    And to think I was just reading somewhere that we shouldn't expect to find these figures on clearance...

    My guess is they really overstocked wave one. My WM moves a lot of stock and we've had five cases of wave one come through. Wave two hasn't even shown up anywhere near me except Walgreens and $18-20 isn't tempting in the least.

    My suspicion is that they're trying to blow through an oversized order on wave one and as soon as they sell through from the warehouses, the price will go back up.

    It's entirely possible they just made a deal with Hasbro to get a shit ton of them for a really good price. Walmart is known for that kind of stuff..

    This reminds of the infamous 7.77 rollback back in the day.

    Wm needs to establish an area for you to find walformers most other times. :)

    This isn't a clearance. It's a Walmart "Rollback" which is the equivalent of a sale. There's a difference.

    I wasn't going to get many of these, but I'll bite on Hardhead for $10 if they have him!

    Skullsmasher is great if you pick up a bottle of Pledge Floor Care while you're there. Polish up those ball joints in the thighs and you have a fantastic figure.

    You can add Michigan to the list, but maybe with an *. One store had them price check at $15, another had them ring up for $10 today, but had no signs in the toy aisle at all telling customers they are on Rollback. Not sure if Walmart's system requires manual input for Rollbacks, if so, that could explain the discrepancies among stores in areas.

    You can add California to the list. I picked up a few at the lemon Grove Walmart (near San Diego).

    I'm in West Virginia, and I saw these marked down today at my local Wal-Mart. They had plenty of Wave One, but of course I already bought them over a month ago. Oh, well... Just goes to show that maybe we should all be patient when it comes to first waves of any new line. If you wait, you may just get a bargain.

    I got Hardhead, Blurr, and Skullsmasher at my local Walmart. Albeit Sullsmasher's hip ball joints are veeeery loose. Any suggestions on how to fix?

    Has anyone lucked into a Walmart that has CW figs of the same size class? Wonder if they will ring through at $9.88
