Soundwave is part of the line they've been doing of ornaments based on the G1 figures. They've also done Optimus, Megatron, and Grimlock.
This first try at a comic style Optimus isn't very good.

Em, i agree its not as classically styled as the annual released Hallmark Premium ornaments but for the price, i figured it was worth a shot.
We'll see what the reality is once I get him in hand.

Myer 20% off full priced toys till Sunday 8th Oct
Toys'R'Us AU - Sale until October 10th
I was at ToysRUs today and saw that they had a few items on sale, and checked out their website for the current catalogue... it's only three Transformers items though (on page 14).
Allspark Tech - $30 (save $5)
Allspark Tech starter pack - $60 (save $10)
Leader - $80 (save $10) (the current Kmart sale has them for $65, so it is best to get TRU to price match that lower price on the Kmart website)
Also, the website notes that they currently have 25% off their clearance items, so if your store has any older Transformers items with clearance tags, you can get an extra 25% off the price (probably some conditions on the website).
Target AU - Sale until October 11
The current Target toy sale catalogue has four Transformers items on sale, and it ends October 11th.
RID Warriors - $24 (save $5)
RID 3-step - $34 (save $5)
TF5 Deluxe - $29 (save $5)
TF5 1-step - $15 (save $4)
The catalogue is here, and the Transformers items are on page 9.

One other sale of note is a Cartwheel coupon that offers a $5 Target gift card if you purchase $30 or more from their Halloween shop (also pictured below). So dress your kids up like Hot Rod, Bumblebee or Optimus, and hey- free $5 gift card.
Thanks to fellow Seibertronians nycPrime and Emerje for the heads up!

Unfortunately it's just listings. They're not really available. The website could use an updating.

LoL it's the worst. Unless they recently fixed it, you weren't even able to sort by online availability. And i know brick and mortar store availability is generally a useless feature for most stores, it's probably the worst at Target.

Maybe the taxes are included. in that case, it's just the regular price. But if the taxes are NOT included, hello, drugstore type mark-up!

What about the rest of you? Is G2 Primus worth the dough?

I know because I jumped on it once I saw the price. You can order it from TRU.com with free shipping, or in store pickup. Or, you can just go to the store and price match TRU.com.
I missed out on the planet formers during the previous releases, so $109 was a good enough price for me. I love the mold and I like the G2 paint job better than the previous releases.
I mainly bought it for the attack/defense modes to add to my Titans Return mega city, but really like the mold overall.

Depends on how much you like it. I'm a huge Cybertron fan, Primus is one of my all time favorite figures & I absolutely LOVE the new colors. So.......uh.......well? I dunno. Really want the figure but don't want to pay that much. At least not now. I have a feeling I can get it even cheaper if I wait it out. These will not sell just like that Cybertron supreme Starscream G1 repaint didn't. They couldn't move that thing & Primus isn't moving at my local TRU either.

Yep, I picked up Cybertron about a week ago at that price. I saw it 2 weeks ago but didn't want to online order, but I saw it in stores and price matched, so it was worth that short wait.
And the mold is definitely worth it. Cybertron is honestly nearly as heavy as Metroplex and Fort Max despite being only half the height, mainly because the plastic is very dense on him and he is very bulky, unlike the city guys. The paint is premium and I love having a planet. You should pick him up

Yep! Go back 4-5 years and I recall losing auctions for it where I bid $150. Finally grabbed it at TFcon 2014 for $80 or $90 and was thrilled. $50 is a "clearing space and taking the loss" price, or at least it seems that way.-Kanrabat- wrote:Sabrblade wrote:The smaller one.

The price of a few years back is irrelevant. Prices go up and down depending on demand and offer. When everyone go crazy for a figure, the price go up. When people don't care anymore, the price go down. Best example is Leader ROTF Megatron. In the DOTM days, when people were coitus-interuptus from a leader Megs, people flocked to the ROTF one. Seeing a ROTF leader selling for 200$+ even loose was not rare. Around 2 years ago, I had a spare one that I Ebay'd for 90$. And my last one, I threw-up at my local geek store for 30$ in store credits.
Regardless, the main value of a thing is in the eye of the beholder.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Cos I like this design so much more than the old 2007 helmet I have, but the AoE electronic mask version doesn't fit as it's more of a child size so yes I would sell off the 2007 one and have this TLK one instead. I sometimes PS4 stream TF games like Devastation and Dark Spark while wearing the Prime helmet cos I'm a bit shy.
So yes if I can find a similar price reduction in the UK I would very much like this helmet on my shelf and occassionall worn on my noggin... meaning head.
