Steal of a Deal - Target Running 20% Off Coupon for All Transformers

Well good thing my target is right around the corner. Target's website is awful

Man, the Siege line is so good and they are perfect size for my 3red party collection aswell. Too bad I cant take advantage of the sale... I have all of the recent releases

This would be amazing if Target.com had more than about 7 listings to choose from. I grabbed Cheetor, Slipstream and Cogman as those were the only ones they had listed that I kinda wanted.

What's with Target.com though? They went from having old listings for figures because there was still one store in the country that supposedly had one on the shelves somewhere (or at least in the system) to having nothing listed. They kinda went from one extreme to the other.

I hate the warrior class seeker mold though but I managed to find a Thundercracker at Ollie's so I thought I'd get Slipstream to go with TC, Starscream and Acid Storm. That and well, it's Slipstream.

I hope Slipstream gets a new deluxe figure for Cyberverse. Starscream as well. Different molds or at least retools to differentiate the male and female seekers. I'd like to see Windblade get a deluxe figure as well even though her warrior figure didn't suck.

I don't think there is a coupon involved...? Is that just a general way of putting it? Tonight I went to a local Target and asked for a price check for my knowledge but wasn't told about a coupon.

So tomorrow I'm gonna hunt down a Galaxy OP as I want another to keep in his upgrade mode.

After what happened to Slipstream in the show, I'd honestly be surprised if she did get a Deluxe at this point.

Why does being dead prevent someone from getting a toy at some point? There have been a few dead characters in the franchise who have gotten toys after they died.

I know in my area, that 20% will work for anyone who held out on the Siege Shockwave or a select number of Studio Series.

totally agree, I'm kinda annoyed at how little stock they have

My local Targets are suffering from a bit of a regression back to Siege Waves 1 & 2, and some earlier waves in the Studio Series as well. The discount is already applied in-store tho, I snagged SS Hightower so I'm caught up with Devie. I also saw helicopter Dropkick and surprisingly car mode Shatter.

Took advantage of this last night. Would've loved a Soundwave but unfortunately my Target didn't have much( the Transformers sections is VERY small). They did have a Siege Galaxy Optimus so I left happy

Just when it was looking like T.J.Maxx wasn't going to have any decent Transformers deals this holiday season, this happened. While out Christmas shopping (yes, I'm a last minute shopper) I was surprised to find a legit Transformers section at a local T.J.Maxx. And it's not just old wave 1 overstock, but some pretty recent releases including Power of the Spark Ultimate Class Grimlock for only $20 (which our own william-james88 declared the best Transformer gift for young fans). Also of note is Spark Armor Elite Class Optimus Prime, Megatron, and Bumblebee for $20 each, and Warrior Class figures for only $4.99! As you can see from the photos below they also had a nice selection of Scouts and 1 Step Changers which I unfortunately didn't catch the price on. Plus there was a selection of Bumblebee Movie Energon Igniters Power Plus Series figures such as Bumblebee(s), Shatter, and Soundwave for $10.

And yet of all the times I've been to TJ Maxx, I have never seen a single Transformers related item.

That's how it had been for me (aside from some of those super cheap oversized Bumblebee figures), and then this happened out of no where. Not much I'm interested in, but neat to see so much stuff in stock.

Amazon has a bunch of Studio Series figures on sale as a part of their deal of the day

The liquidator stores are surprisingly well stocked this year. Marshall's, Ross, TJMaxx... even Kohl's has some Cyberverse. Ross is one up tho for having Bumblebee movie toys as well as PotP Legends.

Just scored the KSI Bot for that price; not as interested in the character but more in the Headmaster cross functionality.

Between a Ross and Bealls Outlet next to each other I found ultra class Shockwave, Starscream, Bumblebee, Grimlock and Alpha Trion. I already had Shockwave and didn't want SS or BB so I got Grimlock (better than I expected) and Alpha Trion (at least he looks cool). Didn't find Slipstream though but Amazon had her cheap the other day and picked her up then. I also found a bunch of one step figures from the BB movie. The Tuesday Morning next to them had nothing unfortunately. Usually they're a place that has some good finds from time to time but nothing good this time. I didn't try the TJMaxx that's in that area as it's across the road and the traffic light between the two shopping centers is really annoying. The parking lot sucks to drive though as well. So it's usually not worth it for me to bother with that particular TJMaxx.

How is it surprising that the absolute crappiest toys end up at the discount stores? You don't see any of the good stuff showing up there like Generations or Studio Series. Just the garbage no sane person would waste their money on.

I've seen Combiner Wars Voyagers, TLK Premier Editions, Amazon exclusives, TR Deluxes and now PotP Legends at Ross alone, not to mention Trypticon has popped up at some. The SS Bumblebee Then and Now 2-pack and on a lesser note, Power Rangers Movie Zords were found at Burlington Coat Factory for dirt cheap, so they do get good stuff now and again

It's much less a question of what's good or bad, but rather what remains unsold vs. what's actually produced. At the moment, Siege Sixgun and Shockwave are shelfwarming being re-releases in later waves, and Walmart's Bluestreak isn't exactly moving in my area either, so expect those to hit clearance or otherwise pop up in those stores in a few months.

Meanwhile the 35th line didn't show up at all at my local Walmarts. No display and nothing on the shelves. Glad I got mine off the website.

First off there's the whole "eye of the beholder" thing, this line does have its fans and even non fans like myself have found a few figures worth owning. But it's really only surprising because it's rare to see anything at T.J.Maxx in these numbers, let alone Transformers. At best they might stock a case or two of Voyagers or some random Deluxes, but this is stock on par with Walmart or Target, it's practically unheard of for them.
