Anyone still looking to complete a set of Micromaster gestalts?

Want to do it for a sale price? Seibertron's one and only Ionacus shares this info with us:

"Here's a bit of news for ya. I was at the CVS across from my house, and they have all their summer stock for 50% off. There was about five TFU micromasters trainbots and aerialbots in the summer toys. I had the cashier check the price and they came up as $2.65. If anyone's been holding off buying them this is the time to do so."

Thanks Ionacus for sharing that news! Stock will be limited because they are clearing it out, so if you want to try to find them, you should check your local CVS A.S.A.P.!

No, it's not a NIKE CONVOY or MEGATRON. It's not even an official Transformers toy, but it's a pretty cool toy nonetheless.

Seibertron member Bug_Byte found something interesting when he went out to grab a 'byte' to eat...

"It is a kids meal (Kid's Pack) toy from Subway restaurant and to purchase it seperately from the kids pack was 99 cents.

Hmm...I wonder where they got the idea from ;)"




I don't know about you guys, but for those collecting the shoeformers, this would fit in quite well.

Great find BB, I know I am going to go out to Subway tomorrow to see if I can grab a couple! Thanks for the heads up!

First Re-Issue Ultra Magnus and now this...

Yes, it appears to be true, but don't get too excited, the prices are a bit outrageous at $98.72 for each, except Starscream who is $79.88.

All are listed as IN STOCK even Megatron.

Here are the links:

Optimus Prime

Megatron

Starscream

A product description from Megatron:


Features & Specifications

Transformers Encore original style transforming robots
TRANSFORMER Megatron - G1 New PackageDesign. This 6 inches Transformer Megatron PVC figure in the alternate mode of a Walther P 38. Megatron is the Decepticon leader. This is a remake of the Original Collection piece, which are nearly impossible to find now and was one of the best selling items when the first edition came out. This revised figure features some new parts (i.e. new molds).
Shipping Weight (in pounds):

3.0
Product in Inches (L x W x H):

16.0 x 16.0 x 8.0
Assembled in Country of Origin:

USA and/or Imported
Origin of Components:

USA and/or Imported
Wal-Mart No.: 000784718"


I cannot imagine a lot of people will buy it from Walmart as you were able to get a set for less than half that amount from most online retailers.

However, many have sold out, so this option is now available.

Is this a test to see how well imported collectible toys would sell on the wholesale market? Or something else?

Let us know what you think!

As always, we'll try to keep you informed of any new toys news, in the Seibertron.com Toy News section.
