You guys should jump on these prices because this is the kind of stuff that small business owners look for. Those Kingdom Rodimus Primes look really tempting at those prices to stock up for my store. I see his price going up in the future!

Yeah for sure, that's the ultimate Rodimus toy right there. Any fan getting into collecting in the next few years will definitely want it.

Not at all, how could they when two weeks before Thanksgiving a ton of new stuff dropped.

I'm super annoyed because a lot of stuff that came in stock over the past few weeks got added to their sale today, and it irks me that some stuff went on sale so soon after coming in stock. It's making me rethink the preorder process

You're not alone, a LOT of people have a bad taste in their mouths after the last month or so. You'd faint if you knew how much I got hit for in a five day period. The flipside is that you run the risk of missing out on the figure you really want.

"Hey that's a pretty good deal"...even though they had nothing I wanted, I believe Generations voyagers were on sale for $23 (My local store had lots of AoE Galvatron, and SS86 Ironhide, so a great opportunity to get those new items at a discount), and Leaders I *think* were $35. The SS86 Screamers were finally gone, but the Galvatrons were still there. Now they just need to do something to clear out all the old Buzzworhty stuff clogging shelves.
My local stores have long since sold out of Red Cog, but you can get him on sale online for $22. So basically regular prince now, without the exclusivity markup.

Woaho, so those starscreams did sell finally, nice. I wonder if our friend Soundwave still sees that pile of them at his store or not.
By the way, the markup for Cog isn't for his exclusive status, he comes with a bunch of accessories making him a weapons pack of sorts.

It's cool that you could have taken advantage of the sale if you wanted to, my local store got wiped out on Black Friday, maybe I'll check again Friday and see if they restocked. I saw the sale in the flier for this week, but when I checked online it said the only thing that was part of the sale was Red Cog. The photo in the ad was of SS Blitzwing so I just sort of wrote the whole thing off. Man, the selection at Target.com is pretty dire.

My Target didn't get anything new for the holidays yet in TFs, the same SS86/Buzzworthy Kups are still there, along with several Galvatrons, Dinobots, terrorsaurs, and a few of the cyberverse 3-packs

were there really good deals for black friday on TFs at target? Or they just all got picked up as part of the holiday shopping kick off
Posted by o.supreme on December 2nd, 2022 @ 11:38am CST
I'm just excited about the prospect of possibly seeing Sludge now that all those Coronation Screamers'are finally gone, at least from some Targets in my area.

SCORE!
2 PIPES
2 SLAMMERS (NOT in the News story BTW)
BOOYAW!
PS.
saw Scorponok, but left him.

I saw your photo. Apparently nobody, and I mean NOBODY, likes the yellow ranger, huh?

The highlighted prices were $8.99 USD for the Walmart exclusive retro Headmasters and $16.99 USD for the Walmart exclusive Sparkless Seeker. Looks like Studio Series Perceptor was found as well. If you have a Ross near you, could be a good time to check it out. Also, looking at this situation, it wouldn't be a surprise if we see Cosmos at Ross for a similar price to these deluxes two years from now.

Just wish that joint wasn't so thin at all. If not for that, Wierdwolf was actually our favourite figure.
Anybody know if the retro Skullcruncher has bad legs too? Can't remember if it was widespread on the original TR release or we were just really unlucky, but ours has super floppy hip and knee joints on both legs

Unfortunately, Hardhead is in both of those sets on bbts. Is there an easy custom to convert Hardhead into a different character/figure?

I had the opposite issue, wave 1 came and went with one sighting from me while wave 2 lingered through two toy department resets.

That's the point, all these toys we see at Ross never made it to shelves. Instead, they remained in a walmart warehouse and were only dumped to a wholesaler when they had to make space for the 2023 reset.

It was widespread on the original release and it was fixed on the new one.

- Weirdwolf's cockpit hinge breaking from constant stress
- Mindwipe's wings deteriorating and breaking off
- Skullcruncher's wonky legs, cockpit panel and now the teeth making the mouth jam up
Prices are a steal, so I'm tempted despite that. Any sightings of Sparkless' wave mate Primal?

Like him or not, this is a 'steal of a deal'! It says 'weekend sale', which means it could end Feb. 26 (or sooner) and you may only have a couple of days to avail yourself of this bargain price! Move swiftly, mortals!
Posted by o.supreme on February 24th, 2023 @ 4:46pm CST
That is a great deal. If the Ab Crunch on him wasn't the worst thing ever, rendering him nearly unposeable I'd say go for it.
Posted by Sabrblade on February 25th, 2023 @ 1:00am CST
Don't feel too bad. With the addition of the $4 shipping cost and the sales tax, my total came out to $111, almost $112 when you round up the change. Not too far below your $117 total.o.supreme wrote:Dang....makes the $117 I paid through Target discount stacking look like a ripoff my comparison. .

Basically for the next 2 weeks (or until items sell out) Premium members can save 35%, and non Premium members 30% (with minimum purchase of $75 to qualify either way) on select items.
Unfortunately there's only one TF item I might consider purchasing, but its nowhere near the $75 threshold, and I'm not purchasing extra items unnecessarily just to get it.
I'm guessing other items may be added as time goes on. I noticed Cybertron Metroplex is still in stock at full price (despite being on sale at half off on eBay recently) I'd be very surprised if that wasnt added in the coming days.
Current list specifically of Transformers:
