Meijer is having another sale on Transformers. Its a buy one get one 50% off. See photos.

One of our readers that goes by the name DADDYSTOYSFOREVER has located Titans Return Overlord figures that have been discounted down to 19.99 at Ollie's in Douglasville, Georgia. They were nice enough to send us these photos as proof of the discount. They also mentioned getting 20% off their purchase somehow but did not specify the details on that so it is possible to get the price down even lower. If you have not picked up Overlord and would like to, now may be a good time to have a look at your local Ollie's.

If you spot any good sales or deals please let us know by email or posting on the boards! Happy hunting!

Good thing there isn't an Ollie's near me.

Kinda starting to hate this Ollie's place. Kinda hating T.J.Maxx for not stepping up and getting stuff like this like they did during Combiner Wars.

Thanks once more to fellow fansite Ozformers, we have some sightings and sales news for Australian Transformers fans looking to round out some Titans Return collections: it looks like chain retail store Big W is having a line-wide sale, meaning that Legends, Deluxe and Voyager are all discounted!

In the images below, courtesy of Ozformers, you can see Seaspray and Cosmos for AUS$ 5 (USD 3.68), Slugslinger, Hot Rod, Kup, Hardhead for AUS$ 10 (USD 7.37, all conversions are at the time of writing, of course), and Blitzwing and Octaoaoane for AUS$ 15 (USD 11.05). Drool away at those prices, and join the conversation in the Energon Pub!

Overlord, Sixshot and Black Shadow were often found in branches of B&M in the UK for £12.99 - £14.99 sometime ago. Didn't get any of them cos they weren't my thing but you can sometimes still find them about cheap (particularly Sixshot, there were loads of him)

I think that was probably the "Ollie-Days" sale that only ran the last week of June. I bought 2 Overlords on Sunday, and the only discount was my 10% off coupon.

That was the Farmington Ollie's, which also had two Octones for $12.99. Haven't checked Westland in a few days, but since Trypticons also only showed up at the former, and neither had that last wave of deluxes, I wouldn't be surprised if they had none.

So a warning to anyone counting on finding PotPredaking for $50.00 at Ollie's next year: The store is not reliable! Fun, yes. But never bank on finding any particular toy there.

Make friends in Ohio that will pick one up and ship it to you. That's what I did since I never saw him in stores and I already got the LG. I did not want to overpay for him.

This weekend I get to see face-pecs!

I reported this a week ago. Guess I don't rate.

Yes Sabrblade, on this site and instagram - I posted it to the general discussion after I didn't get a reply. I even added my findings to the sightings section. It's all good, I'm used to it. I don't rate. My Ollie's has a lot more than Overlord.

I mean, did you use the "Submit News" feature to contact the staff directly? A lot of things posted in the forums unfortunately get missed sometimes by the staff if they aren't alerted to it.

Ah man, sorry we missed you! We're only human just like the rest of you (at least, I'm pretty sure most of us are. I have my suspicions about Va'al and his insane news-posting rate), and we do miss posts sometimes . If you want to let us know about news, feel free to shoot an email to news(at)seibertron.com to make sure it doesn't slip past us!

Glad for everyone who's getting a chance to pick up Overlord, Octone and Trypticon for low prices recently. I'm very fond of all of them, even at full price, so I hope those picking them up for cheap enjoy them now!

Like I said it's a good. I'm moving on anyway. I already asked Cyber Bishop to delete my account and all of my custom posts. Thanks, I'm glad everyone is getting Overlord at a good price.

Yes, i saw this on friday when i was in my store in rock hill, sc, they had like 40 of them, two per box. They also had blitzwing and octane for 12 bucks. Too bad i already bought my overlord. However, about a month ago, the store had slugslinger and other titans return figures so the store is a great place to find transformers. also trypicon was there as well, though they did not have many a month ago..

Anyway, there was a crap ton sunday when i went back so anyone in the areas, any ollies should work

I went to my local Ollie's last week after seeing Overlord in the sightings section from a guy in New York, as he was one of my missing guys I wanted to collect... like other people said, they had a ton of him, like 25 of them at my Ollie's. Also alot of Octone and Blitzwing. I looked around for deluxes and they had wolfwires on the shelf, but I was pleasantly suprised also to find a box on top of the shelf with another wolfwire, 2 windlbades a misfire and twin twist with flameout! I bought a windblade misfire and twin twist at 8 bucks (7.99) and also the overlord at 19.99, I think the voyagers were about 12 bucks.

EDIT: The person who I followed the tip on was Broadside27, so big thanks to him! Also, I got the Ollie Days discount at 15 percent off all purchases, so I wound up paying about 40 bucks for what would have been 48 or so after taxes.

CB can't help you with that.

