Yeah, for Prime-Day deals, they're really quite unspectacular. Although the Diaclone Twin Twist at $17.49 is pretty good. That's a great figure!

It's not a huge deal, but Core Swoop and Skarr are $9.99 each on Amazon right now. They're out of stock but are still taking orders for a future restock.

I think this is the lowest I've seen the Robosen Transformers Optimus Prime Elite G1. It's $549.99 at Best Buy right now. I think the previous lowest was $599.99 Here's the link in case anyone is interested:

Steal of a Deal - Robosen Optimus Prime Available for $150 off on Best Buy

Thanks to a heads up from seibertronian EmoTim, we have news that the Robosen autoconverting Optimus Prime figure is currently at its lowest observed price online on Best Buys website at $549.99, which is $150 off the normal retail price. This puts Prime around the original cost of a Haslab Unicron.

Robosen Prime is an autoconverting figure that you can program to do all kinds of things like dance, fight, and more, in addition to his baseline transformation. We will warn you though, once you power him off, he will not stand on his own. He is purely a figure to command, not one to play with.

If you were on the fence about him before, this may be your best chance to get a hold of one!

Huh. That's how much Robosen was selling it at BotCon this past weekend. It was a convention-exclusive discount.

Any discount is welcome, but it's still too high a price for anyone but the wealthiest, most hardcore collectors.

Let's also keep in mind that this is the smaller second version rather than the original much bigger and way more expensive version.

Cool, ordered both. Weird that Prime isn't even in stock and they've still discounted him like that. Also noticed while Primal is discounted from the "list price" Prime is off the "typical price" weird because it makes Prime's deal look less impressive even though it's the same price.

Gamestop is doing a collectibles sale similar to the ones that Target does on full priced in stock items.

Spend $75 save 10%
Spend $125 save 20%

They also have a bunch of stuff on clearance.

My order:

Pop! Unicron (on clearance for $14.99)
Gamer Edition Cliffjumper, Barricade and Megatron
SS86 Brawn
SS RotB Rhinox
Legacy Nemesis Leo Prime

Saved $36 on the new figures which is sort of like getting a Voyager free.

And of course, Nemesis is not eligible and is a preorder.

I know this will be different based on region and possibly even individual store,
but I just returned my Buzzworthy SS86 Ironhide and Prowl 2-pack, and bought it back for 50% off.
With a RedCard, even after tax it was < $30.

Now I'm up for attempting that surgery; just need to get a couple of those "specialized tools".

It has been interesting to see the differences in the Target stores near me;
They're all within a 30-40 mile radius, and both the stock and the prices have varied greatly.
The store nearest me just got Towline in within the last week and a half... But the others had him within the first two weeks of August.

It's not just Target, I hit one of the local Walmarts that I don't get to very often anymore and they still don't have G2 stuff yet while my regular Walmart is on their fourth case of Deluxe figures.

Target is doing their Circle Week sale this week. $10 off $50 and $25 off $100 in toys. They have the Troop 4 pack and Armada Megatron in stock and MPM Bonecrusher still available for pre-order and you can use the deals more than once. I canceled my old Bonecrusher order and ordered it again to save $25.

Walmart Isn't the Only Retailer Sending Their Exclusives To Closeout Stores

Postby Bounti76 » Mon Oct 09, 2023 9:07 pm

Weapon: Vibro-Axe
It was just within the last two weeks that figures from the Velocitron Speedia 500 collection started popping up at American discount retailer Ross stores, including thethe highly elusive Cosmos.

Now Target is sending Buzzworthy Bumblebee figures to Ross, as well. SS86 Cliffjumper, SS86 cartoon deco Kup, and SS B-127 were all found at a Ross store in West Bountiful, Utah.

And if that wasn't enough, Seibertronian Casey280 found Shattered Glass Slicer and Exo-Suit, a Hasbro Pulse exclusive, at a Ross in the Vintage Oaks Shopping Center in Novato, California. Photo proof is provided below.
