Cool! I'll have to see if there is anything else I need.

Awesome... just installed that coupon activator so I can print them out. Thanks! Just what I need... to spend more money on Transformers after Botcon. You would think after spending hundreds of dollars on Transformers after one weekend you would back off right? Nope! I guess you can say I really am a plastic crack addict. :KREMZEEK:

That was me that sent in the news. I'm glad I could push the US economy along a tad bit by making it easier for some to let go of their hard earned money. I would not even noticed the coupons if it were not for my wife's addiction to couponing.

I was thinking the same thing.

I just got back from Target, and there's a sale on TF3 movie figures.

Leaders are on sale for $39.99 (from $44.99)
Voyagers are on sale for $17.99 (from $19.99)
Deluxes are $10.99 (from $11.99)
and Cyberverse Playsets are $12.99 (from $14.99 I think)

I didn't see sale prices for the HAs and HA Basics, so expect $29.99 and $9.99 respectively. I also did not see sales for Cyberverse Legends or other TF figures.

So, now these figures are on sale AND you get to use the coupons. Happy hunting!

Thanks for the info+links+coupons.

Hopefully I find a DOTM Leader sized Ironhide at Target before the $10 off coupon expires on july,16,2011.

I thought that was just for canadian TRU stores last week.

I didn't know it was for USA TRU stores last week too.

Also I heard it was a in-store sale only & not a on-line sale too.

Thanks for the heads-up. I thought the $35.99 price I got for Sentinel Prime at Toys R Us on Wednesday (20% off coupon for rewards members) was the best price I'd find. Now I can save a few more bucks to plow into other Transformers.

I went to TRU and picked up a couple leaders using the BOGO with the intent to exchange one for Ironhide when it is stocked...and the other to take back to Target with a full price $45 receipt. That $10 off on top of the sale price would be the bomb, though, if I had any hope they'd get Ironhide in before the sale ends.

Yeah it was on the Ad and it was both in-store and online.
Only worked for deluxe voyager & leader classes though.
I posted a copy of my reciept under DOTM haul thread.

And I submitted the news but it never got posted :-?

Hit Target in Gaithersburg, MD today. A sign was posted in the Transformers aisle noting sale prices for ALL of the size classes, based on regular price rather than names. The sale is valid from June 12 to July 30 according to the sign. (Yes, JULY 30, not June 30.) Human Alliance Basic, normally $9.99, are on sale for $8.99, for instance. But out of the three sizes I scanned at the price checker--Leader, HA Basic, and Voyager--only the Leader came up with the correct sale price. So I told the guy at the register and he adjusted the price according to what I saw on the sign.

I also printed the codes from computers at two entirely different locations (work and home) to see if they were unique to your IP address or if they could be used more than once. The codes remained the same so there is no reason you can't use these coupons as many times as you want, especially if you pay in cash where there's no way to track your use.

Deathy, you don't have to wait. Just use the coupon to buy a Leader Bumblebee or Sentinel Prime. You have 90 days to return it. When Ironhide shows up, buy it, then use the Ironhide receipt to return the Leader Bumblebee or whatever. At Target they're all under the same code so it doesn't matter. You can confirm this by looking at the DPCI number (087-06-2294) at Target.com.

I got Sentinel Prime for 30 dollars. I figured there wouldn't be any left come clearance time in a year.

I may go back and get voyager Optimus with my other coupon.

I went to Target last night and can verify these prices. I used two of the $3 off coupons to pick up the Target exclusive Ratchet and Starscream voyagers. I also used the $10 one to pick up the Sentinel leader. I thought long and hard on the Bumblebee but in the end passed. The fact there were 9 of them may have had something to do with that ... (read: possible shelfwarmer).

I also tried printing out a couple more of each coupon for potential future use. Either the print limit has been hit or the site has a way to monitor (and limit) the number of times a computer can print them. I'm going to ask my wife to see if she can print them out at work. Curious to see what others are experiencing ...

I have been to two more Targets. Now they are marking specific items with prices. However, they are not pricing the Voyagers at $17.99. They are pricing the Robo Power Bots at $17.99. The same inconsistency can be found on their website. The only Voyager priced at $17.99 is Ratchet, which isn't available in the stores around me yet.

As for the coupons, don't worry about printing them again. Just photocopy them. That's what I did once I saw you couldn't print more than once from a given IP address. The code never changes so you can photocopy and use it as many times as you want, as long as you do it in separate transactions. (You can use the Voyager coupon and Leader coupon in the same transaction--I tested this to be sure--but you can't use two Voyager or two Leader coupons in one transaction even if you buy two toys, judging by the fine print on the coupon.)

You are correct, I had to tell the cashier when I picked up Voyager Ironhide that the sale tag was $17.99. She went to confirm with a coworker and changed the price for me. Today, I went to pick up the exclusive Voyager Starscream. It rang up on sale at $17.99 without an issue, but the system would not allow use of the $3 off Voyager figures. The coupon is specific in saying Transformers MV3 Cybertech Voyager toy figure - and Starscream (and Ratchet) are not part of this. I still picked Screamer up anyways, I like the repainted red they use for the cockpit and internal gears, as well as the darker grey for the body.

Unfortunately, did not see a Leader Ironhide... next time, Gadget!
