Is anyone of you coming to the EU soon? Like for example to Spiel Essen 2016 (for the boardgamers here)?
Or to the Netherlands or Belgium? Shipping Vicky here makes het €100,- total, which is more than I'm willing to spend on her. But about €50,- would be great! And at her current amazon price she's about €40,- or less even! If anyone is willing to bring a set along, that'd be awesome. Small chance though, I know.

For those not in the know, Victorion has been dropping in price at Amazon.

Lucky Logician reached out to us to let us know what's going on:

Not sure why, but there is a second listing for Victorion on Amazon. And instead of the normal price of $72, it is only $42.83 currently. It is fulfilled by Amazon. The only difference is it takes additional time to process/ship out. I just bought one and it says it is due to arrive Friday as opposed to a normal Wednesday for 2 day shipping.

You can find the deal here where she is currently $42.49: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0198 ... UTF8&psc=1

That si over 50% off. If you are still on the fence, you can check out the gallery here.

It's been sitting at $42.49 for quite some time now so I think the gradual decrease is over, or it's not going to go down as often as it was.

still not worth it.

Mine showed up today. I ordered on Saturday, and it arrived today. Normal 2-day Prime action.
I bought at $48 as I had no idea the price would do this crazy dance it's done. I'm OK with it as I still think it was a helluva good deal.

she arrived packed in a case box, and the actual box is in great shape. so to anyone worried these might be from a lot of damaged goods or below grade, at first inspection she seems like top notch merch. Haven't opened her yet. That will have to wait.

I still think Hasbro, TRU, or another larger distributor is behind this listing.

News Credits: 16 · by **It Is Him** » Tue Sep 20, 2016 10:48 am

$48 is still a great price, and so is the $45 or so I paid. Once I pay for something, I'd rather not go back and wonder what if

I bought the first 2 G2 sets and Victorion when they initially came out, for just under $100 each. I sold the G2 sets when I determined in my mind that Hasbro was not going to do a Defensor (I don't like incomplete releases), and thankfully sold both Suprion & Menasor for the same price I bought them. I decided to open my Victorion set, so I wont be selling it.

I just wonder, as it seems retailers are trying to unload G2 Superion, G2 Menasor & Victorion en masse, if the same will happen with Computron? (I really don't care about Fruiticus, because I'm not collecting G2 sets, and it seems to be popular enough on its own) but did Hasbro notice a trend that its CW box sets were not selling in the volumes they hoped...so they did not produce as many Computrons? I'm hoping that is not the case...but I guess we'll see.

Notice on the check out screen for the Victorion that is $72 says Hasbro. The Victorion for $42.49 says Hasbro import. This might have something to do with the price, whatever that may entail.

Where's the people who defended this junk gone? :lol:

I think he was talking specifically about Victorion, especially since a news post went up about her a few hours ago.

I don't think she is mind. She looks great and I can't wait to get her at the end of the month

Yes victorion is junk.

I think everyone excited to buy her now is a good indication that she has a lot of defenders

Sweet!

With the 15$ gift card I'd been holding onto, I just got these ladies for $37! (damn tax and shipping for using up most of the gift card.

I was waiting for exactly this kind of a discount to get them.

Happy dance!

Thanks for newsing this! I ordered mine a couple of hours ago now. It's an absolute BARGAIN at that price!

I'm glad I waited all this time.

Will, were you waiting for the price to bottom out before you newsed? It has BTW. It has been sitting pretty at $42 now all day.

I ask, because the last 2 pages or so we have been giving real time play by play of the "Magic Price Dance" since it started. :lol:

Thats why I didnt news it, it felt everyone knew about it. But when we started getting e-mails from outside people, it looked like not everyone knew.

News Credits: 191 · by **Kurona** » Tue Sep 20, 2016 1:52 pm

Well now if it's settled at 42$ I don't feel bad at buying it at 48$ before.

Well I didn't anyway because holy hell Victorion at 48$, but now the nagging voice at the back of my head whining about how I should have waited isn't quite as loud.

... could've saved enough money for a pizza though.

Amazon has a bunch of TFs listed as lightening deals today. It's across the board: CW (Victorion and some deluxes), TR (deluxes), as well as Platinum (Trypticon, Ops/Megs, triple changers), G2 Brut. This could explain why Victorion hasn't dropped in price anymore. Wouldn't surprise me to see Victorion drop to $29.99 for this lightening deal.

FYI, I remember Trypticon dropping to around $100 during the last time it was offered as a lightening deal. Don't think a lot of people jumped on it though, maybe cause it was around the time Trypticon won the fan poll?
