'''Walmart''' (previously spelled "Wal*Mart" in the official company logo) is one of the biggest discount department store chains in the United States, with branches in many other countries.

Over the years, they have carried a lot of [[exclusive]] ''Transformers'' [[toy]]s, in addition to the regular mass retail releases.

Walmart employees are also often accused of not really caring about what they sell, making Walmart one of the main victims of [[toy swapping]].

Walmart is also the parent company of [[Sam's Club]].
