The Wal-mart exclusive Transformers Masterpiece Skywarp has begun to hit stores across the U.S. While out and about today, I found about 15 of them at my local Wal-mart in Madison, WI. As you can see from the picture, Skywarp is priced at $60.

My local Wal-mart also had the Wal-mart exclusive Blowpipe vs. Sideways set for $27. This set is a total rip off considering you can get two deluxes for $20. Not to mention, the Sideways in this set is no different than the one that has been on the pegs for months.

Good news for fans of the Transformers Human Alliance toy line. The set with Skids, Arcee and Mikaela has finally hit retail in the US. theestampede of the TFW2005 boards found the toy at a Target store in Memphis, TN.

If you missed Toys R Us’ Transformers Universe sale the first time around, you’re in luck. Until August 5th,  you can pick up Universe Ultras and Voyagers for 50% off. As before, the sale does not include deluxe class Universe figures, ROTF toys or the exclusive Universe Ultras.

The sixth wave of Transformers ROTF deluxe toys have begun to to hit stores in the U.S. IronhidePrime of the TFW2005 boards, found multiple cases of this wave at a Wal-mart store in Gurnee, IL. The wave includes Gears (ugly repaint of Stockade from the 2007 movie) and Thrust (repaint of Breakaway with a new head).

Over the last few days, there have been numerous reports of new Transformers Revenge of the Fallen toys showing up at Targets along the west coast. Both the wave 4 (Ice Cream Skids and Mudflap, Jolt, Blazemaster and Dead End) and wave 5 (Arcee, Swerve and Stalker Scorponok) deluxes were found at stores in southern California. If that weren’t enough, the fifth wave (Long Haul and Grindor) of Voyagers and forth wave (Nightbeat and Ejector) of Scouts have been sighted at some stores.

The Target exclusive Bruticus Maximus has also started to ship. Christoph Prime of the TFW2005 boards found two sets at a Target store in Colorado. I have yet to see any of these toys in my neck of the woods, but its only a matter of time before they hit the entire U.S.

It appears that Toys R Us is trying to clear out the huge pile of Transformers Universe and Animated toys clogging up the shelves at most stores. Until July 18th, you can pick up Universe Ultras and Voyagers as well as Animated Supreme, Leaders and Bumper Battlers for 50% off. Unfortunately, the sale does not include deluxe class figures, Animated Voyagers or the exclusive Universe Ultras.

The Leader class Jetfire from the new Transformers Revenge of the Fallen movie has begun to show up at stores across the U.S. Along with an isolated report of him showing up at a Target in Louisiana, there have been numerous sightings at Wal-mart and Toys R Us stores in California.

Good news for those waiting for the new Transformers ROTF Human Alliance toys. Over the last few days, there have been numerous reports of people Human Alliance Bumblebee at Kmart stores across the U.S. Target also seems to be getting these in as there was an isolated report of someone finding a few at a Super Target store in Burnsville, MN. If you’d like to check the back stock at your local Target, the DPCI is 087-06-0292.

While doing my rounds this morning, I came across the new Transformers ROTF ”Battle Charged” Ultimate Bumblebee at a Walmart in Madison, WI. While it looks a lot like the toy from the first Transformers movie, it has been slightly remolded and has been given a flip down battle mask. It also features some new audio clips, including Stan Bush’s The Touch. Before you run out and buy one, I should also point out that the price has been increased to a whopping $98.88.

If you can’t wait until Saturday to get your hands on the new Transformers Revenge of the Fallen toys, you’re in luck. Toys R Us will be holding a special preview event on Friday, May 29th. Beginning at 9pm, Transformer fans will be able to pick up the latest ROTF toys at participating Toys R Us stores.

Not to be outdone, Wal-mart has also moved up their release to 5pm on Friday, May 29th. All stores should have gotten the memo from corporate about this change but some seem to be sticking to the original release date of May 30th. 

Update: Wal-mart has moved their release up to tonight at midnight. Happy hunting!
