No Rollbacks aren't permanent. They don't have a specific time frame like a sale though, they just last for a while and then disappear (usually a little under a month? but varies). They don't advertise 'Roll-Ups' they just sneak the price back up.

Also, this sale definitely doesn't include movie deluxes, which seems strange given how they just sit there. Maybe the Wal-Mart head office people look at sales figures and still think movie stuff sells the best based on last summer/fall's figures?...

No rollbacks at the McPhillips Walmart in Winnipeg. Still $14.92.

Maybe Niteowl can post up if he hit Polopark......

Didn't I ask about the "Rollback" term earlier on in the game?

Re: Wal-Mart "Rollback" Prices of Transformers Animated and Universe Deluxe Figures

I went to WM at 10 and nothing. Went back at 11:30 (just 'cause) and yup, 6.97 bought 2 sentinel primes, 2 swoops, elite BB, a Slag, a Soundwave, Tankor, Acid Storm and Galvatron . Less than 80 bucks.
