I've had absolutely zero luck using the app. The only figure I was unable to pre-order was Filch and I was literally checking the app every day waiting for it to show as in stock at any store within 50 miles of me. Then I made one of my regular Wal-Mart stops and there she was while the app still said they had none in stock and none in the area.
I've got Filch cause I ordered her. No sign of any Star Seekers at any Walmart here.

I got Lockdown and Road Pig through ordering, I just ordered a Filch that Walmart should have in stock, but until its actually shipped I wont believe it. There's been times where they say something is in stock but then end up saying its not and cancelling it.
One of my local walmarts still has all them just sitting there. I don't think enough local fans care about them.
Which means they might hang around long enough to end up at winners or the discount store: where I would be willing to pay for them, cause I'm not connected to them either.

I've seen Star Raiders at one walmart. It's a big one just on the outskirts of KC with fairly high turnover and foot traffic.
It may be that walmarts of a smaller size have gotten cases of TFOne toys rather then the capsule line.
That said, I've yet to see the leader multipack in any store, just the deluxes and voyager.

The app is not ideal, no. The way I see it, it can give a false negative, but if it brings up a positive in-store hit, there is probably something there to look for (when I found Lockdown, it said they had Filch as well, but no dice). We have 4 major and 4 minor Walmarts within a 45-ish mile radius, so it helps to have at least some direction if I'm actively hunting something (but I still check when we're going by anyway).
I'm getting concerned about the Thundertron pack. Every 'mart I've check does not even have a spot/tag for Leaders, making me dread this as another Galaxy Shuttle.
In addition to checking the regular toy section, I also check the clearance in case some store decides to yeet them there since they've already cleared out Leader Class.

Super excited for him to get released.
Anyone else gotten word that the Bludgeon/Ruckus set is on its way? Because I have!
I thought Wheeljack had been advertised at the cons with a minicon. Or is that a different version like Hot Shot git?
Mine arrived on Saturday! Haven't had a chance to break into them yet.
So far only SG Sideswipe comes with Minicon, but I wont be surprised to see a Toy colors Wheeljack be released with minicon.
yeah, they specifically cited costs as the reason why wheeljack doesn't come with the minicon
personally i think it's dumb cuz the tooling already exists but whatever i'm not the one in charge of a massive corporation that's beholden to price points for regular retail toys
Hasbro's so cheap now that if they ever have to relocate, you know they're stripping all the copper wiring out of their current HQ first.
I'm hoping we get some sort of multipack of the Minicons we never had a chance to get.
Sparkplug, Leader-1, Swindle, and Wind Sheer.

And I got Cybertron Drill-Bit from DNA Design.
Though, he's Core class-sized rather than Micromaster-sized like the Legacy Mini-Cons are, as DNA made him before Hasbro made the official Legacy ones, likely not knowing how small they'd be and probably assuming Hasbro would sell the Mini-Cons separately as Core class figures.
But then again, Drill-Bit being bigger does kinda work in a way since he is from the Giant Planet.

Yeah, Minicons from Giant Planet should be just, like, regular guys.
