The only one that vaguely appeals is maybe "Galactic Man" Shockwave. But even that's a tough sell, because regular Siege Shockwave is perfectly fine....

although none of these appeal to me, or I already have them, it's better than last year when there were no Transformers deals for Prime Day at all...

Ordered Reissue Blaster and SS Skipjack off Walmart.com. Kev pointed out Blaster being $20, but Skipjack is only $18.47.

Only thing I got off Amazon is the G1 Nano die cast 3 pack which has a Prime Day price of $5.99

I already have the Target Bumblebee set so I didn't get anything from there.

I'm surprised to hear that, even Japan is doing Prime Day.

Nothing particularly interesting. Only Transformers deal I could find was Blu-rays. Their Prime Day page is here. You can get Amazon Prime from Japan, I had it for a little while, but found it pretty useless even at around $5 a month. Only wanted it for music, maybe I should look up a guide sometime to see how to make it work (aside from a VPN).

How bout having a discount on figures already overpriced, and difficult to get? No, they wouldn't dare do that.

Canada is holding back on reopening and still has strict distancing rules all companies must abide by. Thisevrestruct Amazon warehouses from having the added seasonal staff needed for Prime day.

I'm going to flip this thread for a minute and have a bit of a rant.

Some time ago, I pre-ordered the Galactic Odyssey two-pack - Ratchet and Lifeline - from Amazon US. I pre-ordered two, for some friends. Only $40 each (before shipping etc) I thought was quite good for two figures. Months later, on the figures release, Amazon US ship them over here. Their courier: UPS.

"In transit" for four days. First I chase UPS. They basically fob me off, the items are "lost" and they don't care. I contact Amazon US. They immediately offer me a refund. I state I don't want a refund, I want a reissue of my order. "Out of stock, indefinitely" is the general gist of the conversation I have with them. A bugbear of mine giving an exclusive to a company only with finite stock.

Ever since, I've been on the hunt for them. They are no longer $40....

^That, is sickening.

Just an example of one I found on the secondary market. You see normally, this wouldn't have bothered me. If UPS had stolen my order and Amazon were capable of honouring their supply of an exclusive. Instead, thanks to greedy and immoral, hoarding scalpers. My chances of finding these for a non-delusional price, are basically zero. Until Hasbro re-releases them. The other kind of Steal of a deal, I guess.

Ollie's has gotten their hands on a few waves of last year's Studio Series deluxe toys. They are selling them half price, so at $10. This brings us back to the glory days of $10 deluxes but with today's greater parts count. Some of the toys found so far include Roadbuster, Soundwave and the Arcee Sisters.
They also have Earthrise Snap Dragon for $15.99.
Let us know what else you find.

We thank Rotorstom and D-Max for the images.

Yeesh, so THAT'S why none of these ever showed up anywhere near my realm - they all wound up in this one store at "Ollies". They did see Snapdragon a couple times, but even looking at the pictures on the back of the box betrayed sub-standard engineering. Easy pass, that one.

They should have always been that price in the first place...

Apefaces all without faces...

I was thinking the same thing! But I felt that the scene was incomplete since they need a version of Prime's Airachnid that is dressed up like the Queen of Hearts. Or is that too much of a redundancy?

Which is a major bummer if you can't locate that darn Spasma in the box! Who am I kidding, my closest Ollie is one or two states north!

I was just at my Ollie's about 2 weeks ago & they didn't have anything. I saw this & just called them. They got these in this past Tuesday & most have already been wiped out. So typical! Luckily there is nothing I need. I still might head up there tomorrow to see if I can score a Soundwave.

I'm in the US. I also ordered 2 sets. Amazon NEVER SHIPPED THEM.

If anyone's looking for Studio Series Grindor, he's been going back and forth between $41 and $63 on Amazon. I grabbed one for $41 like 10 minutes ago, but now it's back to $63. If it's something you'd like to get, keep an eye out!

Just a heads up for you cool cats: at least at my store, all the Apeface heads were just rolling around on top of the body, so while they weren't visible there, they were all there (I checked).

They also had leaders, guess that pic didn't make it through. $25 Scavengers were very tempting

Ouch. Commiserations. Weirdly enough, I've read that a lot. Especially in the item reviews on Amazon.

However, although there was some mark up. I was able to get Ratchet & Lifeline at a more reasonable two figure sum. Exchange rates and all that, approximately £75. Yet I could only get one as these listings evaporated within 30 minutes. Looks like some who bought them in bulk have decided to be a bit less greedy.

Thanks to Seibertronian D-Maximal_Primal for letting us know that this week you can go to Ollies and try to nab yourself the Target exclusive Cyberverse Seeker Sinister Strikeforce for the low price of $19.99. That's half off the original price and works out to $5 per figure for the four pack, a great price if you can find it! If you're north of the boarder then you may recall this same set is also showing up at Winners in Canada for the equivalent of just a few dollars more at $29.99 CAD.



If you happen to find any amazing deals in store or online be sure to let us know in the Energon Pub forum or by contacting news staff directly through the link at the top of every page!

I even took pics Saturday at the Farmington Ollie's, but never got around to uploading them.

They also had tons of just 2 Rescue Bots: Hoist, and Indy-car Headwave.
