Fans will be happy to know that they can #jointhebuzz vintage style now with the Generation 1 Minibot reissues arriving at US Walmart stores. This reissue series includes the original Generation 1 Bumblebee from 1984 as well as his fellow Minibots Swerve and Tailgate (as featured in the popular More than Meets the Eye and Lost Light series) as well as Outback. The set of four were spotted in a Walmart in California by Toy Shiz on Instagram.
Happy hunting, one and all.

Just Outback, Bee, Swerve and Tailgate, right?

Anyone know how to refer to this display when calling a Walmart? No one locally in MA has a clue what I'm talking about & directs me to their web site.

And on the bright side, at least the shippers come with about 75 of them. Hopefully there are plenty to go around for everyone for a few days at least.

Fresh display out at the Walmart near me tonight. Half the cards were beat to hell already, but I think I got a decent set for myself, another local, and two extras to finish off my nephews set. I really need to quit buying stuff.

These are available in Canada as well, for at least a month now at Walmart. Certainly at the one on Vancouver Island in Duncan.

NO WAY! I must check Walmart soon!

I just picked up my $12 Hot Rod. Totally forgot to go to the toys and see if these were there.
I wouldve probably had an aneurysm from all the X-mas fickwiterry shoppers before I made it.

He's joking man, I did the same thing on the previous page. I added the crack about how it matches the inconsistency of the website. Again, as a joke
Typical Walmart though, tossing things on shelves without paying attention to where they go.

Nope. I just checked Brickseek for the UPC for Bumblebee and it shows out of stock for the store I was at.

Walmart has had the dubious practice of shoehorning stuff into the toy aisle.

They're all the same price, the ones in the pic are just on the wrong pegs.

… They're reissuing WHAT?!?!?!?
ZapRowsdower
Wow. Three different prices!
Bravo, Walmart! Another successful win in the "who-gives-a-f*ck?" category!
