I kinda like that k2 holiday droid. Definitely gonna be looking for him.

As usual, Walmart's website sucks. Been trying repeatedly for nearly an hour to add the Transformers Perceptor to the shopping cart and it always says "your cart is empty" when attempting to checkout.

I was easily able to order the Shadow Tracker and Wolf Spider Classified figures, which surprised me. I now await my cancelation emails.

Was hoping Walmart would finally add Mcfarlane's Black Lightning today. I got the link to work when I wasn't signed in and once I signed in the link stop working.

Stop giving exclusive figures to fucking Walmart.

Never pre-ordering anything from Walmart again. Screw them.

Walmart needs to stay away from action figures. They dunno what they’re doing with them.

Ordered Shadow Tracker from Walmart because Pulse was sold out (paying for Premium is looking weaker and weaker all the time) and momentarily thought about getting Soundwave but ugh....

Soundwave is literally the only Transformer I've ever wanted, especially the original toy, but $45 dollars when they dropped almost every drop of paint, plate, stickers and metal? I'd rather buy a bootleg that looks original, than an official that looks bootleg.

Super long time reader of this forum, first time poster here. I haven't been a fan of WalMart in the past. My regular WalMart has not been great (or even good - let's just call it crappy) as far as keeping the shelves clean and stocked. Came close to just pulling the ebay route on the Vampire Green Lantern and Black Lightning from McFarlane gold label I don't know how many times in the last 2 weeks. On a whim I decided to visit an out of the way area WalMart. Low and behold I was holding both in my hands shortly thereafter. In fact, this store had things I hadn't seen at retail, maybe ever. Store was clean and super organized. Multiple Black Lightning and 5 or 6 Green Lantern Vampire, all stacked neatly on the shelf. And the pegs were full of a variety of figures from the Bat movie, to Titans and even older McToys. I was stunned. New SP Batmobile, SP Invisible Jet, and a number of older McToys figures. Glad I was patient this time.

The way I did it today - when in preview mode before 10 am - Added to favorites. Then went to app in phone, and loaded my list. When 10 am hit, a button appeared on list that allows you to add all on list to cart. Did that, checked out.

I did not try to do that for the McFarlane figures, never saw them populate as in stock or preview mode, in either format. Just Joe and TF.

However, the favorite_it -> list -> add to cart method might help you guys check for in-stockness and quick snag it a bit easier, long term that is.

Vamp Hal always shows out of stock on Walmart's Website and Black Lightning's link only works if you're not signed in at least for me. It's really frustrating. Had Black Lightning been Target exclusive I would have had it ordered no problem off their website.

ya its also annoying these figures are being found in stores yet nothing on the website

I'm still waiting to get the Walmart-exclusive Super Powers figures from the last two waves because Walmart won't let me buy them online, and my local Walmart doesn't seem to have gotten a single McF figure since wave 3 of Super Powers. I despise getting exclusives through them, although, their bizarre price-matching snafu with the Range-Vipers meant I got both of mine for free. Still, I'd rather have 2 retail price RVs than no SP Black Manta & Reverse Flash. :/
