Target (US) has a toy sale. $10 off $50 or $25 off $100. I used it to finally jump on the Metal Defender set, which I believe is a Target exclusive. Regular price is $70. They have it discounted to $65, so $55 after stacking with this current sale, before tax of course. For reference, the individual figures are about $15, so $75 if all bought separately. A decent deal IMO.

We have news that Target in the U.S. is running a toy sale. Using their Cartwheel app, the coupons (shown below) will give you $10 off a $50 purchase or more, or $25 off a $100 purchase. Additionally, this sale is available online at Target.com (where the discount will automatically be applied once qualifying items are in your cart), and there are even coupons available in the circular advertisements available with most Sunday edition newspapers or direct mail.

One other sale of note is a Cartwheel coupon that offers a $5 Target gift card if you purchase $30 or more from their Halloween shop (also pictured below). So dress your kids up like Hot Rod, Bumblebee or Optimus, and hey- free $5 gift card.

Thanks to fellow Seibertronians nycPrime and Emerje for the heads up!

This would be great if they ever had anything good in stock at the dotcom. Or rather, anything I actually want. I found some stuff but nothing worth putting an actual order in for to take advantage of the sales. I feel that I'd just be better off waiting and I'll get it all for cheaper soon enough.

Just took a look at target.com and I'm impressed to see all the OLD Generations figures still being sold there. Combiner Wars deluxes sell for some stupid amount on Ebay but at Target, many are still there at the regular price. Moreover, they still have Roadbuster, Rhinox, and the likes!

Even Canadians who missed out on these Generations figures can find a deal.

several of them say "not available online, check local stores" when you click on them.
as for anyone getting a deal? I finally saw TF5 Nitro Zeus at my closest Target yesterday - for $36.99!

Unfortunately it's just listings. They're not really available. The website could use an updating.

LoL it's the worst. Unless they recently fixed it, you weren't even able to sort by online availability. And i know brick and mortar store availability is generally a useless feature for most stores, it's probably the worst at Target.

Maybe the taxes are included. in that case, it's just the regular price. But if the taxes are NOT included, hello, drugstore type mark-up!

Nothing available online.

Target is just a tease.

Dear Target....

Our very own Emerje has let us know that Transformers: The Last Knight Cybertron figure has been marked down to $109.19 which is a huge savings. This figure is exclusive to ToysRUs and also stands 11 inches tall. So far we know the sale is available online, but this toy is sold in store so it may be a good idea to check.

If you find any good sales or deals, be sure to let us know!

Still no signs of that planetformer in canada.

While it's a huge markdown from the $150 retail price, I still can't see this as a "deal." $50-$75, sure... but $100? Eeeh... I dunno.

What about the rest of you? Is G2 Primus worth the dough?

I wonder what other sales TRU is going to have considering it's position. I for one am keeping an eye out.

Somebody else notified us of the online sale price about a week ago in the forums (D=Max Prime possibly?).

I know because I jumped on it once I saw the price. You can order it from TRU.com with free shipping, or in store pickup. Or, you can just go to the store and price match TRU.com.

I missed out on the planet formers during the previous releases, so $109 was a good enough price for me. I love the mold and I like the G2 paint job better than the previous releases.

I mainly bought it for the attack/defense modes to add to my Titans Return mega city, but really like the mold overall.

I've been watching this TRU sale for a few weeks. Still haven't pulled the trigger.

Depends on how much you like it. I'm a huge Cybertron fan, Primus is one of my all time favorite figures & I absolutely LOVE the new colors. So.......uh.......well? I dunno. Really want the figure but don't want to pay that much. At least not now. I have a feeling I can get it even cheaper if I wait it out. These will not sell just like that Cybertron supreme Starscream G1 repaint didn't. They couldn't move that thing & Primus isn't moving at my local TRU either.

Yep, I picked up Cybertron about a week ago at that price. I saw it 2 weeks ago but didn't want to online order, but I saw it in stores and price matched, so it was worth that short wait.

And the mold is definitely worth it. Cybertron is honestly nearly as heavy as Metroplex and Fort Max despite being only half the height, mainly because the plastic is very dense on him and he is very bulky, unlike the city guys. The paint is premium and I love having a planet. You should pick him up

"To Titan Class, or not to Titan Class... that is the question."

Sadly not at my local TRU

This guy is so articulated that he can give you the finger, Weinstein-style!

Not sure if anyone's still collecting Super Link but here's a tremendous price on Galvatron: http://www.ebay.com/itm/transformers-en ... 3207635852

Tempting, but not a priority at this time.

Is it the voyager or leader?

Regardless, the high shipping cost kill the deal.
