A perfect opportunity for fans who missed out on the Prime: First Editon figures! Mr. Shawn Smith-Ford dropped by to let us know that he spotted First Edition Bumblebee and Arcee at his local TJ Maxx in Lakewood, Colorado, for a whopping $6.99!

May the hunt begin!

Holy sh*t! WHAT? :shock: :shock: :shock:

Of course, CO gets it (as does CA, right?). But over in IL????

Anywho, these would be great to get for repainting! Anyone else thinking this is early Xmas stock? :-? Cause I say these appear everywhere (TJ/Marshalls) by Xmas... but still hoping they get something else, too! :PRAY:

:shock:

If I can't have proper, voyager-sized Insecticons, I WILL hunt until I have 6 FE Starscreams to re-enact "Armada."

:twisted:

I'd say more like leftover stock from the previous season.

Yea - weren't the First Edition figures showing up over 2 holiday seasons ago?

I wonder if we'll see any of the FE Voyagers.

...You know what? That ain't a bad idea.

Notify me when it's done.

Haha... no. You misunderstand: I am wondering if these FE are the TJ Marshaxx Xmas stock! :roll: Every Xmas, TJ Marshaxx gets a haul of some old TF product, right? Is THIS it, or can we expect something else (i.e. BH Prime)? :-?

Wait, wasn't Toys "R" Us the only ones that got the First Edition toys here in the States? :???:

:lol: :BANG_HEAD: :lol:
I hope I'm not the reason you said that. As far as I know, yeah it was a TRU exclusive (shared by BBTS).

"TJ Marshaxx Xmas stock", NOT Xmas stock of any other store, from any other previous year. I am saying this is the NEW TJ MARSHAXX XMAS STOCK FOR 2013. And yes, these are not "new" from 2013, but from a previous release (as someone else stated). OR, these are just randomly showing up with no relation to the upcoming Xmas season AND we will see a different line show up for the 2013 TJ Marshaxx Xmas selection. :???:

Exactly, like the GDO series they were Toys 'R Us exclusives. But liquidator stores buy up old stock for cheap, from any main chain.

Point of order - I'm fairly certain the discounters like T.J Maxx buy product directly from the manufacturers. Liquidators are something different. :-B

That's pretty cool. I got all of the FE figures I wanted, but this is good news for those who don't.

With TRU, Walmart, and now here, that makes three brick-and-mortar sightings.

It is pretty cool to own six FE Starscreams. ;) :mrgreen:

I'm shocked that TJMaxx and Marshalls sells toys let alone Transformers. I stopped at a Marshalls today and saw Tomy Takara stuff (non-TF). I guess I have to hit more of them.

@Metrosuplex - I'm in IL too. West Burbs. I'll let you know if I find anything and where if you are up this way. I hit the Marshalls in Woodridge today but struck out.

I'd love to go for another Starscream, since I'm keeping my first one from Christmas 2012 MISB. But, it'll be a while, as my main focus for the next few months is Generations: Thrilling 30.

I spent about that much on my Voyager Optimus, but I do not regret it because I refused to go after that horrid 2012 rerelease. Paying $60 was the only way I could guarantee that I get the vastly superior 2011 version.

BB was the last mold I needed I was so happy I never broke down and paid internet prices for him. For once patience didn't bite me in the pants. :)

I sold my 2011 version for $60 just so I could makes some bucks and pick up the cheaper 2012 version. The brown sides don't bother me none, as I display him in robot mode only. Who knows, maybe you bought mine. :P
