While there was a few supposed one off sightings, there is a clear trend now of several Walmart stores in the US severely discounting the recently released Transformers war for Cybertron Siege commander class Jetfire. We have a receipt below coming from fellow Seibertronian Carytheone where we see proof of the toy being purchased for $45 US, almost half off the original price of $80.
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.

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!
Good luck and happy hunting

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.

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.

I believe the sale is online as well. As far as I know, there have been no reported sightings of Omega Supreme at US retail.
Also, so sorry i've been super busy with work, haven't been keeping up with BBTS sales. But this is the end of there 20 weeks of sales. Some pretty good deals:

PotP Predaking $128
Legends Big Powered $125 (I so want this, but funds are tight right now)
...AND SEVERAL MORE

Easy. LEGO sells like hot cakes and they don’t need to discount that product line for it to move.

On page 2 there is an offer to text TOY to target (827438). This will get you a 25% off coupon for any one toy including all Transformers. This is valid in-store or online and is good until 11/23/19. This would save you $40 on Siege Omega Supreme bringing him down from $160 to $120 and many other good deals.
You can see some screenshots we took below. We thank FoehammerX for sending us this great news.

Others that are on sale are Siege Deluxes and Leaders but strangely not Voyagers and neither are the Micromasters
Edit: Generations Select figures are also not on sale

They show Optimus in the ad but my local one had Megatron and Dragonstorm. Ended up getting Megatron but if Prime does ever show up I think I’d pick it up.
Posted by SGMLordMirage on November 14th, 2019 @ 6:32pm CST
UPDATE
Finally got around to stopping by one of the Ollies and did find a Drgaonstorm hidden among the shelves. Did see OP or Megatron.
