Urgh. As a Transformers collector, these prices are absolutely amazing. As a Transformers retailer, these prices are what kills small businesses. They are selling these figures for significantly less than my wholesale costs and its inventory that I have had trouble moving all year long. I love selling the new toys in my store, but the market is incredibly volatile when you are competing with big box retailers. I think I prefer buying and selling used Transformers toys! The big box guys can't compete directly with that.
You guys should jump on these prices because this is the kind of stuff that small business owners look for. Those Kingdom Rodimus Primes look really tempting at those prices to stock up for my store. I see his price going up in the future!

Yeah for sure, that's the ultimate Rodimus toy right there. Any fan getting into collecting in the next few years will definitely want it.

We didn't post non sponsor news about black friday deals today because there really wasnt much. It seemed like just a dumping ground on the amazon front, nothing engaging (anyone still want Apeface?). Amazon canada was better but everything sold out rather quickly. There are really good deals across the web for a bunch of other toys though, some really good deals on Lego. But nothing of not for TFs this year.

I'm super annoyed because a lot of stuff that came in stock over the past few weeks got added to their sale today, and it irks me that some stuff went on sale so soon after coming in stock. It's making me rethink the preorder process

You're not alone, a LOT of people have a bad taste in their mouths after the last month or so. You'd faint if you knew how much I got hit for in a five day period. The flipside is that you run the risk of missing out on the figure you really want.

The Pulse sale was only really good for either Pulse Premium members or people that ordered a lot to spread out the shipping cost. I had the Fallen in my cart, but even with the 20% off, after adding in shipping and tax the price was $5 more than if I picked it up at Target where Leaders are only $50.

We got some good news for the deal hunters out there. TF fan Chris over at the Cybertron Café on Facebook reported some deals he found at his local Ross. The Walmart exclusive vintage Beast Wars Scorponok was $15 and the Kingdom deluxes were $10. The deluxe figure shown below is Pipes which means it's the later waves which maybe not everyone found in stores.
Are any of you still looking for these later wave Kingdom deluxe toys? Will you be running to Ross? Let us know!

My apologies for the "vagueness" of this, but I was just at Target and was kind of in a hurry, so I didn't take pictures. Once I had already left the store, and started going over it in my head...
"Hey that's a pretty good deal"...even though they had nothing I wanted, I believe Generations voyagers were on sale for $23 (My local store had lots of AoE Galvatron, and SS86 Ironhide, so a great opportunity to get those new items at a discount), and Leaders I *think* were $35. The SS86 Screamers were finally gone, but the Galvatrons were still there. Now they just need to do something to clear out all the old Buzzworhty stuff clogging shelves.
My local stores have long since sold out of Red Cog, but you can get him on sale online for $22. So basically regular prince now, without the exclusivity markup.

Woaho, so those starscreams did sell finally, nice. I wonder if our friend Soundwave still sees that pile of them at his store or not.
By the way, the markup for Cog isn't for his exclusive status, he comes with a bunch of accessories making him a weapons pack of sorts.

It's cool that you could have taken advantage of the sale if you wanted to, my local store got wiped out on Black Friday, maybe I'll check again Friday and see if they restocked. I saw the sale in the flier for this week, but when I checked online it said the only thing that was part of the sale was Red Cog. The photo in the ad was of SS Blitzwing so I just sort of wrote the whole thing off. Man, the selection at Target.com is pretty dire.

Target really didn't have anything good toy wise for Black Friday. I think they are having sales now to move inventory however. Yes I agree they need to clear out all that Buzzworthy stuff because it's literally choking out the mainline ( kind of like what Velocitron is starting to do at Walmart). It is odd.that my local store got so many SS Galvatrons and Ironhides, but I imagine with the same many of them will move this week.
I'm just excited about the prospect of possibly seeing Sludge now that all those Coronation Screamers'are finally gone, at least from some Targets in my area.

Walmart really needs to figure out its toy distribution. They get exclusives and hold onto them for so long instead of stocking them that they then unload the stock of previous years to a market six retailer (liquidator). Case in point, these crazy findings at Ross that tf fan Marco posted over at the Botposting Facebook group.
The highlighted prices were $8.99 USD for the Walmart exclusive retro Headmasters and $16.99 USD for the Walmart exclusive Sparkless Seeker. Looks like Studio Series Perceptor was found as well. If you have a Ross near you, could be a good time to check it out. Also, looking at this situation, it wouldn't be a surprise if we see Cosmos at Ross for a similar price to these deluxes two years from now.

