EDIT: While this toy was found at Walmart is is most assuredly a mistake and will not be found at Walmarts across the country. The toy did NOT ring up at the cash and the customer needed assistance to buy the product under another code. So, most of you will have to wait until this toy is sold by Walgreens during the holiday shopping season. Here is what Blaster Mister wrote regarding the transaction:
"So what exactly happened was. I rung her up and it error and had to wait for a associate. He came over and scanned her again and typed the upc on the checkout but it didn't work. He then just looked up the upc in his device and he said it came up and it was just the Hasbro logo and was about to scan that for normal deluxe price."
Minerva is a character formerly exclusive to Japanese G1 continuity, and is noteworthy for being the first Transformers toy ever to be released as a female character. This marks not only her first transforming toy in 34 years, but her first ever toy to be released in Western markets. She's a redeco and new head retool of Legacy Deluxe Class Wave 2's Elita One (who as of this writing, hasn't been found at retail).
As can be seen from the images above, we have the first look at Minerva in her packaging, as well as the barcode on her box, and the assortment box she came in.
What do you make of these images? Is this an aberration that she's shown up at Walmart instead of the rumored Walgreens? Have things possibly changed, and she'll be coming to a different chain? Let us know what you think or speculate below!
but i'm keeping Eject inside...with toy prices rising i'm not gonna risk cracking or fracture him.
