Actually, the picture makes it look like an Action Master, as his arms 'look' movable.

Reasons for wanting it are:
- it looks like a nice sculpt
- being associated with a contest, people think it's a free prize
- of all the toys associated with the Bayformers movie, Valvotron looks the nicest (least Bayformer aesthetic)

No, and you're not alone.
Somehow, somewhere it was stated (or we misunderstood) that Valvotron could be won in a contest. Probably weren't the company's words.

Turns out the free contest and Valvotron are 2 separate deals. Part of the same 'Promotion', but not the same contest.

It totally is. I got confirmation of them shipping my toy to me yesterday. So I returned the oil to Walmart this morning.

How much did you pay for the oil because at the Walmart here it was $47.97 ?

I pais 27 dollars, like this pic shows:



But what does it matter how much it costs if you simply return it after even before you have to pay your credit card?

I think you may have price check the 5.0L:

4.73L is sufficient.

Ha, but it doesnt say anywhere you cant return what you purchased. And all they ask if for a receipt scan which I promptly gave. There is no fraud here, nothing illegal. I am not encouraging everyone to do this, I am just showing the options available if you guys want this toy for free.

Also, I won a bobble head today and I wonder of what character it is.
