Well yeah. I noticed at the convention, people love to grab boxes at the top and jam their thumb into the window (instead of anywhere there's cardboard). Without the window in the way, I wouldn't be surprised if they make a fist and crush the entire top. That's what the rare Legacy figure that I see at retail usually looks like anyway.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the Sideswipe just wasn’t put out because it was too far gone to justify putting it on the shelf.
StarSaber
You do.

Hasbro Pulse. I'm not about to mess around with Walmart distribution, especially for exclusives.

My wife had sideswipe in her hands and I told her to put it back along with the other deluxe at the time.
He's the only one I can't find

Do I recall correctly that you work at Wal-Mart?
StarSaber
Word from higher-ups is that Walmart does NOT like the new, window-less packaging since their exclusive boxes are getting crushed and look like crap on the shelves.
-SS (the only "green" they are concerned with has dead Presidents/people on them.)

All the boxes were just as messed up, but at least they had these two at Walmart today. Now I just need Sideswipe (the one I’m wanting the most, of course…)

Things aren't much better here (Homestead FL).
I have yet to see a singe figure from wave 6 except Nemesis Leo and I only saw him at Target, not Walmart.
The only reason I got Devcon and Dirge is that I got FOMO'd into buying them on Amazon.
DKCA
That's more than what's at my local Walmart (Central CA), which is chock full of older Legacy and Studio Series toys. I really thought the issues last year with Velocitron Cosmos were the bottom of the barrel. Looks like, for now, I am wrong since NONE of the Toxitron figures have shown up yet, and many of them are not available online for retail (and the ones that are available I don't really want). Sigh.

so unfortunately the silver one got canceled but I’ll try and get one from another printer/seller
really dig it, went with resin and plastic the resin was way better looking XD

The only ones I haven't seen in store are Toxitron and Tequila Sunswipe.
Those, of course, being the last 2 I wanted from this capsule.
The one I've seen the most of is Laser Cycle Jazz.

Damn. I really lucked out on this that after canceling my Pulse preorders, I wandered into a Walmart I rarely go to and they had at least one of everything.

You guys got a case?

I’m near south Atlanta, GA and early last month when the Toxitron collection first started to show up at stores I would literally see 4-6 G2 Mirage each at the 4 Walmart stores I would frequent. I even tell my good friend that I was disappointed since it seemed that g2 mirage was unloved and a shelf-warmer since the figure was my most wanted in the collection.
Weeks later all the g2 Mirage figures are gone. It took over 3 weeks for all the g2 mirage to sell.

I was lucky enough to see them once. Wasn’t great timing with other summer expenses, but now damn am I glad I bought them when I did.
spovolny
Where are people picking up mirage and deadend from? I've seen zilch at my local Walmarts, considering going in on AliExpress.
Boople Barp
Oh, I don't mean I want a wave 2. I mean I woudld have liked to see more than a case or two shipped to the stores.
DracoPrimal
That's fine, but they could have used so many other words instead of the ONE that'd obviously name tje group conflated with a well-established specific subset of Decepticons. Maybe they didn't want the reference to be so obvious, but Star Jammers to Star Seekers could have been:
Star Skimmers / Scammers / Sailors / Snatchers / Sinkers…
Dread Cyrates
Pirates of the Nebulae
Deep Sixers
Galawags
Void Riders
… just not using "Seekers"…
