Steal of a Deal - Target Running 20% Off Transformers Deal October 6 - 8

Sweet, I pre-ordered NEST Ratchet and Bonecrusher at 25% off between the promotion and the RedCard discount. Both were a pass at full price for me to wait out a sale, and here it is.

Nice. I re-preordered mine to get the discount, $10 saved there

Is that legion Strongarm in the image?

I think it's the pseudo-stealth force Strongarm that came with a minicon. Not sure, was surprised to see it as well on their ad.

Target can get iffy with the ad photos. I remember a print ad during Kingdom for leader class which showed Siege Shockwave.

Lord...how I hate hindsight...

Kingdom Rodimus $39.99 USD on Amazon...

https://www.amazon.com/Transformers-Toy ... 198&sr=8-1?tag=seibertron07-20&

Siege Jetfire- Walmart foolishly clearances because they dont want it. Goes on to be extremely popular and gets a second production run through Pulse.

ER Skylynx - Also Extremely Popular, and difficult for some to find because of the pandemic.

Kingdom Rodimus - Again, I'm not saying it wasn't popular, or it isn't a good toy. It is absolutely well executed. However Hasbro must have produced way more than previous CC for any retailer to have it on clearance a year after its release...



I already have Motormaster.... However if the rumors are true and 2023 Legacy Evo CC is Armada Prime, then I wont have to worry, because that holds no interest for me.

Well, I'm still looking for a discounted Jetfire. Never saw one at my Walmarts. Amazon has few at over $300, which is not something I'm prepared to pay for it.

I only ever saw Jetfire once at Walmart, and got it right away, never imagining they would clearance it out just weeks later. I also looked at Jetfire briefly on eBay, the prices were not as bad as I thought they would be. There were several in the $125-$150 range. Less than double retail after 3 years isn't too bad.

I think the 2bd production run, and to a lesser degree the SG version have kept it somewhat reasonable for a while at least.

Yeah seeing this is why I'm playing the long game with Motormaster and Metroplex. Sooner or later there will be a sale and we can get them cheaper. If you watch Amazon closely, sooner or later you'll see a price drop. Blitzwing too. Not paying leader class price for him, especially with how awful his alt modes and stupid gauntlet things are. But he'll drop down at some point, and I'll snag him then just to display him in bot mode and won't feel so bad since I'll have paid less.

I had no real interest in Cybertron Metroplex. But the others I did. Next year if I see an offer online for roughly half price I'll go for it. If not,no loss.

That makes sense, no? If you still have an item taking up space in your warehouse a year after release, then clearancing it is the way to go. It sold out instantly, so there wasn't that much available. Is the toy clearancing elsewhere?

I checked it out this morning and most of the deals weren't deals at all. The original prices were marked way up and the sale price was just the MSRP. I did have the Rescue Bots 3 pack of dino Prime, Bumblebee and motorcycle Grimlock in my cart for $15, but it sold out before I could finish checking out.

There's some weird stuff going on. That link shows me it's sold out, and it's been that way since I posted, earlier today

I hope people bought that Rodimus, that was the single best figure from the entire WFC trilogy

Yesssssssssss

That's a pretty big claim considering the sizeable variants of Ultra Magnus (Ultra Magnii?), Snapdragon, Jetfire, Sky Lynx, Omega Supreme, and freaking Unicron.

I do think it was one of the highlights though, and an even better follow-up with PotP Evolution Optimus Prime, but also... Unicroooon.
Personally I have an even bigger soft spot for smaller articulated figures, like WFC:K Optimus or Delux-class Blackarachnia and Waspinator.

I think I read that these are all in-store clearance prices only?

Actually I'm showing the opposite. I have the item in my cart and it isn't available for local pick up.

Shame, I cannot add to my cart, says delivery is unavailable

Have you been holding out for some new Transformers figures? High prices got you hesitant? Well, good news: Amazon has you covered.

Amazon is currently running a ton of coupon deals on Transformers across all the lines are currently populating the shelves. And there are a lot of good deals.

