I just picked up Kre-o Megatron and Kre-o Starscream for a mere $5.00 each.

There was also the small/basic Bumblebee for $2.00...but I didn't bite.

Good hunting!

Wow, I wish my Walmart would drop them that low, last time I checked they were still $20!

Funny you should mention $20. That's what they rang up at the register, but I pointed out the red $5 clearance sticker on both boxes and she adjusted the price. (Maybe they were mispriced?)

Full-sized Bumblebee was still weighing in at $21, though, and he had no clearance sticker; so I passed on him.

Very interesting! Perhaps I'll take a walk over to Wallyworld tomorrow morning and see what's up.

I'm waiting for any that aren't Ratchet to show up at Ross. I need a Starscream Kreon.

Well I didn't find any Kre-o stuff, but I did have a terribly interesting find! Some ROTF overstock! Picked up the Walmart exclusive two pack of Beachcomber and Deadlift. They had the one with Trenchmouth as well.

I feel like Beachcomber could use a touch of silver on his mouthplate, but that's what paint is for.

I'm pretty sure it's random finds like these that keep me collecting. It's like some kind of Skinner box experiment.

Indeed, it's always nice.

Neither of them are super great, but they're both quite nice. And I'm always glad to add a fellow named Beachcomber to the mix!
