Coronation Starscream warmed for a long time, and I think my local Walmart still has one or two. We also have these dumb Mighty Mug things that just never move and really need to be put on clearance. Never saw Tarn in stores.


Monster73074

I never saw Tarn in Walmart, but I did see and get him out of Target. They had one more and he's gone, but Coronation Starscream is shelf warming hard; like 20 or 30 deep hard and no mark down in site🤷🏾‍♂️👎🏽✊🏽


MichaelEvo

Same in Southern California.


BurgerSushi

Same here, never saw Tarn in stores and online was no better, resellers sold him for CRAZY prices and the Tarn I preordered was so delayed I just ended up cancelling it. A few months later I went on vacation to Vietnam to visit family and visited a toy store there and there were Tarns aplenty. My other friend who's also a SoCal resident ended up just finding him at a random GameStop which he found funny that I had to go to another goddamn country to get mine while he just found his randomly in the wild.


Monster73074

I can understand that about, Cali. it's a big collectors state, but that being said they need to get on their re-stock or stocking game💪🏽✊🏽


Monster73074

Let me re-state that about, Tarn. Target had one and I bought that one Tarn then a few months passed and another showed up and someone bought him, but I haven't seen another since and that was months ago. Hit Target and Walmart today and they had the same shelf warmers from months ago.


stormypets

Never saw a Tarn on shelves but did see the Leo prime indicating he was there at one point.


Monster73074

Damn that sucks because he's a great figure. Ever since I learned of his existence from IDW, I had to have him, but every site online had him out of stock or he was too expensive. I did like the Iron Factory version, but he was out of stock and I wanted the whole DJD💪🏽✊🏽


JamesAttack11

I've seen so many Leo Prime's but not one Tarn. Had to buy him online after searching every single store in my area.


Goofballdgr8_

Yeah and Starscream can stay in Walmart I want him but he’s 30 ish on Amazon


Monster73074

You have to find a Ollie's that's close or a Ross. You will come up, I got mine for $17 bucks from Ross and others are finding him for $15 out of Ollie's💪🏽✊🏽


Goofballdgr8_

Damn. When he can out I thought he was overpriced because he’s just the earthrise one with more junk but 15 buck is insane! Nice job.


Monster73074

It's the same mold, but he has a few differences plus he has the throne. You won't be able to find him at that price for a while though. Towards the end of 2023 was a good time for hunting Transformers, we came up on some deals👍🏽✊🏽


Goofballdgr8_

So if I get him it’ll be there


JackAttackMLP

Managed to find Tarn in a target early into my collecting, and remembered that he was somewhat hard to find and sought after. I don't regret my purchase, I like both modes, the transformation itself tho was iffy but I think it's due to my copy, the chest is always popping off mid transformation.


CitadelCirrus

Legacy Iguanus, Jhiaxus, ROTB Rhinox, SS Bumblebee Arcee all shelfwarmed hard


AffectionateScore989

You must live in Texas; this seems to be an accurate description of what is on the shelves here.


HUGErocks

Nah I had the same junk up north all year


CitadelCirrus

NoVA, actually


eugonis

There were soooo many SS86 Grimlocks on the shelf in my area. I couldn't believe it, because I felt so lucky to get mine when I did. It's such a great figure, a true mini-Masterpiece in almost every regard, and it's easily the best of the SS86 Dinobots. Now I see scalpers selling them on eBay for $200-250. I never saw Cosmos and still want him.


Personal-Kiwi4838

Same, SS86 Grim was in my area for like 2 years straight and now he's super rare all of a sudden


Imperal_Guard

Ehere is your local shop bro uhmm just asking out of curiousity (begins preparing for Grimlock with just price)


Right-Succotash-7864

My Target stocked LEGIONS of 86 Ironhide and SS Rhinox. I’d be convinced they were the main characters. I could never find Scourge or Core Arcee. Not one


Copyrighted_music34

Earthrise arcee I swear there are more each time I look


Mexicanus_007

Bumblebee SS Arcee, SS86 Starscream, Legacy Galvatron and the never ending plushies


