Steal of a Deal: Movie Masterpiece Megatron and Ironhide Found Heavily Discounted at Ross

Holy crap, time to check out a Ross store.

Congrats on the find!

SGM

i NEED that Megatron!

Thanks for the heads up!

I found a Megatron in Fort Worth TX.

Don’t know if this has been noted elsewhere but one of my local Targets has a stacked sale on Transformers ER Deluxes. They’re on regular sale for 17.99, then they have a Black Friday sale going on for BOGO 50% on select toys. The BOGO takes off of the 17.99 rather than the original, meaning you pay about $13.50 (before tax) for each deluxe. Grabbed the only Arcee and Allicon not even knowing about the dual sales.

yeah my local Targets have been out of ER deluxes for a while(still plenty of SS and Cyberverse though). A shipment is expected to arrive on 11/12 at my local store, presumably with wave 3. Even though the sale might nto still be going, i expect them to disappear quickly.

Not exactly a Steal or a Deal, but Hasbro has this years version of the Black Friday sale code and this year it sucks because it is only valid for in stock items and not pre-orders. Active now for premium members, not sure when it starts for regular members.

PREMIUM10 gets you 10% of an order of $50 or more
PREMIUM15 gets you 15% of an order of $75 or more
PREMIUM20 gets you 20% of an order of $100 or more

Too bad they don't have anything in stock that I don't already have...

Airwave for $13.86 on walmart.com

Even worse, it's only available for "select" in stock items, and there's only like five or six Transformers items it works on. Nothing at all like that 20% off everything code Premium members got last year. It's basically a Star Wars and Marvel sale with a few other things mixed in.

Looks like balck friday was a bust in terms of tansformers in the US

I almost forgot it was black Friday, this just doesn't feel like it at all. Honestly, I got enough coming in the next few days I really didn't need a sale right now.

william-james88 wrote:Looks like balck friday was a bust in terms of tansformers in the US

Yep. None of the major retailers had good deals while BBTS and TFSource didn't have anything worth mentioning. I'm sure the people that were holding out for Amazon to do their annual Titan discount must be feeling massive disappointment.

I noticed that a few people have posted sightings in the sightings pages for wave 2 ER deluxes in Midwest Aldi stores. Does anyone know how much they’re going for there? My local Aldis have a teaser sales paper for Dec 2 that says Hasbro toys for 9.99 but it’s very generic with not that many toys pictured

Thank you, somehow I missed it amongst the other news stories, must have disappeared down the list quickly.

I don't know if I'd call these "deals" per se, but seeing as this is the only place to get them, and that they went up today for Black Friday, I figured I'd share this anyway.

Night Shining, Inc. has order pages up for some new BotCon items. The newly-released legacy book, Beyond the Convention – BotCon: The Ultimate Product Guide, is now available purchase with either the convention-exclusive cover featuring Apelinq or an alternate cover featuring SG Optimus.

There is also a Black Friday 50% off deal for the "Classicsverse" bundle of TCC Magazine issues featuring comic strips either set in or pertaining to the Classics universe. Also included are the 2007 convention comic "Games of Deception", which is Classics themed, and the 2010 convention comic "Genertation 2: Redux", which is not Classics themed but is instead included as a bonus.

Also available for preorder now is the upcoming BotCon 2021 exclusive action figure Wasp Raider.

Festive Greetings, Seibertronians! Black Friday has come and gone, without any of the big discounts we usually see around this time of the year. While this is a disappointment to many, Hasbro is still providing some big deals for Cyber Monday (the online equivalent of Black Friday). Their eBay store has some great deals, like Micromaster 2-packs for nearly 60% off, 3/8ths of Studio Series Devastator (Mixmaster, Scrapper, and Scavenger) at a 20% discount, lots of different Siege and Studio Series deluxes also at 20% off, and a Series 1 BotBots pack at 60% off! Looking to pick up Siege Grapple or Snapdragon? $23.99 each, and to boot, many of these deals include free shipping! What are you waiting for? Click any of the pictures below to be taken to Hasbro's eBay page and shop for figures you may have missed, or for customizing fodder. Happy Cyber Monday!

The image links keep redirecting me to eBay's homepage.

Here are some of the better deals found on Cyber Monday from Amazon. To get this news out asap, we looked at the US and Canada sites but if you find any other deal, please share it in the discussion so that other fans in your country can see. Some of these were already on sale before.

Thanks for the heads up, WJ88.
Amazon warehouse had him a buck and change cheaper, so I just snatched that up.

