RodimalToyota strikes again! After finding HA Roadbuster last week now he's come up with the Wal-Mart exclusives Deluxe Optimus Prime and racecar themed Sidearm Sideswipe repaint in Tucson, AZ. Not only that he scored them for the sale price of $8.98! Happy hunting!

Welp, time to ask my in-laws go to looking for the Deluxe Optimus Prime. He's perfect alongside the Protoform toy from the first movie. Got the same versions for Starscream already :x

Is there anything special about that Optimus other than being deluxe?

Yet another MechTech Weapon. This time, it's an axe. :)

EDITED FOR CRAPPY SPELLING.

I'm liking the Sideswipe repaint very much. And Optimus as a deluxe....finally! My son has been bugging me about him and now I can affordably buy him one! But, why do you guys get the 8.98 price, they are 9.98 here?!?!

I really want to get my hands on that Sideswipe. Although if I do, he wont be "Sideswipe" anymore. Time to start coming up with some new name possibilities :grin:

They Had the BumbleBee too, but I'm not paying over a $1 for a 2007 repaint. plus he just comes with the Wave3 DOTM Nitro BumbleBee mechtech weapon.

The Deluxe Prime's weapon is the Mudflap mechtech.

Funny enough, I went to the Target next door and found the wv3 voyagers and grabbed a Fireblade prime, arguably the best mechtech weapon this side of Japan.

Dang I was hoping that this Optimus would get a better mechtech weapon instead of getting that same as Mudflaps oh well I'm still picking him up the first chance I get. And I think this repaint of Sideswipe looks more like he could pass as a Bluestreak figure or something lol.

I found Walmart Exclusive Sideswipe in Walmart once. "In another persons basket" I had to do a double take to realize what it was. At first I thought it was a wrecker that I hadn't seen on the forums yet, but then saw sideswips and the sticker for Walmart exclusive.

This guy that had it must have beat me to it by maybe 5 minutes.

Hopefully that strategy works for Hasbro. I'd been hating on all the various sizes they put out instead of making 2-3 sizes extremely well. I've since changed my opinion and like the idea of everyone being able to have bots to play with. I only hope they don't overproduce these and they stay warming the peg aisles like the ROTF blisters.

I still haven't decided whether I'm going to get teat Sideswipe or not, but I might. I really want that mold, and I think the color scheme's pretty cool. What I really wish, though, is that Hasbro would repaint the Sidearm Sideswipe in black with silver stripes and a silver grill, and dark purple windows (so that it would look like the repaint of HA Sideswipe, but without the ugly blue and brown in robot mode).

Are You ^&%$#@^%$ kidding me?
Deluxes here in The Netherlands cost 19,95 euro's. That's 29,17 for a deluxe, normal store prices... everywhere!
It'd be cheaper to ebay them from the US then walk to the store across the street.

I must say, Deluxe prime looks better then voyager prime. It's making my head hurt which one to get.
