Steal of a Deal: Platinum Edition Year of the Monkey Optimus Primal for $50.21 at Amazon.com

Nope. Still no thanks. I'll just wait for the Masterpiece.

Masterpiece Beast Machines Primal? I dont think thats happening anytime soon

Optimus Primal does look cool in that whack deco and that is a very tempting price, but I just can't get on board with this guy.

SOLD! I love Optimus Primal. I love gorillas (secondarily to wolves). I was born in The Year of the Monkey (1980). I've wanted this one for a while, but the price was ridiculous. $50 and some change is much easier to justify. Thanks for the tip!

Sadly, still not enough. But I think it'd still be a tough sell for me at $20. I just don't have fond memories of Beast Machines except for the vehicons. The beast modes never appealed to me even in the cartoon, let alone the toys, and I never got attached to the characters (again, except the vehicons) the way I did with Beast Wars. And knowing that a really awesome version of the same character from Beast Wars is coming soon, it pushes my Meh-factor too high.

Now should they do platinum releases of the large vehicons, I'm sold.

Not exactly what I meant, but I'd still rather wait 20 years or however long that might take to get a BM Primal with actual effort put into it.

thats a pretty good price, to bad im flat broke

I was gone for the weekend. Mom had about 10 tons of soil to put in her garden. I provided the muscle.

Just subscribe to Amazon.com (.ca is a joke. Don't bother) Next, just put that shit in your basket and check-out. Uppon checking out, you'll see if they ship to Canada or not. Most of the time, they do. Usually, the shipping price is pretty reasonable too! One thing you might hate are the "import charges". Those are the custom taxes you pay in advance. If customs hit, that amount is already paid at no extra charges. If customs don't hit, THE CHARGES ARE REFUNDED. Finally shipping ir usually pretty damn fast. Beware though, they don't take paypal. Only credit cards.

Hope this help!



BTW, I pulled the trigger and bought it. That ammount to roughly 85$CAN all taxes included. Maybe 10CAN less if the import fees are refunded. That's the best deal ever we cannucks can get because if I look at the other similarly priced Platinums on TrU, the best price will be 100$+taxes, meaning around 115$CAN.

Beside, a G1 Optimus colored Optimus Primal is somewaht quite cool!

You da man Kan

Thanks for all that. I do really want one, and I agree that's likely the best price we'll see, but I got other figures I think I want more than him.

Got mine on Sunday. I like him. Robot mode is imposing and reasonably poseable, and gorilla mode is just cool looking. Plus, ro-butt.

He'll look nice standing next to 20th Anniversary Optimus Prime on the fireplace mantle.

Fellow Seibertronian LevelRaze1 has popped round the staff inbox with a reminder about the current May Mayhem sale over at Hasbro, and the price reductions on Transformers items on the HasbroToyShop eBay page! Discounts about for Generations, Combiner Wars, Rescue Bots, and Robots in Disguise figures, check them out!

I think the ebay deals actually started in April.

April Aprilhem doesn't have the same ring to it though

Speaking of May Mayhem, has there been any more traction on Groove yet?

He has a set street date for the US - I believe it's towards the end of the month, so relax, but keep vigilant

Why won't the bastards ship to the UK,less than £60 for the whole of the combaticons!! That's at least a £30 saving.... Need to move stateside

I'm hearing May 24

Amazon.ca has a truly ridiculous deal right now. You may all remember the SDCC set of movie Dinobots in G1 colours. There was a Slog figure which accompanied that set and it was an Amazon exclusive. It was originally 40$ on Amazon.ca but it is now on sale for $ 9.99 CDN. This is probably the best deal on Transformers Amazon.ca has ever had.



This deep discount is probably because a similarly deco'd Slog is already part of a five set Platinum release, which is coincidentally available on amazon.com for $ 124.99 USD (from 3rd party sellers but at cheaper price than both exclusive retailers for Canada and the US).



For Americans, please don't despair, Amazon.com has good deals for you too when it comes to (once) exclusive toys, like Transformers Hasbro Platinum Edition Autobot Intell Ops Blaster & Perceptor, which is available for $ 52.99 USD.



Each of these listings either has free shipping or is eligible for Prime.

Many of you might recall that in Japan's last Transformers cartoon toy line, some of their releases eventually became quite discounted on Amazon (like Transformers Go Budora). Well this seems to be starting for their Transformers Adventure line. As of right now two fo their exclusivie rereleases, Transformers Adventures TAV 09 Swoop and TAV10 Snarl, are being sold by Japanese compaies through Amazon at the price of deluxe toys at retail (or lower). The shipping is also free and there are no taxes on importing in the US. So this is a very good deal for anyone who wanted these molds or these redecos.





Many other TAV toys are currently being sold at reasonable prices (lower than stateside importers) with free shipping such as Thunderhoof, Sharpnel, Steeljaw and Roadblock. While prices are pretty much the same you'd pay if you found these toys at retail in Japan, importing them for free means you can get these same prices without getting off your couch. The free shipping seems to only be for US adresses though.

Just gotta be patient with shipping. Still waiting on the Swoop I ordered around the 5th.

