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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
