Wow, nice! I might have to jump on MP Skywarp if I see him for $25, even tho the MP Seeker I really want is Thundercracker.

A little bummed bec. I bought the Devastator racetrack on sale at Target for $29 a month ago. Wonder if I still have the receipt...

Picked up Ultra Magnus (Animated) for $20. Now sure if I am really all that happy with that.

I think this may not be a nation wide clearence..The 5 wal marts in my area have nothing in terms of clearence for any figs right now..It's funny too because they have several endcaps overflowing with $11 deluxes and a disorganized aisle loaded with various leaders, voyagers and exclusives....Heck one of them had MP skywarps sitting on the floor ...

I think that's expected of most Walmarts. :grin:

The nearest Walmart (Miami, Florida) still has MP Skywarp for $60 and the ROTF Ramjet for $22. No Transformers have been in clearance during the holidays. Hell, i've seen toys that have been in clearance for near a year, but they won't lower the price one cent. That's why i prefer Target, even if they put up the new lines a little later than Walmart.

None of the Wal-Marts in my area have anything on clearance.

That's the problem with these kind of threads...it's most often not the case outside of that one store, or at best it's hit and miss with mostly misses. These posts might be better served in the sightings forum...

All of these clearence sales are pretty much hit and miss. The Walmart I usually frequent had about 15 Slywarps left before thay decided to start work their clearence Aisle. I hovered around the store until they were fininshed and headed back once I saw them moving all of their carts and evereything into the back romm.

Once I got back to the clearence racks, guess what was missing? All Skywarps were gone. I have a somewaht jaded veiw on Walmart (being treated like **** by their management for four months kind of does that to you.)
My guess is that the employees set them aside to purchase after their shift.

Another bs nice Skywarp shenanigan you say? One of the other Walmarts around here they had already moved all ot their Skyarps the clearence to the clearence section already. I thought that I had hit paydirt unti I checked out the price. Red Tagged for ......$60. I even took one to those scanners that tells you the pric., still $60.

Doesn't clearence usually mean that you sould at least save something on the price, not pay the full MSRP? The sad thing is that some mother or father will just see the red tag and think He's saveing some money.

I've gotten into the habbit now to watch every item that scans through to make sure that the price scanned at the correct price. (Needless to say, the people in live behind me don't care for me that much.

Thins may be a little off, but I think newly dug up corpses have a higher IQ than 95% of the workers at my local Walmarts.

-- OK, Rant Over --

I hate the damn store, yet I find myself there at least once a week.

At least I was able to score the Super Tuner throwdown for $11 and a GI Joe RoC Night Raven for $20 so I Guess it wasn't a complete wast.

Even though I initially balked at the GI Joe Night Raven for the initial $40, I bought one on clearance at a TRU for $20 and it is indeed pretty cool.

Wouldn't buy the Super Tuner set for $11 though, it just looks like epic fail to me.

Sideways is pretty much just for the upper body parts, I just need to build him some nioe new legs and give him a fresh coat of paint. And the way I look at it, it was two deluxes for the price of one. As for the blue truck (whatever his name is, I forgot already) once you get rid of his gun hands and give him a decent pair of fists he doesn't really look that bad.

Still, for a $11 you can't go wrong, especially if you have plans to fix them up.

My Walmart has had one MP Skywarp floating around for the past couple of months. It has been going down in price slowly. We were shoping for the kids for Valentines Day last night and my wife and I stumbled upon it in the clearence isle for $20. It is now sitting next to it's new friend Bludegon.

My Wal-Mart had very little TF's on clearence tonight. I got the last Universe Ultra they had left for $11, other than that MP Skywarp was still $60, and the only RoTF toy on clearence was Skywarp for $22. Other than that they just had loads of the kids RoTF Bumblebee costume set on sale, not much else.
