Went to 3 Walmarts near me today, 0-3 on finding any wave 2 Netflix and 0-3 on seeing any clearance.

Also that pic has to be from Canada right? They don't sell Battlemasters at Walmarts in the US.

Yup, it's a pic I took yesterday. I posted it in the earthrise thread in response to he arcee discussion we were having.

I went to three walmarts as well. Hoping to find an Allicon at these prices. I struck out as well. All that was left was Airwave and 1 of the three walmarts did not have discounts.

There's a displaced Cliffjumper sitting on the Voyagers there, I put him back where he belongs after the photo.

Only because they just restocked a bunch of the larger figures, there's hardly anything Deluxe class (aside from fresh stock of wave 4 Cyberverse). And then there's those Titan Guardians on the right, if they just cut those down to two pegs they could have two pegs free for Battle Masters and Micromasters. But no, gotta keep making space for the same figures they've been selling for seven years. Can't tell if it's the same, worse or better than when they stuck those eye sores in a shelf display and stopped selling all Leader class figures last year.

From my perspective you have the walmart G1 exusive readily available along with the walmart exclusive Netflix voyagers plus wave 4 of the cyberverse deluxes (which I don't have) so it's not half bad. Pretty sure many would be jealous if you posted this on a US facebook group.

Skywarp was the biggest name out of the 3 sets (maybe Mirage too, but not Holo Mirage) and the only way he was available, so it isn't surprising that his set sold out that quickly and is getting scalped while the others lingered. What is surprising is that they are still lingering and that Amazon hasn't put them at a "make them go away" price yet.

I think $38 for 3 deluxes is pretty darn low . I wanted it last year just for Aragon, and would have been willing to pay close to $30 for him alone, I'm glad I held out, I gave Mirage and Impactor to my son. My collection is quite specialized, but every once in a while its nice to have something different thrown in there.

It didn't sell out that quickly, it just sold out, same with greenlight, unlike these. Everyone who placed their preorder got it and there was enough for everyone once it was released. The only ones who didn't get it (out of those that could in the first place) were those who were waiting for price drops. I was one of those.

But I happened to notice that Gamestop has the prices wrong and low for most of wave 2. The have the deluxes at $16.99, Voyagers at $24.99 and Leader UM at $44.99.
However this actually is not a great deal because of how Gamestop set up their pre-orders. They are treating each item as a separate "order" as far as how their free shipping at $35 per order goes. They are charging $6 for shipping on each item since they won't let you combine. The only way I've found to get free shipping is to order enough of each individual item to get each item above $35, so 3 Airazors will work, but not 1 each of the 3 deluxes. Basically the great price gets wiped out by the shipping. Anyone interested in Kingdom UM can get him for free shipping since he is above the threshold all on his own.
However, I do have a challenge for everyone that has the wave 2 deluxes or voyagers on pre-order with Amazon. Go to the page for each item on Amazon, and report a lower price and give them the link to Gamestop's page for each item. In enough of us do it, it might make Amazon lower their price to match Gamestop and give us all the better pricing that have pre-ordered on Amazon. You can find the link to report a lower price in the Product Information area, under the feedback heading (scroll down a bit).
I'll be curious to see if this will work before scalpers see the price and wipe Gamestop out of stock.
Here are the links to Gamestop for anyone who wants to try this out. I've already submitted them myself.

I just cancelled my Pulse orders (I think?) and switched to amazon. Saved $5 on Dinobot, which was worth it.
Not sure about Pulse though, I selected all 3, but I only got a cancellation for Airazor, but the order on the website acts like I cancelled all 3... sooooooooo?

And the Decepticon ones are in full force at Target. I *would* jump on them, but what would I do with the TR ones if I get the sets?

At least the Decepticon clones are noticeably different from the titans return versions.

Was told if they are accepted, it will take up to 72 hours to show on the site. Fingers crossed. Have only been able to pre-order Blackarachnia at the roughly $20 price so, if it works, I can hopefully get the others at the old price point.
Well here it is 9 days later and no change. In fact Warpath jumped up two more dollars for a bit before he sold out. At least I tried. You don't accomplish anything unless you try ...
Got my preordered Blackarachnia today. She is fairly small and seems a little too fragile for long-term survivability. But she is a good representation of the character in both modes, especially bot.

Cool, I already had one ordered, but I don't think These have a pre-order price guarantee so I ordered it again and cancelled my first one. Airrazor was up for the same price, but the pre-order button wasn't working and now she's out of stock again.

I love that I found my new pre-order tactic for any regular release from now on. Go with Amazon and report any lower price on the web that can be found. Then pivot and cancel should a better deal come up that Amazon won't match like the Target BOGO sales.

Thanks for this! I found him at Target last week for regular price and saved my receipt. Of course I cancelled my pre-order on Amazon when I found him, so now I'm back near the end of the line with a new pre-order. But once this comes in I'll just return it to Target for full price.

I had to cancel and reorder mine, unlike all the others, amazon did not honor the price difference, so I cancelled and reordered to be safe. And it's funny, the original order was set to arrive in early march, now it's early February, so I gained time

Look like they price-matched Gamestop, as they currently have Primal available for pre-order at that price. Cyclonus is showing at the same price on Gamestop, but not available. I'm hoping Amazon will price-match anyway, or that Gamestop will get more in, but that is doubtful with Cyclonus being shortpacked 2 to 1 versus Primal.
Edit: They also have the wave 1 deluxes at $18.39, so I've been trying to get Amazon to match those as well.

He's unavailable right now, sold out. Glad I got my preorder in on him.
