Steal of a Deal: More Massive Savings on Walmart.com

Emerje wrote:Also, what do you think of this becoming a monthly or bi-weekly feature covering multiple stores? I'd really appreciate some feedback in the comments.

Conceptually I like the idea, but unfortunately prices and availability fluctuate too quickly to be realistic.

I feel the current way of newsing "strike while it's hot" works well to get the word out. Those do a great job of pointing users to this thread.

A quick look on Amazon right now and it looks like they are price-matching some of the Walmart price-drops.

Any chance these deals are up in brick and mortar stores or is it online only? Forgive me if thats an ignorant question

Perfectly fine question, but online only unless you can get a price match.

I got that KSI Boss deal last night with the Cyberverse clobber figure. Looking forward to Boss. Was gonna pass on him cause I have the first 2 uses of the mold, but for $13 couldn't pass it up

I know that feeling.



I ordered from Amazon when it was $22. Now I'm waiting on one from Walmart for $13.87 which I'll be returning to Amazon once it arrives.

I'm planning to run some head experiments when he arrives too. Might be worth swapping some heads if i find one that works with one of the bodies properly

Awesome, I've been needing Long Haul. I'll probably never get Rampage since we're supposed to be getting Skipjack.

TR die cast Thunderwing is a winner on TLK Nitro Zeus and TR Overboard is an almost perfect color match for SS Thunderwing.

Yeah they do look good. Thundercracker is keeping his head, but Zeus or Boss might be doing a swap. Thunderwing is in Zeus' cockpit right now

That's my head swap of choice.

100% agree about the Thunderwing. Overboard I hadn't considered though, might have to take a look.

Ordered my KSI Boss off walmarts website friday night with an old gift card I found! Should be ready for pickup mid week at my local store. Its honestly such a steal how could you ignore a Voyager for $14 after tax?!

Walmart Canada seems to be gearing up for Earthrise, with putting clearance prices on most of the Siege toys. They are all on clearance on Walmart.ca, but you can get even better prices in store. As you can see from my receipt below (please ignore my soft drink addiction), deluxes were found for $14 (about $10 USD) and voyagers were found for $24 (about $18 USD). In this same store, the leaders are also on sale for $39 (about $29 USD). Others have reported similar prices at their local Walmarts in Canada. And this includes ewven the latest releases from the line like Astrotrain, Crosshairs and Apeface. The G1 releases like Soundwave and Astrotrain are not discounted, they are both $70, and the Studio Series voyagers and leaders have been given a $5 price hike bringing them to $45 and $75 respectively. So, you win some you lose some.

Be nice if we could get this in the US, but thata would require Walmarts to actually carry Stock

Trust me, Wal Mart in that area only have sales because we're still stuck at Wave 1 barring the odd tiny addition of further waves...

My thought exactly. I've pretty much written off stores. I never find anything anymore.

id be happy to pay full price for a crosshairs at walmart. never gonna happen as we wont see them in stores ever.

I know right? In Winnipeg it took months and months to see anything past wave 1 Siege on shelves (At Walmart or Toys R Us) and even then it was one stocking of them and now all I see is bits of Wave 1. I don't know why Hasbro seems to hate stocking stores here in Canada. It's bad enough that prices are so inflated but now we can't even FIND product in stores

I've seen Crosshairs a few times but never Spinister.

Walmart.com has a good price on the:

Transformers Toys BotBots Arcade Renegades Surprise 16 Figures
https://www.walmart.com/ip/Transformers?wmlspartner=FYAGeMjDX6c&=&affs=p&wid=5b6b4213e4b0bcb699adeb9f&u1=&oid=223073.10006940&sourceid=37141976172661509211&affillinktype=3&veh=aff ... /255478193

for $11.99. I just got my first BotBots a few days ago, and these little figures are better than I expected them to be. Anyways this is an awesome price for a good set!

Fellow Seibertronian EmoTim has informed us that the BotBots Arcade Renegades are 60% Off on Walmart.com. Please remember though, that 5 out of the 6 possible sets, 4 of the 16 Botbots will be rereleases from series 1.