But as Sabrblade said, you have to use the "Submit News" button at the top of the screen. That sends an e-mail straight to the news crew and they can pick it up there.

Slugslinger?! GIMME!

Slugslinger?! GIMME!

Slugslinger?! GIMME!

Pro tip - hit the reply button only once. (I am guilty of double posts myself. Just happens when ppl get excited.)

My local TJ maxx sells things at retail price so I don't go there unless I am nearby and bored.

So, with Amazon's "prime day" right around the corner, does anybody know if there will be any Transformer deals?

Nothing super spectacular, but here are a couple Prime-Day deals I found:

Those who use Amazon Prime have the option to get a steal of a deal today on a few different Transformers figures. A big thanks to o.supreme for letting us know and providing us with the screenshot. The first the deals is Power of the Primes Voyager Starscream which is being sold for $9.20. The second deal is Robots in Disguise Combiner Force Menasor, you can order all of his team for $19.33. If you would prefer a different RID Combiner there is also Combiner Force Galvatronus for $19.59. Please keep in mind that Prime Day only works for people that subscribe to Amazon Prime. Good luck and happy hunting. As always if you find a good deal be sure to let us know to help out fellow collectors!

$9.20 saved!

Sweet! 2 Starscream's cheaper than 1. Now I can make Thundercracker & Skywarp. If they get an official release I won't have to deal with the stress & the price gouging.

Thanks!! Ordered!!

Victorion is discounted on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Transformers-Gen ... S84RXCBN31?tag=seibertron07-20&

It must be TLK premiere discounting time. First Cogman at Tj Maxx, then I spotted Bee at Ross last week and now Crosshairs.

Amazon has Elita-1 available for preorder at the price of $24.97 right now. The in stock date is August 1, so if you don't have this figure yet & you don't want to pay scalper prices, the time to act is now:

https://www.amazon.com/Transformers-Gen ... ref=plSrch?tag=seibertron07-20&

A few cheap Last Knight bargains at Argos. The main one being Deluxe Sqweeks for just £4.99. Out of scale with pretty much every other TF figure but it's such a fun lil toy I often play with on my desk.

Credit to PrimeVsPrime cos I saw it on his instagram

If you have T-Mobile, you can get 25% off through the TM Tuesday app. I didn't see much in the way of transformers, but I scored a good discount on the 10th anniversary Thanos and Hulkbuster sets.

Saw on TFW that there will be a 15% off $25+ promo tomorrow on ebay. Thinking of picking up some upgrade combiner HFG and those upgrade parts to POTP Rodimus.

Anyone looking for Cogman, check your closest Ross. Rings up $7.99

Speaking of the TJ Rosshalls of the world. I spotted TLK Premier Barricade at Ross today and picked up Premier Sqweeks from them on Monday.

So far I've found Premier Barricade, Sqweeks, Bee (new mold), Crosshairs, Strafe and Hot Rod. Mostly at Ross and at least one of the figures at a Marshalls. It's been a long time since I've spotted any "good" TFs at TJ Maxx (mostly one steps and the Sqweeks RC).

Still no Cogman sightings so I'm hoping they still trickle down to the dirty south.

The Amazon Exclusive POTP Nemesis Prime that was once only available to Prime Members, seems to have relaxed that requirement. Now anyone with an Amazon account can order this item & since the price is $49.99, it will qualify for free shipping:

All,
Ollies currently has POTP Overlord ($20) and Blitzwing ($13)!

I had come to peace with not owning one and passing, but now you've done gone and triggered the desire to own this guy again.

Argh, now I gotta think about it.

Yeah, I saw it, but the shipping is as much as shipping MP BW Megatron and they dont combine shipping for some reason. The shipping osts as much as the figures in this case.

Sure man, the shipping is a little more than i would like in general for AJp but this is in the correct ballpark for average shipping from them for an average item; usually 10-15 bucks.
The BW Megs shipping price is actually lower than it should be due to its size, as they gave it a generic weight when they put up the listing. Instead of an accurate weight , they gave it a supplementary weight which skews the perception of what it should cost to ship. The closer we get to Megs date, and they get an actual weight for the item, that listing will probably be corrected for to compensate, once the listing goes active again.
In short, you are right, it is not the cheapest shipping but for an exclusive EX 2 pack from JP, it is not so far out there for someone who missed out on a domestic Amazon release.

Yeah, that OP/OP set s about 30-35 US $ shipped, which isn't bad at all. It's pretty close to what it sold for on Amazon originally. I missed out when it went live. Ordered that set from Amazon.jp last week and it was delivered Monday. Bummer that I'm out of town this week.

Shipping hurt my butt, but I had to look at total price to me. I may try and sell my OG WfC OP to make up for the cost.
