    Those actually are the clearance prices. And likely they'll continue to go down as inventory thins out. I just picked one up for $35 at my closest Wally, and they hadn't marked them down yet on the display. I'm keeping mine boxed with the receipt since I have 90 days to return. Then, I'll just wind up returning and buying back when it goes lower. They can certainly tell me no to a price match, but nothing stopping a person from returning and repurchasing inventory.

    If these hit around $20, I will probably buy way too many of them...one to keep in my car, one in the bathroom...

    Thanks a bunch. I was going to run around and check to see if any of the Wal-Marts in my area had him cheaper than $35. It's $35 everywhere.

    Looks like these are all shipping from Taiwan, so they must be pulling these directly from the factory. It could still be weeks before they filter through the distribution lines and make it to store shelves. :(

    I hope Hasbro can catch on the fact that Prime\'s slow sales is due to the fact that releasing a partial version at a complete version premium price point is what has made sales stagnate.

    As I have learned over time, Hasbro will not learn anything because it is a Wal-Mart Exclusive picked up from TRU - the entire line is sold to Wal-Mart - what they do with it or for sales after concerns Hasbro not - which pisses off many of the fans that want stuff to buy.

    They also disappointed many of us by passing on the other half of the dino cassettes at SDCC this year so nothing to spend money on now...

    With all these NEW and great looking transformers coming out. I'm dang near feeling that you need to mortgage your house and your body just to get a loan to buy these. That optimus G1 figure is at 35$ for my store currently. I'd consider that in the price range. I still think it needs to come down alittle more though. So for me to have to give a purchase on g1 optimus w/o trailer it needs to be at the $20 to $24. So that is my max for this g1 optimus with no trailer to be in my collection.

    Guys, how accurate is brickseek in terms of local stock? Because they’re showing two Devastors about 30 minutes away in kind of a bad neighborhood. I’m willing to do it if it’s actually there. But I have my doubts.

    Not very reliable. Especially if there is only a couple remaining. Usually it's due to lost or stolen merchandise still showing in the system.

    Looks like ID (UK) are out of Soundwave for preorder at the moment. Managed to order the 2 tape sets though. I hope they use better glue on them than they did with Bumblebee - lots of the packages wound up open.

    You can call the store and have them check if it’s actually there - if so, they can also put it on hold for you.

    Good luck. Getting someone on the phone who even knows what a Transformer is and the difference between the different lines and characters is the problem. Sometimes even talking to the associates, in person, and showing them the actual listing on the app, they still don't know what you're talking about.

    It'd probably be easier to just bust out a PKE Meter upon arrival at a local Wal-Mart. :cool:

    I guess YMMV - this is how I got G1 Devastator, Bumblebee, and several others at various Walmarts in the LA area.

    Kapow and ID (UK) now have both Soundy and tapes back for preorder - estimated shipping time late July / early August.
