Why is Takara "Fortress" pictured?

thats weird
i though it was 110

[fortmaxmike]

Already have a TT Fortress paid for on preorder from many months ago. But at 110.00, it's worth grabbing the US version--if only to compare them. Thanks for the tip--I'll let you know how it turns out!

does hasbro toy shop operate outside of the US?

Yeah but their shipping is insane.

According to the website when I check out "shipping address must be in the USA or Canada"

Canada is outside of the US.

Just pointing out that if I order a PAPER CLIP from HTS, this Canadian will be charged a 30$US base FedEx shipping fee. It increase $ after $ the more you add things. They also charge taxes. All in US$.

Just imagine what they would charge if they'd ship oversea.

Now. Now. No need for name calling Allenspurs.

Thank you. Carry on.

I finally jumped on Ultra Magnus, because I still had that 20% off discount from the new newsletter. I can't wait for him to arrive. A long-awaited bot, to say the least.

[Kurona]

So this is pretty hilarious.


Anyway, Wave 1 TR Deluxes are reduced to the same 10$ price tag on amazon US as they are in wal-mart.

[o.supreme]

odd...CW for all their mold reuse very rarely had price discounts. TR has been on shelves for what? 3-4 months, wave 2 has not hit all localities yet, and with mostly all unique molds, there are massive discounts...

[D-Maximal_Primal]

Speaking of CW, Computron fell back down to a flat $72. Next time he does a duck (probs somewhere around black friday/cyber monday hopefully) I'll nab him. Got some other stuff on there as well that I need to buy but I want to do all at once.

Also. curious: The IDW Transformers (edRID) comics have barely gone down in price, yet every other transformers TPB released has dropped pretty substantially. Why?

Because they are still hot.

And man, if any of you play the stock market, its like this thing with Amazon and Computron but 1000 times more stakes. A judgement call I made last week now made me lose a potential gain of seven thousand dollars

The Holiday season sales have started! Today we were pointed toward some new toy sales from the
Kmart Australia Holiday toy catalogue by user and almighty Admin Burn that span multiple Transformers lines, from Combiner Wars, to Rescue Bots, to Titans Return. Check out the advert for the sale below, including specials on the Combiner Wars G2 Bruticus set, and Titans Return Deluxes and Voyagers. Transformers have been strangely absent from most store's holiday catalogues this year, so it's refreshing to finally see a full-page ad from a major retailer.

Tell us in the comments below if you jumped on any of these specials, and if you find any Transformers sales in the coming days, please send them our way via our Contact page!

I have a question. Is Masterpiece Wheeljack for under $60 a good deal? The catch is that it's from 3P sellers on Amazon without Prime shipping. It looks like most, if not all, of the 3P sellers are based in Japan. The cheapest one is $53.43 with estimated delivery of 12/20-1/18. And since it's not Prime, it's a bit more of a hassle in the event there are issues. If it's Prime, Amazon takes care of you like they sold it. If not, they make you deal with the seller before they step in. What do you guys think? Anything else I should be wary of?

While they make you deal with the seller first, you still have all that amazon service behind it all, making sure it all works out. It reminds me a lot of e-bay. I bought stuff that wasnt using prime and while I did talk with the seller first, when I realized it wasnt going anywhere I called amazon, they stepped in and I got my money back the next day. So you do have that security no matter what.

And Yes MP Wheeljack for under $60 is a good price. Its even better than if you imported it yourself from Japan at their lowest price possible (which would be $60).

Also, unlike other MPs, he is easy to tell if KO'd since by the time he came out, the KO company wrote Takasa Tony on the box for easier idetification.

I wish you all the best in this purhase of what I find to be the best MP figure.

[Bumblebee21]

i think there was another ko with takara tomy on it.
idk because i have takasa tony

Those are the slowest shipping dates. I've ordered like that before off of Amazon, and it does take that long.

UPDATE: He arrived!! And he's glorious. The way he goes from thin, small truck to large, chunky robot is amazing. And for a cool $22 with shipping, ($15 without) he's even better. Picture time!



Croquet happens to be one of Magnus' favorite passtimes. No one is brave enough to tell him he has terrible form.




The obligatory spin on the headmaster-with-bot-in-background shot I'm becoming to be known for.



I'll be posting more over on the Pictures and poses thread here in a minute, so head over if you wanna see more.

Funny how target jacked up the price of the Seeker set just for this sale

Funny how target jacked up the price of the Seeker set just for this sale

That's why when I see something on "sale", I always look at how much the thing go for elsewhere. To see if the sale is genuine or total bull.

RIGHT NOW, I HAVE A HEGEMON FOR SALE! ONLY 100$! THAT'S 99% OFF THE REGULAR 10000$ PRICE!
ACT NOW!

Also, I've seen many sites where they put something on "sale" and it's either 0% off or 1$ off (of something that is expensive). Just to slap the "sale" label and to put the price in shiny red. Who fall for such tactics?

The Transformers Collectors Club started its Black Friday sale yesterday.

The website sucks. It's not that great at the store either, but there are gems to be had. While the RiD warriors were $17.99, they did have TR deluxes for $9.99. So 30% off that is a sweet deal.
