BTW, Hobby Lobby always has 40% off coupons off the front page of their website.

I plan to check out one more on Saturday and another, if I have to, on Monday.

I called around to a few of the local HLs. Was able to find Soundwave and Bumblebee hangers at the store in Laurel, Maryland. Also have another store holding the PM Prime until I can get there tomorrow. Remember to use that coupon, too. 40% off until 9/3.

EDIT*
Ok, might have to rethink that. Apparently the closest Hobby Lobby to me is 7 hours away. Cool

Interesting that 2 are vintage package art, but since casual and/or younger fans wouldn't know what to make of G1 Bee with a plate-mouth, instead we get...is that Dreamwave artwork, or IDW?
Soundwave's tempting; if only there were magnets of the cassettes...

IDW, if it were Dreamwave he'd be all knees and feet.
I'd be happy with any of these box art signs, but I'd pass on that Bee.

The product selection and distribution for these Hobby Lobby things is so strange and random, there could be a Wrecker one for all we know!

While several of these TF signs have been spotted at various Hobby Lobby stores across the country, (even by yours truly) few, if any, have been seen listed on their website. You were mostly limited to the luck of the draw with Hobby Lobby distribution and occasionally, rarely, spotting one. So take this opportunity to snag one if you want!
Hobby lobby is also running a 50% off sale off all metal signs and decorations, making this deal even sweeter! Check out the products' listings on the Hobby Lobby website here.

Or if you're setting up a Transformers themed 'man cave'

Why is the price so low on that, you may well ask? The answer ties into our second piece of news - it appears that Hobby Lobby is currently running some form of sale on a couple of their Transformers-themed items. Both this sign, and an also-available metal sign featuring six iconic characters (Optimus, Bumblebee, Grimlock, Megatron, Starscream and Soundwave), are reduced to 50% of their usual price - that's why the usually-$35 wooden sign is down to a little over 17 dollars. The sale is described as "Select Group of Home Accents Always 50% off the Marked Price*" (there's no matching asterisk elsewhere on the page) so it's a little unclear when or if the sale will end, or even whether the same applies in actual stores.
Check out the sighting image below as well as images of the two currently-on-sale items from Hobby Lobby's website! If you were looking for more Transformers-themed items from them, the website is also still stocking the embossed tin Optimus Prime and Bumblebee signs, previously reported on here, and which can be found with a search for "Transformers" on their website. Share your thoughts below in the Energon Pub, and as always, stay tuned to Seibertron.com for any Transformers news, collectable or otherwise!

The item isn’t actually on sale and the price isn’t low.
“Always 50% off” means exactly that. The product is never actually sold at “full” price. It’s a scheme Hobby Lobby has been doing for years and been taken to court over more than once. It tricks the consumer into thinking they’re getting a sweet deal. A very dishonest business model.

Also, does it bug anyone else that the closeup of Prime’s left arm has a little dashed line leading to his right arm on the full body illustration? I can’t unsee it, gah.

Well, dang. Interesting to know! It's definitely hard to tell what they mean from the site alone; I guess their meaning is that obtuse on purpose after all.
