Transformers Mini-con singles and Legends at Big Lots

I thought Big Lots was supposed to be a discount store. $4 each for mini-cons?

Those Basic Scouts are probably the same ones they've been selling at Family Dollar for $5, so it looks like they marked them up 50%.

And they've been trying to unload those OP vs Megatron packs at Big Lots and grocery stores and everywhere else for at least a year now.

What other Cybertron Legends did they have? Those are the only ones I'd be interested in, although I suspect it's the same exact ones that were in the recent Target exclusive Legend "Team Leader" 5-packs.

remmber hasbro says prices will go up this is prolly their anwser to it

I kinda think so. Sad that even these figures are getting hit by the price increase, though.

Last time I posted in the toy haul thread I included that I picked up this release of Breakdown. They hadn't set up the display spoken of in this thread yet, but I'd found a display box of the U1.0 scout-class figures on the floor in the toy isle. It was going through them that I picked up and bought the Breakdown.

Looks to me like these are also single-carded versions of (at least some of) the mini-cons used in the K-Mart exclusive... wasn't it a 12 pack? Anyway, these look like those repaints of the Classics mini-cons. If I manage to get in there this weekend I'd have a look, see if there's any I'd wanna buy.

Yes the mini-cons are some of the kmart "no so exclusive now" 12 pack.
since K-marts days are limited they prolly get what they dont sell.
Whats funny the lady in the checkout told me tey just put those out on tuesday and told many people called looking for them.

The legends class stuff looks like the same makeup that was being sold off there, and had been discounted to a buck last week.

And I think Universe Scouts were KayBee exclusives.

the universe scouts were at dollar general and family dollar too.


legends were Kbtoys and Kmart exclusives

soon the "K" will mean killed off my walmart LOL

I'm glad I already got all those Scouts at Family Dollar for $5.

I'll pass on the $4 mini-cons, since I already have the original versions of all of them.

I'm going to look for those Legends though, particularly Hot Shot.

If you want those [4] legends class buy them at Family Dollar.
They will save you $1.50 each at $3.50 a piece.

Notice that the "Blight" in the
Kmart pack has "takara" stamped into his plastic
and the 25 anniversary single packed "Blight"
has "Hasbro" stamped into his plastic

I popped into BigLots and Family Dollar and Dollar General today just to take a peek...

Found the mini-cons and the Prime / Megs two-pack at BigLots but didn't buy any of it...If I'm going to get the Prime and Megs I'd rather get the repaints and I figure if I want a bunch of minicons (which I really don't) I'd just get the 12-pack from KMart which is a better deal anyway...

The two dollar stores had the Cybertron Legends, the Universe Scouts and the weird Spy-changer clear guys...I bought the little clear Mirage for $2.00 just for the hell of it...Coolest thing about him is that he comes with a gun...
