You have not read that wrong. The non transforming Transformers Titan Guardian figures, based on G1 characters models were at first SDCC exclusives and came in a box set at the 2013 show. Two years later, these same toys recieved an individual release at Big Lots, for $5 USD each. And 5 years after first appearing at SDCC, these have now reach Walmart Canada as Walmart exclusives.

An extra wrinkle is that the selection appearing at Walmart Canada is a mix of the G1 toys which were at first SDCC exclusives and the Prime toys. Megatron, Starscream, Optimus and Soundwave are from the G1 line while Shockwave and Bumblebee are from the Prime (Beast Hunters) line. This information was gathered from a few sigthings and the images below come from fellow Seibertronian Sunstar. This fan already owns the SDCC version and commented on the differences:

Here we have SDCC Starscream on the right hand side and walmart ex on the left hand side. they are absolutely identical - with two exceptions as far as I can tell. The hole in the back from the placement of the label for walmarts and the gold canopy seems more gold on the SDCC than on the Walmart variant (seems more bronze).
