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.
