Check you local Wal-Mart for clearance sales. The one in my area had Voyagers for $13, Deluxes for $7, Scouts for $5, and Legends for $3.

HOWEVER, the particular Wal-Mart I went to had fairly sparse shelves. I only saw:
Legends x2
Scouts x2 (both Brimstone)
Deluxes x10 (Skullgrin, Thunderwing, Elita-1, Cliffjumper, Terradive, BB Bumblebee, etc.)
Voyagers x0

I found a sales associate to see if they had any more voyagers or if they would put out any more, and essentially she told me "what you see, is what we have." She did mention that there were 4 more voyagers but didn't know where they were She also mentioned that the TF section would be reset soon in a few weeks.

I was kind of bummed that they didn't have anything decent now that they were on sale but what really got me was that the Battle in Space 2 pack was on sale for $13 but they didn't have any (I had just bought it for $20 at K-mart.)

This tells me that we may not being seeing any RTS figures or the later Generations figures. It's a crying shame, some of them were pretty nice. After what I have seen of the DoTM figures, I might be taking a break from collecting. Maybe 2 or 3 have caught my interest. They just look cheap and dumbed down.



At any rate, check your Wal-Marts for deals.

NE Wisconsin still has everything at full price, from Green Bay down to Oshkosh. Wal-Mart has the problem of ordering those endcap displays so almost everything around here is the Skullgrin Generations line and loads of those DotM Legends Optimus.

No sale at my Walmart either (MI) and also nothing more recent than Skullgrin. They do have a pretty good selection of Generations still, just nothing recent.

Didn't they always say that?

Went there today and didn't see this pack as well. Strangely some deluxe have clearance stickers on them and some don't. I didn't bother to scan the price for each of them. I do see couple PCC 5 pack Grimstone. Actually first time for me to see them around my area. I bought mine last year in Texas.

I was at WalMart last weekend specifically to check for TFs and there were no sales. However, if you want a Tuner Midflap (or 25) for full price, I'd suggest checking northern MN.

I don't think Walmart ever has sales like this nationwide. Especially if it's a clearance sale, which is going to be a decision for the individual store manager based on that store's inventory, not a nationwide event.

Sometimes Wal-Mart's "clearance" isn't even a sale at all. They will mark older items with the red and white clearance stickers, but the price is the same as whats on the shelf. I don't know if this just happens in my area but it pisses me off every time I see it.

You walk down an ailse filled with items with said red and white stickers only to be fooled by shoddy tactics.

I stopped by my local Walmart in Englewood OH last night to buy some new work jeans and noticed the same deal. And mine included Leaders for $30. They had Battle Hooks Prime and Starscream, who I already have. And Hooks Prime doesn't do the mold justice. The rest of the selection thru the size classes sucked, it was the same ole same ole they have been running for months, just reduced in price now.

I made no clearance purchases.

Yep, I saw this sale at both our Wal-Marts today. I didn't buy anything but was really tempted to. Why can't I bring myself to buy Crankstart? I really like that mold!


I noticed something else too. One Wal-Mart only had 3 Mudflaps and the other only had ONE. We'll be rid of them soon! Wahoo!

Walmart has started to clearance out everything except Generations figures. The prices are as follows

Deluxe HFTD/ROTF - $7.00
Scouts HFTD - $5.00
PCC 5 packs - $13.00
Voyager ROTF - $13.00

They did not have any Legends Class at our local Walmart so I don't know their prices.

Just in time to get replaced by DOTM Mudflaps!

I'm sorry, it was to good to pass up.

lucky! my walmart still put tf's at full price. What the F***!

Same here in Indiana, but Generations is the only line not being clearanced. The same at Meijer and Target, so I assume we will see Generations play out before it si cancelled to make way for the Prime toys.

Just Scored 3 RTS Bumblebees, Perceptor ,Hubcap and 2 Battle in Space 2 Packs (which were marked down to $13!) Left several Bumblebees behind hanging with a bunch of HTFD and ROTF garbage.

Leader class figures did not even show up in the Computer and since I do not care about movie crap I did not bother to ask. Wish I would come across a Gang of Junkions!

Well, my local Walmart does have it's TF's on clearance, but those 3 Sea attack Ravages, 2 Jetblades and 2 regular Ravages that haven't sold in the last 2 months (seriously, 2 months without a re-stock) are still there. So until a re-set happens I doubt I will see any other new figures.

That makes me a sad panda to hear. There is a ghetto walmart out here that still have ROTF Voyagers and figures filled to the pegs but no Generations or Reveal The Shield stuff.

Finaly i went to my local walmart to see that all the reject mudflaps are on sale.

This might sound like im bragging but im not at my local walmart ive seen 2 KUPS the one thats at the cloguet mn walmart and the one i bought there in april.

This is way off topic but is the first gow game as good as people say

Oregon, OH store: PCC 5-packs $13, HTFD deluxes $7, scouts $5, legends $2.50 or $3 (not sure); Generations full price

no sales at my walmart (OH)
