Walmart really needs to figure out its toy distribution. They get exclusives and hold onto them for so long instead of stocking them that they then unload the stock of previous years to a market six retailer (liquidator). Case in point, these crazy findings at Ross that tf fan Marco posted over at the Botposting Facebook group.
The highlighted prices were $8.99 USD for the Walmart exclusive retro Headmasters and $16.99 USD for the Walmart exclusive Sparkless Seeker. Looks like Studio Series Perceptor was found as well. If you have a Ross near you, could be a good time to check it out. Also, looking at this situation, it wouldn't be a surprise if we see Cosmos at Ross for a similar price to these deluxes two years from now.

The second headmaster wave never even hit saturation around me. And I think most of us wanted a replacement Wierdwolf for that issue with his spine cockpit

Absolutely. Hilarious that the zombified jet that was such a pain to get a couple years ago is on sale. Even on walmarts site

As for thsoe retro TR Headmasters, well, looks like some 3rd party retailers will be getting another shipment for those that missed out:

Just wish that joint wasn't so thin at all. If not for that, Wierdwolf was actually our favourite figure.
Anybody know if the retro Skullcruncher has bad legs too? Can't remember if it was widespread on the original TR release or we were just really unlucky, but ours has super floppy hip and knee joints on both legs

That's the point, all these toys we see at Ross never made it to shelves. Instead, they remained in a walmart warehouse and were only dumped to a wholesaler when they had to make space for the 2023 reset.
It was widespread on the original release and it was fixed on the new one.

Unlike others, the reissues did hit my area, but it was the issues with the Decepticon Headmasters from TR that made me skip them, mostly related to the softer rubbery plastic:
- Weirdwolf's cockpit hinge breaking from constant stress
- Mindwipe's wings deteriorating and breaking off
- Skullcruncher's wonky legs, cockpit panel and now the teeth making the mouth jam up
Prices are a steal, so I'm tempted despite that. Any sightings of Sparkless' wave mate Primal?

Meh, the only G1 Headmaster that I would buy is Mindwipe. H3ll, he would probably replace my TR Mindwipe which is more of a placeholder on my Lord Zarak faction's shelf anyway.

My goodness. And to think they never made it to shelves in my neck of the woods and were going for scalper prices.
Lucky those scalpers who can restock at $8 and sell it for more than $50 to those who have no access to a Ross outlet now.

Did YOU have a hankerin' for Legacy Titan Metroplex, but you didn't think it was worth nearly $200? Check out this weekend sale at BigBadToyStore, and you could pick him up for just $99!
https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Product/ ... ils/203020
Like him or not, this is a 'steal of a deal'! It says 'weekend sale', which means it could end Feb. 26 (or sooner) and you may only have a couple of days to avail yourself of this bargain price! Move swiftly, mortals!

Dang....makes the $117 I paid through Target discount stacking look like a ripoff my comparison.

That is a great deal. If the Ab Crunch on him wasn't the worst thing ever, rendering him nearly unposeable I'd say go for it.

Don't feel too bad. With the addition of the $4 shipping cost and the sales tax, my total came out to $111, almost $112 when you round up the change. Not too far below your $117 total.o.supreme wrote:Dang....makes the $117 I paid through Target discount stacking look like a ripoff my comparison.

Not sure how much of a "steal" this is, but Pulse is having another Wraehouse sale (time to clear out the old junk!)
https://hasbropulse.com/collections/warehouse-sale-2023
Basically for the next 2 weeks (or until items sell out) Premium members can save 35%, and non Premium members 30% (with minimum purchase of $75 to qualify either way) on select items.
Unfortunately there's only one TF item I might consider purchasing, but its nowhere near the $75 threshold, and I'm not purchasing extra items unnecessarily just to get it.
I'm guessing other items may be added as time goes on. I noticed Cybertron Metroplex is still in stock at full price (despite being on sale at half off on eBay recently) I'd be very surprised if that wasnt added in the coming days.
Current list specifically of Transformers:

