In quite possibly the biggest retail blunder in recent memory, the Target exclusive Transformers Animated figures, Purple Shockwave with Activators Bumblebee and Sunstorm with Activators Ratchet have had their price change again.

We reported on Saturday that the figures were on a sale or clearance at $4.99 and hordes of collectors rushed out and purchased countless amounts of these figures, both for their own collections and for members overseas. And, of course, some to scalp on eBay.

Reports have come in today that Target has changed the price to $22.99, which many speculate was the original intended sale price, and that the $4.99 was an error. A very costly error obviously. The new sale price is a whopping $2 off the original price of $24.99. The original sale was to last through Saturday, April 11th. Was this a massive liquidation-esq move on Target to clear shelf space, or was it a serious blunder on Target's behalf?

Who knows! Feel free to speculate, discuss, and offer advice to those who still wish to get these figures at their original $4.99 pricing from the weekend in our discussion thread by hitting "Discuss".
