The Constructicons came and went with some states seeing him only briefly last year, and others more recently on clearance only a few months ago. He's still listed at full price at $74.00US but if you were reluctant to take the plunge on this set and regretted missing it, here's your second chance. Just click HERE or any of the images below to head to WalMart.com and prepare to get devastated!

If you dig many pages back, I asked that question because the Takara Encore "anime colored" version that I got was stable as a house of cards. But the Walmart one was confirmed to be rock solid.

Last time I checked mine before Black Friday, tons of Cassette 2-packs. Surprising, really.

Walmart's stock distribution is just utter chaotic bullshit, honestly. There's no rhyme or reason to it, and no one ever knows what's going on. I don't know how they continue to succeed by doing things so poorly.

Yes, that's what i heard.
That one was in the Japanese black-and-white colors deco.chuckdawg1999 wrote:william-james88 wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Is this the first time the original U.S. toy colors deco has ever gotten a reissue?

No, there was a commemorative series reissue. It came years after the original line. I think it was an online exclusive.

That's the only mildly interesting part of this one for me. I'm extremely disappointed they didn't go with this opportunity to make one like the Collector's Edition New Year's Special but with a deeper purple.Sabrblade wrote:Is this the first time the original U.S. toy colors deco has ever gotten a reissue?

Before saying no, please check the facts.

His price is a 75% mark up from the original, accounting for inflation. The gap in original value/production cost and new pricing gets larger as these reissues go on. It's getting a bit absurd.
