I ordered mine from Amazon over a week ago at $41. Even with Prime it still hasn't arrived. Apparently there are delays in the shipment from Japan. Hopefully the order isn't canceled. So fair warning it may take a while to arrive.

Also, a side note question, why in the world is Best Fire Predaking considered an exclusive with an original listing price of 90$ US?!?!?!? I got mine from Walmart for 25$ last year, not sure what is up with this goofy price (it's currently on clearance for 65$ )

http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/product.aspx?product=HAS23004&mode=retail

Many Americans got it from Target on clearance between 12$ and 25$. I also, really don't see any difference between the regular release and the Target one aside from the box.
It's also a pretty poopy mold compared to the glorious "voyager" from 2014. (I never owned the Beast Fire mold, but I saw enough video reviews to have a pretty good idea of how he work and look.)

Seriously, anyone shoudnt bother with a supreme Predaking when the ultimate version is still available for a relatively decent price.
Here's the cheapest one:

Look how the Ross price is displayed without shame. There's also the damn shipping but meh, what can ya do?

OD'd on yellow perhaps. Unlike the original banana yellow which flew off the shelves (figuratively that is).

I actually ordered one on Friday from an American shop and got it yesterday. I wanted to make sure it was legit before posting.

Make sure you contact Amazon, they'll give you a free month of Prime.

If its coming from Japan its not shipped by Amazon, so the prime shipping thing doesn't apply.

There are cheaper options on Amazon which offer free shipping: http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B00S4DZ9LK/ref=dp_olp_new?ie=UTF8&condition=new

I'm not totally sure how it worked on their end, but it qualified for Prime though it did say it wouldn't be in stock for a week. Given the low price and Prime fulfilment by Amazon, I took a chance and placed the order. I'm not in a rush so as long as it comes I'm ok.

Unless the price difference is huge, I always choose the lowest Prime eligible priced merchant. If there are any issues whatsoever, Amazon takes care of it no questions asked. In my experience, going with a non-Prime merchant just isn't worth saving a few bucks.

I haven't seen any Transformers at my local Ross lately. I hope it doesn't mean Hasbro stopped clearancing their toys them

Hasbro Toy Shop on Ebay has insane prices on Transformers figures. $.99 Legion Class. $4.99 Legends and $14.99 voyagers SHIPPED http://stores.ebay.com/hasbrotoyshop/_i ... rmvSB=true

"Does not ship to Australia" ... of course.

Sweet got all 4 wave 2 mini cons for less than $20 shipped!

Man, I wish I needed something that's listed.

Fellow Seibertronian Primeultimus has spotted some too good to be true - but still true! - deals over on the Hasbro Toy Shop site on eBay: Transformers figures across different lines and classes, with prices such as $0.99 for Legion Class, $4.99 for Legends and $14.99 for Voyagers, and shipping is included (though not internationally). If you're still on the hunt for something, head over here to pick it up!

Legends figures for 5 bucks a pop and free shipping is too good to pass on. Picked up Rodimus and Skywarp to bring my Legends collection back up to complete status. Leader Megs for 40 was tempting, but I don't have the scratch, right now and he's only 45 at Wal-Mart.

$0.99 for Legion Class
Granted it's just Grimlock, but still.


*continues looking*
Hmm, seems like they just knocked $5 off of most everything. Not bad, but after seeing Legion Grim's at a whopping 80% discount it's a shame that Leader Megs is only 10% off.

Does not ship to Canada

Dammit!!! Rodimus is gone. I had two in my cart and he sold out before I could complete sale. Someone actually bought (10) for crying out loud! They only had 168 at that price.

~reluctantyouth~

Is CW Cyclonus worth $20? Still on the fence on that one...

Yes. He's super fun.

I had seen 6 different legion class figures for .99

Sideswipe , Bumblebee , Grimlock , Underbite , Strongarm , and Steeljaw.

They had pretty much every Legends figure from Combiner Wars up at one point. Still a bunch of Deluxes and Warrior Class.

I got 3 Legends I needed, and all 4 Stunticons. I wanted to get a carded set (I assume this is the carded version of Dragstrip).

$15 for Skybyte and Roadbuster is excellent. Better than TJ Maxx and Marshalls, actually. I may have to consider those too...

I apologize in advance if this isn't the right forum to ask this question, does anyone more experienced at collecting know what TRU generally does with inventory it cannot sell out of? I missed out on MP Soundwave, and while I do not love the colors of the YOTG version, I can live with it if I can get it at a good (great) price. In that regard, I've been hopeful that TRU will run a huge discount on it to liquidity excess inventory. This figure has been out for some time, and every TRU in my area has a ton of these available on the floor. The flagship store has at least 10 on display, and they're just collecting dust.

No legions left right? Couldnt find any.

You dont have either of those 2 voyager molds yet? I would highly recomend the Takara galshark over this skybyte but for that price, this is good. The mold is really underrated. And roadbuster is loads of fun.

Roadbuster is a hair cheaper on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Transformers-Gene ... roadbuster
