Target.com Circle Currently Offering 20% Off One Toy

I used this in store on Bee Movie Soundwave last Sunday. Guess I should've mentioned that here, while there was still a week of life in it.

My local Target hasn't had any new Transformers in for a while outside of the new BB Deluxes which were all gone. Ended up spending the discount on MOTUO Stridor.

I was able to get Buzzworthy B-127. The back of the box makes it look like the toy has a more golden color. I haven't removed it from the tray but there's still a ton of clear plastic and certain parts aren't pegging together well. One other thing I've noticed is that the cutouts for the ankles are far lower down than where Bumblebee is strapped in. I wonder if the card will be used for someone else who will fit better.

Used it to get my B-127 too. Almost used it on an Indorapter, but glad to find the Buzzworthy deluxes instead.

Gamestop has become a pretty popular place for many fandoms of late, thanks to their fairly regular coupons and their ability to get many items in stock before the big name stores or Hasbro Pulse. And now, they have another coupon deal that could help some Transformers fans out.

Gamestop is this week running a deal where they are offering 10-15% off select collectable figures. Those who are Gamestop Pro Members get 15% off, everyone else gets 10% off. This deal includes preorders, which includes several new and highly desired figures.

Some of the figures included under this deal include: G.I. Joe Crossover Megatron; Studio Series Sludge, Junkheap, Ironhide, and Arcee; Jurassic Park Crossover set; Transformers Legacy Wave 1; Some Selects figures; Premium Finish figures; and some Flame Toys kits.

Check out the deals by clicking the above Gamestop link at the beginning of this article, or the Gamestop logo below. Let us know if you get anything from this deal below!

Argh! US only. I've been keeping an eye out for a Canadian sale on SG Starscream...

I'm really tempted by these deals, but honestly I'm confident that I'll see these figures show up in stores months before they're regularly available online. Always seems to happen that way at least.

Good deal, ordered SS Slug, Legacy Optimus Prime and Crossover Megatron, saved about $20 plus free shipping. Was going to order Bulkhead because he's about $3 off, but he didn't qualify for free shipping which was also $3 so that seemed pointless. Hopefully Gamestop continues to get stuff a little earlier than most this year.

Is the offer dead? I don't see it.

My wife found this for me at a local discount store in Ozark, MO. They are kind of like a Ollies but not as big and they sell more food, pet, and hygiene stuff than anything else. Also this is a “one off” type store. They actually had four of these on the shelf.

I dont really buy Funk Pop but since I bought the 10inch Soundwave, I figured OP would go nicely with him and kind of hard to pass it up at the price of 10 bucks.. I think this was normally around 30 bucks at Walmart, so a good deal for sure.

Deep Discount has pre-orders for pretty much all of Legacy Wave 1 (coming 4/22), and wave 2 later this year at around 10-12% off retail, but almost 20% in some cases, less than what Pulse is charging (making them "normal" price based on last year).

Motormaster $80
Leaders $45
Voyagers $28
Deluxe: 20.67

The only downside is Core is slightly more expensive than retail at $11.56

Just a word of caution however, you can get free shipping for any order over $25, but you will be charged immediately for all pre orders, and are bound by when they receive said items.

Hey, just a heads-up; Entertainment Earth has Kingdom Ark on sale for $130, and it would ship for free with the promo code they're advertising. Thought this was a pretty sweet deal.

Best Buy added 4 more Transformers to clearance:

Generations War for Cybertron: Kingdom Deluxe WFC-K16 Huffer - $14.99

Cool, grabbed two Ractonites, now I'll have three of each (after I just posted that he's the only one I have just one of ).

Origins Bee hit 50% clearance at a Target near me that has about 30.

Best Buy has decreased the price of the Kingdom Deluxe Arcee to $11.99

Well I guess this officially makes Origin Bee a flop and doubt we'll ever see Wheeljack now.

I think they just overproduced, and had poor distribution. Remember the Decepticon Clones from ER? Many Targets had none, while some had 30....seems kind of the same here.

