at stopped at one of my local WalMarts this morning to pick up a couple of wave 3 ROTF figures.
i didn't notice any signs mentioning a sale, but when i checked out i noticed that the deluxe movie figures i was purchasing rang up at $9.00 each as opposed to the $11.88 price tag on the pegs. unfortunately i didn't have time to ask anyone about this sale. so, i don't know if this sale extends to the other classes of movie figures or to the leftover animated line. if you're thinking of picking up any toys soon WalMart might be worth checking out. just thought i would pass this along. maybe someone else can fill in the details i'm missing!

Walmart is so horrible with their pricing. For example, one WM in my area had the Star Trek figures clearanced for $2-$6 each; they were originally $7-$10 depending on the size class. The WM just one city away still had them at full price and now another WM has them marked at $7. Target just runs their stuff better and more consistent.

Hell, I am still waiting for wave 3 around these parts. Wally world is still stocked up with waves 1 and 2. I gotta get a FEW of that Ravage.

No sale in the Walmart in Westbury, N.Y. They did have the Skywarp and Ramjet Walmart exclusives, but they were $26.99 each. Too much for my blood.

Ok. When TF3 comes out, I will be patient and just wait for the sales. Also, I don't care, I always think of Ravage as a dog not cat. There, I said it.

I went to my local Wal-Mart and bought The Fallen for $18. I'd say there could very well be a sale.

I picked up Mixmaster from the Kokomo Wal-mart this mornng and it rang up $18. I'd say sale but there was no indication on the display or shelves.

Sale! They were on sale at my Walmart but they hadn't put the signs up yet. Signs said $11.88 for deluxes, I got Breakaway for $9.00.

I went to one of my local Wal-Marts yesterday and pickedup Soundwave and Ravage. I'm very happy to have them, does anyone know if it's just the Revenge of the Fallen figures that are on sale or if the Animated figures are also on sale?

Stopped by walmart yesterday and this is in fact true. Picked up Fallen for $18 and Ravage for $9. Is Ravage really listed as a wolf? All it says on my receipt is Transformer. If he looked more wolf like id use him for one but its to feline looking.

by **Knightmare10880** » Sat Jun 27, 2009 2:54 pm

On my receipt both he and Soundwave are just listed as Transformer. I guess different stores do things different ways.

I'm waiting too. I got screwed this time around with the prices. Also, you aren't the only one who thinks Ravage is a little dog-like. I know he is a cat, but he always seemed like a Doberman to me.

No sale here in the UK, cheapest you can find them is just under £13 ($21.50) in my local Tesco which is ridiculously expensive. :sad:

Everyone outside of the U.S. just gets screwed on TF prices. It is ridiculous.

Exactly, with this sale people in America can get two figures and have a bit left in their wallet while we can only buy one figure. But I'm not bitter. :lol:

Not entirely true.. I live in San antonio tx and I have yet to see any kind of wal mart sale whatso ever.. target will advertise the sale but not haveany of the figures out, thats ridiculous.. I will say that alot of other countries get the shaft as well

Yeah but even so you guys still get them cheaper than us but I'm sure there are only sales in certain areas as you said which would be annoying I must admit.
