Universe and Animated Voyagers on Clearance at Wal-mart - Page 19 - Cybertron.CA - Canadian Transformers News and Discussion

To the people who keep complaining about the Animated Voyagers not on sale...

You do realize it's a sale right...and in most parts of the country it starts on friday !

I think Quebec started on Wednesday and why they weren't on sale it's weird...it's in the Walmart flyer.

This is barely related to anything, and I would probably look smarter keeping it to myself, but I didn't wanna start a new thread for something so dumb. But yeah, for people lamenting the lack of a ladder on Inferno [I know the toy had one originally BUT], he's modeled after a pumper, not a larger-sized fire engine [despite the rather odd presence of 6 wheels], and as such shouldn't have a ladder. Although he also shouldn't have a strange water cannon, but still. [I don't know why I feel so compelled to state this, but it might have something to do with seeing a truck that looked identical to the toy this morning, and, lo, it lacked a ladder. No one's already, you know, pointed this out already, did they?]

Anyway, that's all! Carry on.

The weirdest thing is that they told me that they are going to receive animated stuff in Universe packaging. Therefore those are the ones at 10$ not the regular voyager ones. Could this be true?

I would be *stunned* to see TFA Voyagers show up in Universe packaging. We've never had even a hint of such a thing (no leaked photos, no rumours, no ebay auctions, nada).

For TFA what's happening with the price scanning is simply, as devilsnight and others point out, that the Wally computers won't show "$10" for TFA Voyagers until 12:00am Friday morning.

Hey, I appreciate the info! I like tying my TFs back to the real world where possible.

Thanks!

They would do price adjustments right? I picked up a TFA voyager fig, considering I couldn't find it at zellers. Figure I'll go in next week and get the difference.

Has it occured to anyone that the TFA's that will be unloaded this friday maybe Atomic Lugnut and Wreckgar? Considering how sudden the Infernos/VP popped up, it could be a possibility.

^ I'm sure a lot of us are hoping that.

I may finally cave and buy a Lugnut [I think I prefer the Atomic one], and certainly get a Wreckgar for that price. We shall see.

I would advise you to buy both! Lugnut is such an amazing toy, I don't know why he warms shelves so.

I just picked one up and I'm surprised with him. Like him way more than I thought

As a toy by itself: He is awesome.

He warms shelves cause when compared in a set he's smaller than Megatron, Starscream and even Lockedown. But in the cartoon he towers over them. (he does look good fighting my Voyager Bulkhead though).

Lugnut's toy rules! I'd pick up a Cybertron Megs at 10 bucks. Definitely keep eyes open for greywave and atomic lugnut, but I have the other versions of the mold so no fuss.