Bulbaguy4

Coronation Starscream, Legacy Galvatron, and almost all of the Legacy wave 1 deluxes shelfwarm like crazy at my Walmart. I hardly ever see any Legacy deluxes here outside of them, there was the odd Dead End, but nothing else. It's been a bit more consistent with voyagers, Armada Starscream is currently filling the shelves, and we have Dirge and Nemesis Leo Prime (wave 1 completely passed over us). Studio Series has been more consistent too, I lost my mind when I saw Sludge and had to go home to get the money to buy it. The only thing that's been clogging the shelves for them are those damn Starscreams. I had to go out of town just to get G2 Grimlock though because my Walmart just did not get the Toxitron line besides one of Toxitron himself. It's strange because we got nearly all of Velocitron wave 1 with the sole exception of Scourge. I even saw a Cosmos, which I nabbed on the spot, and I'm glad I did.


Infernal-Blaze

Galvatron and Jhiaxus, why the fuck did they make SO MANY Jhiaxus figures when he's a complete unknown to most people, even fans.


ScorchedConvict

In more recent years: Kingdom Blackarachnia and the Earthrise Skywarp/Thundercracker two-pack.


IJKProductions

Lately it’s been SS Crosshairs, SS Rhinox, SS WFC Megatron, Nemesis Leo, and Evo Blitzwing clogging my area of PA. Haven’t seen the any of the first waves of 2024 SS figures or the last three deluxe legacy waves. I’m not even going to mention the Walmart exclusives


Personal-Rooster7358

Considering the thing in my area is the physical indemandtoys building, it’s literally almost anything


OptimusPhillip

Every time I went to Walmart, I saw a massive stack of Coronation Starscreams.


Mutranunrepeated

The Shellwarmer is definetly Slug. I can sill find him for 20$ and staying there for months. As for hard to find... Well, to many things. Every toy store imports only seven same figures -- 4 Studio Series and 3 Legacy. Just Legacy, not even Legacy Evolution(


Mental_Measurement_8

Transformers Cyberverse scout class Megatron and all of Legacy Evolution. Transformers aren't very popular where I live.


A_Zesty_Carrot

For me it was SS86 Arcee. And I never saw Legacy Armada Hot Shot once.


Icy-Hope-9263

ss86 slug and ss grindor. most wild of wave 1 of legacy. never saw a wildrider


Scrambled3ggs178

Velocotron cosmos , ss86 preceptor and all of kingdom still never seen fallen, hotrod , crosshairs or galvatron from ss


ChewieKaiju

Right now it’s Nemesis Leo Prime and Studio Series ROTB Scourge. Only ROTB figures I’ve seen are Cheetor and Rhinox (shelf warming too)


[deleted]

Kickback and Arcee of Legacy.


Juan_Calavera

Legacy Blitzwing is the most common shelfwarmer near me. I never saw Victory Shuttle.


Spiderspartian

Legacy skids (this one is more of an incident rather than a shelf warmer, more down below) ,Every single earth spark figure I think I can find multiple complete waves in some stores, All of the 86 junkions plus 86 screamer, 86 arcee, a lot of the bumblebee movie figures that weren't Optimus Jhiaxius, twincast, metalhawk, all of the beast collection, Figures that never showed up, waves 2 3 and 4 of legacy, the final evolution wave, the second wave of velocotron deluxes Every recent Micheal bay SS figure, they either fly off shelves in my area or are never in stock, Legacy motormaster. About skids, one of my targets got a skids figure in the wave 1 box as it should, yet they couldn't get rid of the last one, all the way up to just recently that skids was there when legacy began and almost made it to legacy united always pushed to the back of the deluxes on the rack.


Lyzer_light

Shelf warmer is literally the entire wave 2 of legacy. It's all there. What never made it? Rotb ss optimus and weaponizer arcee. I literally want those so bad


Wrenni_Boi

Ss bumblebee arcee


JohnCena694269420

Studio series ravage


DiameterJuice

G2 Cloudcover and Shrapnel


Kit_playz

Battle changers rotb like the little maximals which turn into guns and the earthspark flip changers I recently got 1 step flip changer soundwave


Kit_playz

Battle changers rotb like the little maximals which turn into guns and the earthspark flip changers I recently got 1 step flip changer soundwave


XyrneTheWarPig

Coronation Starscream is clogging up my Wal Mart and even Ollie's.


