Didnt Lena have him new in box going for 100$ 6 months ago? I doubt this 20% off will stimulate anyone into getting it. Let me know guys if I am wrong.

I dont think it was loose (some may have been but I remember it in box). And Lena still sells the same transformers as before : http://www.ebay.com/itm/TRANSFORMERS-ALTERNITY-A-04-MITSUOKA-OROCHI-STARSCREAM-WHITE-TAKARA-TOMY-MISB-/231652663789?hash=item35ef9321ed

The only thing is that you wont find more recent releases since the factories have moved to vietnam and they were linked to Chinese factory surplus.

Yeah, but they still had gold megatron back when he was released. And they are still worth keeping an eye out for. They had this the other day for instance: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Takara-Tomy-Transformers-Chronicle-G1-CH-02-Megatron-As-shown-Loose-/231629299402?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item35ee2e9eca

Anyways, it was just to say that it isnt a big sale and that we have seen better deals for it mint from Lena where it seemed 100$ was the trending price through auction.

Tfsource has had Megatron on sale for 160 (with free shipping to boot) for something like 4 months now. I bet BBTS is just trying to match it.

BBTS Weekend sale this time around is the Platinum AOE Dinobots Unleashed set for $79.99.

This is around what I'd paid for it after some HTS discount + coupon wizardry awhile back. Very good deal (almost like going back in time to the $20 Voyager and $10 Deluxe days!) and the decos on these guys are really cool.

Enough of my shilling and crappy personal cellphone pics of them, just don't want y'all to pass up on a great set at a great price :D

This is one of those take it with a large grain of salt and a YMMV warnings.

I've been trolling the discount stores in my hunts recently. Places where old misfit toys go to die (TJ Maxx, Marshalls, Burke Outlet, Ross dress for Less and so on). I've been seeming a lot if AoE deluxes, but today I spotted Gen Brainwave at Ross for $10.99 and Gen Scoop at Burke for $12.99.

Typically these places follow suite with each other, so keep them eyes open.

I already have him, but I forgot to add this was the 2nd batch fixed head version at that.

If there is a pattern going in here: AoE deluxes, this wave of Gen figures; maybe just maybe Arcee and Chromia are in the discount pipeline... You know after they sell all the Rattraps and Tankors that are currently still on shelves at major retailers.

Walmarts in Canada are getting rid of their RID ( :-D ) KREO sets. The Underbite set for instance was 20$ cdn, which is 16$US to those keeping track of how craptastic the canadian dollar has gotten very recently.
