Hi all,
Don't know if this is for all Wal Marts, but I bought mine for only $20.00 CDN at Wal Mart in Vancouver, BC! I went to the one in New Westminster.
The price tag was $29.97 (already a great bargain), but "doot" and the price came to be $20 only!
Hurry up and get yours! Alternator Transformers are $29 CDN each at Walmart, but it's the same blue Smokescreen and red Sideswipe still.
Happy shopping!

Holy crap, this is an impressive toy! 18" tall and super tough plastic! Tight joints too (some are detented as well!) and highly poseable. Came with 15 twist ties to undo, but after 10 minutes of untwist-tying, it was well worth it.
See pics:

Nice! I have one also and if the rest of you guys are looking for a sturdy, super poseable figure, this one is the one to get. They're on sale here in the US for $9.98 at Target.
The thing is so poseable that I had him standing on one leg in drunken fist style. Just awesome.

I have him, too. Got him at full price when the movie came out. Great toy! The QC is a little iffy (one of my friends went through 3 before he found one that wasn't painted poorly and all joints worked on), but when you find a good one, it's worth it. I do find, though, that after posing him a few too many times, he becomes a bit floppy, especially around the legs. I guess mine is just a little too well-loved... ^^;

Its an awesome toy, but you kind of get what you pay for. The toy is great with tight ratchet joints out of the box. But the joints wears out very soon after doing some posing, mainly due to the enormous size & weight of it, while they didn't use premium plastic for the joints and ratchet. It will still hold poses well, just the tightness won't last very long.
But for the price, size, and articulation, its a great buy!

Dang you guys! I just bought 2 from E-Bay. One from the first Spidey and the other from Spidey 2. I don't think there are any major differences though...now begins the agonizing wait...(sigh) On a similar note, anyone got the new Medicom Spider-Man? oh RMC?? I know you must have one! ![;)](http://lemonstre.fr/robot-japan/smileys/wink.png)

Yep I got a Medicom Spidey and I'm pretty happy with him.
He's as articulated as most Medicom RAH figures, the costume fits well and the body is shaped so it looks appropriately muscular. Comes with 2 pairs of hands - a pair of plain fists and one web shooting hand and another in with fingers out-stretched.
I've not got the 67 point Spidey so I can't compare, I suspect it's more poseable, certainly in the hands. However I really like the RAH approach of a proper costume - in my opinion it looks a little better.
I think there were some pictures on TBDX a while back, if I can get the time I'll try and take some this weekend.

Yeah, I agree with Russ, I like the Medicom one for what it is. And plus it's limited! Too bad they can't make the mask removable. heheh. I'd love to see pics R!

I saw the 67 pt articulation Spidey at walmart over the weekend and it is a very impresive toy. I was going to buy it for my 2 year old but his attention went elsewhere so I didnt get it. Considered buying it for myself but it would clash big time with my robot collection. Don't want the wife to get on my case on another line of collection. Don't want to push it either since I just convinced her that my Binaltechs are flukes that sold at walmart by mistake. LOL! ;D

I actually met with the prototypers that designed this toy. I took a tour of their facility last week and saw mockups of the jointed hands. Super cool! They are 20 minutes away from Philly and have been around for 30 years...they worked on the original SW die-cast ships.
The Super7 crew was at a toy show in Japan last week and saw that Medicom Spidermand for $400! Wow! I keep debating if I should pick the one off of ebay , but I do not have the $.

$400 !? Wow, I paid retail at HLJ for mine. Don't know that I'd be happier paying any more. Almost wish I'd got two now. ![:)](http://lemonstre.fr/robot-japan/smileys/smiley.png) I see HLJ have already stopped the preorders of the Venom and Wolverine RAHs they have listed, after only a day.