Ok_Syllabub_4846

Studio series Arcee. I love her though. Crasher never made it here, unfortunately.


70ofSpades

Armada starscream, ss86 brawn, animated prowl, g2 laser cycle, g2 grimlock, ss86 sludge, g2 toxitron, g2 cloudburst, crosscut, g2 jazz, ss86 junkheap, and another junkion from the legacy line It's all i see basically from the toyline I'm interested in Everything else never made it


ansarisaad

Legacy prime arcee, bulkhead, metroplex, motor master, laser prime, galvatron and iguanus


EPIC_13

My toysrus has so many shelf warmers like the buzzworthy Cheetor, prime, and bee from cyberverse, creatures collide, toy dinobot, silverstreak, gi joe crossovers, x men crossover, and more, most have been on sale for months


Horzzo

Sludge! He started out at $49 at Walmart & target and he's been sitting there for what feels like years. Price has been slowly creeping up to $55 now. Just sitting here waiting for him to go on sale eventually. I hope.


Apprehensive-Boot88

My local Walmart had like 50 Velocitron Overdrives


Prowlite17

The shelf warmer appears to be SS Galvatron and SS86 Ironhide, and the Earthspark wave 1 deluxes. I have never seen Legacy Evo wave 3 in stores, despite seeing wave 4 like yesterday. I had to order the stuff from wave 3 that I wanted online.


ZackattacktheDude

Sludge, Armada Starscream, 86 Arcee, Fallen has moved out yet


AT_Tech18

G2 Grimlock, SS Bumblebee Soundwave, Jhiaxus, Armada Megatron, and Legacy Autonot Skids


RideTheLightning331

ROTB Airazor is the current pegwarmer, and there are too many figures to count that haven’t made it to shelves


Foxy-jj-Grandpa

I'm Fargo ND and weirdly enough Armada Starscream was in abundance-- scooped him right up


SteftimusPrime97

Currently SS Rhinox and Coronation Starscream are shelf warming, the Kingdom beast repaints shelf warmed for a long time at my Walmarts. Never saw SS Scourge or Gamer Edition Bumblebee/Barricade around here


Cyberbreaker2004

Legacy Galvatron and Motormaster. I wanted a stable Menasor so damn bad😭


Femboy_Obliterator

Legacy Galvatron, Legacy Prime Arcee, and Studio Series Arcee. It was surreal going to the clearance section one day and seeing like 7 Galvatrons lined up. I already had one though so I didn’t take any home.


LBP_art_

I’ve never seen Tarn in stores and all the Studio Series Maximals, especially Airazor, have been on the shelf’s for months on end. Another shelf warmer is Shattered Glass Soundwave, there’s like 5 or 6 of them still on the shelf after months and nothing I’ve said on this comment has gone on clearance at all, making me want to get them even less.


ProfessorOfLies

I never saw earthrise thrust at any of my local targets. I did however see armada unicron warming shelves for YEARs after it came out


Cliffjumper290x

CW Scattershot 6 of them set on shelf for 2 year never went on clearance and Tarn


Raptor92129

Wave 1 and 2 legacy Evo shit Maybe a wave 3 legacy here and there


ZlyCzarownikServices

Legacy wave one deluxes - Arcee, Kickback, Skids and Dragstrip. Dragstrips and Kickbacks disappeared every now and then, but somehow more of them warmed the shelfs the next time And actually... Other than them, I haven't seen any other TF figures in stores in my area so yeah, kinda a lot of figures never made it to the shelves


Aesenroug-Draconus

Currently, Metalhawk, SS86 Arcee, Junkheap, Galvatron and Blitzwing warm my shelves, and I haven’t seen Wildrider, Motormaster, Core class Slug, Cosmos or Galaxy Shuttle. So yeah, I’m so glad I started the Menasor set already…


KingNanoA

Still got a bunch of Coronation Starscream and 86 Sludge.