I saw my fair share of Origins BB. However I don't think there are any left in my area, but heck for $11 ( which is what I actually think it's worth). I'd get it.

I think it's probably a combination of pandemic distribution causing a ton of them to drop all at once when they were probably planning on a trickle over time, over production and overestimating what random people would pay for a small (but very parts heavy) figure. I think they thought just being Bee meant these would fly off the shelves, and they probably did sell more than enough to turn a profit and it probably doesn't hurt the chances of other new molds being done, but once you get past the hardcore fans, the casual fans and the parents you're left with all these people that don't want to pay $22 for a tiny figure.

Distribution really is dumb. I hadn't seen a single WFC exclusive after the Rainmaker and Micromasters sets in Siege but I've seen all of the Buzzworthy releases except for the Worlds Collide set.

Emerje

Agreed. I feel bad for all that wanted the Worlds Collide set, but never saw it. I had a chance to even get it at 25% off since it was in stock when Target was having a specific toy sale, but even that wasn't enough to sway me as I was just marginally interested in Fangry, but I'm perfectly ok not having it.

Come to think of it, I don't have a single Bee in my entire current collection to date. I had the original Goldbug, and G2 BB before I sold my vintage collection. I purchased for my son the first release of Animated Bumblebee (which he still has, but its a parts former since he played with it so much the parts on ball joints just fall apart ). When the BB Movie came out, I got that 3 pack of TR cassettes(tablets?), but the cheap-o BB toy that came with it, my son gifted to one of his younger friends.

But seeing Origins is on clearance in some areas has given me the idea to check out a couple of the more distant Target stores in my area. I have to go there anyway for other things, might as well check and see.

Origin Bumblebee is a very good figure.

Emerje

This is the sticking point I brought up in the beginning, even though I love the figure it feels too expensive for a "kids" line especially when you considers his size next to other DLX bots. IMO it's a $15 figure regardless of how neat and nostalgic or complex it is because it also has to appeal to the non hardcore fanbase if you're placing it in Buzzworthy line and not Selects or a main collector line.

I've heard nothing but praise, but for $22, it is just way too much to ask IMHO. Coincidentally I did find one for $16 today at a Target, it wasnt marked as such, that's just what it scanned at. I still passed. If I do find one for $10-$11 though , I'll probably get it.

This is random.

The Seige Refraktor set is back in stock at Amazon.com for 73$US.

Sure, but you were talking about US prices on Amazon.com, I'm just saying why he's available.

Hasbro Pulse has started their "Power Days" sale. Currently 40% off any purchase of $75 or more. This includes most brands,not just Transformers. But for TFs, it includes most items from the previous year, with some exceptions.

Still, if you have been waiting to pull the trigger on larger items such as Black Zarak, The Ark, or Kingdom Rodimus, they are all available at that 40% off price, quite a deal.

Also usually 2 Voyagers and a Deluxe, or 3 deluxes and a. Core ( you get the idea) will score you the 40% off deal as well.

We've seen sales on Pulse before and they tend to be a little underwhelming on the Transformers front with a small selection of sales items and not particularly great deals. Well not this time! Hasbro Pulse's new Power Days sales event where spending $75 or more in select figures will save you 40% off instantly! No coupons and no memberships required! And the selection for Transformers fans is nothing to scoff at. How does Selects Titan Black Zarak $107 sound? Or how about Masterpiece Skywarp 2.0 for $143? Or maybe Jurassic Park Collaborative set for what some would call the right price of $63? And it's not just the big stuff! The first wave of Legacy and Studio Series Core Class are only $7 each. There's also several Selects figures, a few left over Shattered Glass figures, even a few left from the Premium Finish line. I personally picked up SS Grindor, Premium Finish Megatron and Legacy Bulkhead for a combined total of only $86 before tax and shipping saving nearly $60. It's definitely a sale worth checking out even if you aren't looking for Transformers.

