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.

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.

If anyone has an Aldi with any ER deluxes left, it might be worth taking a peek. I was originally going to skip ER Arcee having the T30 version. But I found one in a random bin of leftover Christmas toys at my Aldi with no indication of a price. I brought it up to the register with my groceries, and for $6.75, I let her come home with me.

Yelp, adding another destination to my random trips with the misses.

Amazon has Kingdom Primal down to $23.99 if anyone is interested

I'd definitely take that offer, if only I knew what the Netflix deco is going to look like, or what accessories it is coming with..., oh well...patience...

Thanks for this! I found him at Target last week for regular price and saved my receipt. Of course I cancelled my pre-order on Amazon when I found him, so now I'm back near the end of the line with a new pre-order. But once this comes in I'll just return it to Target for full price.

I had to cancel and reorder mine, unlike all the others, amazon did not honor the price difference, so I cancelled and reordered to be safe. And it's funny, the original order was set to arrive in early march, now it's early February, so I gained time

Look like they price-matched Gamestop, as they currently have Primal available for pre-order at that price. Cyclonus is showing at the same price on Gamestop, but not available. I'm hoping Amazon will price-match anyway, or that Gamestop will get more in, but that is doubtful with Cyclonus being shortpacked 2 to 1 versus Primal.

Edit: They also have the wave 1 deluxes at $18.39, so I've been trying to get Amazon to match those as well.

I wish Megatron would get a price break, but i think he's too popular right now to be going on any sort of sale

I can't even find BW Megatron on Amazon. I type it in manually, There is an overall "Kingdom" search that even has Megatron as the icon, but he himself doesn't come up... I'm sure its there, just my Amazon search isn't too intuitive.

He's unavailable right now, sold out. Glad I got my preorder in on him.

A lot of the Transformers Kingdom preorders are sold out on Amazon.com but they still have Optimus Primal and with a pretty sweet discount. You can currently preorder him for $23.99, which is a 20% discount.

You can order it here: https://www.amazon.com/Transformers-Toy ... 939&sr=8-2

The figure is due to ship out February first.

That usually happens when we news it through social media

25% off one toy at Target this week, both online or in store using Target Circle. Just scored a Blackbird (not calling it by it's official name) for around $50 online. This is one of those Target sales that many of us wait for. Shame there isn't much online, would have preferred to use that on Beast Megatron or SS86 Grimlock.

Unfortunately in the past month Target had just become an eyesore of Buzzworthy BB nonsense. As a family yesterday we just decided to take a drive, ended up at a Target about 40 miles away. It was all BB stuff and one Kingdom warpath. I checked around a few departments and about. 10 minutes later passed by toys again and Warpath was gone. Seriously, I hope the relationship between Target and Hasbro isn't strained after this because they are going to lose so much money on that BB line.

Sweet, thanks. Not interested in X-pants, but was in Ectotron, but not the new one at $60, way overpriced for the changes. I was waiting for Pulse to possibly restock the original at $40, but the new one at $60 with 25% off plus 5% off RedCard, sure thing.

I wish online had some more stuff, there isn't anything i really want online and my store recently has really sucked. Just Kingdom core Primes and Warpaths
