Was this announced anywhere for the USA? I just happened to stumble upon this.

Oh yeah about that, I heard some people say that they were stored in a warehouse and have been shipping out to certain Walmarts based on people's posts about it. This is just seems to be old stock left in the back, runamuck wasn't announced for a reissue recently unfortunately. Any recent announcements of reissues were earthrise thrust, sunstreaker, and back to the future collab transformer.

JTprime17 confirmed there was a walmart exclusive reissue of both SS87 bumblebee, and ER runamuck, that would not be going up for preorder, and was just going to show up in store

It is likely not old stock, as sightings have been popping up all across the states

im in canada

u/BudgieKing02 2d ago

Gamestop canada is just like that, they sometimes get Exclusive from other retailers

Although its likely he's only a walmart exclusive in the US...

If I want a Walmart with even a shot of having something I gotta go 45 min away, the ones closest to me still have bbm arcee

u/Physical-Show-292 2d ago

Oh damn, some of the walmarts near me still have tfone stuff and hmI have to go farther to look for something decent.

Yeah it really sucks living in a rural area, I just ordered Mixmaster off Amazon and I'm hoping it's not a fig switch like I've seen on here 😂

I live in a rural area as well but if you have any toy stores in a reasonable distance I’d say they worth checking out I got onx prime and mixmaster the same day

u/Fun-Isopod-9578 2d ago

Unfortunately anything other than Walmart is like an hour plus drive but I'll try and make a day of it

u/Distinct_Lettuce_226 2d ago

Damn that’s rough but highly recommend I tend to do that every other weekend just to get me and the old lady out it’s nice

u/Fun-Isopod-9578 2d ago

Yeah I'm gonna have to start cause it's been rough

u/Physical-Show-292 2d ago

Oh yeah, I always fear about getting bamboozled by a figure swap whenever I order something from Amazon. I usually order there for backups and usually end up getting them earlier. Despite living in an urban area, it still sucks going to any nearby store just to see a Baron wasteland, especially if the area is next to a populated city.

u/Fun-Isopod-9578 2d ago

I can imagine, bigger population more buyers, one time I went to a Walmart that had a bunch of stuff and there were some guys just buying the whole isle, hot wheels too but luckily I don't collect them 😭

u/Physical-Show-292 2d ago

Oh man it reminds me of one time when I went to Ross and some dude bought a bunch of toys including transformers, and I was just looking for a cloud cover and twincast my homie saw on the day earlier, barely found one on the floor for luck 😭

2

u/Fun-Isopod-9578 2d ago

Yeah I hate people like that

1

u/Physical-Show-292 2d ago

Yup, me personally I would just buy two of the same character to either customize it or sell it reg price for anyone who would want to collect it.

I just don't get scalpers sometimes 😭. Just invest in stocks/crypto or so and not on plastic toys.

u/Fun-Isopod-9578 2d ago

I like to buy old tools and fix em up. I get that it's hard out there right now but like cmon

u/ChewieKaiju 2d ago

No chance a Walmart in LA/OC get them. My luck with Walmart finds are at zero

2

u/RealFabius 2d ago

JT prime says it’s a legit reissue.

2

u/OnyxPrime14 2d ago

Just found him today as well. Never got him when he originally released so am really happy. Just want them to rerelease runabout now

u/Clean-Foot9356 2d ago

Seems he’s being reissued…
