Steal of a Deal: Sales and Discounts at Online Retail and Brick-and-Mortar Stores

Feel free to discuss anything about any of the thousands of Transformer toys here. Anything from Generation 1 all the way to the soon to be released, the never to be released or the hope to be released is fair game! Want to show off your stuff? Please post your's and see others in the Transformers Collections Forum.

Target's search engine on their websites truly sucks.

By far it's one of the worst.

Definitely, the app is better than the website, but it's still awful


The biggest problem with Target, and Walmart for that matter are that both stores stopped taking pre-orders for individual regular releases. They both appear to have stopped at Kingdom Galvatron for WFC and the Grindor/Slag for SS. I haven't seen an individual Listing for any regular release since they were announced.

I do wonder if they learned their lessons from last year's pre-order debacles and just said forget it for anything that isn't one of their exclusives.

I mean it makes sense, they still got their fair share of purchases from me finding bots in store before the online retailers started shipping. Why bother taking pre-orders if they are terrible at keeping them on track if they will likely end up selling all they ordered one way or another?

These stores should stick to what they know and do best. Preorders were always a headache with them, glad they dropped it. Fans who are preorder savy can get them elsewhere when it comes to general release figures.

GameStop on their website currently has a 15% off deal on "high end' toys and statues, which evidently includes Transformers. Some notable availabilities I saw were Selects Galvatron for $45, and the Jurassic Park crossover set for $90. They would have Black Zarak for $135, but alas it's not available to order online at this time :BANG_HEAD:

It looks like ALL Transformers figures are on sale right now. Rhinox for $25, Deep Cover, Black Arachnia from Kingdom...all included.
It finally happened. The Chicago Cubs won the World Series. Yes, I cried.

My apologies, I guess I should have clarified that. Yes all the Transformers are 15% off at GameStop. I just was highlighting what I thought might have been some of the more desirable ones in stock.

Black Zarak actually says "sold out" from a search so someone lucky might have actually gotten one.

It's a good sale, thanks for posting, but nothing I want is in stock.

Not normally a good place for TF sales. But currently, Forbidden Planet has Ark for £99.99

Reasonable price for a Titan Class.

Studio Series Core Ravage is only $8.49 on Amazon right now. That's a much easier price to swallow for his size and simplicity.

Steal of a Deal - Transformers Kingdom Rodimus Prime down to $72.48 on Amazon and Walmart

Motto: "There are no impossibilities in the multiverse, just small minds unable to comprehend the possibilities"

Have you been thinking about getting the Kingdom Rodimus Prime figure, but haven't really committed to the idea yet? Do you have an Amazon Prime account? Do you use Amazon in any capacity? Well if the answer is yes, then we have a small treat for you.

The War for Cybertron: Kingdom Rodimus Prime figure, the commander class figure for the Kingdom line, is currently showing as $72.98 on Amazon, which is a 15% discount from its normal $84.99 commander class cost. This deal will presumably only run for a short period of time, so if you want this figure, now is definitely a good time to jump!

Check out the links below, and let us know if you get one in the comments section below!

My local Target hasn't had any new Transformers in for a while outside of the new BB Deluxes which were all gone. Ended up spending the discount on MOTUO Stridor.

I was able to get Buzzworthy B-127. The back of the box makes it look like the toy has a more golden color. I haven't removed it from the tray but there's still a ton of clear plastic and certain parts aren't pegging together well. One other thing I've noticed is that the cutouts for the ankles are far lower down than where Bumblebee is strapped in. I wonder if the card will be used for someone else who will fit better.

Used it to get my B-127 too. Almost used it on an Indorapter, but glad to find the Buzzworthy deluxes instead.

I'm really tempted by these deals, but honestly I'm confident that I'll see these figures show up in stores months before they're regularly available online. Always seems to happen that way at least.

Good deal, ordered SS Slug, Legacy Optimus Prime and Crossover Megatron, saved about $20 plus free shipping. Was going to order Bulkhead because he's about $3 off, but he didn't qualify for free shipping which was also $3 so that seemed pointless. Hopefully Gamestop continues to get stuff a little earlier than most this year.
