Title: Terminator 1:18 on sale for $5 at Walmart
Post by: Raptor on September 03, 2009, 05:06:24 PM
As the title says, the 1:18 terminator figures are down to $5. The larger figures are still the same price.

I looked, but they just aren't cool enough to do at $5. If they Star Trek figures are any indicator, they will go down to $3 next. I might pick up a few then but they just aren't quite good enough to rate $5.

It's about time.

The line is so flawed it's no surprise it hasn't moved regardless of how the movie did.

The eyes on a great deal of the figures were misapplied, due to rights they couldn't show the face on the John figures..

The sooner we are rid of them the better.

I have nothing productive to add, just re-iterating what others have said....

....why on earth did this take so long.  These figures have been sitting untouched for months now!!!  Even at 5$ I have to stop and think twice about it and can't seem to bring myself to buy any.

I like the movie but the toys are terrible, they couldn't even manage a decent army builder. If they'd done a nice job I would have bought a few of the basic Terminators. Maybe at $5 I will consider it but probably not. Thanks for the heads up though, it's about time they went down.

Yeah, with cool toys like G.I. Joe going on sale from time to time, my shelf space is limited so craptacular figures like the Terminator line aren't worth the shelf space, even if they were $2.00 a figure.

Then again, I might pick up a couple at $2.00 like I did the Hulk figures and throw them in the gift closet.
