    Swindle is awsome, smae with blurr, ratchet is ok, but worth it, samurai prowl is pretty cool ,much better then regular prowl, and smokescreen...ehhh, pass...

    Its not nationwide. A local Wal-Mart on Long Island did it about two months ago while the others around it didn't. Still hard to justify paying 12 n' change there after seeing em for near half that price not too long ago.

    Tell me about it....Ratchet and Hot shot alone rang up to about $27.00+ with tax. I couldn't belive I spent that much on 2 deluxe figures.

    But yeah.....Wal-Mart sales is rarely ever a nation wide thing. So it might not be feasible to run out to quickly to all the nearest Wallls

    This is a Target comp ad that Wal-Mart is running. If there is a Target nearby that the store comps, then they should be running deluxes for $7.88, but it's only a week long sale, just like Target's is.

    Awesome, hope it hits nearby. I just have to pick up Swindle and I'm done with Animated (deluxe-wise) for good. I still have to get Skywarp and Wreck-Gar. I also have to pick up Activator Fireblast Grimlock if he comes out.

    I hope Universe will get that price, I need a Ratchet.

    If it means anything, my local Super Walmart in Casselberry Florida had the $7.88 sale and the shelf was loaded with figures.

    Blazing Lockdown
    Regular Bumble Bee
    Elite Guard Bumble Bee
    Blur
    Swindle
    Soundwave
    Ratchet
    Swoop
    Snarl
    Sentinal Prime
    Waspinator
    Samurai Prowl

    They also had Lugnut and the Leader Class Bulkhead but I don't know if they were on sale.

    I hope this helps.

    one was still $12.88 while the other was the $7.88 price. I was only looking for Samurai Prowl but seems I'm out of luck so far.

    The local Canadian Wal-Mart is selling Animated and Universe figures for around $8.50 U.S. with taxes. I think I saw a Samurai Prowl there...

    Odd thing, this sale.
    My local Wal-Mart still has Deluxes at $12.44 (they were $12.88... what a savings.), but the Erie PA store (one of four, actually.) that I went to, had all Deluxes at $8.00

    So I picked up a Blazing Lockdown, and finally made my Ratchet complete with EMP, gave my original Lockdown his claw AND chainsaw, and have a useless BL body MIP to sit in the corner and do nothing. Yay.

    Could mod him someday, I guess. Or cannibalize it for parts in case my original ever goes kaput.
