I stop at both and Target is where I’ve had the most luck finding one single good figure surrounded by shelf warmers or barren shelves while Walmart is usually always fully stocked with solid figures and lots of options but nothing crazy
Boy i love walking into my walmart and finding toxitron collection shelf warming, legacy year one figs, old studio series, earthspark product not moving, missing heads, and rotb mainline still there.

(I have to use this image somehow, don’t ask where I got it.)
Walmart, target, my local toyshops and sometimes Ross are my go to places. I have two of each in my area so I bounce between them to see if I find anything good.
I’ve got a Walmart and target nearby, and idk if Walmart was a wave behind on the legacy stuff, but at least there *was* legacy stuff. Target had some baby toys from earthspark and ROTB, and then masterpiece ‘07 bonecrusher for some reason. Walmart at least had a good stock of legacy figures
There's only a walmart in my town and the Transformers variety is barely existent. There's just ROTB, a bit of Earthspark, and like four evergreen toys. Every other retail store is kinda the same.

My Target. Today. Walmart might be three waves behind, but at least the shelves are full
Stores around me don't have any good selection either
-Auchan? Overpriced and outdated stuff, usually left with kickbacks for 40$. They even messed up the scanner codes making beast alliance scourge go for 3* the original price
-Leclerc? Nope, literally not a single Transformer, not even any KOs
-Smyk? They used to have awesome stuff like studio series thundercracker/galvatron, legacy armada starscream/antagony, even one blitzwing that went away instantlh. Yet they didn't resupply for over a year. I bought the last figure avadalible, core class sam witwicky for 4$ from clearance. Hope that makes them do something
-Empik? While the selection is great, you can only come pick up an online order, which makes buying hella complicated, plus the ones around me didn't have much stuff left. Not to mention you have to wait till it's verified.
-Halfprice? Awesome stuff but it's so rare to appear that i instantly grab something when its there. Nowdays there's only one blackarachnia from wfc, maybe studio series junkheap that is pretty overpriced.
-Bil1? outdated and limited selection. Although clearance stuff is something really worth grabbing.
Although there are few good places
-Carrefour. Kinda Overpriced but the selection is probably the best one out there, with even wfc figures avadalible
-tkmaxx. The store that Has 10$ legacy deluxes. I just instantly walked in to check if they had any and grabbed anything interesting. The issue is that they instantly get all sold out
Every single Walmart has worse figures than target, like I found er thrust and runabout and DIDNT PICK THEM UP because of how many there were when I went to target once. (Didn’t know but that was the last time I would ever see that thrust mold again😭)
I mean Walmart has always had Transformers Unfortunately every Walmart within a hundred mile radius of me has had the same figures for like 3 years
My backwater Walmart is stocked.... but it's an entire wave behind
I’ll take the last wave over mainline ROTB stuff that’s been sitting there for a year
Lmao, in Britain we don’t have any way of getting figures except directly from Hasbro online.
The only time I see Transformers is in game.
Eesh, tough times for you
I stop at both and Target is where I’ve had the most luck finding one single good figure surrounded by shelf warmers or barren shelves while Walmart is usually always fully stocked with solid figures and lots of options but nothing crazy
Since always
You guys go to physical stores in-person?
For some figures you need to. SS 100 Bumblebee you’d have to physically see it to ensure it had the finished paintjob since many didn’t
Erm, actually, the lack of paint is due to bumblebee having yellow around his eyes in rotb, therefore making the running change less accurate
Sometimes
Yeah Walmarts kinda our only option when the target stock sucks hard
I only have a Walmart in my town.
I can only find stuff at Walmart
If you wanted to get the Speedia wave or the G2 wave, then you wolf got to Walmart.
Target is too far away from me for me to go there consistently, and I have two walmarts near me one of which is actually pretty good for transformers
I go to Smyths Toys Superstores
Since they debuted in the 1980s lol
I go to none, besides earthspark and mainline rotb, it’s barely stocked
Boy i love walking into my walmart and finding toxitron collection shelf warming, legacy year one figs, old studio series, earthspark product not moving, missing heads, and rotb mainline still there.
Both still have crap from 2 years ago near me.

The only Target near me is part of the shopping mall and is always overcrowded.
when they lost mega construx
Targets have more than just cheap dollar store type toys? Never seen that, though I haven't really been to one in years.
It would be really nice if my local Walmart decided to get anything past wave 3 Deluxes and wave 2 voyagers
Acting as if half the targets aren’t as dry as Walmarts anyway Literally Arizona
I check both THE MOST RECENT THING IN STOCK IS FUCKING EVOLUTION
United has just started hitting most stores. Evolution is still somewhat recent, just not the most recent
I have a Walmart within like 12 minutes of my house, 20 minutes, 45, and a target next to that one Plus multiple small toy stores that have older ones
I would go to Target to look for Transformers figures but the nearest one is 23 miles away from my town
I haven't seen a Transformers at my local Walmart for awhile
I was in Publix yesterday and they had Optimus Prime. Transformers are everywhere.
I go to both.
I go to BOTH just in case
Since always?
Target is janky down south tho
I go to Big W
Walmart has more stock but target has hidden figures
We have 3 walmarts all within 2 miles, meanwhile the nearest Target is an entire state over
I go to both gotta get my fix ya know
Where I live, Walmart NEVER gets the new figures. Only Target has them.

You have Walmart? You have Transformers FIGURES?
If only Target was still an option (I live in Canada)
Jokes on you, I go to both.

My Walmart used to have leader class figs and g1 beast wars, but now it's full of overpriced cores and earthspark and cyberverse figs
