No problem

hes cool. neat deal for those that do not have him

Guys, GET HIM. This is a STEAL of a price for an amazing figure. I was skeptical since I don’t even like the character or design of hot rod, but my gosh is the figure awesome. The only thing keeping this from being an MP figure is the paint and lack of Die Cast. He was worth it for $80, he’s an absolute steal at $56.

That is a tempting price, but I will pass for now.

I haven't taken a TF sale yet for the Black Friday deals, but I did get some other things with deals

I caved and bought Rodimus...
But I'm going to sell the trailer and hope that all said and done the figure ends up costing me $40-$42-ish.
I'll be able to live with that.

I also bought Maketoys Visualizers for $99 on TFSource... I didn't like the Siege toy, Hastak will probably never make a MP Reflector, and I've wanted these characters in my collection for a long, long time.
Nice thing is that of the 3P versions, I feel MT's best encompasses my ideal for these guys; especially with the head to body proportions, as well as the head/face sculpts.
3 Siege Refraktors would be somewhere around $80+ now anyway, and what's on the way is far better in pretty much every way... So that extra $30-ish (with shipping) still made this a pretty easy purchase.

Selling the Rodimus trailer makes no sense. Your Rodimus will be severely incomplete and be worth nothing.

Good call on Visualizers. I bought that set for the same price years ago at the Maketoys shop when it was still a thing. Amazing all over with only two glaring flaws. The withe things on the foot pop off too easily and the shoulder pegs on the middle guy's shoulders are way too annoying to deal with in transformation. Because these pegs are not essential for the middle guy I ended up cutting them off. They may be not really MP-sized (not sure about the scale) but that trio is top notch.

Rodimus as a figure will be plenty complete... With the other characters I have from the '86 movie, it's actually going to work out really, really well. What doesn't work, is trying to fit that huge trailer anywhere in any display.
That would've sat in the box, inside of another box with some of my other collection. I mean, I guess Wheelie and Daniel could've hung out in that thing...
Keeping it would've made very little sense.
I'm also betting that if I ever want to sell Rodimus, someone out there will buy him sans trailer.

But with Roddy on my movie shelf, I'm going to move Hot Rod to a shelf and surround him with Sharkticons, and once I have Perceptor, Kup will join HR.

I know a few said they would only get this if it was closer to the leader class price point, well this is it. Just 6$ more than Leader Earthrise Prime but a waaaay better package.

By the time I found out about the sale it was 11 PM Sunday night and I was done spending money from the weekend. $56 would've gotten me to move on it if it were Black Friday, but I already bought Skorponok 10% off from Hasbro Pulse and a couple other things for myself. It was super tempting, especially since I don't have a Rodimus Prime in my collection, but I wasn't attached enough to the character to swing a late night purchase. That was the price I'd have bought him at, but maybe I'll get lucky again later. I did with Grapple this weekend ($13 at Ollie's vs. $18 on Amazon LOL).

It's Monday but looks like pretty much all the "Cyber Monday" deals are over for both Amazon.com and .ca.

Those who were still on the fence about buying the Ark or Rodimus are now push back on the grounds they came from.

Kingdom T-Wrecks on sale for $37.09 at Target for anyone who didn't want to pay full price.

Anyone still on the fence regarding Transformers Kingdom leader T-Wrecks? Well, you'll let us know if this new deal works for you. Target.com has him at 30% off, making it $37.09.

I wonder if this would work in store as well? As I stated in the brag/cry thread, when I went to my closest Target on Sunday T-Wrecks (4 of them) was the ONLY Transformer on the shelves at all...

If nothing else they should price match their own site if it isn't marked down in stores.

This is really a great deal for a leader class figure. Thing is you couldn’t get me to buy this thing if it was $10 lol. Something about this figure just feels so….awful.

The deco is inaccurate to the original.

This is tempting and a good price (plus 5% for redcard) but I really just cannot bring myself to want a Beasty Megs redeco.

For all intents and purposes he also has the wrong head.

I'd buy it for $10, maybe even 15, but I'm not feeling the deco on this one either. They really did need to make a new head.

There already is one:



T-Wrecks' painted lips suggest this was the head meant for him.

How about a Different head and not just another megatron one. I would have settled for the mutant head. They gave Grimlock a new head (thank Primus). T-Wrecks needed a new different head instead of being color swap megatron with constipation pain mouth.

Most of the Target exclusive transformers are now on sale online including Draculus at 20% off.

I snagged one today and will be returning my pre-ordered one for a full price refund.

Even free I wouldn't take it. My space is more valuable. With the lackluster deco there isnt much point. I own the original, I own this mold, this adds nothing for me.

Dang! He is worth the $32 but I woulda loved him at 25

They also had a lot of stuff even further discounted yesterday. I got Draculus when he was 30% off, and I almost bought the Studio Bee 2-pack when it was 50% off
