Revision as of 09:07, 13 April 2012
Walmart (previously parsed as "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.

TEN DOLLARS. These were placed mostly on pallets pretty much wherever there was room in the aisle.

List of non-toy Walmart exclusives
Movie (2007)
- Transformers movie DVD with exclusive bonus DVD Beginnings
Unreleased toys
Over the years, some toys that were originally intended as Walmart exclusives were ultimately never released. In some cases, they were ultimately made available through other venues instead.
- Leatherhide vs. Blackarachnia (Halloween Horrorcons)
- Nightprowler vs. Waspinator (Halloween Horrorcons)
- Piranhaking giftset, contains:
This set of "Piranhacons" was originally intended for the Universe line, but Walmart had later asked Hasbro to release it in Energon packaging instead before backing out of the deal altogether. Eventually, the toys, now named "Seacons" again, were released via the Transformers Collectors' Club in 2008.
Notes
- A 2009 television ad for Walmart's "Cyber Week" deals featured two moms discussing the "Revenge of the Fallen Ramjet Raptor" figure available at Walmart, only to be interrupted by an overweight "nerd" who gleefully informs them that the "Ramjet raptor figure was added to the Transformers family in 2009," although he personally prefers Skywarp.
- God dammit. We're totally the new Trekkies, aren't we?
- For the 2011 release of Dark of the Moon, Walmart had exclusive retailer rights to use Sentinel Prime in their signage and marketing as part of their "Power of the Primes" campaign. [1]
