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.

Whatever happened to rest of the Universe Special Edition figures? I thought they were going to do at least 2 more.

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.)

WOW! this is good new and glad to hear it, even though i already have Overkill and Dragstrip (bought these when HTS had the 25% off with free shipping) hopefully i can find HTS Universe Megatron, he's the only one i need now...

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.

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!

Wow $9.99 usd
Here in the Philippines you'll see plenty of those things.
You'll even be tired of seeing Dragstrip.
I got Optimus. He is so cool.
He costs for about p800 php or $17.46 uhd
But only bought him for p600 php or $13.10 uhd.
You'll see them in malls like SM

Thanks homie !!! I got lucky today at Mall of the Americas and found the only Dragstrip. If I see another Overkill Ill be sure to send you a message with the location. I found only one Overkill at Marshalls on Mirimar Parkway off I-75. Marshalls Hialeah 49th St and 163rd st mall in North Miami didnt have nothing so dont make the trip that way.
Peace

I went to the local Marshalls and they got nothing. I find it hard to believe you can find toys there, since they only have one shelf (seriously).. one shelf of toys just thrown around and opened.

No luck for the special editions but I did find the classics Optimus vs Megatron 2 pack. I hope it's just mine but the Deluxe Optimus for the Classics line is absolute ass. The feature where he punches makes his top half impossible to snap in place and makes for a horrible figure.

I struck out at my closest Marshall's yesterday as well. Going to their toy department is a lot like going to a lot of other secondary toy retailers such as Family Dollar or Ollie's. If you go in there looking for a certain thing you're likely to be disappointed but you can get some incredible steals with some luck and a lot of them are things you couldn't even find at regular retail when you tried.
And yeah, usually the stuff is all thrown around so you really have to look, look and look again to uncover it sometimes.

I picked up OP and Megs at a Marshalls yesterday. I love the packaging on them! In fact, I opened them, but will be displaying them in the box.
Of the 4 figures, I really only set out to buy Dragstrip. Unfortunately he was not at any of the 3 Marshalls I visited.

The problems with this Prime appear across the board. He's really fragile, and falls apart easily.
