My local store had cases of those as of a couple weeks ago, had out if you need them.

And even though he's a few bucks down in price, I'm still not sure it's worth getting Wrecker Springer, when the Thrilling 30s version seems so much better...

*Edit* ok I figured out we already used the 25% off coupon on another item last week. Thankfully my daughter had her own Target Circle account so I just used hers, plus Red Card discount came to about $117 shipped. I said I wouldn't get Legacy Metroplex unless he was $100. So I fudged a little. Still this is the least I ever paid for a Titan Class toy, so that's pretty cool.

I mean, if you enjoy being factually wrong, then by all means die on that hill.

I did this online thinking that, surely, this is such a good deal, the one Target near me that carries Titans would be out. Nope they had 2 in stock today.
I just hope this isn't one of the occasions where Target realizes they messed up with the stackable discounts, and cancels/ refunds orders.
Also, Amazon is running a deal almost as good right now. Prime members can get Metroplex at 24% off, plus an additional $38 dollar coupon at checkout brings it to about $125 after-tax. At this point, it might be worth the extra $10 or so for the reliability of Amazon over Target. The only downside is estimated delivery is December 1st, so you have to wait a couple of weeks.

A FedEx label was made that same day, with delivery scheduled for Wednesday the 9th. As I look now, my Target account still says Wednesday the 9th delivery, the money has been taken from my account, and it still sitting ( presumably) at a Target distribution center just a few hours from.my home. Fedex hasn't even picked it up yet.

I wanted The Nemesis but all I got was this piece of crap!
Isn't it funny how Haslab can immediately make Dezarus to go with Star Saber but they can't/won't make The Nemesis to go with The Ark?

Yup! "just wait" I always have to wait for what I want. Just wait for The Nemesis but there is no guarantee they'll ever make it. Because what robot would it transform into? I would be happy with just a non-transformable ship/playset like the Legacy Millennium Falcon but they'll have to make it transform into something.
Just wait for the full set of leader Dinobots. Isn't it nice how they're draggin their feet releasing all 5 leader Dinobots but PrimevsPrime already has his full set of stolen Legacy Stunticons? I don't want the Stunticons but I want to finish up my Dinobot set. So they release the Stunticons in record time but take friggin forever to release Snarl & Swoop.
This is why I hate Hasbro! Metroplex & Backstop were easily the worst toys from the Cybertron line. So they waste money & resources making a Titan Metroplex that nobody wanted or asked for. But something that would actually make sense like a Titan Nemesis to go with the Ark? Nah!

Since when are Titans made in pairing years? Just because we get a Titan one year doesn't mean we'll immediately get their rival the next. G1 Metroplex (2013) and Trypticon (2017), Devastator (2015) and Omega Supreme (2019), Fortress Maximus (2016) and Scorponok (2020), Grand Maximus (2018) and Black Zarak (2022), none of these came out in consecutive years so it's unrealistic to think things would be different for the Nemesis.
But it's heavily rumored / all but confirmed that the Nemesis is coming next year.

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.

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

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.

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

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.
