Very nice--remember, Target has the Platinum editions of the seeker jets and the Blaster / Perceptor set. 25% off of those would be a nice discount indeed!

whats the code then

btw pictures of an mp clampdown in ahnds have been revealed theres an article for it on tfw2005 for more anyway its probably a factory reject. The reason why it might be is cause some of the paint apps aren't aligned, the head is messy, and etc .Plus the ebay seller has sold factory rejects before too plus so its easy to assume its an factory reject

Blame Lego themselves. Ever noticed that Legos are seldom on sale, contrary to Megablocks, Kreo, and others?

Yup, now that they are the biggest(?) toy brand, they can throw their weight around and force people to buy their stuff at full price >:oP

Your right BUT Winner has been selling them at quite a discount. This set below is usually 140$ cdn (106$US) but at Winners, it was 99$ (75$US):

Not bad considering the msrp, but it's also a year old, so it's not really lost much value, they (Lego) rarely let their sets even go on clearance :BANG_HEAD:

Question, I am contemplating getting the target exclusive Blaster and Perceptor set but I would like to know about Target's sale habits. Right now, I can get it for 20% off, but if the item is unpopular (which this one and most G1 reissues are due to price and niche market), does Target usually lower it even more? How cheap have exclusives gotten in the past for Target? (Target Canada's everything must literally go sale not withstanding).

I don't have much experience with target online but I can't remember any good deals there. In store if you get lucky and you're there on the right day in the right store; they do some major price slashing. I always stalk the clearance end caps when I visit.

I've gotten some really great deals on games and figures over the years. Their exclusive Prime Predaking went crazy low in stores just a few years ago.

I have noticed that they are starting to copy Amazon and state how many are left when inventory gets low. Probably a dice roll either way.

Will, you already have a discount RIGHT NOW. I don't think the Red Labels would ever apply on online items so my guess is better safe than sorry. Buy now.

I tried to use this coupon in a Target store this morning. Went in randomly and they had Prowl, ironhide, Sunstreaker, and Mirage, so I felt lucky. But, the 25% only applies to one item in stores. The coupon clearly states it should apply to the whole transaction on elligible items, but the cashier argued with me.

I wasn't in the mood to keep arguing, so just left the toys since I can get them anywhere, just wanted the discount. But just checked, and online, the discount applies to the whole order.

Target exclusives go on clearance often, but it's a crap shoot. If it goes on clearance, the item will be in stores at the clearance price. rarely will it be online.

If you want the Perceptor/Blaster set, get it now at 25% off. That's $75 before taxes. You're not going to get it at a better price anywhere. I bought it on TFSource.com when it first came out for $120 and it sold out fast. Don't know if they ever got it back in stock.

genera rule, when it is a limited edition, buy it when you can. Sometimes you can wait and it will go on clearance, or a good sale, but there's no way to be sure.

This right here deserves a quoting. Definitely gonna be the time to strike on the Blaster/Perceptor set for me!

Don't forget to start checking Cartwheel app, 50% off one toy (a randomly selected one by Target, not anything you desire) each day from today through Christmas Eve, though I don't see anything on there for today yet. I think the AOE Leaders were a deal one day on there last year.

I think you should have gone for it. Unlike the Leader Seekers, a lot of love went into Magnus. Sure, takara was given a ton of restrictions but you can see how smart they were to work around them and give what I believeto be a very satisfying product.

Yeah, well I wanted to like them, but I got two of 'em and both of their legs' internal mechanisms snapped, leaving them stuck mid-rotation and unable to go into either configuration, so yeah, screw 'em :-x

I'd encourage fans of those molds to jump on that. Very, very nice looking set. Excellent use of chrome, many of them have chrome with a black wash over it to look like weathered armor. Really evokes the knight-like aspect of the designs well.

Would you recomend this set over the new platinum dinobots with the new heads? I like these molds but I dont want that many of them and I dont own the sdcc set. So I am wondering for those who are also in m position if its worth going for this nice set or the other nice platinum set with the new heads :-?

