Ooh, Soundblaster is down to 22.50, very tempting.

Thanks!

My wife just got him for me as "a present for making it through 6 months of stay at home fatherhood".

Congrats on making it 6 months, that is no easy task.

Gah! I just jumped on KSI sentry from Amazon for $22 earlier this week. Now to figure out whether trying to play the Amazon return game is worth it to save the extra $8.

Yep, it is.

Definitely CONGRATS! I was a stay-at-home Dad when I first joined Seibertron. It helped me get through a lot of it to be honest. Some days it was my only adult contact. (If you consider talking about toys adult. )

Stay-at-home parent is no easy task indeed! Whether you're a Father or a Mother. Good luck to you Caelus! You have certainly earned that Redwing.

Yep, plus wifey will gladly make the return for me, she wants that 25% off Kohls coupon they give you when you return at the Amazon kiosk inside Kohls. Win-win!

Thanks guys I can honestly say that this is the happiest I've ever been in life. It's far more rewarding than grad school.

I remember a lot of folks saying they couldn’t find this at retail. Well, it’s cheap on Hasbros eBay page.

You’re describing my last two years almost exactly wow. What a ride. Tip of the hat to all the stay-at-homes and thanks to all of you for being there.

Thanks to a few of our own Seibertronians, particularly carytheone, for pointing out some massive discounts available right now on Walmart.com! Some of these price drops are in excess of 50% off and cover a wide range of releases. Keep in mind you can also get free shipping to the store on any order and free shipping to home on orders over $35. If you're planning on building a Studio Series Devastator this could be a good way to save some money.

If you find any good sales online while hunting for deals be sure to share them in the Energon Pub forums below. Alternatively if you happen to come across anything particularly good in stores then be sure to send us a photo!

Also, what do you think of this becoming a monthly or bi-weekly feature covering multiple stores? I'd really appreciate some feedback in the comments.

Conceptually I like the idea, but unfortunately prices and availability fluctuate too quickly to be realistic.

I feel the current way of newsing "strike while it's hot" works well to get the word out. Those do a great job of pointing users to this thread.

A quick look on Amazon right now and it looks like they are price-matching some of the Walmart price-drops.

Any chance these deals are up in brick and mortar stores or is it online only? Forgive me if thats an ignorant question

Perfectly fine question, but online only unless you can get a price match.

I got that KSI Boss deal last night with the Cyberverse clobber figure. Looking forward to Boss. Was gonna pass on him cause I have the first 2 uses of the mold, but for $13 couldn't pass it up

I know that feeling.



I ordered from Amazon when it was $22. Now I'm waiting on one from Walmart for $13.87 which I'll be returning to Amazon once it arrives.

I'm planning to run some head experiments when he arrives too. Might be worth swapping some heads if i find one that works with one of the bodies properly

Awesome, I've been needing Long Haul. I'll probably never get Rampage since we're supposed to be getting Skipjack.

TR die cast Thunderwing is a winner on TLK Nitro Zeus and TR Overboard is an almost perfect color match for SS Thunderwing.

Yeah they do look good. Thundercracker is keeping his head, but Zeus or Boss might be doing a swap. Thunderwing is in Zeus' cockpit right now

That's my head swap of choice.

100% agree about the Thunderwing. Overboard I hadn't considered though, might have to take a look.
