They probably saw people buying like crazy because he was finally at a reasonable price for the size and thought he was just popular and hiked the price up,

Probably, he was definitely at $9.99 "Clearance" for a little while, I'm seeing him at $19.99 "Rollback" sold by Walmart now.

More likely they use an algorythm similar to amazon and have an alloted amount of figures priced at 9.99. When they were bought up, it went back to the standard price.

Walmart.com, not the physical store. However, they do online price matching to an extent, you can give that a shot, plus the tags don't always reflect the scanned price on the app.

Agreed. Saw that and about pooped my pants. I needed office decorations so I picked up the big ones.
I miss the days when they were this price...

More like getting them at their original 1996 Price Point,
Honestly. I know the cost of materials and shipping has increased dramatically in the last few years. But I feel the same about OG releases as any other timeline, they shouldn't be more than double the original price, which the BW mostly were, except Rattrap, he should have only been $10, as he is a basic, NOT a deluxe, but whatever...
Also its part of the reason I passed on all the retro Original Series releases. $50 for JUST Optimus Prime's cab is absolutely ridiculous. I know they clearance it down to a reasonable price, but the more Walmart has to do that, they less likely they will be to support these releases in the future.
I'd actually be surprised if Walmart chooses to pick up Tigatron and Scorponok early next year. I hope for the sake of those that want them, they do.

I want Scorponok and maybe Tigatron, since those do look significantly better than what was done with these first four. Gimme those instead. And Cybershark and maybe K-9 (if there's some difference to his deco) if the rumors are to be believed.

Likely they haven't hit their acceptable loss numbers yet, hence the lack of change.

I wonder if Hasbro shipped solid cases of Leader Megatron? Especially after going to the Walmart across the street and seeing 20+ on the bottom shelf ( see Kingdom main thread)

Definitely, the app is better than the website, but it's still awful