Derp. Ordered the arcade set on Amazon for 50% off thinking I was getting a great deal (and I was) only to come here and see this posted. I really need to look around before hitting the order button, I did the same thing with Siege Barricade recently. In that case I was able to cancel my Amazon order and get the better deal on Amazon, but Amazon says I may be canceling too late despite only being a few hours ago and Sunday. I ordered the Walmart one, too, and if the Amazon one doesn't cancel I'll just return it to Kohl's.

Even better, let both arrive, pick which one you want (maybe you get number 6 from one of them) and return the other to Amazon at Kohls.

I've seen Crosshairs at Target, buried amongst lingering Wave 2 and lingering restocked Wave 1. Spinister, not so much. I've never seen so much as one Refraktor. And Apeface and Astrotrain haven't been able to get in because of all the shelfwarming Megatrons and Shockwaves. Well, to be fair, sometimes there's room on the Leader shelf with those Shockwaves, it just hasn't been filled yet.

Deal of the day on Amazon. 12.99 for TR Repugnus as well as others on sale.

Yeah, I just noticed these:

Too bad the Skywarp set sold out long ago.

I just bought the Alphastrike set because I've been wanting to turn that Sideswipe into a deluxe Scamper to go with Metroplex. All the little guys that go with the city bots are deluxe except for Scamper. I find that very irritating.

If you are in the US you want to pro-order the recent toy fair reveals at Target.com right now! Target is having a BOGO 50% sale this week on all transformers and the recent pre-orders are included!!!

Even better, Studio Series Overload is listed at the mistake price of $29.99. And, Earthrise Quintesson and Snapdragon are showing up as on sale for $19.99 for some reason.

I did a bunch of checkouts one at a time to make sure to get the best savings. I snagged Spapdragon and 3 Quintessons for a little over $60, SS Overload, Skipjack, Blitswing and Scrapper for a little over $90. And a few pairs of delixes at a little over $30 per pair.

Wow, that's an incredible deal! Just order 14 items including all the Earthrise stuff available, the last three parts of SS Devastator (including Skipjack), Cyberverse Arcee and Thunderhowl, and in stock SS Soundwave car and the SS bike girls for just under $260 over 5 shipping months saving $92.34 with Red Card's 5% off everything (which was then negated by Maine's 5.5% sales tax). That's a hell of a deal, it could have easily been $357 for all that without any discounts and with tax.

Emerje

That may be a long title, but that's because we don't want you to miss out on this incredible opportunity! If you're looking for the best price on the latest Transformers revealed at Toy Fair this week then look no further than Target! Thanks to Seibertronian TF-fan kev777 we've found out about not one but two super timely Transformers sales happening all this week. The first sale is all Transformers, both online and in stores, are buy one get one 50% off. Be it War for Cybertron (Siege or Earthrise), BotBots, Cyberverse, Studio Series or anything in between at any size class or assortment it's good for the sale, no coupon necessary. That includes all of the early pre-orders for figures just revealed this weekend at Toy Fair. Not everything is listed, but the majority of the new reveals are.

And if that wasn't enough there's also a second sale just for War for Cybertron Voyagers taking an instant $10 off, including Quintesson Judge and Snapdragon! You can basically get two Voyagers for the price of one! And if you can catch it early enough they've listed Studio Series Leader Overload for an erroneous $29.99. And of course if you want to save a little more you can still use a RedCard to save another 5% off everything.







The BOGO sale is also available for Paw Patrol, Hatchimals, Baby Alive, and Fortnite if any of those are of interest to you and you can mix and match the offers between brands. There's potential to save well over a hundred dollars depending on how much you order this week. Let us know in the Energon Pub Forums if you managed to get any use out of this sale as many of these items are sure to sell out as pre-orders as they often do. Also let us know in the Transformers Toy Haul thread if you managed to snag anything good in stores.

Thanks for posting this buddy!

Just got me the quintesson and Snapdragon preordered! It was basically like getting one for free.

