We have been notified of an interesting listing over at Wal-Mart.com which features a very large and very heavy Ultra Magnus figure. It is unknown at this time whether this is a reissue of the Generation 1 Ultra Magnus, or a possible release of the Masterpiece UltraMagnus, so treat this as a rumour for now.

See the listing here and if you place an order be sure to tell us "what's in the box" when it arrives. And Remember, you can get all your toy news in the Seibertron.com Toy Section.

I hope it doesnt devalue my MP magnus.
knowing hasbro it will probally be uglier, having a silver mouthplate and yellow on the head.

I hope is the Masterpiece Ultra Magnus I miss the takara release.

Sooo. Anyone wanna drop the $90 to see what it is?

Is not the Masterpiece Ultra Magnus. Check out the picture in the link is a reissue of the G1 Ultra Magnus.

the pic might be a place holder until they get official shots...

The walmart listing is being discussed here:

Maybe a Mod needs to change the title of the thread to something more descriptive.

for $90, it better MPUM

At that weight and price, I'd say it has to be the MAsterpiece version. What's interesting is that it is in stock and ready to ship.

MP Prime with a trailer and armor??? It would be a good buy. Doubt it though

OHHHHHHHHH! I dont have that yet...you guys think they might be doing a trailer/armor too? OH PLEASE! That would make me so happy.

yuk! I hate these white repaints - this is Ultra Magnus naked!

I bet it is the MP UM. $90 for the reissue? No thanks.

I bought it. I'll post an update once it arrives!

It costs $90 but they show the G1 Magnus toy. I don't think a reissued G1 Magnus should sell for nearly $100 brand new. Although I'd probably buy it after it goes on sale. I certainly won't buy it if it's MP Magnus. Takara should have ponied up some more cash and made a transforming car hauler/armor for it. I'd much rather have seen the MP Optimus mold repainted and redecoed into Nemesis Prime.

I wanted to add this to this thread as well, it's from my final post from the previous thread.

By the way, those of you that buy it and end up wanting to return it. Tell the person at the desk of your local Wal-Mart store you called the 1-800 number and they said the local store will refund the shipping costs too or they will try and weasel you out of the shipping when you return it.

I learned about this when I went to war with walmart.com about sending me smashed Decepticon Sneak Attack sets. I continued to order a set with next day shipping and if it was smashed, I returned it and got a complete refund.

i have to wait and see pics before i throw down that much. very tempting though.

i'll wait til it's site to store.... being the discount is only $9

Eh. Pass. I’m not a big fan of Ultra Magnus being a repainted Prime.

If this is indeed MP Magnus, I'll put out the money for it. Bit if it's just a re-issue of G1 Magnus, I'll pass. Seeing as how this is heavy & $90 though, it's gotta be MP.

i dont understand why they keep making these "white prime" ultra magnus figures.....that "white prime" only exists cuz of how they designed the original toy's transformation...i havent read the comics so maybe they fit that "white prime" into the continuity somehow but yeah...it always bugs me seeing these figures..lol

Any new news on UMagnus figure, I'm all excited especially if it's a new mold!!!

Hm, I find this listing very strange: 1 - The price suggests it's the MP-2 version and not the G1 Reissue. 2 - The product in inch is shown as 24x24x24 which is too big for a MP box unless they meant the shipping box. 3 - The bio/ description of Magnus is new...so I don't know.

Just a thought, could this be part of the "case assortment" with the G1 MP Starscream that is a Wal-Mart exclusive? It would make sense to put them both out at the same time.

Any thoughts??

I just put in an order for this with 2 day shipping. It should be here by Friday, so I will be able to put up pics. Hopefully it is the MP Magnus, otherwise it will be returned.

I'll buy it whatever it is, I need both for my collection!
