So does that mean Walmart is responsible for the rumors for a “12/1/17” release? Why would they do something like that? Are they even allowed to do that? I mean if that is the case, then it seems to be backfiring for them as it is throwing people off and, I think to some extent, confusing other retailers.

Yes "forward" sorry about that. Happens tonight at midnight.
payres
Bumped Forward surely? Back would be further into December.
But hurrah!
Dorksidetoys
I've not heard of that, but I can tell you that the pre-order window for online retailers is now being more closely aligned to when mass retailers are about to receive their product. For instance, wave 1 Power of the Primes was originally 12/1 Pre-sell date here in the states, but was just bumped back to 11/22 (tonight midnight) to more closely match what's happening in retail.

I realize I'm late in replying to you, but 12/24 has never been the highest volume day of the year for retail stores. Usually its the Saturday before Christmas, though if there's a year where that Saturday is like 12/22, its typically the weekend before.
YoungPrime
Yeah I'm skipping Wave 1's Voyagers anyway so if Hun-Garr does pop up at retail this December and doesn't look as ridiculous in person as it does in pictures that reveal a cheap retool of Silverbolt then I'm game. That Starscream remold will be a pass to though.

I read this in evil villain Walmart main share holder voice.

Hahahahahahahahahahahaha
You sure know nothing about Walmart. Nothing.
Hasbro will still be their bitch when Walmart has gone bankrupt.
BB Shockwave
Huh. I thought Hasbro could afford to ignore Walmart considering that is an US only store, however large, and they ship to the rest of the world.

To add to that, stores don't restock the toy section for months after the holidays. They just don't.
Purple Heart
Yet Target is the one breaking them.

If the rumors are to be believed, Walmart is blackmailing Hasbro into assigning artificial street dates for online retailers which Walmart themselves don't have to adhere to.
Transboticon
Why are none of the POTP wave 1 pre-orders up on BBTS yet if they are already in stores?
Deathhowl
Anyone got an idea of the bots that will go with starscream and elita 1? I know jazz and moonracer for elita and dreadwind/darkwing for starscream?
SilverOptimus
He informed me. This is corrected. Can't comment on the release date though. Could be an error considering how it aligns with Wave 1 release date.
BB Shockwave
Well then, you should have some words with whoever posted the news post on the first page, given how they posted this as Wave 1 listings. Understandable that people were confused.
