We have been notified of an interesting listing over at Wal-Mart.com which features a very large and very heavy Ultra Magnus figure. It is unknown at this time whether this is a reissue of the Generation 1 Ultra Magnus, or a possible release of the Masterpiece UltraMagnus, so treat this as a rumour for now.

See the listing here and if you place an order be sure to tell us "what's in the box" when it arrives. And Remember, you can get all your toy news in the Seibertron.com Toy Section.

UPDATE!

It is confirmed by Seibertron.com member Bee-otch that the Walmart.com listing for Ultra Magnus is indeed the Toys R Us exclusive G1 Re-issue Figure!

I don't like that they're doing this at $90. I mean, it's a reissue, damnit. Hasbro didn't even pull this for Pepsi Prime. Matter of fact they ask half what I paid for it's Japanese counterpart at hasbrotoyshop.com (not that it's available to buy there at the moment). More than half, if you count shipping from Hong Kong. I'm happy they've reissued G1 Ultra Magnus again, but $90 for it? Damn good thing I bought it back when TRU had it; they didn't charge nearly that much, did they? I can't remember.

Man, this just seems like a scam. Whatever happened to Walmart's low-low prices?

I doubt it's the Masterpiece.
Where the hell would Wal-Mart of all places get the classic photo of Ultra Magnus?

If you look at the details on the listing (weight, etc), this really seems like a case of bait and switch to me. I really hope that Wal-Mart gets some flack for this one, either from Hasbro or the Better Business Bureau.

I agree he's worth buying. I'm just pissed wal-mart's charging $90 for it.

Yea, Walmart.com is a rip-off, they just ried to charge me 5 bucks just to ship Classics Mirage. Someone who bought this Magnus should print the website's description and report them

I am PISSED about this...I'd rather buy the Hasbro MP Prime for $69 ( I already have him) and sit and paint him to look like Magnus, HELL, even as Nemesis Prime then have some stale Ultra Magnus for $90!! Unfortunately, I DID order it, now I will have to slump off to my local Walmart and get my money back. To add insult to injury, UPS says the shipping for 2lbs should be around $7 NOT $20.

I like the Magnus toy, but NOT for $90...that could be my MP Starscream or Ultimate Bumblebee for godsake. I put Walmart on blast on their own reviews section under the Magnus thing...Look for "Targetfan" if you want to read an irrate toy collector.

Oh...I just checked a few minutes ago...it's now "unavailable" online. At least I know that I was screwed in good company!!

Oh....Head's up to further PISS ME OFF. Big Bad Toy Store has this SAME Magnus on pre-order for $74.99... WTF!!!!!!!

In the name of Cybertron, where is the Justice?!?!?!

Thats good, but I already have two G1 Magnus'.

I was hoping for the MP version.

Still, if you don't have this guy, I do recommend him.

Paying 90 bucks on Walmart for an Ultra Magnus g1 reissue is insane. That's got to be a mistake. It must be the Mp Optimus Prime white repaint for 90 bucks. Only toys r us had the g1 reissue exclusives. No other store did.
