Steal of a Deal: Beast Wars Reissues Hit Clearance at Walmart.com

*almost* original 1996 prices

I would have felt much better buying them at these prices. Even the Black Friday deals weren't this good.

this seems to be online only, as they are still full price at both of my local stores, and the web site is saying they aren't even in stock at my stores when they are.

Know that Walmart will honor online prices for any product they sell on their site (sold by them and not a 3rd party) so you can go to your store and take it to the register and they can scan it for the online price and give it to you as long as the price is still online.

Now, finding an employee at the self checkout (because that is all that is ever open) that knows the policy, and how to enter it on the register is another story...

Especially since they apparently don’t honor their own price matches anymore.

This worked perfectly for me and now I have the Optimus and Megatron at such a great price. Thanks for the tip!

Looks like Rattrap got hiked to a price of 19.99 from 29.99 in less than 24 hours. The others are still fine with the price in the news

They probably saw people buying like crazy because he was finally at a reasonable price for the size and thought he was just popular and hiked the price up,

Probably, he was definitely at $9.99 "Clearance" for a little while, I'm seeing him at $19.99 "Rollback" sold by Walmart now.

More likely they use an algorythm similar to amazon and have an alloted amount of figures priced at 9.99. When they were bought up, it went back to the standard price.

I was just there yesterday and they were still regularly priced.

I ordered all of them and they came today. Nostalgia hitting hard

Walmart.com, not the physical store. However, they do online price matching to an extent, you can give that a shot, plus the tags don't always reflect the scanned price on the app.

Not sure if anyone saw this, but the prices just dropped down a bit more.

- Optimus ($19.07)
- Megatron ($18.96)
- Cheetor ($8.76)

Hope everyone has a great Christmas.

Thanks! I just picked up 2 Megatrons.

I just picked up a Optimus and Megatron after reading this. $40.31 after taxes. That's like getting one for free, plus $10 off on the other. Couldn't pass that up.

I called walmart and got a price adjustment. They refunded me $12 from the first clearance prices. Ill take it.

Agreed. Saw that and about pooped my pants. I needed office decorations so I picked up the big ones.

I miss the days when they were this price...

More like getting them at their original 1996 Price Point, .

Honestly. I know the cost of materials and shipping has increased dramatically in the last few years. But I feel the same about OG releases as any other timeline, they shouldn't be more than double the original price, which the BW mostly were, except Rattrap, he should have only been $10, as he is a basic, NOT a deluxe, but whatever...

Also its part of the reason I passed on all the retro Original Series releases. $50 for JUST Optimus Prime's cab is absolutely ridiculous. I know they clearance it down to a reasonable price, but the more Walmart has to do that, they less likely they will be to support these releases in the future.

I'd actually be surprised if Walmart chooses to pick up Tigatron and Scorponok early next year. I hope for the sake of those that want them, they do.

I just don't want these. I already have superior-decoed versions of the Rattrap, Cheetor, Optimus, and Megatron molds. I have no need for reissues that either reduce paint apps or make halfhearted attempts at show-accuracy.

I want Scorponok and maybe Tigatron, since those do look significantly better than what was done with these first four. Gimme those instead. And Cybershark and maybe K-9 (if there's some difference to his deco) if the rumors are to be believed.

I keep thinking about Primal, but I am so very happy with both my Kingdom and PotP one, and I have an OG Optimal Optimus, I just can't bring myself to get him even at that price

They went down again!

- Optimus ($14.99)
- Megatron ($14.90)
- Cheetor ($6.89)

I just had my order from 2 days ago adjusted for the difference through the Walmart online chat.

Likely they haven't hit their acceptable loss numbers yet, hence the lack of change.

Thanks for Tip Now they are just $15. Time to buy a bunch and hold on to them for a year or two. I can't believe they made so many to have to go down to this price.

Target has Kingdom and Cyberverse Deluxes for 13.50. Also Kingdom Leaders for $35.

Target's search engine on their websites truly sucks.

Agreed. My apologies however, I should have clarified. This was in store. Not sure if it applies online as well? They had a few Kingdom wave 4 and some Cyberverse. For Kingdom Leaders, the store I went to only had about 6 BW Megatrons.

I wonder if Hasbro shipped solid cases of Leader Megatron? Especially after going to the Walmart across the street and seeing 20+ on the bottom shelf ( see Kingdom main thread)

I finally caved and bought the rerelease Optimus Primal at $14 last week on christmas eve. I will post about him in his thread

By far it's one of the worst.

