The unexpected level of success 2001's ''[[Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2001 toyline)|Robots in Disguise]]'' line enjoyed meant Hasbro suddenly found themselves putting out quite a lot of exclusives to meet demand. Walmart would more or less have the lion's share of these through this line and the next several years.


{{Note|This was the first of two Ruination giftsets Walmart carried as an exclusive. The first one, still in ''Robots in Disguise'' packaging, sported a uniform "urban" camo deco for the team members; the second one, now in ''[[Transformers: Universe (2003 toyline)|Universe]]'' packaging, sported a uniform "desert" camo deco.}}
Curiously, the "urban camo" Ruination set and yellow [[Black Friday (event)]] Landfill sets came out in the packaging style of the [[Transformers: Armada (toyline)|''Armada'' toyline]], but still labeled as part of ''Robots in Disguise''. A few other stores got exclusives like this, and it only gets weirder in the next section....

A very strange sub-line, ''[[Transformers: Dinobots|Dinobots]]'' had ''Armada'' style packaging, complete with character "card" stickers, but was seemingly its own disconnected thing, with no fiction attached. Still, it brought US fans two molds that had previously only been available by importing them from Japan.

Walmart (previously spelled Wal-Mart until 2008) 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 toys, in addition to the regular mass retail releases.

Walmart employees are also often accused of not really caring about what they sell in addition to a lax return policy, making Walmart one of the main victims of toy swapping.

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