Indeed, Amazon is a great place to pick up Takara figures. The TAV line has had some good deals on and off for some time now. I picked up Road Block, Frumbles, Swoop and Bloody Knockout at great prices just recently all with free shipping.

The legend series are on the daily stalk right now as well. The prices are still high, but some are starting to drop.

I'm still holding out for Bakudora myself.

This is the best way to see what figures are more popular. It seems to be that the toys that dont appear on the show get the bigger discount.

Just ordered the 2 Dinos from this sale.
Thanks for putting up the info. I had never thought i would get them at a good price.
Thanks for the heads up folks!

Its a pleasure, I am just glad to know it helped

I just found this kick ass deal for the Takara rerelease of Revenge of the Fallen Voyager Battle Blade Prime. Its only 40$

BBTS's One Day Sale is 50% off Cybertron Con 2013 Masterpiece Grimlock Exclusive.
Was $299.99, now $149.99.

HTS has a price drop on most of the Generations line? The only exceptions are the CW boxed sets, CW Blades, and those items no longer in stock. It looks to be about 20%, but even the Leaders are discounted so people can now get CW Ultra Magnus for $36 American. You can pretty much tell which ones are sold out now because they are still at regular price like Shockwave, First Aid, and Air Raid.

This is a pretty amazing deal on Clampdown with Coin

Fellow Seibertronians Depthcharge27 and Mr Skram have dropped us a line to let us know of the latest HasbroToyShop sale, just in time for summer! As you might guess, the Summer Sale does not cover all Transformers items, but a fair few Combiner Wars figure are - and most notably, the Leader Class figures are down to $34.99 each. If you're still missing something, or a looking to double dip before Titans Return, now may be your moment.

Just gonna leave this here:

Transformers Kre-O Class of 1985 Box Set on clearance for $70

I sent this info to Seibertron.com over a week ago. Since it was never posted I thought that it wasn't important. At least someone received credit for it.

You did? I don't think I saw your email, I'm sorry!

Let me check again...

A pretty good deal on MP Shockwave. 128$ US with free shipping, waaaaaaay better than any local competition. And its through amazon (third party seller)

http://www.amazon.com/TRANSFORMERS-Mast ... aod_s_cp_6?tag=seibertron07-20&

Great new for Irish TF Fans. SMYTHS have a massive Combiner Wars Sale. All Deluxes are now €14.50 down from €21.99. Voyagers are half price €15.49 down from €31.99 and Leader classes are now €48.50 down from around €62/63. It includes all CW figures including the Combaticons which has literally just come in this week

Haha, I had not realized that the only toy from a few years ago to still be available on amiami is Tankor. I guess no one wants that toy to the point that they are selling him at more than half off:

HA, I spotted Tankor and Rattrap at a Walmart in the town I'm working at this week.

I considered picking Tankor up, but passed.

If you can get him for less than 10$ I say why not.

No they wanted full price for him and he wasn't Sky Lynx, so I kept walking. I was making groceries that night.

I don't now if anyone has checked out HLJ's Summer Sale but they have some awesome deals on a lot of stuff including TFs, most notably-
TAV Megatronus, Fracture, and Quillfire for about $12
Masterpiece Road Rage for about $36 (not the lowest but still pretty good)
UW Menasor for around $77
Masterpiece Optimus for $123
UW Devastator for $129
There are a lot more too but those are some of the big ones. All of these prices are in USD by the way.

HLJ has a store wide summer sale, Fellow Seibertronian SureShot18 gave us a nice breakdown of the best deals to be found. Click here to get to the site and find these deals if you are interested. Please remember that this is a Japanese retailer and so the shipping price and importing charges (there are none in the states though) can be extra factors to consider in the final cost.

Was just checking these out. Thinking of getting Fracture and Megatronus and maybe grab some of the really cheap Choro-Q figures.

Didn't think this would be newsworthy but it's cool that it was. I'm definitely going to pick up Megatronus. Fracture, and Quillfire at that price. I was fine with Hasbro's but getting Takara's for a little less or equal to Hasbro's sounds like a pretty good deal.

It sure would be nice if an American retailer would put Transformers on sale. I got excited today because Walmart had red tags on the Transformers pegs, but all of the prices were unchanged. I tried scanning the prices to be sure and they were still normal. The ones with the tags were Generations Legends, RID Minicons, and those self transforming RID figures. Might be worth keeping an eye on in case the prices do come down.

If only I waited!!!!!!!! I did wait for Hasbro's Magnus to go down in price and it did, so I bought it. But now this sale is here and I could have purchased Takara Magnus for the same price I paid the Hasbro version for (barring shipping, of course). AaArgh. And I feel like buying this one just not to miss out on the deal. But thats nonsensical since I already did spend my money on Mgus and this would just be spending more money. And I preffer minimus to alpha trion anyways, but still.

And I also want to buy those TAVs even though I have the hasbro ones and I dont find the takara ones all taht superior in deco.

EDIT: AND dont get e started on Shockwave Thats it, for Inferno, I am witing for a HLJ sale.

Platinum Edition Year of the Goat Optimus Prime is on SUPER CLEARENCE at toysrus.com




Happy Father's Day to MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Any good HTS discount codes right now?

Is this where I brag about getting this for $170 today at the local vintage shop?