For the US on Amazon there’s also
SS deluxe DOTM Soundwave for 13.99
SS leader Scavenger for 34.99
SS voyager Scrapper for 20.99
SS voyager Mixmaster for 20.99
SS deluxe Arcee/Chromia/Elita-1 for 13.99
SS deluxe Crankcase for 13.99

Meanwhile in Amazon.ca, we get JACKSHIT.

Hey I have a question. Is it still worth buying the Constructicons on sale now even though I missed out on all the first ones?

Irvpapa wrote:Hey I have a question. Is it still worth buying the Constructicons on sale now even though I missed out on all the first ones?

That would depend you whether you are only interested in getting the whole combiner, or if you don't mind only having some of them. If you want the whole thing, then the set with all 8 will be your best bet money-wise. The early ones are going to be hard to get new and at a reasonable price.

However, if you don't mind playing the long game, you can pick up the ones on sale right now and bide your time on eBay for the rest. Scrapmetal and Long Haul will be the hardest to track down.

What do you mean? We have the best deal with Gigawatt at 33% off

Irvpapa wrote:Hey I have a question. Is it still worth buying the Constructicons on sale now even though I missed out on all the first ones?

I’d say so. Most of them are really good figures by themselves (and the 3 currently on sale are my favorites of the bunch).

To be fair most of those Amazon sales have been there for weeks, AU Optimus is the major new one.

The new Ollie’s flier shows Ultra Magnus for 24.99

As an added bonus the typo is kinda funny.

Happy hunting!

We have great news for whoever likes a bargain and is within driving distance to an Ollie's store. The Walmart exclusive Netflix Transformers Ultra Magnus spoiler pack, which includes a magnus turning grey, a pink rung and some energon cubes in putty, is being sold for just $24.99 USD. What makes this extra fun is the typo in the printed flyer where the toy is called Ultra Mangus. The deal starts TOMORROW. This was sent to us by fellow Seibertronian AutobotDad and we thank him for the news.

All 2% of the fandom. The Toy market is a scalpers paradise, and yet nobody who has the ability to seems to care about changing that.

The only way to stop the scalping is for fans to stop buying from scalpers. Anyone who buys from a scalper is complicit in their business model. They are the only ones who can change that.

Anyways, at least you and I can share in the same misery since Ollie's is nowhere near me either.

I never have purchased from scalpers, and by all indications, many people here don't either, I guess it's part of my being out of touch with most of the community, since I prefer to communicate still on forums like this. I don't have any accounts on FB, Twitter etc... and it appears that is where many people are now, (and much of the toxicity). I know I cant force anything, but I don't know how to encourage fans NOT to buy from scalpers, other than telling them not to.

Still... When Places like Ollies (not blaming them just making an example), sell something like TR Trypitcon for $40, scalpers can sell it for $80-$100, and to the untrained, that seems like a great deal because it normally retails for $160.

I still have Facebook and I went there right after reading your comment and no joke, this is what welcomed me when I logged in:

I know we don't always agree on things, but I do want to continue to express my appreciation to you, and all the staff here at Seibertron for all your hard work and keeping things civil. If I had to go to a major Social media outlet, I think I'd give up on the hobby altogether.

If you aren’t around an Ollie’s and are interested I’ll check my store and grab extras. Shoot me a message.

And I am happy to be here for you!

That typo takes me back to the '90s, when fans who just barely understood what anime was would sometimes call the corresponding comics "magna". Back then, I never could've imagined every Aldi's near me getting so many Arcee and Alicon toys that I'd already be bored with the prospect.

I'm lucky enough to live near two Ollie's, and a WalMart that accidentally clearanced them Spoiler-Ulti-Magnums to half off upon arrival last summer, so now all I have to do is scalp a few, and I'll be the biggest slag-hole in this thread! Of course, this comes too late to use that Ollie's coupon that expired Sunday, and I let it because I was saving up for that Shapeways sale that Paypal f@%#ed me out of for no reason...it's been an annoying post-Thanksgiving week for me, not that I can actually complain this year.

But hey, if any Seibertronian wants one, message me and I'll check 'em both this Saturday, in between my newest dumbass quest to see if any Dollar Tree will actually get Final Faction's Alpha Team figures.

Your mileage will vary with this one, for sure, but we have enough reports to warrant a heads up to anyone looking for a deal. Walmarts across Canada and the US are doing some massive liquidations on the 2020 Transformers toys.
In Canada, the deals many have found are the following:

Earthrise Deluxe: $9 ($7 USD)
Micromasters: $7
Battle Masters: $5

G1 Blaster reissue: $20.00 ($16 USD)

In the US we have seen reports for the following:

Earthrise AND Netflix Deluxe: $10
Earthrise Voyagers: $20
Earthrise Leaders: $35

We thank fellow Transformers fan John Carpenter for giving us these specifics.

