Looks like those thrift stores are pure goldmines on lucky days. I wish i was lucky enough to find dumped gems like those for cheap.

Yeah, g1 hauls happen like once a year. But it always gives me hope i will find more

It reminds me of the haul I got last Friday, finding a Monstructor component, many minicons, a Cybertron Galvatron, keychain G1 Bee, World's smallest Bee, Croc BW Megatron, and even the Iron Man MKI frmm the IM2 toyline in the $1 bin at my collectors store. It's pretty awesome to find those hidden gems

Did you miss it in the toy haul thread?

I'm trying to get Icepicks shell off Ebay right now. I kinda want to find the other 2 parts to Armada Perceptor as I got Grindor in that bin, but I can only find 1 of the 2 on there individually

I missed several pages of the toy haul thread, I stopped getting alerts.

I found something somewhat unexpected, but it still makes sense: Five Below has acquired new TF overstock! What, you ask?

The Last Knight One-Step Changers ('Bee, Prime, Megatron, Barricade)

At mine (intersection of US 75 and US 380), they weren't at the regular toy section, rather they were more in front in a "first days of school" aisle, closer to the registers.

What were the prices?

They were $5. Anything is $5 or below in that chain, hence the name.

I know that, but i was still wodnering how cheap they were. Turns out, not that cheap.

That's half the retail price, though, isn't it? I forgot to submit this to the news crew, I found out about it in one of their email news letters which also advertised Marvel Legends Death's Head II for $5.




My store also restocked Titan Masters, but it was still wave 4 (with Repugnus and Shuffler), they never got wave 5 (with Ramhorn) like most people reported.

You can post it i the steal of a deal thread. And yeah, its 50% off retail, but thats not that amazing a deal, especially not compared to those marvel legends who were 20$ and are now 5$.

Lucky, mine has sold out of Wave 5 with Ptero, Overboard, Apeface and Ramhorn. Hopefully mine will get more, I regret skipping on little 'Pug.

Don't need a double but DAMN thats a great price for DH2!

Another thing I found: Evergreen Bumblebee-themed Walmart gift cards.

I'm a regular in a local flea-market in Brighton and there is a guy trying to sell a boxed (not mint) Twintwist for £25. And a boxed (worn) incomplete G1 Magnus (missing nearly everything) for £40.

I felt sorry for the guy and his deadweight stock...

Nothing that amazing today, just that Ross has a new load of merchandise in:

RiD Combiner Force 3-Step Changers
TLK AllSpark Tech (including Sqweeks, whom I thought was canceled)

More info here

Found these guys at T.J.Max tonight. I know they were pretty scarce in the US and some folks here have been looking for them so it's worth checking out. They were priced at $10.99 each.



They also had that Allspark Tech Sqweeks figure that was reported before by JelZe from Ross, which I just noticed is missing from TFWiki. I guess it's showing up at all the discount stores. It was $12.99 at T.J.Max.

Holy **** guys, this was like the hunt of the year for me. I dont think I ever found more stuff all at once. Went to Toysrus and found all the Botbots. Then I went to Walmart and found all of Siege (except leaders).

Here are some pics of today's hunt

Huh, and I haven't seen a Siege toy in stores yet, and I only just found the blind bag Botbots!

I like that bee bed though, I want to find it in a Full size

I guess I didnt find much in thrift stores since there hasnt been an entry of late, but here is an animated Ultra Magnus

I hope this guy gets a good home soon, that figure is amazing

I don't know what to say. Should I be shocked in awe at the amount of stock you got, or pity for the lack of new stuff, considering you still have TR. I can't complain though, you sure do have the good stuff

Lots of TF related items at the thrift store, but nothing to my liking. The G2 combiner limb was missing a leg.
And was really curious about the two pack of toys containing a guy that looks like Dante from Devil May Cry and a racecar driver Woody.

Who's the Eagle?

I would totally have grabbed that Jackhammer