Just wish that joint wasn't so thin at all. If not for that, Wierdwolf was actually our favourite figure.
Anybody know if the retro Skullcruncher has bad legs too? Can't remember if it was widespread on the original TR release or we were just really unlucky, but ours has super floppy hip and knee joints on both legs

That's the point, all these toys we see at Ross never made it to shelves. Instead, they remained in a walmart warehouse and were only dumped to a wholesaler when they had to make space for the 2023 reset.
It was widespread on the original release and it was fixed on the new one.

Unlike others, the reissues did hit my area, but it was the issues with the Decepticon Headmasters from TR that made me skip them, mostly related to the softer rubbery plastic:
- Weirdwolf's cockpit hinge breaking from constant stress
- Mindwipe's wings deteriorating and breaking off

Checked my local stores tonight, no sign of any TFs. I would definitely pick up the Sparkless as well as at least 1 headmaster if I actually saw them in stores

They get exclusives and hold onto them for so long instead of stocking them that they then unload the stock of previous years to a market six retailer (liquidator). Case in point, these crazy findings at Ross that tf fan Marco posted over at the Botposting Facebook group.
The highlighted prices were $8.99 USD for the Walmart exclusive retro Headmasters and $16.99 USD for the Walmart exclusive Sparkless Seeker. Looks like Studio Series Perceptor was found as well. If you have a Ross near you, could be a good time to check it out. Also, looking at this situation, it wouldn't be a surprise if we see Cosmos at Ross for a similar price to these deluxes two years from now.

Meh, the only G1 Headmaster that I would buy is Mindwipe. H3ll, he would probably replace my TR Mindwipe which is more of a placeholder on my Lord Zarak faction's shelf anyway.

If I am not mistaken, these are the TR Headmasters, just in retro packaging.

My goodness. And to think they never made it to shelves in my neck of the woods and were going for scalper prices.
Lucky those scalpers who can restock at $8 and sell it for more than $50 to those who have no access to a Ross outlet now.

Did YOU have a hankerin' for Legacy Titan Metroplex, but you didn't think it was worth nearly $200? Check out this weekend sale at BigBadToyStore, and you could pick him up for just $99!
https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Product/ ... ils/203020
Like him or not, this is a 'steal of a deal'! It says 'weekend sale', which means it could end Feb. 26 (or sooner) and you may only have a couple of days to avail yourself of this bargain price! Move swiftly, mortals!

Dang....makes the $117 I paid through Target discount stacking look like a ripoff my comparison. 
.
That is a great deal. If the Ab Crunch on him wasn't the worst thing ever, rendering him nearly unposeable I'd say go for it.

Don't feel too bad. With the addition of the $4 shipping cost and the sales tax, my total came out to $111, almost $112 when you round up the change. Not too far below your $117 total.o.supreme wrote:Dang....makes the $117 I paid through Target discount stacking look like a ripoff my comparison.

Not sure how much of a "steal" this is, but Pulse is having another Wraehouse sale (time to clear out the old junk!)
https://hasbropulse.com/collections/warehouse-sale-2023
Basically for the next 2 weeks (or until items sell out) Premium members can save 35%, and non Premium members 30% (with minimum purchase of $75 to qualify either way) on select items.
Unfortunately there's only one TF item I might consider purchasing, but its nowhere near the $75 threshold, and I'm not purchasing extra items unnecessarily just to get it.
I'm guessing other items may be added as time goes on. I noticed Cybertron Metroplex is still in stock at full price (despite being on sale at half off on eBay recently) I'd be very surprised if that wasnt added in the coming days.
Current list specifically of Transformers:

That sale is a godsend for several things I wanted. Slug and Sludge were not on sale, but the sale helped offset their full price.

When Hasbro had their big surprise Power Days sale in 2022 we thought it would be a rare occasion to clear out stock. How wrong we were! The sale is back, now rebranded as the Warehouse sale. This year the savings aren't quite as good as the 40% off sale in 2022, but you'll still save a pretty large chunk off the retail price. With a $75+ purchase Premium members can save 35% off with code WAREHOUSE35 and everyone else can save 30% with code WAREHOUSE30 at checkout. And there are some good buys to be had including on recently released figures like the last batch of Shattered Glass figures, Studio Series the Fallen, Legacy Evolution Leo Prime and MPM Blackout! And of course this isn't just a Transformers sale, it's Pulse wide. The sale ends Sunday, March 19, but things are already selling out so get in there while you can!
Thanks to Seibertronian o.supreme for posting this in our Energon Pub Forums. If you get anything good from the sale head on over there yourself and let us know what you found!
