Walmarts in US and Canada Liquidating 2020 Transformers Toys

Went to 3 Walmarts near me today, 0-3 on finding any wave 2 Netflix and 0-3 on seeing any clearance.

There will be no clearance on these in my area because there are very little. What they NEED to clearance is Cyberverse, those are the ones cluttering up shelves not selling.

Also that pic has to be from Canada right? They don't sell Battlemasters at Walmarts in the US.

Yup, it's a pic I took yesterday. I posted it in the earthrise thread in response to he arcee discussion we were having.

I went to three walmarts as well. Hoping to find an Allicon at these prices. I struck out as well. All that was left was Airwave and 1 of the three walmarts did not have discounts.

Definitely didn't see anything clearanced at Walmart yesterday. Hardly anything to mark down to begin with. And the current peg layout is highly questionable, leaving only one peg for WFC in the top left camera (with the Rollback tag on it) and none for NetFlix. The rest of the pegs are all Studio Series (or MV6 as they're still calling it on some tags). They even made a point of spreading out the few SS figures they had in an attempt to fill the pegs. They even squeezed in a fifth Cyberverse one step peg at the bottom right among the 7 SS pegs for no good reason.




There's a displaced Cliffjumper sitting on the Voyagers there, I put him back where he belongs after the photo.

That's a nice looking walmart tf section.

Only because they just restocked a bunch of the larger figures, there's hardly anything Deluxe class (aside from fresh stock of wave 4 Cyberverse). And then there's those Titan Guardians on the right, if they just cut those down to two pegs they could have two pegs free for Battle Masters and Micromasters. But no, gotta keep making space for the same figures they've been selling for seven years. Can't tell if it's the same, worse or better than when they stuck those eye sores in a shelf display and stopped selling all Leader class figures last year.

From my perspective you have the walmart G1 exusive readily available along with the walmart exclusive Netflix voyagers plus wave 4 of the cyberverse deluxes (which I don't have) so it's not half bad. Pretty sure many would be jealous if you posted this on a US facebook group.

There's a nice deal on Amazon.com right now. Transformers Toys Generations War for Cybertron Deluxe Fan-Vote Battle 3 Pack with Holo Mirage, Powerdasher Aragon, & Decepticon Impactor (IDW) is only $37.99 USD. That's 46% off from the original price. For those that don't have this set yet, it's a really good opportunity. Prime eligible.

You can get it here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07PZY481L/re?tag=seibertron07-20& ... We-RFJeCa4



Description of the product below:

The wreckers, LED by Impactor, are a highly skilled team of mercenaries who are at their best when the odds of survival are at their worst. They're exactly the kind of soldiers the Autobots need on their side. Can mirage Persuade them to join the Autobot cause?

Ahh...memories... I got that set last year around this time at that same price. I had seen it in the upper $40 range not too long ago, but what you reported- really is a great deal. Odd that this still exists, and the Autobot set from last year is still retail price, but the Skywarp set is long gone and goes for insane prices on the secondary market.

Skywarp was the biggest name out of the 3 sets (maybe Mirage too, but not Holo Mirage) and the only way he was available, so it isn't surprising that his set sold out that quickly and is getting scalped while the others lingered. What is surprising is that they are still lingering and that Amazon hasn't put them at a "make them go away" price yet.

I think $38 for 3 deluxes is pretty darn low . I wanted it last year just for Aragon, and would have been willing to pay close to $30 for him alone, I'm glad I held out, I gave Mirage and Impactor to my son. My collection is quite specialized, but every once in a while its nice to have something different thrown in there.

It didn't sell out that quickly, it just sold out, same with greenlight, unlike these. Everyone who placed their preorder got it and there was enough for everyone once it was released. The only ones who didn't get it (out of those that could in the first place) were those who were waiting for price drops. I was one of those.

Greenlight was a day one purchase for me, mostly because I wanted to complete Orthia (as I imagine would be for most people who wanted it). I do remember it lasting for a little while. I was able to snag the battlemasters from both Amazon sets separately, at quite a reasonable price. If TT Selects is in the business of reissuing past toys, as much as it would pain me, I would think an Orthia Selects release would get a far more positive fan response than the recent Volcanicus and Abominus offerings.

I'd still be paying almost 40 bucks for a head, so it looks like it's gonna be a pass for me, even at that price.

So sad lol I just got the impactor from this set off ebay for $25 (originally $35 but I had a $10 off coupon) and I wouldn't have minded paying the $38 for this set since I dont have a mirage or any weaponizers lol

Sounds like the right price these days, unless you go for the higher end escorts.

Friend to the site Elitabeth-1 has written to let us know of all that Five Below has to offer related to Transformers this holiday season, which make fun stocking stuffers. This is an American discount store chain where almost everything is $5 or less.

In the images sent we see Cyberverse one step toys, the cheaper evergreen styled toys, Botbots exclusives, Cyberverse scouts, Titan Masters and some apparel as well.

My 5-Belows have had this stuff for over a month! Guess I should've said something back when I was stocking up for my 3rd cousins in Illinois.

I remember when those One-Step changers were sorta hard to find.

So I'm double posting this here and in the Kingdom thread in hopes of possibly creating a steal of a deal for many of us. When others found Cyclonus apparently in stock at Gamestop, I took a look myself, but decided to pass and wait for Amazon.

But I happened to notice that Gamestop has the prices wrong and low for most of wave 2. The have the deluxes at $16.99, Voyagers at $24.99 and Leader UM at $44.99.

