G1 Soundwave and his Cassettes Have Started to Hit Clearance

I find this odd. Any time Soundwave or the cassettes showed up at my local Walmart, they wouldn't last a week. I guess there were gluts in other parts of the country.

william-james88 wrote: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.

My area did get a pretty good supply in eventually, but they did all sell out

The cassettes were 20?!? My local Walmart just recently stocked them for 600MXN, which translate to ~30!

This is most likely due to Astrotrain starting to hit shelves, which was just reported elsewhere. Brace yourselves: it's 50 bucks too! I can't wait for the arguements over its value to ensue.

Glad I read this before leaving the house tonight. Managed to snag all three for these prices. Got the last Soundwave, he'll be going on the shelf (next to the TRU double chest version), but the tapes are staying on the cards since I already have all of these a few times over.

In other words, they should start showing up on ebay soon.

Ohio / Michigan nerds, Meijer has the Botbots Arcade Renegades packs on sale for $12. I grabbed the last #6 at the nearest store, but a more enterprising reseller could still get a full set across a couple packs and unload the extras for a profit.

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.

I saw soundwave and the cassettes on discount too. Kinda figured they would eventually. Passed on them though

Amazon Prime Siege Exclusives on sale:

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.

Thanks to a heads up from Seibertronian o. supreme, we have word that Amazon.com is running some pretty good figures up for discounted prices, among which are several of the Amazon exclusive figure sets.

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!

FYI - The cheapest Galactic Man Shockwave option for $27 also has $9 for shipping since it is from a 3rd party seller. Still the cheapest option I've seen yet.

Siege has been amazing... But that does not extend to Mirage IMHO

This is awesome. $50 is still more than I want to pay for the group, but it certainly does make the Impactor/Mirage set more appealing.

And... done! I've just ordered them.

Thanks for the heads up!

Picked up an Impactor. Wasn't going to get him at full price since I have the 3-pack version. Had considered getting him while he was $15 on Amazon, but for $13.50 he was an instant buy. Now just waiting for the last Deluxe wave to drop in price. I'm really surprised Barricade has been selling so well, I was sure he was going to be a shelf warmer but he's selling out on Amazon and I rarely see him in stores. Guess I'll be paying full price for him.

My son says its the best out of the whole lot.

This may interest some; the Cyberverse Alpha Trion is $14.95 on Walmart.com. It's a rollback price for a pretty neat figure. Here's the link:

Here is a small deal that I didn't realize I got. I recently picked up Gnaw at Walmart for $12. 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 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.

Now if only Soundblaster's price would come down, which by the way is currently $28.87

I'm glad to see they stopped trying to get $40 for him.

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.

Thanks to a heads up from Seibertronian carytheone, we have news that the 35th anniversary voyager class Megatron figure is now on sale at Walmart.com for $20.99!

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!

Original Siege Megatron was priced at 14.99 at Target. Also got Siege Spinister for 10 dollars.

carytheone wrote:Seems kind of crazy as all my WMs are over flowing with the 35th anny figures.

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.

Emerje

My 2 local Walmarts have a couple of the 35th Anniversary figs at full price, tons of Bluestreaks at one (they'll go on Clearance before long), and G1 Vintage Soundwave at full price. But here's the kicker: they're in process of a seasonal reset, and there's space reserved for that Soundwave! I won't see them go Clearance for a good while...

I've never seen any of these in store. Grabbed 1

Got him Thanks!

Gah! I just jumped on KSI sentry from Amazon for $22 earlier this week. Now to figure out whether trying to play the Amazon return game is worth it to save the extra $8.

Yep, it is.

Definitely CONGRATS! I was a stay-at-home Dad when I first joined Seibertron. It helped me get through a lot of it to be honest. Some days it was my only adult contact. (If you consider talking about toys adult. )

Stay-at-home parent is no easy task indeed! Whether you're a Father or a Mother. Good luck to you Caelus! You have certainly earned that Redwing.

Thanks guys I can honestly say that this is the happiest I've ever been in life. It's far more rewarding than grad school.

I remember a lot of folks saying they couldn’t find this at retail. Well, it’s cheap on Hasbros eBay page.

You’re describing my last two years almost exactly wow. What a ride. Tip of the hat to all the stay-at-homes and thanks to all of you for being there.

Thanks to a few of our own Seibertronians, particularly carytheone, for pointing out some massive discounts available right now on Walmart.com! Some of these price drops are in excess of 50% off and cover a wide range of releases. Keep in mind you can also get free shipping to the store on any order and free shipping to home on orders over $35. If you're planning on building a Studio Series Devastator this could be a good way to save some money.

Also, what do you think of this becoming a monthly or bi-weekly feature covering multiple stores? I'd really appreciate some feedback in the comments.

Conceptually I like the idea, but unfortunately prices and availability fluctuate too quickly to be realistic.

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.

A quick look on Amazon right now and it looks like they are price-matching some of the Walmart price-drops.
