Ditto here. They had a similar sale 2 weeks ago but nothing I still wanted except a couple ROTF legends. None in my area have Mindwipe or Bludgeon yet, so why bother?

Now some Easter baskets in Meijers on the other hand have a 4-pack of some VERY intersting simplified flip-changer KOs, one of which is a red or black helicoper with pressure-missile arms that I just can't place. Someone I showed it to suggested it was a shrunken Energon Quickstrike/Bulkhead, but it could just as easily be an original sculpt. Comes with some Robot Master weapons, including a scythe! Was there a RM scythe?! The hooligan in Jetfire colors is also symmetrical, with pressure claws on both arms, but they can't actually fire the included projectiles, his wings can't move, and the flip-gears from olive Megatron/plex and red Thunder/warp have been removed. Still, they're cooler than the white/purple Darkwing from last Easter.

Heh-heh, hey, I'm not endorsing buying KOs, just wondering if anyone here knows what the deal is with the copter and the scythe. Certainly hit the legit TRU sale instead, by all means.

One day only huh? All my TRU had was 2 Animated Freeway Jazz's and nothing in the stock room... Here's an idea, if you are gonna have a sale on something, you might wanna have it in stock.... just sayin'!

Tell me about it. TRU had a sale, I dunno, like 6 months ago. All voyagers were 10.49. Of course I go there around 10am. And the shelves are empty. I ask the lady in that section, she said, "we had in alot of people over night stocking the shelves," blah blah blah. First of all, I know there aren't any collectors in my area as anytime something comes through, I can get it anytime I want. Second of all, I highly doubt mothers were camping out to get in on this deal as when I was in the store, there was no one even near the action figure section.

This would be cool if TRU actually had something worth buying. I swear TRU is that worst at keeping things stocked and organized.

Same here. Im just going to see what they have

The TRU I go to has plenty of stock. The problem is it's a ton of Wheelies, Skids', a few Chromias, and more of their exclusives than any mortal can comprehend.

My TRU is way ahead of your guys'...mine has fully stocked pegs of Tuner Mudflap! I don't know if they even got a shipment of Arcee yet, if they get it at all...

Hopefully this will help thin out the graveyard of RotF exclusives that most people don't want or have passed on. With all that **** clogging up the shelves its no wonder hardly anything new ever gets stocked

I scored big on this one:

You see, the Toys R Us I went to had a sign up that simply said "50 percent off all Transfomers." Nothing about buy one at full price, etc.

They "also" had a sign up saying that the Ultra Classics were on clearance for $14.98 (they didn't mean to have the Toys R Us exclusive figures on that shelf).

So, I was able to snag animated Lugnut, animated Jazz, animated Snarl, and Universe Dreadwind... for a total of $34.42, tax included. The same price I "would" have paid, if I bought Dreadwind alone at full price.

I felt quite victorious.

Yeah, Mine has all of the NEST alliance deluxes, but who the hell wants that? They're just repaints of other mediocre figs...

I know, those exclusive are terrible. They stuff two or three crappy figures in a box then charge the same price they'd be if you bought them individually.
