While at on of my local Targets in Marietta, Georgia today, I came across the movie Preview Starscream and Optimus Prime figures. They had several of each. Also, all of the Classics, and other existing figures, were on clearance.

I don't know if this is old news or not, but I was surprised when I saw them today! :grin:

Sadly, that is not the case in mid-Michigan.

EDIT: Sadly, I was refering more to the movie preview figures than the classics :)

Saw Classics on clearance at two Targets in Northwest Chicago.

Also scored the movie preview figures at K-Mart on Addison.

The way you phrased the topic, I thought the movie preview figures were on clearance already. That seemed pretty fast to me. ^_^

Anyhow, I was in the target in Westminster, Maryland, and saw no movie preview figures. Not that I mind, I got impatient and ordered mine from Hasbro Toy Shop, so they arrived on my doorstep yesterday. I like them.

I was just in my local K-Mart, which sucks, and they had what looked like 20+ Previews sitting on the top shelf, 10.99. I was going to pick them up, but alas, I was low on cash.

Neither do the protoform figures. They're exclusive to Wal-Mart.

Every Target I have gone to in Michigan today (several over a 100 mile radius) have deluxe classics for $6.98 and voyager classics for $13.98.

I've given up on the Target and Wal-mart in and near Bowie,MD. Target seems to be phaseing out all TF figures and Wal-mart has 3 Metroplex, a few Titaniums and a bunch of Mirage and Cliffjumpers

Are you saying that the protoform figures are exclusive to Wal-Mart or the Classics Constructicon/Devestator set?

The Constructicons/Devestator are indeed a Wal-Mart exclusive. The movie protoform figures will be/are available everywhere, and are at, at least, two of my Targets right now.

Well, at the Targets I visited, it's very clear who the least-favorite Classics figure was, in general:
Mirage.
There's still several of him left. Of course, there are minicons, Primes, and the Prime v. Megs two-pack left as well, but of those I'm only counting Prime, and they made what, a million of him? The rest are gone.

Yeah, most of the TRUs, Targets, and Wal-Marts near me all have them now. Target is no longer special (especially since it's after May 1st).

It seems they may have dropped the price again!!!

I picked up a classic Mirage for only $4.98, in Clinton Twp,MI

The problem is they dont have much left....I am going to try and hit some other targets in my area today...

EDIT: the $4.98 price tag was over a $6.98 tag...

People complaining about the previews not being on clearance should count themselves lucky they can find them at all!
I live in England so probably won't be able to find the protos in the shops until a couple of years after the film has come out... and even then, they'll probably be overpriced...

I haven't seen them on clearance yet. It would be a little soon and only a result of a store screwing up, but it has happened before (namely with Primus).