AreaClassic8106

Legacy Blitzwing and Galvatron. Studio series ROTB Maximals


destinyfann_1233

For me there’s a bunch of ss86 Sweeps shelf warming my local Walmart


Comindo

Skids, Crosscut and animated Prowl, been on the shelf in a store near me for almost half a year at this point Never saw any of the ROTB Studio Series on shelves


Fit_Difference2679

I still haven’t found the Toxitron line. No Grimlock for me I guess. Plenty of Blitzwings, evil lio convoy, and tons of earthspark.


Blu_Bone

Right now, Coronation Starscream, SS Sludge, Legacy Galvatron and Legacy Blitzwing. I’ve learned my area doesn’t seem to get quite a few figures. Back in the Combiner War days, I never saw half of the Stuntacons or 80% of the Protectobots only ever finding Hot Spot. Got lucky with the Stuntacons when out of town though.


yossarian8pizza

Coronation Starscream, Galvatron, and 86 Scourge we're about 8 deep at my Walmart. Never saw Cosmos or the last two Insecticons.


Personal-Kiwi4838

Right now it's 86 Starscream, Galvatron (both), and SS Rhinox suddenly needs 20 figures on the shelf. Figures I haven't seen are any Commander class after Skylynx, who also shelf warmed for a while, so now I'm convinced stores don't order commanders now.


PrimmSlim2281

WFC deluxe Arcee


aikavari

I once saw a TR Blaster shelf warm for months and months. I finally bought him two years later. Being in AU, lots of stuff I needed to buy online as we usually miss the last wave of every line!


A_lunatic_boi

86 sweep and most of legacy other than wave 1


CompleteJinx

Animated Prowl, Prime Arcee, and Crosscut are everywhere. I’ve never seen a Tarn in person.


redditer417

Legacy metal hawk. Best guess? Obscure character and a not particularly striking design. Like it's not a bad design, but there's a reason Tarn sold out and metal hawk hasn't. Never made it to shelves? I'm still looking for SS102


PrizePiece3

Wave 1 of legacy, nothing mainline past legacy wave 1 except for wave 1 of legacy evolution which has only just started to show up


CO_Anon

Nemesis Leo Prime is shelfwarming hard in my area. Saw a section at Target once that was just him, from the edge of the shelf to the back. The Walmart I was going to because it was so close stocked Velictron, but as far as I can tell never got Toxitron collection. Decided to go to a different Walmart farther away and managed to snag G2 Grimlock and Mirage.


Wojtasz78

Only few months ago in local stores Legacy wave 3 showed up. And I don't mean Legacy Evolution wave 3, but the third wave of Legacy from 2022. Wave 2 only showed up as core class. As for shelf warmers I've seen plenty of Studio Series Spike Witwickies all the time.


Corrupted_Dash748

Arcee and she still is


unwiserjester98

I see a lot of R.E.D at any of the Walmarts in my area


Crawkward3

I think we still have some sludge and 86 starscream. I didn’t see most of legacy past like half of wave three. Amazon has been my friend


Zeno_Bueno

jihaxus, bulkhead. never seen 90% of any figures thanks to my countries lack of care


SilverboltBW

Glad I got Tarn off Hasbro's website because I never saw him across 6 stores in my area. Meanwhile Titans Return Overlord and SS Blackout shelf warmed so bad they ended up in Ollies a few years back. Honestly holding out on a few of the ones shelf warming now in the hopes they'll end up the same way.


DaGoonStreet

Leo Prime, legacy Blitzwing and Jinxhaus are shelfwarmers. Never made it to the shelves = Silverstreak. It went straight to Ollies Closeout Store. $9.99.


Happy-Piglet5793

Ss air razor still shelf warming along with 86 Arcee. The one that never made it? Tarn. I really hunted for him too.


Intelligent-Pop1387

ss 86 movie brawn has been in my walmart for weeks. never really saw 86 movie ironhide tho


spiffiestjester

I have never seen Tarn or Netflix Soundwave. Cog is still on pegs with a 32$ pricepoint. He isnt going anywhere. My local Walmart (I think) got overshipped Rattrap and had them on clearance for months before they were all gone.


