Stopped by my local TRU last night.

They still had the tag up saying Universe Voyagers were 50% off, but they were all gone.

HOWEVER, they had a NEW deal: Ultra Powerglide for 50% off! I already have him, but now I'm wondering if they'll mark down some other older figures. They've got some Darkwinds that have been sitting there for a while.

And they'll sit there for a long, long time. Several TRU's that I've recently been to still have Movie 1 Mudflap hanging out. Darkwind is not going anywhere.

I hope Countdown sits around long enough to receive a similar sale. Nice looking fig, but doesn't really seem worth the $30 price tag.

I am going to go tomorrow and see if anything is left.

Walked into my local TRU and found that an employee put the 50% off tag under the TF2 voyagers as well. But only in the action figure aisle, not where the huge transformers ROTF section is right now. So I was able to get a mixmaster for $11.51 and after using the ten dollar gift card I only paid $1.51! I wouldve grabbed more but the only other voyagers they had were megatron, but I purchased him a few weeks back

The sale ends saturday. It says it in little letters on the tag. It also works with ROTF voyagers you just have to argue a little. Make sure there are ROTF toys near the tag though. Otherwise it wont work. I didnt get to exploit this since there were no voyagers i wanted but my friend got Ironhide for $11. I got Leader Magnus for $6. Used my $10 card and my $5 reward thing. Id say thats a win.

I went to my local TRU today. I was only interested in the Universe toys, although their Animated selection was much better.

For Universe they were down to Tread Bolt and Powerglide. While Powerglide is "pretty fly for a white guy", I opted for Tread Bolt instead. I'm debating whether to put him with my normal Universe or with my Shatterd Glass. Thoughts?

Get 2, he looks good in either line

Seconded.

At my local TRU, there are probably more Countdowns than total number of available movie figures...*slight exaggeration.

What I love about this figure is his versatility - you can change his look in so many ways - helmet on or off, wings, up or down or out, backpack or or off..you can even leave the plane nose down or not (all in robot mode)

And that blue face is just beyond cool.

I almost missed out on this sale. I saw it online this morning and raced over to TRU to see if anything was left. I picked up the last Leader Ultra Magnus for $20. What a deal!

I absolutely love him, but I was never going to shell out $40+. Great bot mode and surprisingly good Alt mode. I love the hidden guns and sound effects.

"Don't try to be a leader Optimus, it's not in your programming." -Magnus

Classic!

I balked at first, but I love some of the animated figures. I have Magnus, Prowl and Jazz now. They are terrific figures. Much better than some of the ROTF Decepticons with the hideous heads. Shockwave with the G1 coloring, Rodimus and Arcee are on my wish list.

I'm returning some of my unopened ROTF figures tomorrow. Mixmaster, Ravage and Mudflap. I'm going to save my money for some of the HA figures coming out.
