Great news to anyone who held off, the Walmart exclusive reissue of Soundwave has been priced for clearanced at some Walmarts. The sighting below comes from our friend Ironhidensh who is in Indiana. Clearance is at the store level and not nation wide so it could be that your Walmart keeps the same price or is already sold out of Soundwave. The clearance price here is $30. The cassette packs are also being clearanced. Their price is $11. That's 40-45% off the original prices.
If you find them at those prices in your area, please let other fans know in our boards right here.

The reduced Frenzy/Laserbeak pack torments me.

Works in Illinois and Indiana too. If anyone wants to try this route for a complete set and number 6 isn't there, you will want to pair up sets 1 and 2, or 3 and 4.

Fan-Vote 3-Pack $50
Autobot Alphastrike $35
Greenlight & the Decepticon Phantomstrike set are nowhere to be found on Amazon....better get these while you can if interested.
There are a few other assorted Siege figures with pretty good discounts if you search Transformers Siege

Thanks for this, I'm keeping my eye on Galactic Man Shockwave. I passed at full price, but if he drops low enough I mike bite.
I find it amusing that so many 3rd party sellers are tying to sell the Generations Selects line that Amazon themselves aren't carrying. Pretty much all of them would run you more than ordering from Pulse (assuming you can get free shipping), except for Galactic Man, he's at about $35 shipped from the lowest option.
Still not low enough for me to bite, but getting close.

Up first, we have the Fan Vote 3-pack, which was originally priced at $69.99. The figure set is exclusive to Amazon, and is now priced at $50.41, a nearly 30% savings from the original price. The set contains the Holo-Mirage, Decepticon Impactor (with IDW head), and powerdasher Aragon.
Up next, we have the Autobot Alphastrike Counterforce, which was originally $49.99. This Amazon exclusive is also discounted, down to $35.35, an approximately 30% savings.
And finally, under the generic Siege search, we have several discounted figures, which include an Impactor for $13.50, a $15 Sixgun, and $27 Galactic Man Shockwave, among others.
check out the deals, and let us know if you spot any more great deals or if you pick up any of these figures below!

I used the WM app to scan it before heading to checkout, but I just assumed that was the normal price for this line/size class. Seems it's normally $15. YMMV, but it's a cool figure[/url] and worth checking out.
Funny you mention this. I stopped at a Walmart the other morning and found a Gnaw in the clearance section for $5.84. I'm not sure if it was supposed to be on clearance though. The card was ripped open and had been taped shut by Customer Service but it was complete and mint so I went for it. I'm just not sure if it was marked down due to being opened or just on regular clearance in that store. YMMV...

More than likely it was a return. In which case they're just put back on the shelves, the price depending on the condition of the packaging. Seen a SS Dropkick helicopter and Jetfire not tied down in their boxes, obviously returns, but still sold at full price.

Well a skeezy 3rd party seller is trying to get $50. Seems kind of crazy as all my WMs are over flowing with the 35th anny figures.TF-fan kev777 wrote:I'm glad to see they stopped trying to get $40 for him.carytheone wrote:Now if only Soundblaster's price would come down, which by the way is currently $28.87

The 35th anniversary Megatron is a redeco of his original Siege toy, keeping his tank mode and overall appearance while swapping out his battle damage look for a cell-shaded cartoon appearance. Megatron shared this color scheme with his arch enemy, Optimus Prime, while the other 2 figures from the 35th anniversary figure were repaints that were new characters, Soundblaster and Bluestreak.
Megatron was originally available for $29.99 in Walmart stores, while his online price varied based on location of ordering. Walmart has now lowered the price online to $20.99, which is about a 30% discount. This will most likely only help you with an online order, since Walmarts have moved away from price matching their own online store.
Check out the deal, and let us know if you pick up this special Megatron below!

That's really something, none of the Walmarts around me got a single 35th figure. Heck, they barely have any Transformers period right now. Today all I saw at one store was what looked like a case of Siege Deluxe wave 4, a SS Leader Megatron, two Cyberverse Ultimate Grimlocks and a Megatron, and a pile of those cheap Titan Guardian figures that nobody ever buys, that's it. Only Transformers I saw on clearance was Soundwave and the tapes, not sure where everything else vanished to after Christmas.

I feel the current way of newsing "strike while it's hot" works well to get the word out. Those do a great job of pointing users to this thread.