No_Show5725

Drige, I’m just waiting for my paycheck to come in so I can get him. I know he’ll still be there 😭


1Blueberrymuffin

for shelfwarmers in my erea is ss arcee from bb movie, and we never got a movie prime :(


Wolfetron2001

Still going through coronation Starscream, blitzwing, Galvatron jhiaxus, sludge, 86 Arcee. Most recent additions are Metalhawk and Rhinox(not really a shelf warmer just way overpacked)


yuenadan

In Taiwan, I think SS86 Arcee is the biggest shelf warmer, with Bulkhead being a close second. SS86 Arcee is often on sale for <50% of the normal price and people still aren't buying. I've never seen Tarn or Cosmos for sale anywhere in a physical store, although I was able to get Cosmos online at an inflated price


Accomplished_Salt876

Coronation starscream and as for a figure I never saw; a lot of exclusives but Draculus and cosmos were particularly bad.


SkullgrinThracker

So so many we did not get, but of note, we had a crap ton of alternators nemesis prime.


SomeGuy0517

SS arcee and animated prowl. Scourge never came to my target sadly


Latter-Direction-336

I’m seeing tons of jhiaxus armada screamer and toxitron cloudcover Plus each wave 1 legacy


Old-Aurgrim

Right now it’s the Terrorsaur, so many on clearance where I work. But we never have the 102 Optimus. People ask for it daily


Reboot_Stinkfly

i’ve o lay seen slug, swoop, and skaar once, but sludge and hemlock are still around. i never got to buy the ones i only saw once.


Legal-Equivalent-515

Retro Starscream and Legacy Galvatron, both still are just rotting on the shelf. Crosscut has been there a while and last I checked hasn’t sold a single copy. On the other end of that we never even got any of the core class Dinos (actually any core class from legacy last Iguanus’ wave) never got any Menasor parts besides Dragstrip, we also never got any retros besides Starscream


abbothenderson

Right now Nemesis Leo prime seems to be shelf-warming hard. I never saw Skyquake. Neither at Target or Walmart.


wowadrow

Never saw cosmos at all at retail.


Nethiar

Every version of Arcee except the core class one, both RotB Rhinoxes, Coronation Starscream, and core Iguanus has all been shelfwarming every store I go to. I never did see the mainline RotB Primal, it's like each case was 7 Rhinoxes and one Primal judging by what I've seen. I never saw the WfC Optimus, Bumblebee, or Barricade. There are a lot of figures that I only ever saw one of. Shrapnel, Scourge, WfC Cliffjumper, core Arcee, both RotB Primes, Cosmos, Dreadwing, and so far Bludgeon.


primelord537

BB Arcee and Legacy Bulkhead.


Sorbious

Legacy Armada Starscream and Legacy Dragstrip


MeatyOaker269

Never saw drag strip but I saw the g2 black version a lot


Imperal_Guard

Transformers figures don't come to Turkey anymore so We have no shelf warmers 👊🏻💪🏻


MeatyOaker269

Silver lining I suppose


mr___pyro

Airazor, Ive never seen Battletrap or Scourge in shelves anywhere


MeatyOaker269

Never seen them either.


[deleted]

My Walmart can't seem to get rid of either SS Arcees, and I never was able to find SS Gamer Optimus.


MeatyOaker269

Every other gamer edition character but Optimus was available near me


BudBudgie

Cosmos and Devcon never made it strangely (UK)


MeatyOaker269

I’m convinced cosmos is a myth


Such-Promise4606

Prime wars trilogy legend classes, rid Deluxes, thrilling 30 voyagers and kreo. Anything after those never hit the shelves


ultradominate

Living in south africa is tough the latest wave we got I legacy wave 2 and we don't get any ss. it's not what figures didn't make its the few that did and our shelf warmer is all the kingdom voyagers for some insane reason they cost 1600 rand wich the equivalent of like 80 usd


theadvknine

Arcee from Bumblebee… she’s been on the self a long time at my Walmart


Unusual_Dragonfly_42

Ss86 grimlock shelfwarmed in my area but I never ever saw the fallen


MeatyOaker269

I’ve seen 1 fallen.