When Hasbro had their big surprise Power Days sale in 2022 we thought it would be a rare occasion to clear out stock. How wrong we were! The sale is back, now rebranded as the Warehouse sale. This year the savings aren't quite as good as the 40% off sale in 2022, but you'll still save a pretty large chunk off the retail price. With a $75+ purchase Premium members can save 35% off with code WAREHOUSE35 and everyone else can save 30% with code WAREHOUSE30 at checkout. And there are some good buys to be had including on recently released figures like the last batch of Shattered Glass figures, Studio Series the Fallen, Legacy Evolution Leo Prime and MPM Blackout! And of course this isn't just a Transformers sale, it's Pulse wide. The sale ends Sunday, March 19, but things are already selling out so get in there while you can!
Thanks to Seibertronian o.supreme for posting this in our Energon Pub Forums. If you get anything good from the sale head on over there yourself and let us know what you found!

I got Armada Starscream and SS86 Junkheap, as well as SS86 Arcee. I had been on the fence about Arcee, but to get her for mid-2010's deluxe price makes it worthwhile.
These three will be 396-98th Transformers in my collection. I am planning on getting Yukikaze soon, and then probably Retro "Pink" Hot Rod, who will be my 400th Transformer. Exciting!

I can't seem to use the promo code on two products marked as "Warehouse Sale", maybe I'm not understanding how this works.
Edit: Oh I'm a goofy goose, somehow I missed the "must be 75$+" part of the blurb.

I preordered a bunch of exclusive stuff that we'll never get in Canada along with the discounted stuff. The discount outweighed the shipping slightly and now I'll have all the rest of this year's exclusives shipping free from Pulse.

Was worh it for me.
The only way is to buy a lot to soak up that shipping cost.
So, what did you bought?

I didn't know it worked on pre-orders.
I'll take a second look.
.....
No transformers pre-orders work with the sale.
So you must have ordered something else.

I didn't say it worked on preorders, I said that preorders count as part of your order so it's an opportunity to pre-order everything now and only pay shipping once.

Ah.
Still, that must have been quite the order to make it worth it. And the odds are higher if you have interests in Star Wars, Marvel, and others.
I only care about Transformers on Pulse so my options are quite limited.

Curious thing. I've gone through most of what they have listed, and I just can't find anything that I want, which I don't already have. So as nice as these deals are, I'm having trouble deciding if I can avail myself of them.

I tough many months ago that I had a good deal in finding that GI Joe Classified Baroness with her red bike for 80$can at a fleamarket.
Then, surprise surprise, she's later back in stock at Toys R Us for 60$can.
And now, she's on clearance at 38$can.
I could have bought another one... or 9. But why should I? Buying for buying's sake is a waste of money.
So, yeah. I understand the sentiment wholeheartedly.

That's why I have stopped with a lot of preorders and buy in stock. I gauge if I should buy by if the preorder sells out and how quickly it sells out. The Marvel Legends I got were figures I wanted but knew would go on sale for instance, same with Lio Convoy.
Last year really burned me with sales on things i bought, sometimes within a week. I am done with preorders after that

What's your assessment for those new animated spiderman 2 packs, you think they'll drill be in stock by next year's sale?

I think most will. now it is spider man, so there is a good chance I'm wrong on this one, but given these will be 2-packs that are more pricey, I think there will be ones left over for future sales

I think Doc Ock is going to be in demand due to the bendable arms but that's it. I see a lot of people dumping the core figure on eBay. I have to admit I'm kinda pissed that they held this release back, had I known I would've passed on the Silk/Ock two-pack for this.

Same here. Though they are different versions. Unlike other characters, Doc Ock was different from his comic version with that armor and more heroic proportions. This is a new mold rather than a redeco and the key to all in demand exclusives is whether or not it completes a set, and this does.
