Over the past few days several leaks/reveals have popped out including Beast Wars reissues and new War for Cybertron Netflix figures! This is a reminder that in about 50 minutes as of this writing (1PM EDT on March 15, 2021) Walmart.com will be unleashing a pile of preorders. Their site currently shows both the War for Cybertron and

As a new year settles in Kingdom toys have begun to hit toy store shelves. With that comes discounts on last year's releases. Among them are the Vintage G1 Blaster exclusively sold at Walmart stores.

Today's news drop from the Official Transformers Facebook Page brings us a look at two upcoming R.E.D. figures: Bumblebee and Starscream!

Pre-orders will go up soon.
Earlier this year, Hasbro revealed that Walmart would be carrying an exclusive line of Titans Return Headmaster redecos featuring the Japanese head sculpts released during the Legends line. These figures would be featuring recreations of the retro-G1 styled packaging, adding to their "Vintage G1" aesthetic and appeal. While listings went up (and supposedly orders briefly became available) these have not showed up at retail in the United States just yet.

Instead of reissuing figures from the 80's, their next set of exclusives would feature Titans Return Titan Masters with the Takara Tomy head sculpts, alternate decos and most impressively, recreations of the original G1 Headmaster boxes!