Definitely, the app is better than the website, but it's still awful

The biggest problem with Target, and Walmart for that matter are that both stores stopped taking pre-orders for individual regular releases. They both appear to have stopped at Kingdom Galvatron for WFC and the Grindor/Slag for SS. I haven't seen an individual Listing for any regular release since they were announced.

I do wonder if they learned their lessons from last year's pre-order debacles and just said forget it for anything that isn't one of their exclusives.

I mean it makes sense, they still got their fair share of purchases from me finding bots in store before the online retailers started shipping. Why bother taking pre-orders if they are terrible at keeping them on track if they will likely end up selling all they ordered one way or another?

These stores should stick to what they know and do best. Preorders were always a headache with them, glad they dropped it. Fans who are preorder savy can get them elsewhere when it comes to general release figures.

GameStop on their website currently has a 15% off deal on "high end' toys and statues, which evidently includes Transformers. Some notable availabilities I saw were Selects Galvatron for $45, and the Jurassic Park crossover set for $90. They would have Black Zarak for $135, but alas it's not available to order online at this time

www.gamestop.com

It looks like ALL Transformers figures are on sale right now. Rhinox for $25, Deep Cover, Black Arachnia from Kingdom...all included.

My apologies, I guess I should have clarified that. Yes all the Transformers are 15% off at GameStop. I just was highlighting what I thought might have been some of the more desirable ones in stock.

It is almost all Transformers, or all in stock items. Legacy pre-orders and the Bee movie pre-order figures are not included

They DO show Black Zarak at $135, but it can't be ordered at this time, very frustrating.

o.supreme wrote:They DO show Black Zarak at $135, but it can't be ordered at this time, very frustrating.

Black Zarak actually says "sold out" from a search so someone lucky might have actually gotten one.

It's a good sale, thanks for posting, but nothing I want is in stock.

I took advantage of it for some more stuff, but nothing TF wise I wanted was there

Not normally a good place for TF sales. But currently, Forbidden Planet has Ark for £99.99

Reasonable price for a Titan Class.

Best Buy has 10 Transformers on clearance. Check out the list here:

https://www.bestbuy.com/site/searchpage ... ansformers

Thanks to a heads up from Seibertronian EmoTim, we have news that Best Buy has a limited number of Transformers from the War for Cybertron toyline on sale. Current sale items include:

Earthrise Fasttrack for $13.99
Kingdom Wingfinger for $13.99
Studio Series Soundwave for $13.99
Earthrise Airwave for $13.99
Cyberverse Wildwheel for $14.99
Kingdom Wheeljack for $16.99
Cyberverse Bumblebee for $17.99
Kingdom Rhinox for $20.99

The sale also includes a cheap Kingdom Optimus Prime and Cyclonus, but both are currently shown as out of stock.

You can click on the Best Buy link above to go to the sales page. Let us know if you pick any of these up below!

Studio Series Core Ravage is only $8.49 on Amazon right now. That's a much easier price to swallow for his size and simplicity.

Have you been thinking about getting the Kingdom Rodimus Prime figure, but haven't really committed to the idea yet? Do you have an Amazon Prime account? Do you use Amazon in any capacity? Well if the answer is yes, then we have a small treat for you.

The War for Cybertron: Kingdom Rodimus Prime figure, the commander class figure for the Kingdom line, is currently showing as $72.98 on Amazon, which is a 15% discount from its normal $84.99 commander class cost. This deal will presumably only run for a short period of time, so if you want this figure, now is definitely a good time to jump!

Check out the links below, and let us know if you get one in the comments section below!

It's a deal, but not as good a deal as the one when he was 49 bucks.

Are you looking to save a little money on a toy in these trying times? Do you enjoy going to Target or surfing the Target.com? Well, good news, Target.com is currently offering a deal where you get 20% off a single toy in store or on their site. This offer is available only if you are a member of the Target circle program, and can be added by going to your Wallet and adding the offer. Once you have saved the offer, you can use it to buy a figure in store or online.

While there isn't really anything good online at the moment, we do have word that the latest wave of Studio Series deluxes as well as the most recent wave of Buzzworthy Bumblebee figures have been showing up in stores. So if you want to venture into one of the stores and see if they have one, you can use the circle code to get 20% off.

I used this in store on Bee Movie Soundwave last Sunday. Guess I should've mentioned that here, while there was still a week of life in it.

My local Target hasn't had any new Transformers in for a while outside of the new BB Deluxes which were all gone. Ended up spending the discount on MOTUO Stridor.
