First in thanks to Seibertronian xRotorstormx we have news that an Ollie's in Lansing, MI has as of this writing Allspark Tech Starter Packs including Optimus Prime, Shadow Spark Optimus Prime, and Sqweeks! Just when you thought you'd seen the adorable little buddy with a killer right hook in every permutation possible this particular Sqweeks is seeing one of his rare appearances on US shores, at least the first we know of at an Ollie's. Sources say he has been spotted at other discount centers such as Ross but some find Ollie's a tad easier to navigate. You movie-verse completists out there will want to keep your optics peeled for this cool little item.
Also rolling in like a thunder cloud from this same Ollie's we have a sighting of Transformers Cyberverse Thundercracker! Awful hard to deny how sleek the blue color scheme looks on this new Seeker mold.
Thundercracker was $4.99 and the starter packs were $9.99
Then in a rather random sighting our own Podimus Prime ScottyP spotted Transformers Mighty Mugs which were previously only available online for only $3.99 each at a Raleigh, NC Ollie's.
Note in the picture below they only have series 1 with the four characters.
Most Ollie's typically receive the same or similar merchandise around the same time, so these sightings although far apart do indicate there's an interesting flow of Transformers merchandise hitting the brick and mortars.
What have you found? Be sure to let us know in the forum and stay tuned to Seibertron for the ultimate in Transformers news!

We got the Ollie's flyer in the mail today. Saw something of interest on the first page that hasn't been reported yet. We have 3 new stores in our area, will be going to at least one this week to see what I can find.Stargrave wrote:Deals at Ollie's
The Mighty Muggs aren't listed and that's the thing I'm hoping to find.

Poor, poor Liege Maximo, down to $1.20. Well, that's what you get for helping Shockwave kill off Alpha Trion I guess.

If it makes you feel better, you could spend more and get the verison for $4.50, which in this case, is literally just the language on the packaging.

They also had all the current Studio Series even two Jetfires two Leader Megatrons and even a Voyager SS Megatron.
Cyberverse in all classes including the larger scaled Megatrons and Primes but no Grimlock.
All stuff we’ve seen but I was like whoah K-Marts got more Transformers than my WalMart!

We’ve still got ours but honestly it’s on its last legs
It has been for a while. There was one in Paradise that made it through the fire but I guess they’re not going to reopen.
So many blue light special memories. Transformers, Gobots, He-Man, all the greats.

I've seen it too, I'm thinking about going to the one Walmart i have seen with him and try to price match if he's not on sale. someone else I know already succeeded in doing that

Since he's a solid case figure, this reminds me of when Ollies' were getting all those Miraculous figures last year, and IIR Westland's got at least 2 cases of Cat Noir while Farmington's got none. Goes to show the inconsistencies in what stores receive. How many Ollies' ever actually got the TR Windblade/Misfire/Twin Twist case? Oh well, that's two stores I'll be hitting today, whatever they have.
And that's the Target exclusive Bumblebee evolution pack, yes? That proved elusive once I actually got the cash together last Christmas, so I'm hoping to see it outside of the ad most of all.

Consider it confirmed, but still YMMV.Stargrave wrote:I just saw on Twitter Jetfire’s on clearance for like half price (? Unconfirmed) now THAT would be a kick in the, you know what I mean.
Not every store has it marked down, but using brickseek.com I saw a couple that did and was close to one today. Now here is where it get's tricky. In the Walmart app Jetfire shows up as "check store for price" at the stores that brickseek shows at $45. The store I visited didn't have a shelf tag, but brickseek was showing two in stock. I checked the toy section and the clearance aisle. No Jetfire to be found. I'm a little hard headed and found my Jetfire on a bottom shelf nowhere near the TF section. So I cruised all the toy aisles and spotted a pallet that was being worked and some of the boxes were marked with "new shelf location" what have you markings. Wanna guess what one of those boxes were? An unopened full case of two Jetfires. Popped the tape and checked the price. $45!
Now to return that Jetfire tomorrow using my original receipt
Good luck and happy hunting

Thanks for the tip! I didn’t know about Brickseek.

Carytheone details how he found that below, and for those wondering, it was only possible with the help of brickseek.com which shows which Walmarts are offering this toy at such a low price. It is far from being all Walmarts, so check brickseek before wasting a trip and being dissapointed.

Someone on the Siege thread probably nailed it. Retail just doesn't have the space for it. The store I found two at for $45 were still in an unopened box with no shelf space allotted. From checking the WM app and brickseek, I keep seeing more and more stores drop the price. Could be a little column a, a little column b. Clear this thing out that we don't have space for because of the holidays.YRQRM0 wrote:I feel like this happened so fast, I wonder why? Something to do with retailers trying to clear things out for a Holiday haul? Or was it Hasbro's call to do this?
I returned Jetfire to a store today that didn't have any in stock and they told me "good thing you have a receipt" - it rang up at $45. I'm going to guess this is going to be a nationwide price point at WMs.
I guess the commander class is going to have the same fate as titan class at retail. I remember at some point, stores didn't even have a spot for various line's leader class.

By sheer amount, yes, I believe the $35 (about 43%) discount is definitely the biggest. By percentage, no, the mistake price of $9.99 for the deluxe wave 1 on HasbroToyShop (back when they existed) and wave 2 briefly on Hasbro Pulse were be greatest at 50%.

It took quite a bit of persistence on my part, but I was able to get it for $52. They charged me tax on the full price, but it's still a great deal. Especially since there are no Walmarts near me.
Wait...You found a Siege Jetfire at Target? that might be a first.....

Nope. I called them to price match via online order.

It's always been a pain like that.

New for today. If you are looking to complete Abominus, or just need a couple extra limbs for combiners, BBTS has PotP Blot & Sinntertwin for $13 USD today only

I know. I checked four Walmarts right after the clearance news got out - no dice.

But that's not all! It's almost Halloween and the ad includes a third coupon offering a quick $5 off a $30 or more purchase in their "Hyde and Eek! Boutique" making some of those expensive Transformers costumes just a bit easier on the wallet. This one also works instantly online.

But a Titan couldn't possibly show up in store...is what I would've assumed without question 5 days ago. Gonna' spend another week Red-canvasing...

I ordered Galaxy Prime, Springer and Thundercracker with this very same deal back in April. They kept sending me emails telling me to approve new shipment dates, only for them to cancel Springer and Galaxy Prime for "reasons out of their control."
They sent me the first of these emails for Thundercracker this morning.
I am planning on trying to price check the Thundercracker in-store with the remainder of the discount that I have.
I am someone that always tries to buy stuff in-store - the money doesn't stay here, but at least that validates employment in my city... But I needed to (try) to save money on those figures, and I got totally screwed. It is the worst shopping experience I have ever had. Please don't preorder from them unless you are confident those items will arrive in your store before the shipping center can cancel it on you.
