    Damnit! I am torn.. i can order it now, but don't wanna deal with returning it, if this is an overpriced G1 UM. However, if this is a MP UM, and I miss out I'm gonna be PISSED! hmmmm. BBTS has the shipping weight of MP UM listed as 4.97 lbs.. hmmmm? What to do, what to do!?

    I just called walmart.com. Unfortunately the moron on the other end of the line was incapable of giving me any more info. This is one of those dickheads that uses the word Sir with attitude to mean ASSHOLE!

    First took him a long time to find the ad, then I ask him if he can give me more information, of course he can't. So try to explain to him that the price and description imply that it might be a different product than pictured. To that he has major attitude and replies, "How is the ad impling anything....SIR!?" Then I tell him that the weight, dimensions, and price are not correct to the item pictured. Then dickhead says with a really smart ass attitude, "And how could you know that SIR!?" At this point he's really pissing me off, I say with attitude, "Because I have the item pictured!" He gets quiet for a minute and then starts giving me more shit to which I just said, you're not helping me and hung up.

    Ok, end of rant sorry. I might try to call again tomorrow if the ad is still up, but it doesn't seem like the idiots over there will be able to give us any more info.

    The one on Toynk's site appears to be a G1 reissue and they're asking about $60. It would be very odd if Walmart.com was overpricing it, but who knows.

    i doubt walmarts ultra magnus would be a mp2 now that bbts has a reissue coming soon. more tha likely they got the weight wrong or upped it to charge more for shipping.

    Not having MP UM I checked the next closest thing I have (20th DVD Prime) he's for ages 5+. I then had to check my reissue UM, he's for ages 8+ just like the WM listing but his box is like 6x6x15. If it is the MP UM I'd be all over it but I just don't have a good feeling about this. You guys who ordered it PLEASE let us know ASAP!!!

    Really tempted to try ordering one myself in case it is the Masterpiece Magnus. The question is what's more likely to be wrong on walmart.com, the picture or the other details (weight, etc.)?

    All of the above. Not as bad as Amazon, but they are notorious for mixing up pictures and what not.
