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.

Not sure if anyone saw this, but the prices just dropped down a bit more.

- Optimus ($19.07)
- Megatron ($18.96)
- Cheetor ($8.76)

Hope everyone has a great Christmas.

Thanks! I just picked up 2 Megatrons.

I just picked up a Optimus and Megatron after reading this. $40.31 after taxes. That's like getting one for free, plus $10 off on the other. Couldn't pass that up.

I called walmart and got a price adjustment. They refunded me $12 from the first clearance prices. Ill take it.

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 just don't want these. I already have superior-decoed versions of the Rattrap, Cheetor, Optimus, and Megatron molds. I have no need for reissues that either reduce paint apps or make halfhearted attempts at show-accuracy.

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.

I keep thinking about Primal, but I am so very happy with both my Kingdom and PotP one, and I have an OG Optimal Optimus, I just can't bring myself to get him even at that price

They went down again!

- Optimus ($14.99)
- Megatron ($14.90)
- Cheetor ($6.89)

I just had my order from 2 days ago adjusted for the difference through the Walmart online chat.

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

Thanks for Tip Now they are just $15. Time to buy a bunch and hold on to them for a year or two. I can't believe they made so many to have to go down to this price.

Target has Kingdom and Cyberverse Deluxes for 13.50. Also Kingdom Leaders for $35.

Target's search engine on their websites truly sucks.

Agreed. My apologies however, I should have clarified. This was in store. Not sure if it applies online as well? They had a few Kingdom wave 4 and some Cyberverse. For Kingdom Leaders, the store I went to only had about 6 BW Megatrons.

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)

I finally caved and bought the rerelease Optimus Primal at $14 last week on christmas eve. I will post about him in his thread

By far it's one of the worst.

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

The biggest problem with Target, and Walmart for that matter are that both stores stopped taking pre-orders for individual regular releases. They both appear to have stopped at Kingdom Galvatron for WFC and the Grindor/Slag for SS. I haven't seen an individual Listing for any regular release since they were announced.

I do wonder if they learned their lessons from last year's pre-order debacles and just said forget it for anything that isn't one of their exclusives.

I mean it makes sense, they still got their fair share of purchases from me finding bots in store before the online retailers started shipping. Why bother taking pre-orders if they are terrible at keeping them on track if they will likely end up selling all they ordered one way or another?

These stores should stick to what they know and do best. Preorders were always a headache with them, glad they dropped it. Fans who are preorder savy can get them elsewhere when it comes to general release figures.

GameStop on their website currently has a 15% off deal on "high end' toys and statues, which evidently includes Transformers. Some notable availabilities I saw were Selects Galvatron for $45, and the Jurassic Park crossover set for $90. They would have Black Zarak for $135, but alas it's not available to order online at this time

www.gamestop.com

It looks like ALL Transformers figures are on sale right now. Rhinox for $25, Deep Cover, Black Arachnia from Kingdom...all included.

My apologies, I guess I should have clarified that. Yes all the Transformers are 15% off at GameStop. I just was highlighting what I thought might have been some of the more desirable ones in stock.

It is almost all Transformers, or all in stock items. Legacy pre-orders and the Bee movie pre-order figures are not included
