Almost makes me wish I would've waited to get Grimlock (but not really, I wouldn't have wanted to risk it).
If people can find him and have a Red Card, you'll be getting a really solid Leader Class figure for $38.
That's a great deal!

Ordered Earthrise Grapple on Amazon today for $23.99. Not a bad deal for a Voyager class!

Re: Steal of a Deal: Sales and Discounts at Online Retail and Brick-and-Mortar Stores
Okay, so target has a weird ad starting tomorrow with 2 sales on Transformers.
The first one says Transformers Generations Studio Series Voyager Optimus Prime figure for $23.99, but shows a picture of ER Leader prime.
The second one says Transformers Generations War for Cybertron Siege Leader Class WFC-14 Shockwave for $44.99, but shows a picture of SS Voyager Blitzwing.
Both say assortments vary by store, but I find it hilarious they get so specific with Siege Shockwave.
So I'm guessing SS Voyagers are $23.99 and Kingdom Leaders are $44.99.

Shame Target hasn't had decent stock of SS Voyagers and WFC Leaders online or off for months. I don't regret buying SS Starscream yesterday, he certainly wouldn't be there next week.
Though, like other Target sales this might work for pre-orders so Galvatron could be cheaper.

Yeah I think the oversaturation of Siege Shockwave really caused both walmart and Target to order far fewer. Since they finally all went away at the end of ER. I haven't seen a single store with more than 2 leader toys in stock at any given time. More often than not Leadr shelf space is empty.

Steal of a Deal: $20 Earthrise Leaders Showing up at Ollie's
- Motto: "Spellcheck's antithesis."
- Weapon: Saw-Edged Pincer
That's right, the title basically says it all. Thanks to Seibertronian EmoTim bringing this to our attention in the Energon Pub Forums! If you happen to be lucky enough to be in part of the USA with an Ollie's you could find yourself walking out with an Earthrise Leader for the super low price of $20! The deal can be found in the latest flyer dated for April 15. From Tim's own experience:

Definitely a deal worth looking into for those that can. Let us know in the forum what you find!

I found those at my Ollie's a month ago...guess I just assume it's always old news by the time I stumble across it.

Re: Steal of a Deal: Sales and Discounts at Online Retail and Brick-and-Mortar Stores
Went to Ollie's today and grabbed myself one of each. Doubledealer is weird but with a little help can definitely replace my janky custom version, and I'm glad I got him at this price. They also had Bombshock & Growl for $5.99.
Rushing in where Hasbro fears to tread (for now)...

I actually got an Optimus Prime at Ollies for 19.99 last month. There was only one, so I didn't make a fuss about it. I plan to give it to my boy as a replacement for his now well worn Earthrise Prime.

It's super frustrating that Target is having a pretty good sale on Transformers, but of the 10 or stores in my area almost none of them have Kingdom, and only a few have SS. So much empty space, and Buzzworthy toys nobody asked for.

My local Targets have been a barren wasteland since early December. The shelves are usually totally empty. The Buzzworthy figures are the only thing they stock consistently, and while it usually sells, it takes up maybe half the deluxe pegs, and that's it. It totally baffling.
One did recently stock some voyagers, though, and my brother managed to snag a SS86 Hot Rod on sale, so that was nice.

TRU Canada might be handling it better, plus the fact I'm sure they keep most of the other lines in stock. It's like some Target exec decided their TF section will be 80% Buzzworthy, 10%SS and whatever is leftover, will be the other 10%, and ad a result, tons of empty shelves unless it's BB

Buzzworthy sold pretty well at my local Target, all there is is maybe 5 or 6 Deluxes after I picked up a 74BB Bumblebee a little over a week ago. Probably helps that I don't have multiple Targets in my area, there's only 5 Targets in my entire state spread along the 95 (a 6th one is being built at a former Kmart well off the interstate), so popular exclusives sell out fast if they get stocked at all. I've yet to see a WFC exclusive in store, had to get all of them off the website. My local store didn't get Scorponok either which tells you how poorly Target pays attention to the needs of their stores. A store that services many tens of square miles of people should be made a priority in keeping things in stock and receiving big ticket items compared to areas that have multiple stores they can spread stock around to.

They've definitely been a better seller than the Cyberverse exclusives, which is ironic because the Buzzworthy Cyberverse figures sold really well, too.

Steal of a Deal: Select Figures on Sale at Target for 50% Off!
- Weapon: Vibro-Axe
Greetings, Transformer fans! Thanks to the efforts of two fellow Seibertronians, Dr. Caelus and EmoTim, we bring to you the news of a nice online sale at Target in the U.S. First, there's two Earthrise figures, Voyager Class Snapdragon, and Leader Class Doubledealer, both at a 50% off discount! This makes Snapdragon $13.49, and Doubledealer just $22.49. But the big deal is the relatively new Transformers/X-Men Collaborative Ultimate X-Panse figure, which is also 50% off, making this transforming X-Jet figure in its 90s style packaging just $32.49! This is an awesome deal on this figure, which only began shipping weeks ago.

Theres no indication that selling the Buzzworthy toys in your area will result in target ordering more of the lines that are not Buzzworthy.
