He's been shelf-sitting for a while now. I'm considering getting one for myself. I'd like an A-train with a classic train mode.

All of the walmarts in my area have him discounted to $25, according to brickseek. And they got soundwave down to $13.

In store.

went to my local Walmart store and they had Astrotrain on clearance for $25
At $25 its a great price or close to retail if it was the 80s
and love these reissues so much, I enjoy seeing them on store shelves, its like being a kid in the 80s
Not to mention my Walmart recently had 80s reissued Ghostbusters and reissued Star Wars figures
I think its super cool

whats odd, since April, new in box Astrotrain prices on Ebay have averaged $30 shipped
And was able to get one for about $27shipped but my box had a razor blade cut on one side
So, if you guys cant find him on clearance in the store, I would check Ebay and maybe get him for around $25 or less

walmarts have begun to clearance these guys for $25 as of my post.

Ok thanks. I was hoping Soundwave would be on clearance by now, and was hoping for the cassettes to be available. Guess I'll keep looking/waiting.

Smaller Walmarts actually seem to have better stock of the reissues for whatever reason, at least in my experience.
I love the packaging, it's what all reissues should have. Vintage packaging. But I have all of these toys (minus Astrotrain) several times over already.

There are like 6 of these atmy closest wm for 40 bucks….pass…until its like 20 or 25…

I gave up trying to find cassettes, went ebay route and paid extra shipping.
RKillian
Still $50 and no cassettes for months.
Tribefan77
How much do they have them priced at, and are there any packs of the cassettes?

My Northwest Indiana Walmart had at least five Astrotrains on the shelf when I was in there last week.
RKillian
No sign of him here yet. We're sitting on Soundwaves if anybody's interested.
Canbot
I finally found one locally three weeks ago. Nothing else since. Still going to hang onto the receipt, you never know.