I was waiting on this set to go on sale for a while (I think it was either HTS or TRU last time). The G1 flavored heads/deco has made me hesitate on these though. Usually my hemming and hawing saves my pocket book some pain in the short term.

That G1 set doesn't seem to be well received, so patience may pay off on that set.

They are extremely different things.

Dinobots Unleashed set (the one on sale): with the exception of Grimlock, closest thing Hasbro released to screen accurate AoE Dinobots. Also just generally pretty and smoky and black which is a plus aesthetically for some. Includes Scorn, which is a really good mold.

Dinobots set ('upcoming' Platinum Edition set): A stop gap release that everyone will sell off when actual Classics styled Dinobots get made some day years from now. Includes Snarl, which is also a really good mold, but not the same as Scorn.

In short: the included molds are known quantities. If you want nice Dinobots for your Age of Extinction collection, black-ish "Dinobots Unleashed" set is the way to go. If you want Classics Dinobot filler, the other set is.

Takara's Black Knight Dinobots are the most screen-accurate versions of the AOE Dinobots so those are the ones I went after (minus Grimlock, haven't gotten around to getting that Black Knight Leader yet).

Man, I had been hawking this Unleashed set for a while. I wasn't a huge fan of these guys, but something about this deco is working for me. I love the idea of having a set of ghost knight ring wraith dino warriors. I guess I'll sit tight and see if the holidays bring anymore discounts on this set.

Edit: Oh, I thought it was a one-day sale. They're still marked down. To many pending pre-orders. this will go on the Xmas list.

Nemesis Grimlock is too dark/loud...
Black Knight Grimlock is too light/subtle...

What's a collector to do? Buy both I guess.

In other news, my order for Black Knight Grimlock has been placed.

Weren't these guys just on sale? I've heard some pretty nice stuff about this set.
I'd encourage fans of those molds to jump on that. Very, very nice looking set. Excellent use of chrome, many of them have chrome with a black wash over it to look like weathered armor. Really evokes the knight-like aspect of the designs well.
Would you recomend this set over the new platinum dinobots with the new heads? I like these molds but I dont want that many of them and I dont own the sdcc set. So I am wondering for those who are also in m position if its worth going for this nice set or the other nice platinum set with the new heads
I was waiting on this set to go on sale for a while (I think it was either HTS or TRU last time). The G1 flavored heads/deco has made me hesitate on these though. Usually my hemming and hawing saves my pocket book some pain in the short term.

That G1 set doesn't seem to be well received, so patience may pay off on that set.

I'm personally waiting for the G1 set. The heads/deco sell it for me, as I don't have any of this mold of Dinobots.

But, I'll be waiting for a hopeful sale on them as well before buying.

The way I see it, Black Knight Grimlock is what the onscreen AOE movie Grimlock would look like if he took a bath. The Dinobots seen in the movie were absolutely fifthly, covered in dirt and soot and so much patina. But they were all pretty much shades of dark gray and silver, as opposed to the copper and bronze that most Hasbro-released AOE Grimlock toys were.

At least, that's what I'm going with. I don't need a Grimlock that's blacker than night itself and straight up evil-looking.

I mean, I look at this and I see more dirty gunmetal silver than obvious black:

And the Black Knight Leader has the closest deco to this:

Either way that is a steal! A takara leader for less than a hasbro leader! I might bite

I keep watching this thread hoping it goes on sale for less than $70, if that counts.

The one with the strange green, blue, and copper bronze paint apps? No thank you.

I snagged the set of 2 for $60... it was a BBTS one day sale a couple months ago.

There is no blue, bronze, or bright green in any of the spots on the chest, belly, or shoulders of Grimlock's onscreen robot mode CGI model that they appear on the Platinum toy.

People definitely took advantage of this to buy the Blaster set as it is now sold out.... just as I finally got my US funds cleared for paypal :-(
