Reports are coming in that the Hasbro Toy Shop exclusive special edition Universe figures are being sighted at Marshalls stores.

4Chan board poster optimus2575 has posted images of the figures in the stores. All four figures of Optimus Prime, Megatron, Dragstrip and Overkill have been seen with a price point of $9.99 USD, making them six dollars less then they were originally available at HTS.com.

9.99 USD is amazing for Deluxe figures. These were selling for $15.99 USD on Hasbro Toy Shops site and only available there, which is why I put it on the front page.

Yeah, it's just one of those things for America, like, you know, toilets flushing clockwise and stuff.

Marshall's is actually a great place to buy toys. They actually have gotten some other exclusives in the past, such as the Toys R US GI Joe Senior ranking officer 3-packs. I even found the fairly rare GI Joe Arise, Serpentor Arise DVD pack there.

I think Ross stores sometimes get the same stuff so maybe that might be worth checking, also.

Those were great repaints IMO. This is cool for folks who don't already have them. It is kind of a shame there weren't more considering two of the four were characters we already got. I certainly would have been interested and most likely would have bought them.

Yes this is good. You'd be $6 + shipping to buy it from Marshalls. That's even a dollar better than the current SRP for what I'd call "mass market" deluxe class figures. (There was a time when $9.99 was the MSRP for deluxe-class... but I think that actually ended with Animated.)

My vote for the HOF goes to my favorite Transformer, Kup, to the Headmasters (who still need new figures that aren't just the characters without their master components) and to seibertron.com for for being the ultimate TF resource.

Hopefully need as in need to complete the collection, but the Megatron is a big disappointment in my eyes. It just looks so blah. Tank mode is the only part that looks good.

I feel bad for anyone who paid $30 for any of these special edition figs.

Just picked up Drag Strip and Overkill today. Had to go to two different Marshall's to find them though. Great figures the pair of them.

If you have a Marshall's and see these, GET THEM. I'm not big fan of the Optimus and Megatron, but for 9 bucks for special editions?!
Drag Strip and Overkill are <3 <3 <3 though!
