For those not in the know, Victorion has been dropping in price at Amazon.
Lucky Logician reached out to us to let us know what's going on:
Not sure why, but there is a second listing for Victorion on Amazon. And instead of the normal price of $72, it is only $42.83 currently. It is fulfilled by Amazon. The only difference is it takes additional time to process/ship out. I just bought one and it says it is due to arrive Friday as opposed to a normal Wednesday for 2 day shipping.
You can find the deal here where she is currently $42.49: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0198 ... UTF8&psc=1
That si over 50% off. If you are still on the fence, you can check out the gallery here.

I bought at $48 as I had no idea the price would do this crazy dance it's done. I'm OK with it as I still think it was a helluva good deal.
she arrived packed in a case box, and the actual box is in great shape. so to anyone worried these might be from a lot of damaged goods or below grade, at first inspection she seems like top notch merch. Haven't opened her yet. That will have to wait.
I still think Hasbro, TRU, or another larger distributor is behind this listing.

I just wonder, as it seems retailers are trying to unload G2 Superion, G2 Menasor & Victorion en masse, if the same will happen with Computron? (I really don't care about Fruiticus, because I'm not collecting G2 sets, and it seems to be popular enough on its own) but did Hasbro notice a trend that its CW box sets were not selling in the volumes they hoped...so they did not produce as many Computrons? I'm hoping that is not the case...but I guess we'll see.

I think everyone excited to buy her now is a good indication that she has a lot of defenders

With the 15$ gift card I'd been holding onto, I just got these ladies for $37! (damn tax and shipping for using up most of the gift card.
I was waiting for exactly this kind of a discount to get them.
Happy dance!

Thanks for newsing this! I ordered mine a couple of hours ago now. It's an absolute BARGAIN at that price! I'm glad I waited all this time.

I ask, because the last 2 pages or so we have been giving real time play by play of the "Magic Price Dance" since it started.

Thats why I didnt news it, it felt everyone knew about it. But when we started getting e-mails from outside people, it looked like not everyone knew.
Posted by Kurona on September 20th, 2016 @ 1:52pm CDT
Well I didn't anyway because holy hell Victorion at 48$, but now the nagging voice at the back of my head whining about how I should have waited isn't quite as loud.
... could've saved enough money for a pizza though.

Amazon has a bunch of TFs listed as lightening deals today. It's across the board: CW (Victorion and some deluxes), TR (deluxes), as well as Platinum (Trypticon, Ops/Megs, triple changers), G2 Brut. This could explain why Victorion hasn't dropped in price anymore. Wouldn't surprise me to see Victorion drop to $29.99 for this lightening deal.
FYI, I remember Trypticon dropping to around $100 during the last time it was offered as a lightening deal. Don't think a lot of people jumped on it though, maybe cause it was around the time Trypticon won the fan poll?

G2 Brut for $79, Trypticon for $110 ... not the best prices....

Not very helpful, but you can find it from "Today's Deals" ... just filter for toys. The deal isn't until 6pm EST.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/goldbox/ref=nav_cs_gb?tag=seibertron07-20&
But if you click on the link for the actual item, you won't know it's a lightening deal at all. I just clicked on "watch" from "today's deal" and I have all the items I'm watching on 1 screen.

I wish I knew Amazon was going to drop the price this quickly because I would've waited. Even with tax, I would've saved about $10.
So I was monitoring the G2 Bruticus set on Amazon. At just under $80, it sold out in about 10 minutes. I very curious what the Victorion set will go for, since it's presently available for $72 and $42. I still think a price of around $30 makes sense for a lightening deal.
Since this is a CW thread, CW Leader Starscream is also a lightening deal. Since it's currently at full MSRP, I don't know if it'd be significantly cheaper than the current HTS price.

Sorry...you missed out. A few days ago HTS had G2 Superion & G2 Menasor on eBay for $30...they sold out quick.
I don't mind Victorion so much (as well as other newcomers Optimus Maximus & Sky Reign) simply because we got pretty much all the classic combiners and *hopeful* signs of the rest in the coming years.
Still...I wonder if Hasbro will reconsider their strategy when it comes to "Fan Built" characters, as they seem to be the most polarizing and controversial. Hasbro probably made way too many of these sets thinking "this is what won the poll, so all the fans will want one", without stopping to consider factors like...who actually voted, did people vote multiple times?, how accessible was the poll etc...

Aah, but we already got an Armada Megatron in CW - so I'm thinking it'd be something different.

Joking aside, its just an algorythm running so the price will constantly luctuate as long as there are a lot of buyers and product. People cancel their orders or more stock comes in and the flux continues.

I haven't combined them yet, but I'm digging the team. I think I like vehicle modes better than bot modes so far. Did they change some things on the cars? They look different to me. Could just be the paint throwing me off, or the fact that I haven't had Breakdown or Dead End in vehicle modes for ages. Gotta love a red firetruck as well. And while I like the arm fins, the Brava sisters are a bit gappy around the arms in copter mode. Didn't seem as noticeable in the missile versions of the mold. All that black on the motorcycle really looks nice, wish some of the others had black integrated into the scheme. I could probably stand the green a little better then.
My initial impression is that the feet are much higher quality that Computron's. I guess we'll see how it holds up once I put it all together.
I'm going to have to start retiring some figures soon if I want to have room for Titans Return stuff...
Breaking news! I just discovered a fourth mode for Rust Dust. It's not the gun mode people have been wanting, though. It's better.

...
Chair!
Combined mode really shines. I have a few small gripes, but I really didn't think I'd like this set as much as I do. The feet are great, the ankle tilt is obviously awesome but the toe joint really adds a lot.
If you can still get this for around 40 bucks, just go for it. Definitely worth it.

You can see it still uses the Bruticus head. But I wonder what they would call the combined for and who he'd combine with? Maybe Starscream (from Grand Galvatron), Thrust (from Grand Galvatron), Cyclonus (Alpha Bravo with a new head), and Sideways (Groove with a new head)?
