Even if you think something might not be newsworthy, send it to us. The worse that will happen is that it wont be newsed, but the best scenario is that we all learn something cool and you get a credit

Is this any different? Someone mentioned this in the Texas Transformers board on TFW the other day and I mentioned Amazon.

Toys'R'Us has the Rescue Bots Firestation Base for $20.00 off! A great price if your kids are into Rescue Bots!

After, man, well, a long time I guess, I felt like I just had to log in and post a comment on my favorite TF news site.

This last Christmas/holiday season saw what I feel was an unprecedented volume of high ticketed items on clearance prices. I've been collecting TF's for almost all my life, I literally still own my first Optimus Prime, and I can't remember a time when anything like this happened - all the box sets going to Ross's and Marshall's and TJ Maxx's. It really blew my mind.

I live in Northern California and these stores are pretty rare. We only have a few of them. But persistence really paid off. I just kept checking the few stores I can get to over and over again, and I scored almost all the items that broke the news here. It was like the toy hunts of yore when we would wait for the hunters moon and the smell of fresh energon in the air...but I digress....

It all started with that Computron dangit....I never found him and he's now my Loch Ness Monster of TF bargain items...

This isn't to brag but it really blew my mind: I found Superion and Menasor for my best friend's son for Christmas, an extra Superion for me which I didn't really want, but then fell in love with, two Fortress Maximus's (never thought I'd see the day, ever) one for my buddy and one for me, a Sky Lynx, a Sky Warp (always my favorite Seeker) and then lastly, after coming up short at 3 Ross's I found four of those year of the monkey Optimus Primals at one store.

Just amazing.

Thank you Seibertron community, thank you so much. I have to give nods to the other TF sites that broke this news too like Allspark and TFormers. I love all those sites but Seibertron is my favorite. Come on, by far, we all know it's awesome. This made for one of the most incredibly TF collecting years of my life. And I'm now going to keep everyone here posted if I find anything new.

Thanks again everyone! Keep the hunts alive!

I'm dialed back in and will keep the community posted of any Nor Cal finds for sure.

Happy hunting everyone!

Seibertronian AzT has let us know that Combiner Wars Computron has finally dropped below $50! Hasbro Toy Shop has listed Computron for $49.99 and he is currently in-stock as of this time. You can find Computron HERE! Go and get him guys: he is half off, and he is available for free shipping!

Aaaaaaaaand.........didn't even get through the checkout process before he was sold out. Oh well. At least I already have one. I just wanted a second one for replacements just in case.

Most Platinums are on mad sales at Amazon.com!

Americans and Canadians who don't have these molds, NOW is the time to strike!

Howdy lady and gent bots. Looking for some cheap RID Mini-cons? Silly question, who isn't!

Well if you have a fiVe BEL°W in your neighborhood you might be able to score some Mini-cons for $3 each





Kind of a random assortment.

Hopefully this is where all those weapon minicons went. Glad to look for things at 5 below after it's been stale for a couple of years.