Sale runs until June 6, but you'll want to get in early for the best deals as stuff is already selling out in the first hours!

Thanks! While black zarak was tempting, I have no link to that character and it's way too big. I don,t have that kind of space anymore. I did get the jruassic park set, at that price I'm willing to get it regardless of the flaws. I also got several studio series toys that did not make it to Canada (like Ratchet, Brawn and Starscream) as well as Tricranius. I wanted that triceratops fossilizer.

Picked up an ugly galvatron figure, oh well, I can keep thre unicron bits and sell him on or go for upgrades and have it resemble the change on my movie shelf (until they do a RED reformatting version). Finally caved for the Ravage set, sometimes it's good to get behind on collections yay!

Another reason for you to pass on Black Zarak is that you already have Scorponok.
I did the opposite. Skipping Sporpy and getting Blacky.

Too bad the shipping price, taxes, and exchange rate still make buying those things "on sale" pretty prohibitive for us Canadians.

Big thanks for the heads up. I got Covert Agent Ravage, and Studio Series 86 Perceptor, Jazz, Sweep, and Coronation Starscream. I'll just consider it a Father's Day gift to myself hahaha.
I am seriously tempted to go back and order Black Zarak as well, since I passed on Scorponok...

Hitting this up big time! I do have Scorponok, but to be able to get Black Zarak at almost 72 bucks off is too awesome to pass up! Plus I love base and city building so to have him out with the others will be great.
Also getting Covert Agent Ravage, Artfire, Dk2-Guard, Lift Ticket, Perceptor, and Bee movie Brawn, Ratchet, and Wheeljack.
Saving 165 bucks from what I would have paid if I got these full price!

It's definitely a great deal...hindsight is such a pain . Anyway... I really want to get Gigawatt as a gift for a friend, and this is a great opportunity, however I cant justify any other purchases to reach the $75 threshold. I tried a few different options, and at the very least I'm still going to spend about $55 after shipping for a gift, and a couple items I really dont want or need.

Plus I'm going to a small toy show this Saturday, the first in almost a decade! so I am excited, seeing things in person is always more enjoyable than shopping online. If I don't score anything exciting, then I can revisit this Saturday night as it will still be going, some items will not doubt sell out (I think that is what Hasbro is hoping at least), but we shall see.

Best deal would be the Super7 GI Joe BAT Trooper that costs exactly $75 (and would be $51.99 after the discount and shipping).

You could also get 7 Core Class figures that would cost about $80 at retail, now only about $55.

This is the best deal us canadians are going to get for most of these toys, even beats clearance prices. And I don't really understand why you are including taxes since we'd pay the same taxes if we bought them at local retail, it's 15% either way

Deluxes are $13 USD, so 17 CAD instead of 35 CAD if bought locally
Voyagers (and that exclusive fossilizer triceratops) is only $20 USD, so 25 CAD instead of 48 CAD if bought locally
And the Jurassic park set is only $63 USD so 80 CAD instead of 138 CAD if bought locally

I bought 3 voyager priced figures, 5 deluxes and the Jurassic Park set for a total of 323 CAD shipping and taxes included.

If bought locally, that would have been 525 CAD taxes included.

So I just saved $200 CAD, so 40% off the local prices. It's the best deal we've gotten in a looooooooooooooong time.

Ugh, so many figures I bought for full price, now on sale...Covert Ravage, Jurassic Park, X-Spanse...too bad SG Starscream is already sold out.

I could get a bunch of $17.50 CAD deluxes though...just have to order enough to make shipping worthwhile...

80$CAN for the JP set is amazing. I thought the one I got at 115$CAN was the best deal.

I'll take a look but I have the feeling that everything on sale will be things that I already have.

EDIT:

Well, I did manage to find things that I cannot get otherwise. The total price wasn't so bad especially now that deluxes are 35$CAN plus taxes. Plus having Hades Megatron for the price of a freaking deluxe was an opportunity that I couldn't pass up.

