If you missed some of the Black Friday sales, you’re in luck. According to this week’s ad, Walmart has rolled back the price of Star Wars and G.I. Joe action figures to $6. Transformers Revenge of the Fallen Fast Action Battlers and deluxe toys have also been marked down to $8. The sale runs until December 12th.

The Wal-mart exclusive Transformers Masterpiece Skywarp has begun to hit stores across the U.S. While out and about today, I found about 15 of them at my local Wal-mart in Madison, WI. As you can see from the picture, Skywarp is priced at $60.

My local Wal-mart also had the Wal-mart exclusive Blowpipe vs. Sideways set for $27. This set is a total rip off considering you can get two deluxes for $20. Not to mention, the Sideways in this set is no different than the one that has been on the pegs for months.
The sixth wave of Transformers ROTF deluxe toys have begun to to hit stores in the U.S. IronhidePrime of the TFW2005 boards, found multiple cases of this wave at a Wal-mart store in Gurnee, IL. The wave includes Gears (ugly repaint of Stockade from the 2007 movie) and Thrust (repaint of Breakaway with a new head).

The Leader class Jetfire from the new Transformers Revenge of the Fallen movie has begun to show up at stores across the U.S. Along with an isolated report of him showing up at a Target in Louisiana, there have been numerous sightings at Wal-mart and Toys R Us stores in California.

While doing my rounds this morning, I came across the new Transformers ROTF ”Battle Charged” Ultimate Bumblebee at a Walmart in Madison, WI. While it looks a lot like the toy from the first Transformers movie, it has been slightly remolded and has been given a flip down battle mask. It also features some new audio clips, including Stan Bush’s The Touch. Before you run out and buy one, I should also point out that the price has been increased to a whopping $98.88.

If you can’t wait until Saturday to get your hands on the new Transformers Revenge of the Fallen toys, you’re in luck. Toys R Us will be holding a special preview event on Friday, May 29th. Beginning at 9pm, Transformer fans will be able to pick up the latest ROTF toys at participating Toys R Us stores.

Not to be outdone, Wal-mart has also moved up their release to 5pm on Friday, May 29th. All stores should have gotten the memo from corporate about this change but some seem to be sticking to the original release date of May 30th.

Update: Wal-mart has moved their release up to tonight at midnight. Happy hunting!

The fourth wave of Star Wars Transformers toys have begun to to hit stores in the U.S. jimmynguyen41 of the TFW2005 boards, found the Kit Fisto/Jedi Starfighter and the Battle Droid/Trade Federation Tank (AAT) at a Wal-mart store in Washington State.

While most Transformers Revenge of the Fallen toys have a street date of May 30th, this hasn’t stopped some stores from putting them out early. There have been a number of reports of people finding everything from Legends and Bumper Battlers to Voyager and Leader class toys at Fred Meyer stores along the northwest coast of the US.

Otispq of the TFW2005 boards also found the first wave of ROTF deluxes at a Wal-mart in American Forks, Utah. Unlike other folks who found these toys, the computer did not prevent him from buying them.

While out looking for the latest wave of Transformers Animated deluxes (which I found), I came across the new Wal-mart exclusive Star Wars comic two packs. This wave includes Lt. Janek “Tank” Sunber/Amanin Warrior (Empire), Nrin Vakil/Ibtisam (X-Wing Rogue Squadron) and Keoulkeech/Machook/Kettch (Marvel). All three sets were priced at $12.99.

With the holidays behind them, Target has raised the price on a number of Transformer toys. While out doing my rounds, I noticed that the price of Animated deluxes and Bumper Battlers had been increased to $10.99. The price of Voyager, Ultra and Leader class toys had also been raised to $21.99, $27.99 and $44.99, respectively. The price of Universe deluxes remain at $7.79, but its probably only a matter of time before they too go up in price.
And then there is Wal-mart… While they typically have the best price on toys, the retailer has decided to stick it to Transformer fans by charging a whopping $12.88 for Animated and Universe deluxes. So much for Walmart being the “low price leader.”
Update: Target has now raised the price of its deluxe class figures to $11.99. While not advertised widely, Universe deluxes are on sale for $7.79 until February 9th.
