Man, this just seems like a scam. Whatever happened to Walmart's low-low prices?

WOO-HOO!

I doubt it's the Masterpiece.
Where the hell would Wal-Mart of all places get the classic photo of Ultra Magnus?

If you look at the details on the listing (weight, etc), this really seems like a case of bait and switch to me. I really hope that Wal-Mart gets some flack for this one, either from Hasbro or the Better Business Bureau.

I agree he's worth buying. I'm just pissed wal-mart's charging $90 for it.

got the tru version but still might get this one as a spare

I think its a Reissue, b/c BBTS, is taking preorders for a G1 Magnus, but I ordered it anyway so I'll see soon enuff

Yea, Walmart.com is a rip-off, they just ried to charge me 5 bucks just to ship Classics Mirage. Someone who bought this Magnus should print the website's description and report them

I am PISSED about this...I'd rather buy the Hasbro MP Prime for $69 ( I already have him) and sit and paint him to look like Magnus, HELL, even as Nemesis Prime then have some stale Ultra Magnus for $90!! Unfortunately, I DID order it, now I will have to slump off to my local Walmart and get my money back. To add insult to injury, UPS says the shipping for 2lbs should be around $7 NOT $20.

I like the Magnus toy, but NOT for $90...that could be my MP Starscream or Ultimate Bumblebee for godsake. I put Walmart on blast on their own reviews section under the Magnus thing...Look for "Targetfan" if you want to read an irrate toy collector.

Oh...I just checked a few minutes ago...it's now "unavailable" online. At least I know that I was screwed in good company!!

Oh....Head's up to further PISS ME OFF. Big Bad Toy Store has this SAME Magnus on pre-order for $74.99... WTF!!!!!!!

In the name of Cybertron, where is the Justice?!?!?!

Thats good, but I already have two G1 Magnus'.

I was hoping for the MP version.

Still, if you don't have this guy, I do recommend him.

Has anyone tried to email them and ask them about it ????

by **SpacerAM2** » Mon Jul 16, 2007 10:28 pm

Paying 90 bucks on Walmart for an Ultra Magnus g1 reissue is insane. That's got to be a mistake. It must be the Mp Optimus Prime white repaint for 90 bucks. Only toys r us had the g1 reissue exclusives. No other store did.

The reason you were able to get that reissue Ultra Magnus is probably because one of us that brought it online thru Walmart.com at the listed price of $89.99 with an shipping cost of almost $20, thinking it was a Masterpiece Ultra Magnus then returning it when we found out it's just the reissue version and that we were being ripped off.

Probably...but was that a bad thing? Well the important thing is i got it Fare & square
