    148E62F0-5FAD-4AED-9F93-1B3089F30CE7.jpeg I stumbled across this at Walmart in a Fort Wayne, IN. It was hanging in the toy section under the Transformers. Just like it says, get $5.00 off when you buy $24.88 in Transformers products and a pack of batteries. The coupon is one you just rip off.

    $24.88 worth of transformers products seems an odd amount to require? why not add the extra 22 cents and make it $25? maybe its aimed at selling those electronic Bumblebee figures.

    Because when something has an MSRP of 24.99 Walmart usually charges a few cents less. Thats why they've claimed to have the lowest prices for the last 30 years.

    It's like their thing.

    I DO need batteries.

    I will NOT buy at Walmart.

    The TF selection is pretty lousy in my area. The more popular store, with the best toy selection, got stocked just before the holidays, in mid-November. They've literally NOT re-stocked since then. Unless we count some of the cheap, kiddy junk, which Walmart always buys a boatload of. :rolleyes2 

    I'd be happier if Walmart planned to stock more G1 Devastator's or Starscream's with this promo (that would make sense), but this is a bad way of clearing SS Crowbar's. :rolleyes2  Which won't work. This promo blows.

    I read that as "this coupon is just a rip off." :lol

    I know how Walmart's pricing works , still that really doesn't explain the odd amount of purchase the coupon requires.
