Just went by my target and Voyagers are now $9.98 and Deluxes are $6.88. The exclusive 4-pack of Legends is now $9.99. This is for Cybertron and Classics, they are making room for the Movie preview figures.

Man, if I get a chance to hit a Target soon, I'd sure like to pick up another Classics Megatron to repaint in G1 Colors.

Just left my local Target, they had 3 Classics Mirage and one Classic Ramjet for 4.98 each, and 5 Classics Prime for 9.98 each.

And I paid 20+ tax for Prime.

This isn't just about clearing the shelves, it's also about getting Transformers in as many kiddies hands as possible before the movie hits. Especially kids that wouldn't ordinarily get them at full price.

I'm betting that's the strategy anyway. It's like when dealers sell the first hit cheap or give you a free sample.

Well, it is Target. I bet it's just about clearing the shelves, as this is pretty common for them.

Those prices are crazy, even for clearance prices. Cybertron and Classics Voyager are still selling at AU$45-AU$50...

The 4-pack has always been $9.99, also I wanted a classics bumblebee but I saw a Cliffjumper on sale and got it. Lol, that was the only TF they had besides 3 StarWarsTF.

Nice, I'm glad I waited. I had a feeling this would happen. Time to go Classics hunting. ;-)

Hopefully I can grab 4-5 Starscreams that I wanted for repaints.

Good luck with that. Word is, they're pretty scarce these days, especially since the botcon exclusives were announced. I've seen two in the last couple of months, and bought both to repaint them.
