The deco is inaccurate to the original.

For all intents and purposes he also has the wrong head.

I'd buy it for $10, maybe even 15, but I'm not feeling the deco on this one either. They really did need to make a new head.

There already is one:



T-Wrecks' painted lips suggest this was the head meant for him.

How about a Different head and not just another megatron one. I would have settled for the mutant head. They gave Grimlock a new head (thank Primus). T-Wrecks needed a new different head instead of being color swap megatron with constipation pain mouth.

Most of the Target exclusive transformers are now on sale online including Draculus at 20% off.

I snagged one today and will be returning my pre-ordered one for a full price refund.

Even free I wouldn't take it. My space is more valuable. With the lackluster deco there isnt much point. I own the original, I own this mold, this adds nothing for me.

Dang! He is worth the $32 but I woulda loved him at 25

They also had a lot of stuff even further discounted yesterday. I got Draculus when he was 30% off, and I almost bought the Studio Bee 2-pack when it was 50% off

Hey, wanted to give a heads-up that if you're a Target RedCard Member and have joined Circle, that there is a sale for 25% off one toy until the 4th.
I just took SS86 Slag in, "returned him", bought him with the discount, and walked out with him for $38.73.
This compared to roughly $54... I'm beyond happy that I was able to snag him at this price.
Especially considering it's my second copy!

If this is an option for you, I'd say now's the time to either "price match" a recent purchase,
or grab a figure you've been on the fence about... Even $5 off a deluxe is a nice little savings.
Especially at this time of the year!

Walmart.com has the Ark for $130.89.
That's a great price for this guy!!!

Also, Hardhead is $19.97. Not a major sale, but pretty sure originally those guys were at least $24.

Are you nuts? My local stores can't get Inferno out of them. He, along with SS86 Blurr and Kup, and Kingdom Tracks, Paleotrex, and Blackarachnia will not go anywhere.

Rarest voyager around here? Dinobot. Seen once, never again. Even Rhinox and Cyclonus have both been regulars

D-Maximal_Primal wrote:Rarest voyager around here? Dinobot. Seen once, never again. Even Rhinox and Cyclonus have both been regulars

All I can do is relate my own experience. 20 Targets, and 20 Walmarts in my area. In the spring we got the Voyager wave 2 assortment. I only ever saw a single Inferno one time, at one Walmart. I saw plenty of Dinobot however. In either case, Voyager wave 2 never restocked in my area.

But it can be stated Inferno is the least produced Kingdom Voyager based on the fact that per case:

Kingdom Wave 1 had 2 Primal & 1 Cyclonus
wave 2 had 2 Dinobots and 1 Inferno
wave 3 had 2 Rhinox, and 1 Cyclonus
wave 4 has 2 Tigatron and 1 Rhinox
wave 5 has 2 Blaster and 1 Tigatron...

So if you give each case assortment release a point you get:

Rhinox & Tigatron 3 points
Primal, Cyclonus, Dinobot, and Blaster 2 Points and lastly...
Inferno 1 point, as he was shortpacked in his one and only Release.

The sale on Gamestop is great, because while YOU may have the good fortune of having plenty of Inferno's in stores around you, that isn't the case for most, and he is not currently available at most online retailers either.

while stores near me did restock deluxe wave 1 in the late summer, even all those are gone. Also the only reason why we have any Tracks at all is because of Walmarts recent stocking of deluxe wave 4, deluxe wave 3 never made it out here at all.

My local Walmarts have Deluxe wave 4, plenty of retro BW, and the latest SS deluxe wave, that's about it. (Oh and Voyager wave 4 JUST came in, I got Tgatron Tuesday, which was the only one on the shelf, along with 2 Rhinox, this was the firts time I had seen ANY Voyagers in like 3 months). Targets don't have hardly anything, I'm going to check this weekend to see if that has changed.

Hmm, swore had got a solid case release as a revision wave 2. There was no way I could see seeing 6 of him by himself.

Either way, glad more people can take advantage of Gamestop. They have been great this year, and that sale is a good thing, both to get him and to get him on a sale price.

Nice

I don’t know if anyone has mentioned this yet, but Walmart.com (not sure about the store) has a few of the vintage BW reissues on Clearance now, with BW Megs at $24.12, BW Cheetor at $11.15. Also Spoiler Pack 3 with Megs and Skelivore are now $26.08.

Nice, got all 4 BW reissues for about $74.

If you've been holding out for a deal on the Walmart exclusive Beast Wars reissues then now may be your best time to buy! Thanks to Seibertronian Changewinds for letting us know on the Energon Pub Forums that prices have been slashed by more than half! You can effectively buy the entire four figure lineup for under $75. If you've been looking to supplement your Beast Wars collection or experience the way the revolutionary line felt back in 1996 for the first time, there's no better time than now!

Optimus Primal $24.26
Megatron $24.12
Cheetor $11.15
Rattrap $9.99

Grab them while you can, they're aren't likely to last long at these prices!

*almost* original 1996 prices

I would have felt much better buying them at these prices. Even the Black Friday deals weren't this good.

this seems to be online only, as they are still full price at both of my local stores, and the web site is saying they aren't even in stock at my stores when they are.

Know that Walmart will honor online prices for any product they sell on their site (sold by them and not a 3rd party) so you can go to your store and take it to the register and they can scan it for the online price and give it to you as long as the price is still online.

Now, finding an employee at the self checkout (because that is all that is ever open) that knows the policy, and how to enter it on the register is another story...

Especially since they apparently don’t honor their own price matches anymore.

This worked perfectly for me and now I have the Optimus and Megatron at such a great price. Thanks for the tip!
