Sounds like the right price these days, unless you go for the higher end escorts.

Friend to the site Elitabeth-1 has written to let us know of all that Five Below has to offer related to Transformers this holiday season, which make fun stocking stuffers. This is an American discount store chain where almost everything is $5 or less.

In the images sent we see Cyberverse one step toys, the cheaper evergreen styled toys, Botbots exclusives, Cyberverse scouts, Titan Masters and some apparel as well.

My 5-Belows have had this stuff for over a month! Guess I should've said something back when I was stocking up for my 3rd cousins in Illinois.

I remember when those One-Step changers were sorta hard to find.

So I'm double posting this here and in the Kingdom thread in hopes of possibly creating a steal of a deal for many of us. When others found Cyclonus apparently in stock at Gamestop, I took a look myself, but decided to pass and wait for Amazon.

But I happened to notice that Gamestop has the prices wrong and low for most of wave 2. The have the deluxes at $16.99, Voyagers at $24.99 and Leader UM at $44.99.

However this actually is not a great deal because of how Gamestop set up their pre-orders. They are treating each item as a separate "order" as far as how their free shipping at $35 per order goes. They are charging $6 for shipping on each item since they won't let you combine. The only way I've found to get free shipping is to order enough of each individual item to get each item above $35, so 3 Airazors will work, but not 1 each of the 3 deluxes. Basically the great price gets wiped out by the shipping. Anyone interested in Kingdom UM can get him for free shipping since he is above the threshold all on his own.

However, I do have a challenge for everyone that has the wave 2 deluxes or voyagers on pre-order with Amazon. Go to the page for each item on Amazon, and report a lower price and give them the link to Gamestop's page for each item. In enough of us do it, it might make Amazon lower their price to match Gamestop and give us all the better pricing that have pre-ordered on Amazon. You can find the link to report a lower price in the Product Information area, under the feedback heading (scroll down a bit).

I'll be curious to see if this will work before scalpers see the price and wipe Gamestop out of stock.

Here are the links to Gamestop for anyone who wants to try this out. I've already submitted them myself.

I found a walmart that had ER Voyagers on clearance at $17, I don't know what this means for the rest of the line. When I was there they had 3 Hoists, a Starscream, and a Snapdragon. Or maybe it was 3 Snapdragons and a Hoist, I do not recall. I grabbed Screamer for myself. If you live in Georiga it was at 1550 Scenic Hwy N, Snellville, GA 30078, and I'll post this in the Georgia sightings thread as well.

I just cancelled my Pulse orders (I think?) and switched to amazon. Saved $5 on Dinobot, which was worth it.

Not sure about Pulse though, I selected all 3, but I only got a cancellation for Airazor, but the order on the website acts like I cancelled all 3... sooooooooo?

Amazon Deal of the Day
G.O. Autobot Clones $16.99

Sigh, I paid full price for them when they came out, thanks Amazon.

I have the TR ones and have no regrets. Of course I got those sets for other reasons, but the clones were a bonus. This price is basically the same that walgreens charged for their set back in 2017. Amazon probably has a surplus this the reduced price. The Mirage/Impactor/Aragon set is still on sale as well.

And the Decepticon ones are in full force at Target. I *would* jump on them, but what would I do with the TR ones if I get the sets?

At least the Decepticon clones are noticeably different from the titans return versions.

Found MPM Ratchet on sale at my local Target today. I think this is the lowest I’ve seen it go for.

I'm 3 for 5 so far, Airazor just dropped to $16.99 on Amazon. Just waiting for Huffer and Ractonite now.

Ractonite is the only one I pre-ordered. I got Paleotrex for less than $20, so if Ractonite goes down as well that would be awesome.

And now Huffer dropped to $16.99 on Amazon. C'mon Ractonite, you can do it too!

I just tried the price matching with Amazon on Wave 1 Kingdom deluxes with Target’s prices. Target doesn’t have the $3 mark up Hasbro suggested. Was told if they are accepted, it will take up to 72 hours to show on the site. Fingers crossed. Have only been able to pre-order Blackarachnia at the roughly $20 price so, if it works, I can hopefully get the others at the old price point.

Found Blaster on clearance for ~30% off at a Wal*Mart in Broomfield, Colorado.

Well here it is 9 days later and no change. In fact Warpath jumped up two more dollars for a bit before he sold out. At least I tried. You don't accomplish anything unless you try ...

Got my preordered Blackarachnia today. She is fairly small and seems a little too fragile for long-term survivability. But she is a good representation of the character in both modes, especially bot.

Finally Success!!! Ractonite dropped to $16.99 on Amazon finally too!!!

Cool, I already had one ordered, but I don't think These have a pre-order price guarantee so I ordered it again and cancelled my first one. Airrazor was up for the same price, but the pre-order button wasn't working and now she's out of stock again.

I love that I found my new pre-order tactic for any regular release from now on. Go with Amazon and report any lower price on the web that can be found. Then pivot and cancel should a better deal come up that Amazon won't match like the Target BOGO sales.
