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.

Checked Ollies in Maryville, TN a few hours ago. They did not have any Transformers at all.

I'm going to be in Pittsburgh this weekend. Looks like there are some Ollies in the area so will definitely check it out. Also excited to check out a Walmart and Target since NYC doesn't have much in physical stores to speak of.

Regardless, I hope plenty more folks get to buy a Trypticon that may not have been able to before, even if it turns out to be $40 like Fort Max was.

Also, why does the price tag move from shot to shot

Edit, yet more weirdness: when did they change their price tags to be a lighter orange with rounded corners? Maybe they did, but the other items in the background have the bright neon orange ones with squared corners. I do want this to be real but my BS detector is going off like Brainstorm's Early Early Warning device on this one.

I'm taking a day off work in a couple weeks to take a long drive somewhere, just to get out. Now I'm thinking I might drive a few hours to an Ollie's or 2 in IN to see if I can find Trypticon.

I checked 3 Ollie's locations outside the Atlanta perimeter and the only Transformer I found was TR Cosmos. I'll call a few more today and see if they have Trypticon, but I"m not holding my breath. Can anybody compile a list of places he's been found so we can get an idea of possible distribution?

That’s a shame. I can usually get in on at least a couple good sales on HTS each year. Got most of the SS line at 15% off during the last sale. Overlord and Black Shadow for 20% off in December. And then two December’s ago I nabbed CW leader Starscream, Thundercracker, Skywarp, and Ultra Magnus for something like $27 each. And all of those orders with free shipping.

A lot of figures never turn up in brick and mortar around here, so HTS can be a real life saver. Sometimes it just requires patience and/or a little good timing.

Transformers The Last Knight Hot Rod Found at Retail for 8.99

Postby WreckerJack » Sun May 13, 2018 4:50 am

Motto: "The complain train is leaving the station."
Weapon: Arc-Welders
Thanks to a hot tip from Casey280 we know that Deluxe Class Transformers The Last Knight Hot Rod was found at Ross in Novato, CA. He was nice enough to forward us the picture below. Hot Rod has been marked down to 8.99 from 20.00 which is a steal of a deal if you ask us. It is possible that this deal will happen at a Ross store near you so it may be worth it to check out. Hopefully there will be other TLK toys being showing up at discount stores like Ross. If you find any good deals on Transformers figures online or in store please let us know!

I'm thinking that with TLK toys hitting clearance and possibly TRU's stock being liquidated that you might strike pay dirt. (Again just a guess here)