For instance, Studio Series Arcee and Ironhide are both $14.99 with the coupons applied at checkout, a steal for these 2 highly desired deluxes. Many Core figures are also on sale, with Studio Series Ravage down to $5.99, and Ratchet, Shockwave, and Iguanus down to $8.99. We also see deals on larger figures, with Legacy Soundwave being $25.49 and Legacy Metroplex being down to $142.49.

You can check out the links below. Keep an eye open for the coupons that will be applied at checkout, they will be listed on the main page in green.

Legacy: https://www.amazon.com/s?tag=seibertron07-20&k=transformers ... _sb_noss_1

Studio Series: https://www.amazon.com/s?tag=seibertron07-20&k=transformers ... _sb_noss_2

Cool, grabbed a core Ratchet. Still haven't seen anything other than Legacy and SS Core wave 1 in stores.

Ollie’s ad. Will check local stores for actual stock later.

concrusher792 wrote:Ollie’s ad. Will check local stores for actual stock later.

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

There's a few figures here and there which seem like good deals. Though the only one that I was tempted by was the Wrecker repaint of ER Springer. Springer was one of the figures which the minions never saw in stores - except for one box, which had been toyswapped with a Thrilling 30's Springer.

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...

Select Transformers are on sale on Target again, including Legacy Titans Cybertron Metroplex for 20% off. In addition to the price of $151.99, there is a 25% off "one kids book or toy" coupon that when combined bring him down to $120.89.

https://goto.target.com/c/1137247/81938/2092?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.target.com%2Fp%2Ftransformers-g%20...%20A-84794227%3C%2Fa%3E

We're you actually able to get that to work? My wife has Target Circle and she tried to combine the coupons but didn't work. Did you do it in store or online?

*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.

Good news for those who thought Legacy Metroplex looked good but not $190 good. Well, how does $117 sound? Turns out there are some deals and coupons going on at Target and if you stack them right, you can get it down to that low. Select Transformers are on sale on Target's site again, including Legacy Titan Cybertron Metroplex for 20% off. In addition to the price of $151.99, there is a 25% off "one kids book or toy" coupon that when combined bring him down to $120.89. The, if you stack the Red Card discount on top of that, it comes out to about $117 shipped.

I paid $121.80, but on top of that I got a $10 digital gift card with my purchase; so if I really want to be cheeky, I can say it only cost me $111.80. Seems like a pretty good deal to me!

Yup. I got him for a lot less then the 190 fro the sale Target had weeks ago plus other discounts. I'm never paying full retail for the larger figures like this again.

Amazon's matching this deal as well.

Glad I saw this post, with the target card, military, 25%, price was 103.31.

It uses the same amount of plastic as the original but blown up like a balloon, and without the gimmick or minicon. 117 is still too much. I will die on this hill, and no one that disagrees or sits on a fencepost can get me off this hill.

That's a really good deal, and that is a very good figure, I hope you all take advantage of that deal!

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

So...has anyone who took advantage of this deal had their item actually ship yet? I placed the order Monday afternoon. 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 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.

Amazon can be just as unreliable.

I wouldn't want it for $17.00. lol

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?

Just could, but chose not to. So what? Just wait till next year.

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.

Urgh. As a Transformers collector, these prices are absolutely amazing. As a Transformers retailer, these prices are what kills small businesses. They are selling these figures for significantly less than my wholesale costs and its inventory that I have had trouble moving all year long. I love selling the new toys in my store, but the market is incredibly volatile when you are competing with big box retailers. I think I prefer buying and selling used Transformers toys! The big box guys can't compete directly with that.

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.

We didn't post non sponsor news about black friday deals today because there really wasnt much. It seemed like just a dumping ground on the amazon front, nothing engaging (anyone still want Apeface?). Amazon canada was better but everything sold out rather quickly. There are really good deals across the web for a bunch of other toys though, some really good deals on Lego. But nothing of not for TFs this year.
