Title: Transformers Leader Class figs drop in price at Wal*mart
Post by: Bandalero on October 28, 2008, 02:29:11 PM

Hey guys, dont know if there are lots of TF fans here, but Cybertron.ca is reporting that Wal*Mart has dropped the price from $49.92 to $39.92!!  Better time than any to pick up Megatron and Bulkhead - hopefully Ultra Magnus will come out at this price too!

Picked up Megs a while back at the $49 price tag. Well worth it - fantastic figure.

Not interested in Bulkhead, even at $39. Ultra Magnus, however would be hella cool.

I can vouch for all three - very worth it.  I went back to the Wal*mart to see if they will price adjust my bulkhead but they didn't get the rollback in their system yet so I'll try again at the end of the week.  If you've got your receipts it's worth a shot.

Picked up Ultra Magnus today. Kickass toy!

Oh yeah he is - by far my favourite TFA - 3 light colours (red logo, green eyes, yellow thruster cannon thingies).  If there was a Toy of the Year award somewhere I think Ultra Magnus would be a huge candidate.

I pick up the occasional transformer (Classics - Alternators, etc.), are there any sites with images of these?

Thanks for the link - they do look great, however I am not sold on the large chin the animated figures tend to have.
Megatron however has avoided the large chin problem.

I can't find the link for it, but the large chin was also covered in a funny Shortpacked comic. - kind of pointless to mention as I can't find the link, however I am hoping someone else knows what I am talking about.
