Yesterday we got all the official images of the upcoing Walmart exclusive G1 reissues. These includes Starscream, Devastator, Hot Rod and several minibots. These same reissues were also shown in their packaging at San Diego Comic Con and Seibertron has images for you. On display were Bumblebee (sporting the remolded cartoon face), Devastator and Starscream. The packaging is as close to the G1 packaging as possible. We can see Bumblebee's instructions on the back.
These are said to be available in the next few days so check this article which includes the links to all the Walmart listings.

If they dont do that then they have a harder time being able to sell in Canada.

This could be online only like some of their previous Transformers exclusives.
What's interesting about the Constructicons is that they appear to be using a uniform shade of green instead of the two-tone green of the original and Encore 20 (but not 20A). I think it's a better look for the figures.
I'm really just aiming for the mini cars.

No thanks! G1 was the most awesome thing back in the 80's but that ship has sailed. G1 toys are complete crap now. I look at them & can't believe I thought they were cool when I was a kid.

An odd thing but I both agree and disagree with this. I agree because I think it's further pandering and the prices are not realistic for the toy itself but on the other hand if people want them, then they should feel free to get them, will probably be cheaper then tracking down originals. G1 toys were great in the 80s but that's where they should have stayed...in my opinion but c'est la vie

I think a very select small amount of them do still have some degree of holding up to this day, like Soundwave and Fortress Maximus in particular, but overall I do agree as well.ZeroWolf wrote:Aimless Misfire wrote:fenrir72 wrote:please support these products people!

Awesome thanks! Preordered! The only other one I must have is Devy. Still on the fence with Hot Rod and Bee.

I'm only after Tailgate and Swerve out of the rest of these guys. My G2 Devy will do for now.
Super excited to complete my Seeker trio after 34 years.

Scroll down to the bottom.
I didn't find Bee, Swerve, or HotRod, but al the others are there.
You can bookmark Devy in case you want to hawk him.
Edit: Whoa. Weird. After checking my link the search results changed since the last time I looked. Devy is not there, Tailgate is active, and now Swerve is up but Outback is gone.
Edit Edit: Now I've lost them all. Walmart.com is an absolute mess to navigate.

Yeah, most were available today (including Starscream) but all were eventually sold out
Also, your handy news staffer already compiled the entire list to walmart links: https://www.seibertron.com/transformers ... ues/41614/
Also, Outback is shortpacked to accomodate 3 BBs (which also sold out insantly)

I've been checking the website pretty regularly. The one time this week I haven't checked for about 3 hours is the exact time it goes in and out of stock.

It seems that a new variety of rubsigns has debuted with these reissues, differing from the old kind in a few ways. Aside from a more reflective silver, the actual "rubsign" part itself is apparently made from a softer material, and the Autobot logo appears simply as red rather than a variety of colors depending on the temperature.
Check out the image of the sighting below, and check Samsonator's Twitter post for a video showing off the new rubsigns! Share any thoughts you may have in the Energon Pub Forums, and stay tuned to Seibertron.com for more Transformers news!

It's just Surrey.
Honestly, at a job years ago, as I lived in Surrey, I was asked to go through the customer database and fix the addresses of people who rather than just saying they lived in Surrey, had entered South Surrey (doesn't exist) or Sunnyside (just neighborhood) or White Rock (a separate city). You can tell yourself you don't, but Canada Post says you do.
Back on track however, I was at the Walmart in Central City (Surrey Place) last night and no sign of these.

You're not wrong, I live in Surrey, but close to White Rock. When I say "South Surrey" I (just speaking for myself, here) mean "the southern part of Surrey". Specifically this was the Walmart at 24th Ave and 160th street. Sadly, after I got through with it, there was only a Tailgate left.

I figured that was where you ment, thanks for clarifying, and sorry for the aggravated response. It's something that has bothered me for years that rather that changing the stigma of Surrey that many would rather try to deny they live there, not caring that by doing so they were making that stigma worse.
I'll either be at Nordel or Guildford tomorrow and will post if I see anything.

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

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

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