*sniffs*

What's that smell?

Smells like BULL S**T...

Nie, I hope thats true. 2/3rds the price on the Takare version and in the right colors. Spot on. Gotta nab a couple of these bad boys. Since there was minimal die cast used in SS anyway, the Hasbro version should be identical given their QC holds up.

I'm going to have to set up a tent in Walmart. :lol:

I just went on the Wal-Mart site, they have an online catalogue (sp?) that you can order from. I think it is likely (though not 100% certain but very likely) that people overseas can order from them. So it may not matter if you don't live near a Wal-mart's, (either in the US or overseas) you can still get the Anime varient without having to go on E-Bay. (And its probably cheaper too.)

After S250 showed us pics (and he's fully legit)

I'd be willing to believe this.

Oh and if he's $60.00...I'm all over that.

I might have to hold out and see if they do Skywarp as well, hopefully he will move off the shelves and they will do all 3 at least.

Yeah, and if they don't move off of the shelf, clearance time. Nice. Just like the 20th DVD prime I got for 20 bucks.

I agree, and lets hope its true, cause that would be awesome!!! but lets hope as well that if Hasbro is releasing the "Anime Accurate Starscream as a Wal-mart Exclusive, could we possibly get a Box that has a fold over cover and window packaging like their Generation One reissues?? that stupid 20th anniversary prime packaging sucks!!! it was very easily damaged and is not what a nice figure like Starscream should be packaged in!!!!

You might hate Target but I can say this much for them, every Target I have been to (and I have been to a ton) even the ones in the middle of nowhere have had all the Target Exclusives.

The same can not be said about Wal-Mart. I cringe everytime I hear about another Wal-Mart exclusive. The odds that I won't have to drive 4 hours to find a Wal-Mart that has them is are pretty low even though there are 20+ Super Wal-Mart stores between here and there.

Wal-Mart sucks.
