I haven't seen anyone mention it yet, so I figured I'd spread the word. Target has been discounting their Transformers section, particularly Predacons Rising and Constructbots, but everything has seen a few dollars knocked off. PR voyagers were $10, along with a the deluxes at the same price. I saw Voyager Shockwave at $13, and I think the Generations Voyagers were $17. Constructbots scouts are $6, and the ones of Wheeljack's size (which I can't recall the name of) are $10.

And since Abominus was $13, I finally went ahead and snagged one. I can't argue with it at that price, even if the combined mode leaves something to be desired.

Happy hunting, all! :grin:

Dark Steel is $9.98 at my Target.

What I do find interesting is that not every Target has the same discount. The Target by my work has some BH discounted to just under $9.00 while the one by my house has the exact same ones discounted to just under $6.00. I've seen Cyberverse Commanders going for $5.00 also.

Yeah, that seems to be a bit of a thing with Targets, huh? It was much the same a month or two ago when people were snapping up BH Beast Fire Predaking for $10-25 and the Optimus Prime/Megatron Constructbots 2-pack for $7-15.

It's all dependent on the area. BH Voyagers were 13.98 in NJ (were my folks are), and 17.98 in New York City. Even stores in same area have different markdowns. The Abominus set in the Bronx was discounted to 12.48; in Manhattan, it was 17.48. And the stores are basically 1.5 miles away. Go figure. (See what I did there?)

Riverdale, Bronx Terminal and Manhattan Targets are all out of BH Darksteel. Dunno about Brooklyn and thereabouts.

Ehh that's fine I'm done collecting Prime anyway, but $10 for a on screen character seems like a good deal. I'm sure the free repolabel give away got all of these brought up pretty quickly

After finding nada at the NYC Targets, I called my folks, who kindly found a few Darksteels at their Target in NJ - for the express purpose of using them with the Reprolabels set. My labels are in the mail.

A helpful link about Target clearances

I'm hoping they clearance those Kre-Os soon, given they aren't going to carry the line from AoE on. My Target's full of the first wave of Combiners and the 4th wave of the Micro-Changers, would love to grab some custom fodder for cheap.

After reading these posts, I went to check on my local target in Canada. And the price for a deluxe beast hunter transformer is.... drum roll... 16.99

16.99!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ridiculous (its about 15$ american). Especially when both the local Walmart and Toysrus has all deluxe beast hunters figures at 5.00$

And the voyager class figures are all 29.99

so no deals in Montreal Targets
