Transformers emphasis at Wal-Mart is over
GI Trekker
supplanted by an aisle-ful of Spider-Man 2 toys.
They still have a decent Transformers section. Does anyone know if they have
any more exclusives planned?
Looks like the only items to be given the clearance aisle rush are the Universe
cars that came with the DVD's or CD-Roms or whatever those were. They get
reduced to $5.00 as of tomorrow, May 1.

don't know if every Wal-Mart is having bargains like this, but it might be
worth your while to find out:
SIDEBURN and PROWL (with Armada CD's) - formerly $10.00, now $5.00
SUNSTORM with Minicons - formerly $20.00, now $10.00
And the shocker...
20th Anniversary OPTIMUS PRIME - formerly $63.32, now $30.00!
If you've been waiting to get the big guy because he was a little beyond your
budget, brother, here's your chance!

Neither are those McFarlane sports semi-statues, if you want to quibble about
it. I don't know where else in the toy department you'd put them, or do you
just dislike Transformers?
And for the record, they're NOT out of the action figure aisle. It's just the
major emphasis that's been discontinued in favor of pushing Spider-Man 2.
There's still plenty of Transformers to be had.

w/ the hot wheels or model cars. shoot, the crash test dummies ACTION
FIGURES are in the die-cast vehicles aisle. it'd make more sense to
stock them w/ the figs!
>or do you just dislike Transformers?
the toys (not action figures) seem to be okay, but i found the cartoon
to be lame! it was like the gi joe cartoon (too silly for me even when i
was a kid).

Well, that answers something. Obviously this grim cynicism you seem to have
dates back a lot further than I thought... :)

As a Transformers fan I advice you to steer clear of the cartoons. They
have been lame for a while. I suppose technically I "wouldn't know" since I
have yet to watch even a clip of Energon, but I've heard enough that I don't
care too. Especially after Armada.

Yeah, Beast Wars Rules. I missed the last half of Beast Machine initially
but then rewatched it later. It was a lot better than expected. Then RiD
came along. It was ok but I lost interest halfway through. At least the
toys were still great. Then Armada. Same deal with the show only replace
"lost interest halfway through" with "Lost interest a quarter of the way
through". And this time the toys were mostly lame. Jump to Energon. I
have a few of the basics and deluxes but probably won't bother with too many
more. They just aren't as good.
