The helmet/tech toy bundle is now on sale at Walmart for only $19.97... the Super Walmart had a bunch of these "value bundles" stacked in the toy clearance section...

Note that the regular helmet without the tech dagger bundle is still 28.88... I dunno why the helmet alone is more expensive than the helmet/dagger bundle but that's the way it is...

not a bad deal... especially with Halloween a few weeks away.

Wonder if the helmets are the Cullen, or Impostor version?

Good way to get rid of two slow selling items.

It's the Cullen version. On the left side of the package it says "featuring the REAL movie voice!" the other version doesn't say that.

Two pieces of crap for the price of less than one is still a bad deal.

QFT. But for some people the helmet might be worth getting.

I wouldn't have normally paid attention to this, but I needed a helmet once I decided to work on an Optimus Prime costume for Halloween... (I figure $20 on a helmet beats a week or two of half-assed paper mache...)

:lol:

I have a helmet already...though I did not buy it; that credit goes to my wife's youngest brother...after seeing the movie and seeing the helmet, he was all about it until he actually tried it on and then left it at my place...but yeah, two pieces of crap for less than the price of one is still two pieces of crap.

the helmet would be really cool if it was a complete helmet and not just a face mask.

My helmet is pretty darn complete...wraps around to the back of my head and down the top of my neck

that's wierd. the ones I've seen didn't seem to have a 'back' to them. More of a 3/4 helmet then one that covered the entire skull and neck.

I'll look again though, I'm in the middle of building a 7 foot movie Optimus out of metal and fiberglass, and I need a helmet to convert and redo.

Thanks for the info.

Ok, we'll let you off this time.