However this actually is not a great deal because of how Gamestop set up their pre-orders. They are treating each item as a separate "order" as far as how their free shipping at $35 per order goes. They are charging $6 for shipping on each item since they won't let you combine. The only way I've found to get free shipping is to order enough of each individual item to get each item above $35, so 3 Airazors will work, but not 1 each of the 3 deluxes. Basically the great price gets wiped out by the shipping. Anyone interested in Kingdom UM can get him for free shipping since he is above the threshold all on his own.

However, I do have a challenge for everyone that has the wave 2 deluxes or voyagers on pre-order with Amazon. Go to the page for each item on Amazon, and report a lower price and give them the link to Gamestop's page for each item. In enough of us do it, it might make Amazon lower their price to match Gamestop and give us all the better pricing that have pre-ordered on Amazon. You can find the link to report a lower price in the Product Information area, under the feedback heading (scroll down a bit).

I'll be curious to see if this will work before scalpers see the price and wipe Gamestop out of stock.

Here are the links to Gamestop for anyone who wants to try this out. I've already submitted them myself.

I found a walmart that had ER Voyagers on clearance at $17, I don't know what this means for the rest of the line. When I was there they had 3 Hoists, a Starscream, and a Snapdragon. Or maybe it was 3 Snapdragons and a Hoist, I do not recall. I grabbed Screamer for myself. If you live in Georiga it was at 1550 Scenic Hwy N, Snellville, GA 30078, and I'll post this in the Georgia sightings thread as well.

I just cancelled my Pulse orders (I think?) and switched to amazon. Saved $5 on Dinobot, which was worth it.

Not sure about Pulse though, I selected all 3, but I only got a cancellation for Airazor, but the order on the website acts like I cancelled all 3... sooooooooo?

And the Decepticon ones are in full force at Target. I *would* jump on them, but what would I do with the TR ones if I get the sets?

I have the TR ones and have no regrets. Of course I got those sets for other reasons, but the clones were a bonus. This price is basically the same that walgreens charged for their set back in 2017. Amazon probably has a surplus this the reduced price. The Mirage/Impactor/Aragon set is still on sale as well.

At least the Decepticon clones are noticeably different from the titans return versions.

Found MPM Ratchet on sale at my local Target today. I think this is the lowest I’ve seen it go for.

I'm 3 for 5 so far, Airazor just dropped to $16.99 on Amazon. Just waiting for Huffer and Ractonite now.

Ractonite is the only one I pre-ordered. I got Paleotrex for less than $20, so if Ractonite goes down as well that would be awesome.

And now Huffer dropped to $16.99 on Amazon. C'mon Ractonite, you can do it too!

I just tried the price matching with Amazon on Wave 1 Kingdom deluxes with Target’s prices. Target doesn’t have the $3 mark up Hasbro suggested. Was told if they are accepted, it will take up to 72 hours to show on the site. Fingers crossed. Have only been able to pre-order Blackarachnia at the roughly $20 price so, if it works, I can hopefully get the others at the old price point.

Found Blaster on clearance for ~30% off at a Wal*Mart in Broomfield, Colorado.

Well here it is 9 days later and no change. In fact Warpath jumped up two more dollars for a bit before he sold out. At least I tried. You don't accomplish anything unless you try ...

Got my preordered Blackarachnia today. She is fairly small and seems a little too fragile for long-term survivability. But she is a good representation of the character in both modes, especially bot.

Cool, I already had one ordered, but I don't think These have a pre-order price guarantee so I ordered it again and cancelled my first one. Airrazor was up for the same price, but the pre-order button wasn't working and now she's out of stock again.

I love that I found my new pre-order tactic for any regular release from now on. Go with Amazon and report any lower price on the web that can be found. Then pivot and cancel should a better deal come up that Amazon won't match like the Target BOGO sales.

If anyone has an Aldi with any ER deluxes left, it might be worth taking a peek. I was originally going to skip ER Arcee having the T30 version. But I found one in a random bin of leftover Christmas toys at my Aldi with no indication of a price. I brought it up to the register with my groceries, and for $6.75, I let her come home with me.

Yelp, adding another destination to my random trips with the misses.

Amazon has Kingdom Primal down to $23.99 if anyone is interested

I'd definitely take that offer, if only I knew what the Netflix deco is going to look like, or what accessories it is coming with..., oh well...patience...

Thanks for this! I found him at Target last week for regular price and saved my receipt. Of course I cancelled my pre-order on Amazon when I found him, so now I'm back near the end of the line with a new pre-order. But once this comes in I'll just return it to Target for full price.

I had to cancel and reorder mine, unlike all the others, amazon did not honor the price difference, so I cancelled and reordered to be safe. And it's funny, the original order was set to arrive in early march, now it's early February, so I gained time

Look like they price-matched Gamestop, as they currently have Primal available for pre-order at that price. Cyclonus is showing at the same price on Gamestop, but not available. I'm hoping Amazon will price-match anyway, or that Gamestop will get more in, but that is doubtful with Cyclonus being shortpacked 2 to 1 versus Primal.

Edit: They also have the wave 1 deluxes at $18.39, so I've been trying to get Amazon to match those as well.

I wish Megatron would get a price break, but i think he's too popular right now to be going on any sort of sale

I can't even find BW Megatron on Amazon. I type it in manually, There is an overall "Kingdom" search that even has Megatron as the icon, but he himself doesn't come up... I'm sure its there, just my Amazon search isn't too intuitive.

He's unavailable right now, sold out. Glad I got my preorder in on him.