Too bad they didn’t have wave 1 or earthrise up on the website. Guess I’ll be hitting some targets this week.

Not bad. I just got a leader, two voyagers, and a deluxe, all for $76.21 including tax, with free shipping. Gonna take some of the fun out of hunting, but saving money is saving money!

This is one of the wildest sales I've seen in years. Thank you!

Emerje wrote:(which was then negated by Maine's 5.5% sales tax)

Lucky, we're looking at 9.95%. You'd think our streets would be paved in gold

Anyway, picked up Snapdragon and a "free" Quintesson. Bogo just isn't enough off to justify dropping anymore change.

Found the best filters on the cesspool that is the target dot com marketplace.

Ordered!!! Thanks for the heads up. $30 for the leader!!

I just secured SS Overload, Skipjack, Sentinel, Blitzwing, and Scrapper, and Earthrise Doubledealer, Quintesson, and Snapdragon for right around $188! They would normally have been around $300 after tax, huge savings there.

Thought about the deluxes, but it wouldn't have been as big as savings, and I want to leave some to hunt for

Man this sale is so Random and Frustrating. If I were to see Earthrise Prime & Astrotrain in store, Id be all over it. But as it is, on Target's website, there are only 2 items I want, (ER Fasttrack and Doubledealer), which would ultimately only save me $10. If you want ER Voyagers, or SS, this is a great sale. I may try to hit up some Targets today, but I'm not optimistic

Yeh, I basically pre-ordered everything thru target, haven't done that before, but I absolutely couldn't say no to saving all that money

Thanks for the heads up on the Target sale!
Got the Snapdragon and Quintesson for the sale and half off each after being paired with Dealer and an erroneous deluxe.
Getting the Red Card had been a motivation for Red Wing last year but this sale made it all worth it.
The 5% off nearly negates my RI sales tax at 7% making this a double win.

THANKS AGAIN!!!

After hearing some stories over the Studio Series thread, I hope none of us suffer any adverse effects to pre-ordering with the sale or the mis-labeled prices

Thanks for ruining it

Well I only had to go to 2 Targets. Astrotrain has seemingly arrived in droves!. Optimus, obviously is the harder to get of two. The second store I went to had one in the back. Score! .

None of the Targets seem to have the BOGO signage up in the toy departments, if not for the article, I wouldn't have known.

I found an Optimus today, but no astrotrain. I picked up one of the endless Shockwaves to get the deal, which I’ll either return or exchange when I find a leader I want.

Apparently my Target didn't get the memo... or stock: only the WFC Voyager sale was advertised, but none on the shelves!

This Target sale is great, but I'm confused.
I took advantage of it online and locked down some of the preorders on the reveals from Fair. But then I got itchy so I hit the streets in hopes of finding some things on shelf. I had to ask for help, and they pulled one lonely Grapple from the back. I figured what the heck, and grabbed him even though there was nothing to BOGO. I was willing to pay full price anyway.
But! He rang up as 19.99.
There is so much going on with this sale I can't keep it all straight. So it's BOGO on all transformers toys, AND all voyagers are 19.99?
Man I hope I find some more this week!

Got Scrapper and Overload for $48 otd via the Target sale. That's right: Overload was the same price as Scrapper ($29), and I got $15 off plus free shipping. Only downside is I may not see Overload until October.

How long is this Target deal suppose to last?

I've spent too much money recently to take advantage of it right now, and have some bills coming up soon that need paying, but if the sale lasts long enough until I get paid again later this week, I may then be able to make some use of it.

Just WFC Voyagers, they didn't include Studio Series. I guess they're trying to clear all those Megatrons out, but they should have done a discount on Leaders instead to get rid of all those Shockwaves.



And yeah, the sale runs all week, last day Saturday. I won't be able to hit Target until Thursday or Friday so hopefully they've restocked by then. If I can find Grapple and Starscream I'll happily cancel my Pulse pre-order.

Emerje

I got the discount on SS, so not just WFC.
