    Each Walmart does it different. Some Walmarts move it back to the stockroom and then send it somwhere else instead of clearancing them.

    Even though my WM has marked them down to 40, this bothers me. They're still not moving so I am afraid they will pull them and send them somewhere else!

    I waited for the one Skywarp at my Walmart got became clearanced. I took the bait at 48 bucks. Another Walmart about 45 minutes away has more than 15 of them and still wasn't clearanced, and another one a half hour away actually had more tonight than they had a week ago and still at the 60 dollar tag.

    They are still here for $60...as soon as they hit $30, I'm buying one for a gift.

    My walmart that put them on clearence cleared the few out in just a matter of days. Remember the walmarts with more skywarps in stock have a better chance of a clearance then the one with 1-2.

    We have 2 wal-marts in Fargo: one has 16 and one has 20. They are all still $60 dollars. :( 


    waiting until it gets to $30, and I will pick one up.

    Easily 30 or so in my area, all sitting at 60 bucks. 3 stores and none of them are budging yet.

    Huge pile at $20 a week ago, then they were gone last time I was in there.

    Pissed, but my roommate and I learned that we'll wait when the next Hasbro MP comes out.

    My Wal-Mart puts them in the clearance aisle, yet doesn't lower the price.

    What a tease...

    That's exactly what I did. :)  Had to wait until I could find one in decent shape. A lot of them had imperfections, scratches, or didn't look right. The one I bought for $60 was pristine. I found another finally in good shape, and proceed with returning one, buying the other. Got $35 back and some change. He looks bad-ass. I wonder why he isn't selling well?

    My Walmart actually has the Skywarp figures all the way across the other side of the store away from the toys.... which makes no sense, I recently bought it a week ago when I saw it for $30, then yesterday saw it for $20 and I was like WTF, so I took it back, and found one with a better box and got lil over $10 back.... so if you haven't opened yours and you just now noticed it went down to $20 take it back and get a new one

    Ya.....these Skywarps will steadily go down....as far as what my local WM Manager says. And most of the time they are cheaper than what the tag reveals! SCAN AWAY!

    One of the Wal-Mart stores around the Dallas area has Masterpiece Skywarp currently marked down to $20 on clearance. It was $30 last week. I expect prices might go down even more as none of them have been purchased. They number up to 12, but there may be as many as 15. Very few sold over the Christmas holidays.

    Now, I see they have him marked down to $10. This is crazy. I bought five LOL I doubt they will go any lower than this, but if they do, I'll post. Pics coming soon.

    What a shame - this is a nice figure. In some ways, it's an improvement over the Hasbro Masterpiece Starscream from a couple of years back.

    Darn it, I have three Walmarts in the area, and not a SINGLE one of them has Skywarp, on clearance or otherwise. In fact, I only saw Legends Devastator once and thankfully I swooped that up. Seems like they are terrible at pricier exclusives.
