More amazing Amazon.com deals: Transformers Studio Series and MPM-5 Barricade

I’ve been on the fence for a while with MPM Barricade, but that’s a good deal so I caved. And not to brag, but I’m gonna brag a bit here; I have Amazon Rewards points, so I was able to score him for $42 and change!

Oh dude, I do a TON of surveys so I get figures for pennies on the dollar on Amazon.

Oh man, MPM Barricade is $46 right NOW on Amazon!!

I KNOW! I COULDVE SAVED SIX BUCKS!

I've already bought my Christmas Transformers- FT Quakewave and MMC Knight Morpher Screecher, so I couldn't get Barricade here for Christmas- I mean, I *could*, but have to set a good example for the kids. And wife said no.

But I CAN have him for my wedding anniversary in Feb. So he'll be here in 2 days but will have to stay boxed for 2 months. *happy dance*

I'm curious to see how much lower he'll go.

Pretty handy with Siege hitting stores.

Augh, I could have used that yesterday...

Just take the items and your receipt back into Target and they should honor it.

What, with two of the items opened?

ZeldaTheSwordsman wrote:What, with two of the items opened?

Yeah, because you arent really returning them. It would help if you still have the packaging or the packaging of other toys in that class (just so they can get the barcode).

The idea is that they would be price matching the current deal. I dont know how Target will do it, but Walmart (in Canada) will do like you are returning the items and buying them again at the same time. But since this time there is a deal, you are reimbursed some money. So them being opened doesnt really matter since you are still taking those opened items back home with you.

My wife does this all the time. I'm not even sure you need the original bar codes. My wife takes the receipt and coupons of items that I either forgot to use or she had and I didn't. She, on average, saves about $5 a trip I make to Target just by going back to customer service.

I wish I liked couponing more...

Actually, double-checking that my purchases wouldn't have qualified. I misread the amounts the discount was applicable to.

Do you have the packaging still? Absolutely they would help you out.

Dude, couponing is the best. You know that ridiculous HTS deal you yanks just got for Siege deluxes? That is what couponing gives me for almost all my purchases.

Here is how much I spent on all my POTP deluxes and ALL my SS voyagers:



And it in canadian dollars. So before tax that means that each of my POTP deluxes cost me $7 USD and each of my SS voyagers cost me $15 USD each. Of course you can see the extreme coupioing going on in those receipts.

Plus there was this ridiculous deal for 2 SS deluxes and voyager Inferno where I only paid $20 USD (excluding taxes) for all three, basically making Inferno free (while still scoring deals on the SS deluxes).

Carytheone gave us a nice tip on the forums. Right now, there is a coupon which gives you a 25$ return for a purchase of $100 or more on toys, which is coming in real handy with Siege hitting Target stores.

And for those who already made a $100+ purchase recently, you can always bring in your receipt to have Target honour the new deal. For those unsure about how that works, the idea is that they would be price matching the current deal.They will do like you are returning the items and buying them again at the same time. But since this time there is a deal, you are reimbursed some money. So even if those are opened, it should not matter since you are still taking those opened items back home with you. Of course you need your receipt for that (it's crucial) and bringing any packaging you have could help them identify the toy (less crucial).

We hope that helps! Scan the image below to get your $25 Off coupon.

Time to get that Unicronus and/or Rodimus!

$25 off $107 worth of Siege? YES PLEASE, though one of my local Targets had Siege and no sign and the other had the sign but no Siege. Good thing i kept my receipt!

Hardly worth mentioning, but Kohl's is doing 10% off Transformers toys today (and yesterday), but the catch is that they never seem to have any Transformers in their store and the only one on the site is Super Bumblebee.

ToysRus used to have that exact same approach to TF promos.

Yeah, no kidding. One of the many reasons why I really don't miss TRU.

Oh, and I forgot a deal this week that actually will be useful to some people here: 10% of all trading cards at Target this week including the Transformers TCG.

For those of you who have been on the fence about the Transformers vintage G1 Hot Rod reissue action figure available exclusively at Walmart, now might be your best chance to get one for your collection. Hot Rod is currently available on Walmart.com for a mere $14.97, about 50% off of the original $29.84 MSRP. Special thanks to fellow Seibertronian boyatlarge for sharing this information with us.

This Autobot Hot Rod figure comes with photon laser cannons and converts between racecar and robot modes in 6 steps. Clip out and save the on-box tech specs to share, then see how this figure compares to other heroic Autobots and evil Decepticons (each sold separately).

