Does anyone have any theories on Walmart.com selling the Encore reissues? This is the first time a brick and mortar store has sold non-Hasbro Transformers on one of their websites. I'm curious to hear some theories about this.

They found another way to cash in on the collector market? Perhaps some new relationship with Takara or Japanese vendors in general?
If the prices were more Wal-Martish I'd probably buy these encore figures from them.

I find it peculiar, that the description states they are PVC? I alway associate PVC with immobile un-transformable figures.
In any case, they are little too expensive considering what BBTS was asking for them before they sold out.

When BBTS is the cheaper alternative, you know something's not right with this picture.
Ridiculous.

Okay, I am really confused here... what exactly is Wal-Mart going to carry? Are these actuals or PVCs or what? And, why in the world are these things priced so much? I commend that Hasbro/Wal-Mart is trying to appeal to the collectors, but at high prices? Damn, I hate being broke.

you know.. i ordered my megatron when he got reissued in january for 69.00 from digital-toys as there prices are better then bigbadtoystore in some cases.. but anyway, they were unmodified. it was the book #6 edition. on another note i ordered soundwave for 49 and prime for 59 from digital toys.. when the first book series came out, it was 70.00 for the prime and megatron after the presale and that was the price for a while, so this series is a little cheaper..
i love walmart and they do have good deals but who would pay 100 for a prime when you can get him 40 dollars less almost anywhere.. even ebay..
Right now the reissue hasbro ultra mangus that walmart was selling is going for 64.00 on digital-toys and starscream is still 34.00, soundwave is stil 49.00 it was 13.oo shipping for my soundwave and prime together.. i could of ordered starscream and had all but megatron for the same price as walmart had em.. i think walmart just doesn't get it at the prices for these things.. if you buy from walmart online,. you have a freidt ordebit card which you can use at most of the online stores.. so i really don't get it, but if they release a fort max.. high price aside for around 200.00 i would so jump on that ****....
and if it does happen and some of the collectors get upset cause thier value goes down on thier originals than ohh well, i could care less how much my figured would go for as i collect them because i am a fan and i think everyone should have a fort max
