The second Jurassic Park set is like $67 and change on Amazon right now. There are some deals on their exclusives and older stock too.

Maybe "origin Jazz" will wind up there too. That's another one that was supposed to have been in Target, but never seems to have shown up...

Really? I'm surprised, I thought he was readily available, at least for a time, like Towline and the NEST guys.

Also, people on social media are correcting us about an assumption that these exclusives are not coming from the retailers but from Hasbro themselves. I'm wondering if that's just a technical correction or more.
Because an exclusive means that all units produced are sold to an exclusive retailer, nationally. So all orders are accounted for, everything's been bought. If, as they say, Hasbro is the one sending these exclusives to Ross, is it simply that Walmart/Target don't have space for all that they already ordered and thus are asking Hasbro to not ship them the rest of the order and just dump it on their behalf? Or is it product that was not ordered by Walmart afterall and Hasbro is themselves recuperating costs by dumping it for retailers?
The later doesnt make much sense to me since Hasbro could just sell their product online as they have in the past (either on e-bay or pulse).

Just wanted to know if people had more info on this, since i do want to get the news right.

That target sale was perfect, I preordered MPM Bonecrusher and got 6 Troopbuilder sets.

At my Ross this morning

Legacy Sandstorm and many Legacy Nightprowlers

Those BotBots vehicles are pretty neat, it's a shame that the distribution on that line was such a mess

Target.com has the Studio Series 100 Bumblebee for $19.99. It looks like it's limited to 1 per purchase or maybe there is just 1 left total?

Pretty sure you're correct. The only reason these would be coming from Hasbro is if the stores sent them back, which doesn't sound right since retailers are more than capable to getting rid of their own unsold stock. If it was stock that the stores didn't take then Hasbro would just sell them on Pulse like they already do. The only thing that looks to be coming from Hasbro is the Shattered Glass figures. But that doesn't mean everything is coming from Hasbro, this is just when they're getting all their Holiday stock into stores at once.

I'd be happier if the wheels rolled better. They barely turn at all.

Nova Prime is 30% off ($38.49) for Prime members on Amazon right now.

Walmart has the Beast Wars Deluxe Cheetor Vintage Reissue for $9.97.

Ollie's email today mentions Transformers and Hasbro as being part of their, "Toy Closeout Headquarters" and have purchased, "Over 1500 Truckloads".

I have an Ollie's near me but haven't been in a while. Has anyone noticed any good deals?

Mine still has a boatload of Rhinox from Kingdom

I took advantage of the Target 25% off sale to get a second troop builder yesterday morning. Opened it in the afternoon, and discovered the Seeker and the Autotrooper were missing. Was able to return the pack, but I haven't gotten the discount back.

Target has Transformers on sale at 15% off regular price. If you haven't used your 25% off one toy and $5 off a toy purchase, then this may be the time to use them. I bought the Troop Builder 4 Pack for less than $50 total with tax.

I saw this and am tempted to do the same…

Did the same and had a promo $10 GC with it as well. $36.28 shipped.
Unless i get another deal, i will stop with this one; set #5.

Yeah, I went for it.
Between two promos, and having a Red Card, it was only $43.61 after tax.