• Change from Racecar to Robot
• Recreation of 1986 Release
• Function: Cavalier

Experience the figures that started it all. This Transformers: Vintage G1 Autobot Hot Rod figure is designed like the original G1 version -- including figure styling, packaging, and art inspired by the 1986 G1 release, plus classic tech specs and accessories. (Re)start a vintage Transformers collection with this Autobot Hot Rod figure!

Nice, ordered one to pick up tomorrow.

That's what I paid for thanks to a pricing error when it was first released.

You're welcome, since I first posted about this on Instagram!

Speaking of which, Walmart has a whole bunch of the Studio Series figures on Rollback, just picked up the Leader Class Grimlock on Walmart.com for $26.39!! They also have the 1st Movie Starscream for $17.99, Lockdown for $11.92, Ratchet for $10.36 and Crowbar for $9.59!

Guess what!? Transformers G1 Vintage Hot Rod has been discounted even further on Walmart.com! He's now going for $12.97 at Walmart.com! You don't have to pay for shipping either if you choose the "Pick Up In Store" option at checkout. I got my G1 Hot Rod yesterday, but paid $14.97. I love him. He's a great value at that price, but an absolute STEAL at $12.97, honestly. You can order Hot Rod by clicking on any of the images below.

Great price but I already have so many versions do I need to get another? I considered getting it as a gift but idk

I have one Hot Rod that I messed up trying to articubash, and I can't even find where I put him to attempt restoration, so I'm very interested.

I went to the store looking for BotBots and they price-matched Hot Rod without a fuss.

Fellow Seibertronians! Are you thinking Transformers? Are you thinking Studio Series? Are you thinking discounts!? Then you should DEFINITATELY be thinking GEEK!

According to our own Megatronus (of Twincast fame!), it looks like some ThinkGeek stores are discounting their wave 1 and 2 Voyager and Deluxe Class Studio Series Decepticons. They were marked down to $16.97 and 25.97, respectively, and with the additional 50% off clearance items. The regular MSRP for Studio Series Deluxes is $19.99 USD and for Voyagers $29.99 USD. Megatronus was able to purchase deluxe Crowbar (wave 1) for all of $8.49, and voyagers Starscream (wave 1), Brawl (wave 2), and Megatron (wave 2) for $12.99 each! Keep in mind that Deluxe wave 1 also includes Stinger and Deluxe wave 2 also includes Lockdown.

Megatronus asked if GameStop was having a similar promotion, since GameStop owns Thinkgeek, but the employees drew a distinction between the two retailers when it comes to these kinds of clearance sales.





Have you been waiting to push the button on the Studio Series line? Will this deep discount from Think Geek be enough for you to make a purchase? Let us know in the comments below, and stay tuned to Seibertron.com for all the latest news on everything Transformers!

What? There's no transformers on think geek.

The stores, not the website.

This might be old news now, but the sale of Hot Rod can be used in store, but, you have to have the page of walmart.com up on your phone (or whatever device you use) so that the cashier can see it. It took a manager to confirm it was the same item, but they did honor the walmart.com price of $12.97 in store.

I went to my local thinkgeek and no luck. They were on clearance but no 50 percent off sale.

I did the same thing, Fires. To much chagrin.

I just went through this too. Apparently Walmart is only price matching their own website. It still took many minutes before the sales associate I was working with confirmed they are the same item...

Spare yourselves the hassle of employees who aren't in the know. Just order Hot Rod directly from Walmart.com, choose "Pick-Up in Store" instead of shipping, choose a store in your area (trust me, they'll have Roddy in stock), wait for the "ready for pick-up" notice in your email, then go to the store's pick-up lounge and sign in to the kiosk. It'll save you a LOT of time and patience, believe me.

Right. I was just taking advantage of an opportunity of passing by. I hadn't been sure I was going to buy one. (I have a G1 Hot Rod.) Part of it was the price, part of it was getting one in my hand at the store. I thought it would be no big deal to price match.

I guess Walmart has been dealing with a lot of price abuse...

Or the employees are just stupid.

I mean, Wal-Mart doesn’t exactly hire the cream of the crop.

Ebay has a new 15% off code. PICKUPSALE

What's it good for?

ZeldaTheSwordsman wrote:What's it good for?

15% off anything but "tech". So all transformers are 15% off. So HTS ebay discount would stack with this disount. Max is $75.
