For those who might not remember, this 3-pack was a Target exclusive in the US, and it is the only Tiny Turbo Changer figure of Steelbane, one of the knights of Cybertron who got an individual retail toy in the same movie line as well. Steelbane comes packaged with Optimus Prime and Bumblebee, with some interesting red details splattered all over them that are compatible with black lights, such as can be found on the giant Turbo Changer Dragonstorm figure.
For those in the UK looking for this set, head on over to your local Argos, and let us know if you discover this little 3-pack and what you think of it in the comments section below!

If you don’t have this one yet, head to BBTS for a really great bargain....
Probably not the case, but I wonder if BBTS had a buyer go out to Ollies and get some of these in bulk just to turn a profit??

Can you blame them? Or they bought from any of the several salvage suppliers. Selling things for profit is kinda their schtick.o.supreme wrote:DeathReviews wrote:I’ve already got Trypticon, but even so, this is a mighty tempting offer! 53% off on Titans Return Trypticon!

Indeed, it should be the mantra of any business who wants to be successful...
However, in this case, I think it is not likely. BBTS is not far from me, located in Western Wisconsin, as far as I remember. I believe that is an awful long away from the nearest Ollies.

I was going to insert a cheeky response here, but nothing felt right in this format. Just assume I was ribbing you a bit.
Without speaking for others, I wonder if the case has more to do with availability of things that are sold online for much more than the MSRP. For instance, say there was a limited store exclusive (Wreck Gar) that was just not found in many places because someone (or more than one) bought them outright at $18. Then, a bunch showed up on eBay for $50. I'd qualify that as scalping.
In this case, I think Tryppie has been available for some time at both MSRP and on sale. I think the collectors that may decry scalpers have had ample time to get him. So, I think this is a different case.
Personally, I struggle with the wait-and-see-if-goes-on-sale versus I-need-this-and-don't-want-to-miss-out. I mostly fall in the latter and end up paying slightly more than MSRP to get the figures I want online. (But, it is cool for army building, or the eventual customs I may someday do, to find the deals in this thread...)

I think we are looking at the causality all wrong. BBTS has other shit to do then drive miles to get some tryticons, especially when its not sure they will get some. Instead what makes way more sense is that this is the stock they are still stuck with from last year and now that fans can get tryptions for so cheap, this is the price that they evaluate their leftoever stock to be worth.

Well I got the bus to the nearest Argos and they didn't have that Tiny Turbo changer pack or even knew what i was talking about when asking about it. Cheapest Transformers item they had was TLK Deluxe Sqweeks for £9.99 and i got that figure when it first came out so I came home empty handed. Oh well. Them's the chips.

But I did find Legends Class Cosmos from Titans Return. I'm not sure if this has already been reported but it was news to me. Didn't see Seaspray, but I'd have to assume they shipped together. They didn't have a sticker on Cosmos so I couldn't buy one. An employee guessed it would be $4.99.

Wow...how is there 5 Home Alone films? I only ever saw the first 2. I knew of a 3rd, but since it wasn't MaCully Culkin, I never bothered with it.
Still not driving nearly 2000 miles to Alabama (my nearest Ollies ). The idea of a TR compatible Cogman is really appealing, I just wonder if the Studio Series release head will alto be TR size... .

Yerp and I prefer the SS deco and hopefully ease of finding.Cobotron wrote:O, I'm pretty sure the SS Cogman is a straight up re-release with a nicer paint job. The head should be the same.
The nearest Ollie's to me is about one and a half hours away. Not a bad drive, but what I spend in gas I could put on an objectively nicer figure.

NP, anytimeo.supreme wrote:^ Good to know, thanks both.
I'm not a movieverse collector at all and just pick up the ones that tickle my collector's pickle. I have been nabbing some of the TLK Premier line at the markdown stores and have been impressed with the decos and transformation. So yes I have the same feeling that the premier figures were the "proto" studio series line or at a minimum, paved the way. I'm very ok with paying a small premium for nicer figures any day.but would some fans dare to think that basically Movie 5 figures were a *Proto* SS Line? Maybe not quite the complexity, but still leaning more towards that direction?

Honestly, I think that Cogman is appearing in the SS line because he was hard-to-nonexistent-to-find at retail. This is Hasbro's easy of getting him to more fans.
Also, I think the TLK Cogman has a far more screen accurate deco in robot mode-yes, he never transformed, but the small head figure and the larger transtector mode both had amazing quality paint apps that evoked his weathered coloring.

I believe you can use that for POTP Predaking in addition to the 20% off it is at now.
ETA: it is for use in their app only.

I am pretty sure they just meant Studio Series in general, like the stuff they already had and Cogman was just a photo used to represent the line as a whle, even if they never get him.

This sightings comes to us from California, where Wreck Gar was spotted for the price of $13.49, down from his retail price of $17.99. Wreck Gar was tagged as a 25% off item, and this sale lasts through December 1, which is this coming Saturday.
Also of note with regards to Wreck Gar, his Walgreens.com self is also knocked down in price, and his is currently $15.99 over there, down $2 from his retail price.
So if you are still missing your Wreck Gar, here are your chances to not only get him, but also get him for some great deals! Let us know if you pick him up!

I got it last week, full price. Then again I tell myself if I didn't get it then I would've never gotten it.

I got mine for $1.79, I suspect there was an error in the system.
