Apparently, Walmart is trying to play a trump card at the last minute with the Transformers DVD. Seibertron.com member payload reports that he bought the Transformers DVD from a Walmart in Ohio and he was given a free Movie Deluxe figure.

According to payload, the Walmart he went to keeps a bin of deluxes near the register and they randomly give you one. It has not been confirmed from any other part of the country yet, but it is worth investigating when deciding on which store you want to get your copy from.

If anyone else gets this "freebie", please let us know.

I front paged this as a rumor (because we don't know if this is a regional deal, or national deal).

If anyone else finds this going on, let us know!

Orson Welles was the voice of Unicron in the '86 movie, and died before it was finished.

i check 3 walmarts in Central California and they have no clue what any of this is about.

My wife works at one and they are definately NOT doing this, so I bought mine there.

How come he got the movie and I didn't? Oh, wait...wasn't looking because it wasn't supposed to be out for another day when I was there. I wanna look into this though. I'm willing to be it's because after the "drought" a lot of the older figures (like Brawl and Wreckage) are now shelf-warming. I wouldn't mind a free figure with my movie, though, if it's not something I already have. Since I should be going into town tomorrow anyway, I think I'll look into it.

That would require my Wal-Mart to actually RE-STOCK the Transformers toys. What part of Ohio did you find this in? I didn't see any kind of bins in the Findlay stores last night
