UPDATE:
Thanks to everyone for the confirmation, ALL Revenge of the Fallen Deluxe toys at Wal-Mart are on sale.

It's all deluxes. The Wal-mart I went to today had an end cap of previews but in the aisles there was one or two wave 1 deluxes that rang in at 9.94.

I feel obliged to buy some figures from TRU despite the higher prices, seeing as how if they didn't exist, there would be no competition and no reason for Walmart to do a rollback, and then we'd all be stuck paying even higher prices! :-o

There is one advantages of paying $2 more per RoTF Deluxe @ TRU: you can buy a few extra and use them to exchange for later waves :p because all RoTF Deluxes @ TRU share the same internal SKU. You can't do that @ Walmart because they use the exact barcode which is different even among the same class.

good job, Walmart!
talking about response and reaction to fight back TRU's discount.

we are still waiting for you, Zellers~ can you do the same ?

Hmm, I got Soundwave just last week at Wallyworld. I wonder if I can just bring in my receipt and see if they'll adjust the price. :confused:

If not, I'll just buy a new Soundwave and return it with my older receipt, if they don't want to play fair. :mad:

Either way, I'm getting my $6 back. :D

Well you could alternatively;
1) Buy a bunch of Wave1 Deluxes from Walmart @ $9.xx
2) Save them until TRU gets Wave2
3) Buy Wave2 from TRU @ $15.xx
4) Return the older Wave1 from Walmart to TRU :D

Worst case you have 90 days to return them to Walmart ;)

$6 x 7 price adjust... wohoo :)

Universe Dlxs and Ultras back to $14.92 & $34.92 :eek:

Now... Holding TRU purchases for the next wave didn't work too well last time but it shouldn't be more than 45 days til wave 2 Rotf is out right?

YMMV... some TRU customer service folks are pretty easy with exchange within the same SKU and some don't even check the receipt.

Refund is entirely a different matter, though.

Proper Cobra Commander Transfer Procedures (CCTP) would mean I should return the TRU ones re buy at Walmart and wait to buy wave 2 and exchange at TRU ;) ... But I'd feel bad about keeping Inscriptor :o

you know I'd like to think you'd save more gas than you would've saved money if you didn't do that. lol.

the price is so tempting, but the only wave one deluxe that i really like is Sideswipe.
i hate sideways's bot mode, especially his legs
i think breakaway looks silly
don't need a fifth BB
already have soundwave
and i'm still undecided on Rampage.

That is sad news. Well atleast their Voyagers are cheaper than everywhere else. $28 I believe. I'm not too sure when TRU/Wal-Mart Canada will have a Voyager/Leader sale.. I don't know if I can wait that long to pick up either Prime or Megatron.

I'm just hoping this year's Costco exclusive is a bomb.
