You know what, my town needs a **** Ollie's already

No! My town FIRST!!!

Deal, let's shake on it

At least you live in an area that can support an Ollie's

I'm not sure how to take that.
Why couldn't New York support an Ollie's? It's the biggest city in the land! It's also East of the Mississippi, which seems to be their domain.

[o.supreme]

Not sure because I don't live there, but if Ollie's is like say...Family Dollar or Dollar General, they flourish in suburbs and more rural areas, but in the "Big City" they really cant survive. It's odd because I live in the burbs', but rural country is about 15 miles east of me, and "Big City" about 15 miles west...go figure.

I live in a more economically depressed area that can only afford 99¢ stores.

Didn't work on SDCC Bumblebee (wasn't expecting it to) but also didn't work on the little prime masters (Octopunch, Bludgeon, etc.). Errr... okay...

[o.supreme]

ok, that is complete BS...not only does the labor day code not work on anything beyond wave 1 of PotP, but even the individual 20% off code HTS sent me (for botching up the first throne order) doesn't work either. The only thing I want is Predaking, and no way I'm paying $160 for it. 20% off is a decent start, but if the codes don't work, what's the point?...

[Megatron Wolf]

Is the target sale online only?

[Emerje]

I really miss the old HTS sales that were just 20% off and free shipping on everything, no limits or minimums.

target also has CW Computron. It doesn't have the right name, but the description says it is Computron.

Ha! "Battle Action Role Play Figure Transformers" that's a description that matches Hasbro's stock photography skills.

That promo has me tempted to get Victorion.

If you don't have victorion yet, jump. She's great, and this is a pretty good price.

Fellow Seibertronian Emerje has sent along a notification about retail chain Target and their latest sale offer: spend $50 on toys and save $10, spend $100 and save $25; plus, you still get free shipping on orders $35! We also have confirmation that the offer works on both Target.com and in the brick and mortar store, for those wondering.

As Emerje says:

Target Exclusive Greatest Hits Bumblebee Cassette Pack and Soundwave are both in stock as well as Power Charge Bumblebee and Tiny Turbo Changers wave 3 among other things. There's a good opportunity to save a lot depending on what you're buying.

So head over to the site or your nearest store, and pick up some new (or old) toys you're after!

The shops are gearing up for the holiday season, and so are discount and liquidator chains! Ross has put the next load of TF merchandise on their shelves:

First is the TLK AllSpark Tech range, with both starters and standalone figures represented:

RossAllSpark1.jpg

Most notably, the seemingly elusive Sqweeks makes an appearance. Take note he does not transform:

The Starter Packs, with the regular Optimus and Shadow Spark versions as well as Sqweeks, are $8.99

...while the standalones are $6.99

Next up are the RiD 2015 Combiner Force 3-Step Changers, with Optimus Prime, Power Surge Bumblebee and Soundwave:

... priced at $9.99. No sign of Steeljaw, Thunderhoof or Grimlock.

One of our very own Seibertronians, JelZe GoldRabbit, made a quick trip to Ross the other day. Not only did she discover many Transformer toys one sale, such as RID 3 Step Changers. But the most important thing she found was the elusive The Last Knight Allspark Tech Sqweeks! The small scooterbot was never reported at main, brick and mortar retail, and has finally started popping up at the market 3 level. Keep in mind though, he, as with most of the allspark tech range, is non-transforming. Check out her entire post below for the photographic evidence!

Minor correction: the AllSpark Tech range does transform, though very simplistically. It's just Sqweeks that doesn't, though that is accurate to the movie

Ah, thanks! I thought it was just the Optimus-sized figures that do. I obviously don't collect them.

Was Legion Dragonstorm the one that never showed up in the US? Seems he's showing up at Five Below and is currently available on the web store for $3 (only 5 left). Worth checking out for what I've heard is one of the best Legions ever.

Their dragon mode photo is laughably bad.

Go home, Dragonstorm. Y'all are drunk.

If anyone is curious to see how good both modes can look, here is a link to a nice pictorial review

He and Hound have shown up at Ross too. My Five Below still has the TLK One-Steps.

Can verify TJ Maxx is stocking the Allspark figs too. My local one had two Megatrons and the Shadow Spark Optimus.

My Ross did not however they are still stocking the later wave TLK deluxes. A worker put out a Wave 3 ‘bee and a Strafe. If interested this is the Ross on Hwy 378 in Lexington SC. Go grab ‘em.