Pulse purchase.png

I'm glad you were able to take advantage of this. I see you didn't get the studio series deluxes, do you have all those already?

Big thanks on the post.

Black Zarak was the first item clicked into my Cart. Only item I really wanted that I had go out of stock on me was SS Perceptor. Not a big deal as I scored him from my local Target for only about $4 more. Well worth the price paid.

I waivered on a few items like the Jurassic Park and the Tricranius sets but decided against, largely because I was so bad on this sale. My wallet hurts but I have good stuff headed my way. That eases the pain.

I was there pretty much right when it started to grab a Black Zarak just in case it sold out by the time I got home from work. Didn't realize I'd be home from work early today though and it's not sold out yet so I guess I worried for nothing. They must have given him a larger run than I thought.

Like others, I am kind of mad over this sale. The last time Pulse had a sale like this there was nothing of note available in it. This time it's almost everything. I picked up multiples of some of these at full price and I could've had them at 40% off. I can't be too mad though as it's not like anyone saw this coming as again, last sale had nothing included in it. It is what it is and there's no use getting mad. It's also not like I knew some of those weren't going to come close to selling out either.

There's still a few more things I'm going to pick up but have to wait until later today or tomorrow to get them.

william-james88 wrote:I'm glad you were able to take advantage of this. I see you didn't get the studio series deluxes, do you have all those already?

Either I already have them, or had zero interests in them.
I rarely buy SS Bay Transformers. I mostly aim for my favorites.

Also, a shame that the Legacy deluxes were not part of the deal. Not only I'll have to pay full price, but I'll have to wait until July for Amazon to deliver.

I am very glad I was hesitating on this. This sale was a godsend!

Wow, Pulse already shipped my Premium Finish SS Megatron. I thought it would be a few days for them to start getting stuff out.

I'm glad people are getting a lot out of this sale, it really made it worth posting about. I remember one year when they did this sale they only thing they had for Transformers was like 3 old figures that nobody wanted, it was more of a Star Wars and Marvel sale. This was a very pleasant surprise.

The amount of stuff on sale is truly shocking. They must have really wanted to move some stock, i am grateful for the sale!

I only wish SS Devastator and Selects Volcanicus had still been around, this sale would have been great for them

D-Maximal_Primal wrote:I only wish SS Devastator and Selects Volcanicus had still been around, this sale would have been great for them

The SS Devastator and Selects Abominus were among the things that sold out in the first hour of the sale. Looks like they're slowly cleaning up some of the sales listing, though MP Starscream 2.0 was also sold out in the first hour and is still listed.

Things I'm surprised have yet to sell out:
Black Zarak (massive savings on an amazing Titan)
Commander Class Rodimus Prime (a lot of people said he should have been a Leader)
Shattered Glass Goldbug (fun, good looking figure and the price made him a good deal)
SS Sweep (I was sure the arm builders would snap him up quick)
Agent Ravage (either his initial sales weren't good or they made way too many)
Selects Galvatron (some people prefer toy or Galvatron II colors)
Jurassic Park Collaborative (a much fairer price for a very simple deluxe and a Leader repaint)
Selects Guard and Lift-Ticket (new Diaclone repaints and Guard only just showed up at some stores)

Emerje

Having known, I would have bought DK-Guard at that sale, rather than the absurd 45$CAN plus taxes (36$US) at Toys R Us.

Saweeeet! Great selection! Picked up ss86 starscream, ss86 jazz, ss86 blurr, ss86 wreck-gar x2, kingdom ark, kingdom rodimus, kingdom magnus, kingdom warpath, and gs artfire.

Looks like I should have waited for Bulkhead...

I got SS Brawn and Legacy Iguanus since those were the only ones I was after that were still in stock. I was thinking about Wreck-Gar, but he was gone by the time I logged in . Instead I got a SS Wheeljack for my brother who doesn't have a Pulse account, and that cool-looking Blaster vs. Soundwave t-shirt since they're some of my favourites.
