New Jada Transformers Minifigs Found at Walmart with Lucky Pricing Error

Posted by william-james88 Apr 6, 2022 at 9:31am CDT 56,497 views
This is kind of two news pieces in one. Firstly, there are new Transformers themed toys at Walmart, in the form of the officially licensed Transformers metal minifigures from Jada. This set has 18 figures of G1 characters all made of die cast metal and they measure a little less than 2 inches in height. While these sets have an MSRP of $25 USD (like this GI Joe set here), this set was priced at only $12 USD. This is a pricing error since this same set is still on preorder at Amazon.com for the MSRP price. There is only one sighting so far, posted on the Transformers Addict Facebook page, where this was found in Texarkana, AR, so we do not know if this is the same price you'll see at your local Walmart when you find it. So, does this set interest you? And would it interest you at this price? Let us know!

missing legion class 3" tall, those were not only small but actually transform, and yes that size is perfect when you plan to collect hundreds of those, right now only 3rd parties are available

Some fans were excited to get this self transforming Optimus Prime toy for their kids when they first saw it. Well, it is now being found at Target. Fellow Seibertronian xrotrostormx found it in Michigan. There is a video of someone trying it out on youtube, which we posted below.

If you have found them, share your sightings with our community in the sightings section and on our boards in your region related thread.

I love the way it's packaged! It's hilarious! Chest puffed out, arms cocked at the sides, and the big words "TRY ME!" right there. I love it. Like he's egging you on to start a fight.

I kinda want it.

At least we don't have to worry about an app being discontinued and neutering much of the functionality of the toy.

Anyone have the link to the video? It's not showing up here for me and I couldn't find it on Youtube.

Judging from the passionate discussion over the recently seen Velocitron Black Convoy toy, it seems there are a lot of Nemesis Prime redeco fans out there. Well, Jada may have something for you. They revealed on their website, today, the upcoming Nemesis Prime scaled at 1:24, with lots of images showcasing the non transforming toy at many angles. They definitely had some fun with this photoshoot. The toy is $29.99 USD and can be ordered right now off the site.

Below is the listing info, which includes a character bio, and the images

TRANSFORMERS G1 NEMESIS PRIME, 1:24 SCALE VEHICLE

It’s the dark clone of the Autobot leader, constructed by an evil genius whose only allegiance is to himself. Designed to be the ultimate military commander and made from pure darkness, Nemesis Prime fears nothing and no one. The legendary Decepticon wears a sleek black exterior with a chrome finish, and decals to match. Our 1:24 scale Nemesis is the destructive big rig you need. The dark side is where you’ll want to be.

GENUINE: Authentically licensed product from the iconic G1 Transformers franchise
CLASSIC CAR AND FIGURE: Inspired by the protagonist Deception, Nemesis Prime
ENHANCEMENTS: Crafted from durable materials such as 100% Die-Cast metal body and premium rubber tires
FULLY LOADED: 1:24 Die-Cast with detailed wheel rims, and opening doors

When I first saw this, I thought: Oh, probably just another third party figure. But then ¨Optimus Prime¨ and ¨Officially licensed¨ Proved otherwise. But this looks like a lame piece of merchandise. I encourage everyone NOT to pay over voyager price-point for a figure whos transformation involves ¨standing up the car to see a robot jammed underneath ¨ :lol: I don have much against merchandise, but It should be cheaper than an actual figure, not matter how ¨die cast¨ it is. :michaelbay:

Am I crazy, or is the character art of Nemesis on that box the CG character model of Optimus from the Prime Wars Trilogy cartoon?

It's $30 so it is in fact cheaper than a Voyager. If I remember right these ones at this price point are pretty big, closer to MP-01 Prime than Earthrise Prime.

And really nobody should care if non-Transforming figures exist if they aren't preventing a transforming one from happening.

Still overpriced though. Don't know who'd actually buy this over a fully transforming version. Even though transformers are overpriced in general. :(

Anyone who wants a cool looking truck without a bunch of panel lines to stick on a shelf? Even the best Optimus Prime figure still doesn't look like a perfectly seamless truck (unless it's a shellformer like some of the movie Primes). I've got a few dozen Primes of every shape and size, what I don't have is a perfect looking truck so I do intend to buy a few of these.

I have movie Bee and Crosshairs, and they are really nice. I can't wait to display them next to the ones I have in robot mode. These are very well done vehicle modes. And sometimes, the vehicle mode needs to be allowed to shine like this

Fans found some good value to the original set of Jada Transformers mini figures. Well, for those who liked them, we have some good news. A photo posted on the Beast Wars Forever Facebook page shows that we are getting a new set of those. There are many redecos, like Nemesis Prime and some seekers but it also has Beast Wars characters. We see Optimus Primal, Cheetor, BW Megatron, Rhinox and Airazor. Can you name all the G1 characters? I ask because not all are obvious from that photo.

Also, it is marked on the box that this set is Walmart exclusive.
