At least YOUR shipping is free.
Canadians have to pay 30$US of shipping for a single core class toy... or 2 titans.

Pulse no longer offers free shipping, at any treshold. You have to pay an annual member fee for free shipping.

^Exactly. The last thing t got from Pulse was Deathsaurus, and they don't even offer discounted shipping. If you ordered 5 of them, you paid 5x the shipping unless you are a premium member. I get that it may be Beneficial to some, but an elitist paywall is why the TFCC and convention exclusives are sore spots for many.

The first order arrived two days after it shipped, while the second hasn't arrived yet; it's been three days and the second order's estimated delivery date is still "Pending".

My experience was pretty much the same; initial warehouse sale business meant it took longer to ship, but it has slowed down now. My 2nd order was ordered monday, shipped wednesday, arrived thursday.

Only if you have Pulse premium. If you don't, you still get charged shipping

At least Americans have the option.

Holy crap that initial price was INSANE! I mean, 217$CAN or 160US, holy shiiiiiit.

At 48GBP or 80$CAN or 59$US, now THAT'S a deal anyone can get behind.

Target is doing spend $50 save $10 / spend $100 save $25 again. Not much on the site, but they do have the two Buzzworthy NEST figures so buying both would save you $10.

Shame they haven't put RotB figures on the site yet.

GBP prices have always been like that. Ours never get adjusted for currency rates.

Still, it could have been worse. You could have preordered two at that price via Amazon...

Noooooooooo you didn't.

Still, speaking of that JP set, Americans can have it right now at Amazon for less than 50$US!

Any Americans who passed because of the initial price now have a chance.
Heck, even with the 22$US of shipping and taxes, Canadians still have a deal.

Legacy Deluxe Skullgrin is $16.99 at Target. It doesn't say that it's on sale, but that is definitely a sale price, right?

Toysrus is clearing out their exclusive Transformers figures at the moment, probably to make way for the slew of new figures coming. The Creatures Collide multipack is a particularly good deal, especially when its initial price did not have the typical Toysrus markup. It has gone from $129.99 to $77.98 CAD which is about $58 USD for 4 exclusive deluxes and their bonus heads.

There is still stock on their website so if you are interested, click the link below:

https://www.toysrus.ca/en/Transformers- ... 8E9FC.html

Still a hard pass.

I thought it was a good set, mostly because I didn't already have most of the figures they were repainted from. And these days - four deluxes for $58-ish is a great deal. Granted ten years ago we'd have called it a rip-off...

Well, if you don't like partformers nor beasties, this set sure ain't for you. No matter the price.

That set is a "hard pass" even at 40% off. That's the only logical reason.

You said it so passionately but left without any explanations.

He really likes the Beast Wars show but none of these are really related to it. Only Scorponok but its a toy redeco, so even a huge fan of the show wouldnt see much value to this set.

So it's just a case of not being a fan of repaints then....

Sigh...

For those interested Best Buy has a sale on the Super7 11" Super Cyborg figures. The sale ends May 20th. They are $59.49 each, which is $25.51 off.

G1 Clear Bumblebee

Personally, I think these figures are pretty cool, but are still way over priced.

This won't last very long, but right now the reissue G1 Thundercracker with the cartoon deco is on sale for $29.

Doh, already sold out. I'll keep an eye out if it goes on sale again.

TFSource has Titan Guardian Robots on sale for $160. Lowest price I'm aware of anywhere. Plus they ship free since they're over $150 and they don't charge tax.

https://tfsource.com/hasbro-transformer ... evolution/

They have some other good deals as part of their Memorial Day sale, but I know a lot of people have been looking for a deal on this one.

Oh wow, that's a really good price! Thanks for the heads up!
