haha, you say that everytime. But think of it this way, I already have these toys so whats the point. And if I didnt, I would have been so worried that I would have bought them online since I cant depend on the chance of them showing up at a warehouse. This is more fun for those who are only now coming into TFs and can get some more that are curently no longer in stores for afordable prices. Especially that amazon exclusive Slog.

I probably sound a little biased since I don't like the movies; but I see old AOE stock everywhere, yet no other 2014 toys - such as Thrilling 30 or Beast Hunters - in sight. Did Hasbro just overstock stores with AOE or what?

After a certain number sell they cover the pre-production costs (designing, sculpting, mold making, advertising), anything past that number only costs as much as the material/labor to make them (which isn't much) and ship them. And it doesn't really matter what they sell for in stores since the wholesale price to the retailer isn't likely to change. So Hasbro can crank out an excessive number of a figure, sell the leftovers off to a liquidator and still make a profit as long as the liquidator takes them at more than the cost of resources and shipping.

Of course as I stated many times, I've been out of collecting the toys for roughly a decade, and just started up again with CW/UW. The Universe toys always appealed to me though obviously often because of their homages to the original series. I almost got some FoC toys, but resisted. I probably would have got Generations Metroplex had I ever seen him at retail, but CW is what finally brought me back. TR is a great looking line, but as I will be "back collecting" CW & UW for some time, I think my TR purchaees will be limited to Fort Max and maybe one or two select others. I'm a huge fan of the combination gimmick so while TR toys look awesome, there is no "gotta have em all" incentive for me.
I am not completely closed minded though...this may not be the right forum...but can anyone endorse a really good quality movie based toy? I have yet to see any, but then again I only have the fw examples of the ones my son had, which were not good.

They had multiples each of Battle Core Optimus Prime, Motormaster, Onslaught, and Scattershot at $14.99 each. Picked up BC Prime since I didn't see very many when he was first released and I already have regular Optimus, Motormaster, and Grand Scourge so may as well complete the set. I might go back for Onslaught another day. Worth checking out if your store sold out before.
The still had the two crushed Onslaughts from their first time stocking these, this time knocked down to $12.99.

Yea I go to a TJ Maxx near my office almost daily, and also noticed a huge restock of CW Voyagers this week. They had all the same figures you mentioned for the same price. A bunch of those figures are even cheaper on HTS though.
