that would have made WAY more sense, particularly if Kingdom WJ really is a straight repack (as assumed/rumored) of a figure that has been available widely for nearly a year and will be getting a release shortly beforehand in the Netflix line with an only marginally different deco.

Im surprised hasbro wont rerelease bumblebee in kingdom, wouldve prefer him over wheeljack
Fenrys
That rumor was bogus, don't believe it
SinisterSpinister
It was a 4chan rumor if I recall correctly

Where did you hear this?

I thought "collector con" was pretty straightforward. We're collectors and they've conned us.
Superquad7
Walmart doesn't have a clue how to remotely cater to collectors. Then again, most brick and mortar stores don't, either. Nor do they know how to run online sales to handle such. What a circus.
Grand Slam
If marketing people were more honest they’d be lawyers or politicians.

“Collector Con”
How thoroughly disingenuous.

Damn, Transformers Headmasters pre-orders aren't available yet.
Can't wait to see my Headmasters pre-orders cancelled!
Fenrys
I have day 1, minute 1 preorders on netflix wave 2 that haven't gotten canceled, so I'd say there's not much stock in that theory, their system just sucks
Purple Heart
Your giving Walmart too much credit.
DetectiveFork
Does Walmart automatically cancel pre-orders after a certain time? (And then the pre-orders pop immediately back as in-stock?) Maybe the constant delays on these toys is causing the problem?
Lore Keeper
There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to how they do the cancelations. I jumped on the preorders as soon as they went up. Over time, I've had Optimus, Impactor, and Wheeljack cancelled. So far, the others are still good. Why those three, I'll never know. I can't imagine Impactor or Wheeljack being the most in demand figures in the line.
PrimalFury
I preordered all of them in July, theyve all been canceled, was able to reorder Elita One but idk why they need to cancel my preorders, I mean I preordered so why?
T-Hybrid
I think leaks have laid out the entire retail assortment.
But allegedly there are three packs coming that are an Autobot, a Fossilizer, and one of the missing S1 Predacons.
Bee is supposedly in one.

Link to Soundwave?
NM. Looks like its already out of stock. Guess my Takara version from Anime Export is still the best bet…
Until I find it on the shelf in a few weeks.
DecepticusPrime
Make an order over $35. last time i needed to, i ordered some monsters for instore pickup
Maximus Danz
You know how we got the Mini Wheelie with Grimlock and we are getting a mini Daniel with Slag?
I 100% expect a moon base 2 two-pack of Exo Spike and Bee.

It's still bullshit even if we can reorder. I initially ordered Elita and Soundwave shipped to store, so I wouldn't have to pay shipping. They haven't cancelled my Soundwave yet (but looking at the way things are going…), but when trying to order Elita now they won't give me the option for store pickup, so I have to pay shipping now.
