Still not as cheap as what Amazon was giving it away for though this gives me hope it might come to Winners. I would love to know the stories behind how some toys find their way here. Thanks for the news!

Good price for the set, I'll keep my eyes out for it. It's nice to have figures that can represent the individual characters, as we know that our combiner figures are going to spend a lot of time combined.

LOL...Amazon could not sell these for $12 shipped.
Why would Ross think they can do better? Personally, I would not give more than $5 for it.

But in a Ross, these are good aunt-bait. You know, the aunt looking for a toy for little Billy, but doesn't really know much about the things he is into.

Online stores aren't always better in reaching some people like those afraid of computers, or the ones who simply prefer brick-and-mortar out of principle (like me).
I got my eyes on the set, but they won't the Protectobots should I get them.

WOO HOO!!! I think this is my first news cred. I was very surprised to see these this morning. There were 3 left when I took the pic. I was looking for Battlers Junkheap and Vehicon.

A Transformers fan afraid of computers? What irony.
Brick and mortar is a rat race. Online is cheaper on your time and gas.

Ross comes through again. Curious that they sometimes get figures and sets that the big retailers don't seem to get. It was the same with 'Solar Storm Grappel'. And, $19.99 is a pretty good price for three deluxe figures, especially these days...

I'm way more likely to pick this up as an impulse / instant gratification than I am to order via Amazon and then have to find something else to get free shipping. I had no idea Ross sold TF stuff. Well add that to the hunt then. Maybe they will get the Evac Squad as well.
My usual discount store haunts are TJ Maxx,Burke and Big Lots. Well way to go Ross, you just made the list.

Ross/TJ Max/Marshalls are good for randomly having cheap Transformers (that Columbia store had AoE Voyager Hound for $9.99 and Deluxe Lockdown for $5.99) during the year and often a great selection around Christmas.

When I found the sets, they had a Voyager Hound, Deluxe Lockdown and Snarl, and Power Battlers Snarl as well as Hero Mashers Starscream and Jetfire. Unfortunately PB Snarl had a BAD stress mark on his chest plate so I passed on him. Tomorrow I hunt in the Loch Raven area.

Really? Thot they were based on deluxe Beast Hunter Arcee, Ratchet and Prowl... Or is it legends, or a mix of deluxe and legends... Ratchet and Prowl look deluxe sized, anyway. Arcee (Groove) looks a bit runty. Could be one of their Cyberverse versions I suppose...

Yeah its a mix. Only Ratchet and Prowl are the deluxe molds, they used the cyberverse arcee for the other one (another legends Groove haha). So its like getting the legends mold for free, not a bad deal if you dont have any of the molds.
