Studio Series discussion

Looks like both Walmarts closest to me have dropped Studio Series. They both went through resets and there's no open spaces or shelf tags for any of it. Bummer.
Getting harder and harder to find figures at brick-and-mortar. I guess it's not the end of the world or anything, I've switched to preordering anything that I REALLY want just to be safe, but I did always enjoy the poking around stores and being pleasantly surprised by finding something I was wanting.
Shouldn't be hard. I imagine there will be a number of people only interested in the Seeker.
My local Walmart just did the same thing and put a ton of BRAND NEW product on clearance. (Godzilla x Kong Monsterverse figures as well as TF) The TF section is currently just Earthspark and TF:ONE figures; meanwhile, other stores around have Age of Primes, new Studio Series, and even the Retro carded figures. I think some stores aren't setting their mods correctly, but I kind of doubt anyone who works there will care enough to catch it and fix it any time soon.
Yeah there's actually evidence that some Walmarts are just dropping Generations (at least from physical store shelves) entirely.
2025 Generations Listings (United Wave 5 + Age of the Primes)
He’s remembering how the CW toy did it. Based Yeah, I was going to say he has to be remembering how the toy did it. I’m fairly certain the G1 toy was...

At least we still have Gamestop.
They don't care. They cannot be made to care. If Walmart were to pay attention to the wave structure of each line of one brand from one supplier, they have to do it for everyone. It's just not going to happen.
my walmart carries more transformers than my target does lmao
In general, splitting studio series and Generations was an odd decision given how bug the overlap got
It made sense when Studio Series was focused on movie figures. Once they started dropping '86 and Gamer Edition and all that into the line it has made a lot less sense.
Gamer Edition being in there would've been fine, I think. The WFC/FOC aesthetic is pretty niche. But the 86 figures just turned it into Generations 2, even before they started just recycling the same molds across lines.
i mean if you want to be anal about it - there is no actual splitting - studio series is part of generations
Count me in as someone else who got the Devastation two-pack.
SOrry Iwas a bit unclear. I was referring to the Transformers the Movie figures. When Studio Series was all bayverse, it made sense to keep them separate.
So, yeah... feeling a lot better about not getting SS '86 Galvatron now.
Since TRU is charging $96 for him.
I got my Legacy version for close to half that.
I think I'm good!
I dunno, maybe he shows up somewhere else for less and I rethink my life again, given TRU has become notorious for overcharging, but for now, I think I'm good.
