I went to the near by Target during my lunch break hoping to find the next wave of TFs when I spotted this mark down. I'm really interested in the awesome looking Takara version. So I thought for anyone who still didn't wanna pay the $50 and don't mind $34.98 instead should get on this. If this is old news and has already been announced then Mods by all means remove this post. :VEHI:

Not a bad price if you can get it, unfortunately not all Targets clearance the same things at the same time. One of the Targets in my city clearance out the Abominus sets for $12.88 while the rest of them still has them sitting at full price.

Thanks for the tip! I've been waiting for this to go on clearance for a while now. My local store had ONE Beast Fire Predaking left, and I managed to snag it.

If anyone else is looking, be sure to check the clearance aisle itself, as well as the regular Transformers section. These seem to be selling out fast at $34.98 a piece.

Glad I was able to help. :VEHI:

That's a good value. A great figure, too.

I'd rather have the up-scaled Voyager for $20. It's an even better value.

People are now finding Predaking for just under $13.

Can confirm $12 price

Wait... should I try to return him and re-buy to save $24, or return him and buy three, so I have a herd? Or would they be a flock... ?

Well, that beats me. I bought one last night for $13.98 in Chicago. Felt like a champ too, until I saw this picture.
Anyway, for under $15, this figure is an absolute steal.

Wow from a good to awesome in just days! :shock:

They're still $34.98 around here in the twin cities. The clearance price likely varies from region to region, or even store to store.

It sure does. I saw him at a different Target in my area and he was clearenced at $25. It's like corporate says "Put them on clearance" but then lets the individual stores decide what that means price wise.

I'm almost sure it's a murder of Predakings.

Don't beat yourself up. Toy collecting isn't a competition... unless it is, then I'm TOTALLY winning.

This is a bit off topic, but Target has delighted me once again with a great find in the world of Transformers Prime products. This time, I FINALLY found Beast Hunters Deluxe Prowl! My collection is now complete at last!

Two other stores I went to yesterday dropped the prices down to $20.64. I suppose it will drop as low $12.48 eventually. :VEHI:

My local target labeled at $27 but scanned at $13.74.

Thu Feb 13, 2014 1:36 pm

I'm in IOWA. Just got mine for 12.88!!!! The waiting paid off. I wonder how many actually sold for the original $59 price tag?

We've been getting reports on a variety of pricing for these figures for quite some time, and have even seen quite the swing in pricing at our local Targets. But at whatever the current price, it does seem Target is aiming to make you a deal on Beast Fire Predaking and Construct-Bot Optimus Prime vs Megatron. So far, Target.com doesn't seem to be reflecting the clearance pricing. Clearance priced figures can be found in Target's toy clearance aisles in most Targets, and are going for, in some stores, some pretty amazing deals. At one of the Targets local to the Denver-metro area, Beast Fire Predaking was purchased for $12.48. Other users have spotted him anywhere from $17.48 on up to $34.49. The Construct-Bot sets are on clearance anywhere from $6.50 to $9.99, depending on location. If you've been considering any of these items, it sure seems now is the time to get them.

I has no plans to pick up Beast Fire Predaking, but for under $20...

Guess I better troll my local Targets tomorrow. :twisted:

Found Ultimate Predaking at Target 2 weeks ago for $24.98. I did plan on getting him earlier, but I'm glad I waited for him on clearance.

News Credits: 86 · Thu Feb 13, 2014 4:04 pm

Haha, I was in the same boat. The transformation was so simple, I wasn't terribly interested for $50... But at $12.48 it's a different story.

My Target cleared out their Predakings already. Dunno if it ever got to the $12 price, last I saw it was $17.

I wonder if/when the other Pred Rising stuff will get clearanced. The Legion 2-pack and Predaking already did, so I'd imagine the others will eventually.
Granted even with those prices I'm still not terribly interested in any of them.
