The street date for the Wal*Mart Exclusive Masterpiece Skywarp in the United States was November 1st. We are a couple days past that, and we have what seems to be the first sighting of the figure within the country. Thanks to Hicks_Royel of TFW2005, who spotted and purchased the figure at a Kentucky Wal*Mart. Skywarp goes for the decent price of $60 US. This doesn't seem to be an isolated incident, so check your local Wal*Marts Seibertronians!

For our international members, Masterpiece Skywarp has already been released in Canada and the United Kingdom. If you're unsure about the future purchase of the figure, check out forum member kirbenvost's pictorial of the Skywarp here. You can check out the original thread here. If you happen to find Skywarp at your local Wal*Mart, remember to fill out Skywarp's sighting page to help out fellow members and fans.

Awesome for the guys that want it. I myself and ordering the Takara one. But it's still good to hear and the price is excellent.

I wish it wasn't so pricy. :-(

He spent a lot of money on the figures but he has what appears to be an CRT monitor. Oh well, I would have bought Skywarp now anyways and waited till Black Friday to upgrade the monitor. :grin:

I went to two last night on my way home from grad school, and neither had him on the pallets about to be set. I may try to use the UPC, though.

I'll keep an eye out for him, but something tells me he may be abit cheaper when black friday rolls around, doubtful but hopeful..

Great news for the US fans!

Suprisingly, this is one of the first instances of a figure actually being cheaper in Canada. It's $59.92 here, and as everyone knows, our dollar isn't valued as high as the USD.

I still have a CRT monitor too. :p I'd much rather spend my money on new figures than a nice looking monitor, if my old one still works fine.

I checked a couple of Wal-Marts in my area (Algonquin and Elgin) and didn't see anything new so far.

News Credits: 609 · by **Razorclaw0000** » Tue Nov 03, 2009 3:20 pm

Just checked with my three local Wal-Marts, and all of them have requests in for around 30 figures, but they don't have an ETA. I'll keep calling every day this week.

If you can find an MP for 60, why not?

by **transformerdude** » Tue Nov 03, 2009 7:52 pm

Yeah I'm in CAnada and I got mine almost two weeks ago from my local Wal-mart. He's the first Masterpiece figure I got and for 60 bucks I feel like a got a good deal. I also like that Hasbro didn't cheap out on this figure and kept all the accessories.

News Credits: 1 · by **Solrac333** » Tue Nov 03, 2009 8:33 pm

I went to 2 out of 3 Walmarts in my area...nothing.

Anyone know the sku or upc to check with? I have a feeling my local wally won't get it, but the one not too far may.

by **3.8TransAM** » Tue Nov 03, 2009 10:38 pm

No luck in Tinley Park, IL Wally World

Same goes for Schererville, MErrilville and Hammond, IN

Ran the SKU number and warehouse shows zero, but multiple stores got in multiple truck loads of toys today.

Will call t'row and find out

Correct me if I am wrong, but I believe you just need the number that is listed on the receipt. When I was trying to track down alternator ravage at Walmart years ago, they told me the UPC number on the box was not used in their system. Rather, it is their own number that appears on the receipt.

Just use the number that is in the picture of the receipt and I believe that will work.