Went to 3 Walmarts near me today, 0-3 on finding any wave 2 Netflix and 0-3 on seeing any clearance.

There will be no clearance on these in my area because there are very little. What they NEED to clearance is Cyberverse, those are the ones cluttering up shelves not selling.

Also that pic has to be from Canada right? They don't sell Battlemasters at Walmarts in the US.

Yup, it's a pic I took yesterday. I posted it in the earthrise thread in response to he arcee discussion we were having.

I went to three walmarts as well. Hoping to find an Allicon at these prices. I struck out as well. All that was left was Airwave and 1 of the three walmarts did not have discounts.

Definitely didn't see anything clearanced at Walmart yesterday. Hardly anything to mark down to begin with. And the current peg layout is highly questionable, leaving only one peg for WFC in the top left camera (with the Rollback tag on it) and none for NetFlix. The rest of the pegs are all Studio Series (or MV6 as they're still calling it on some tags). They even made a point of spreading out the few SS figures they had in an attempt to fill the pegs. They even squeezed in a fifth Cyberverse one step peg at the bottom right among the 7 SS pegs for no good reason.




There's a displaced Cliffjumper sitting on the Voyagers there, I put him back where he belongs after the photo.

That's a nice looking walmart tf section.

william-james88 wrote:That's a nice looking walmart tf section.

Only because they just restocked a bunch of the larger figures, there's hardly anything Deluxe class (aside from fresh stock of wave 4 Cyberverse). And then there's those Titan Guardians on the right, if they just cut those down to two pegs they could have two pegs free for Battle Masters and Micromasters. But no, gotta keep making space for the same figures they've been selling for seven years. Can't tell if it's the same, worse or better than when they stuck those eye sores in a shelf display and stopped selling all Leader class figures last year.

From my perspective you have the walmart G1 exusive readily available along with the walmart exclusive Netflix voyagers plus wave 4 of the cyberverse deluxes (which I don't have) so it's not half bad. Pretty sure many would be jealous if you posted this on a US facebook group.

There's a nice deal on Amazon.com right now. Transformers Toys Generations War for Cybertron Deluxe Fan-Vote Battle 3 Pack with Holo Mirage, Powerdasher Aragon, & Decepticon Impactor (IDW) is only $37.99 USD. That's 46% off from the original price. For those that don't have this set yet, it's a really good opportunity. Prime eligible.

You can get it here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07PZY481L/re ... We-RFJeCa4?tag=seibertron07-20&



Description of the product below:

Ahh...memories... I got that set last year around this time at that same price. I had seen it in the upper $40 range not too long ago, but what you reported- really is a great deal. Odd that this still exists, and the Autobot set from last year is still retail price, but the Skywarp set is long gone and goes for insane prices on the secondary market.

o.supreme wrote:Odd that this still exists, and the Autobot set from last year is still retail price, but the Skywarp set is long gone and goes for insane prices on the secondary market.

Skywarp was the biggest name out of the 3 sets (maybe Mirage too, but not Holo Mirage) and the only way he was available, so it isn't surprising that his set sold out that quickly and is getting scalped while the others lingered. What is surprising is that they are still lingering and that Amazon hasn't put them at a "make them go away" price yet.

TF-fan kev777 wrote:What is surprising is that they are still lingering and that Amazon hasn't put them at a "make them go away" price yet.

I think $38 for 3 deluxes is pretty darn low . I wanted it last year just for Aragon, and would have been willing to pay close to $30 for him alone, I'm glad I held out, I gave Mirage and Impactor to my son. My collection is quite specialized, but every once in a while its nice to have something different thrown in there.

It didn't sell out that quickly, it just sold out, same with greenlight, unlike these. Everyone who placed their preorder got it and there was enough for everyone once it was released. The only ones who didn't get it (out of those that could in the first place) were those who were waiting for price drops. I was one of those.

Greenlight was a day one purchase for me, mostly because I wanted to complete Orthia (as I imagine would be for most people who wanted it). I do remember it lasting for a little while. I was able to snag the battlemasters from both Amazon sets separately, at quite a reasonable price. If TT Selects is in the business of reissuing past toys, as much as it would pain me, I would think an Orthia Selects release would get a far more positive fan response than the recent Volcanicus and Abominus offerings.
