

Huh. The Seeker Jet eye stickers usually look terrible, but that actually looks pretty good. I sense shenanigans at work unless they've redone the eye decals.

I am concerned about the way the torso is tilting back, I guess the mold wear hasn't been corrected.

The new ones look tampo’d on. Which is fine by me, always thought the eye stickers looked weird.

I use a Swiss knife twizzer and toothpick, and a razor blade and cut around the pentahedron pattern. I don't use that dumbass nose part which ruins the appearance 8-}

If they are tampo'd, about time since Takara was able to implement it for Encore Meister's visor.

And Encore Fort Max's eyes (despite their also including those eye stickers just in case someone feels masochist enough to try and put them on).
