heads-up--
If you have Target Circle,
there's a $10 off of $60 in-store purchase promotional offer.
It's not a crazy good deal, but it's something!

FYI - Those will vary from person to person and not everyone may get one. Mine is $15 off $90, for reference.

Looks like they've split mine into four parcels...grumbles, which would be fine if it wasnt being delivered by Yodel.*

*four parcels might be an understatement as I just got three parcels and only one of them had two items in it. Surely it takes one person to think we are gonna need a bigger box hahahah SG starscrems box a bit squished despite him being the only thing in the parcel and SG megatrons looks kinda yellow before its seen any kind of light.

Hasbro pulse added more SG jetfire on the final day but resistance was strong (as was lack of cash) as well as Baynus Devy at £150 after the 40% off but its sometimes available around £160 on ebay from hasbro when ebay does discount codes.

Oh some of my boxes were beat up and would not work for a MIB collector. It didn't happen during method though, the damage occured at the warehouse or before.

Gamestop's Deal of the Day today is the Hasbro Transformers Jurassic Park Mash-Up Tyrannocon Rex at $63.00 with free shipping. Here's the link:

Deep Discount is living up to its name with Masterpiece prices!

Skyfire $214.63
Yukikaze $116.68

Ordered both. Even after canceling my BBTS Jetfire and losing my deposit I'll still save $30 or so over their price. Free shipping, too.

Fellow Seibertonian Emerje brought up something prety cool on our boards. The website Deep Discount also has the latest Takara Masterpiece figures on preorder at prices that are pretty hard to beat. For instance, MP Jetfire is $214 while the latest Trainbot to make MP Raiden is only $116.
We just wanted tolet you know in case you were intersted in some deals.

Would have posted that myself, but I only slept two hours and it took three tries just to write that much. Thanks for the assist.

Nearly 25% off an unreleased preorder? That's a little too good to be true isn't it? And reviews I've seen for the site are mostly negative. https://www.sitejabber.com/reviews/deepdiscount.com

Hopefully it works out, but I'm sticking with tfsource.

I could literally take all those complaints and replace Deep Discount with Walmart or Target who have canceled more than a dozen of my pre-orders over the past two years, it's just a chance we take when we place a pre-order anywhere, especially now as we're still working through pandemic related delays and shortages.

Does deep discount charge in advance?

Yes they charge as soon as you order. I can understand why some people have had issues. I personally never have, although I've only pre ordered Blu Ray and DVD a couple months in advance with DD. Import toys are more likely to cancel if sufficient stock cannot be obtained.

Guys I dunno how reliable this site is. May not be good to advertise it here.

I went ahead and bit the bullet. I pre-ordered from deepdiscount Skyfire. It's been many years but had pre-ordered a monsterarts godzilla figure and had no issues. Buying Preoders from Japan and paying up front is no big deal. Just use a credit card not PayPal. If things go south you do a charge back since the bank looks at when the item is released not actual date of charge. Also found a 10% coupon online 'plunge' without quotes. If doesn't pan out can do a charge back and should be readily available from others on release. Should follow this post at time of release to see what the experience was next year.

Actually, I used google and checked their site, they don't charge until the pre-order ships. I really hope that's true as I PO both and that's a massive hit to a credit card at once.

Also, I've used Deep Discount before. The only problem I had with them is that they're slow to update their site. I ordered a bunch of stuff on sale only to get an email after placing the order that several of the items were canceled because they were out of stock. Apparently, that happens a lot with them.

I'm sticking with retailers I know. With no pre-order charges. Speaking of which, why am I still unable to preorder Skyfire or Trainbot #3 on Amazon.jpn? Please help geezers!!

Skyfire is a Takara Mall exclusive and won't be up on Amazon Japan. No idea where train bot 3 is but the new Sentai and Shinkalion toys are very tempting.

Yukikaze is just slow getting on there but Skyfire is a Takara Tomy Mall exclusive for some unknown reason, he wont be showing up on Amazon Japan.

I should point out that Deep Discount does charge at order for PayPal payments, not for cards but they will do a charge hold. I have a bunch of stuff pre-ordered with them right now, but none of it is anything I have to worry over missing out on if they end up canceling. They sent me Legacy Arcee the other day, but still waiting on Drag Strip and Kickback. If they cancel Skyfire and Yukikaze on me I think they'll still be readily available elsewhere.

Yeah, they will be available at all the online Hasbro retailers for the Hasbro release.

Day 9 since I placed my Pulse order from the sale and still hasn't shipped. I'm sure they got a ton of orders, but 9 days?

Yeah same boat here, the Coronation Screamer and extra Sweep I ordered to be my Father's Day present, is looking like they won't make it in time.

I was just looking over the reviews for Deepdiscount because they have a MOTU origins Stridor for $11. To start with, that price seems way too low for a new-ish item. But after seeing so many negative reviews I decided not to take the chance. The main reason is because of all the reviews that say:

1. They list items as IN STOCK but they really are not in stock.

2. Their customer service is horrible. They are rude & hateful & will constantly lie to get out of giving you a refund.

I thought I'd be safe using Paypal but I saw people mention problems even with Paypal. They can ship you the wrong item & Paypal will assume everything is ok. Then you have to fight it out for months. If the item is actually out of stock, they won't let you know & will take forever to issue a refund.

Everything might go great but I'm just not going to take the chance. I can handle 1 or 2 bad reviews but this site has mostly negative reviews across a lot of different sites like Sitejabber, Yelp, Trustpilot & Resellerratings. It's just not worth saving a few bucks if I have to go through a huge ridiculous hassle.

Same here, as you and Kev. It does seem odd that some people had same day movement but for others of us, they are backed up to the point of going over a calendar week for it to move. Not shocked just disappointed. I understand that they were probably swamped with orders but at this point, it should be an expected variable and not a shipping anomaly.

Quick update with my recent Deep Discount experiences, they've just shipped out my pre-orders for Legacy Kickback and SS Bee movie Arcee, on top of delivering Legacy Arcee last week. So far so good. A little slow shipping stuff out, but even Amazon can't seem to decide what's ready to ship and what isn't. Just waiting for SS Ironhide and Legacy Drag Strip to show up and I have no reason to think they wont.

Pulse order finally shipped today after I messaged them and told them to cancel my order since it was taking so long lol. Guess they just needed a gentle push so to speak. 12 days is what it took for in stock items to ship. Yikes!
