Thanks to a heads up from seibertronian EmoTim, we have news that the Robosen autoconverting Optimus Prime figure is currently at its lowest observed price online on Best Buys website at $549.99, which is $150 off the normal retail price. This puts Prime around the original cost of a Haslab Unicron.
Robosen Prime is an autoconverting figure that you can program to do all kinds of things like dance, fight, and more, in addition to his baseline transformation. We will warn you though, once you power him off, he will not stand on his own. He is purely a figure to command, not one to play with.
If you were on the fence about him before, this may be your best chance to get a hold of one!

Huh. That's how much Robosen was selling it at BotCon this past weekend. It was a convention-exclusive discount.

Any discount is welcome, but it's still too high a price for anyone but the wealthiest, most hardcore collectors.

Let's also keep in mind that this is the smaller second version rather than the original much bigger and way more expensive version.

Cool, ordered both. Weird that Prime isn't even in stock and they've still discounted him like that. Also noticed while Primal is discounted from the "list price" Prime is off the "typical price" weird because it makes Prime's deal look less impressive even though it's the same price.

Gamestop is doing a collectibles sale similar to the ones that Target does on full priced in stock items.
Spend $75 save 10%
Spend $125 save 20%
They also have a bunch of stuff on clearance.
My order:
Pop! Unicron (on clearance for $14.99)
Gamer Edition Cliffjumper, Barricade and Megatron
SS86 Brawn
SS RotB Rhinox
Legacy Nemesis Leo Prime
Saved $36 on the new figures which is sort of like getting a Voyager free.

I know this will be different based on region and possibly even individual store,
but I just returned my Buzzworthy SS86 Ironhide and Prowl 2-pack, and bought it back for 50% off.
With a RedCard, even after tax it was < $30.
Now I'm up for attempting that surgery; just need to get a couple of those "specialized tools".

Some of those Marvel Legends 60th anniversary sets are on sale too. The stand that comes with Hawkeye works with Nemesis I think.

Haven't even seen those in stores yet.
[edit] Stopped by after work this morning. They finally added price tags, but still no figures, let alone on clearance.

It has been interesting to see the differences in the Target stores near me;
They're all within a 30-40 mile radius, and both the stock and the prices have varied greatly.
The store nearest me just got Towline in within the last week and a half... But the others had him within the first two weeks of August.

Target is doing their Circle Week sale this week. $10 off $50 and $25 off $100 in toys. They have the Troop 4 pack and Armada Megatron in stock and MPM Bonecrusher still available for pre-order and you can use the deals more than once. I canceled my old Bonecrusher order and ordered it again to save $25.

It was just within the last two weeks that figures from the Velocitron Speedia 500 collection started popping up at American discount retailer Ross stores, including thethe highly elusive Cosmos.
Now Target is sending Buzzworthy Bumblebee figures to Ross, as well. SS86 Cliffjumper, SS86 cartoon deco Kup, and SS B-127 were all found at a Ross store in West Bountiful, Utah.
And if that wasn't enough, Seibertronian Casey280 found Shattered Glass Slicer and Exo-Suit, a Hasbro Pulse exclusive, at a Ross in the Vintage Oaks Shopping Center in Novato, California. Photo proof is provided below.
So have you found any retailer exclusives at discount/closeout stores in your part of the world? Send us a photo and where you found them to us to let the Seibertron community know.

I’ve been to every Ross in the area looking for the Buzzworthy deluxes (specifically the Bayverse Bees), but never found any. I did find some of the repacked ROTB Energon Igniters though, the ROTF Megatron one is actually really good! Much more articulation and a more involved transformation than the others

Really? I'm surprised, I thought he was readily available, at least for a time, like Towline and the NEST guys.
Also, people on social media are correcting us about an assumption that these exclusives are not coming from the retailers but from Hasbro themselves. I'm wondering if that's just a technical correction or more.
Because an exclusive means that all units produced are sold to an exclusive retailer, nationally. So all orders are accounted for, everything's been bought. If, as they say, Hasbro is the one sending these exclusives to Ross, is it simply that Walmart/Target don't have space for all that they already ordered and thus are asking Hasbro to not ship them the rest of the order and just dump it on their behalf? Or is it product that was not ordered by Walmart afterall and Hasbro is themselves recuperating costs by dumping it for retailers?
The later doesnt make much sense to me since Hasbro could just sell their product online as they have in the past (either on e-bay or pulse).
Just wanted to know if people had more info on this, since i do want to get the news right.

Target.com has the Studio Series 100 Bumblebee for $19.99. It looks like it's limited to 1 per purchase or maybe there is just 1 left total?

Pretty sure you're correct. The only reason these would be coming from Hasbro is if the stores sent them back, which doesn't sound right since retailers are more than capable to getting rid of their own unsold stock. If it was stock that the stores didn't take then Hasbro would just sell them on Pulse like they already do. The only thing that looks to be coming from Hasbro is the Shattered Glass figures. But that doesn't mean everything is coming from Hasbro, this is just when they're getting all their Holiday stock into stores at once.

Because an exclusive means that all units produced are sold to an exclusive retailer, nationally. So all orders are accounted for, everything's been bought. If, as they say, Hasbro is the one sending these exclusives to Ross, is it simply that Walmart/Target don't have space for all that they already ordered and thus are asking Hasbro to not ship them the rest of the order and just dump it on their behalf? Or is it product that was not ordered by Walmart afterall and Hasbro is themselves recuperating costs by dumping it for retailers?
The later doesnt make much sense to me since Hasbro could just sell their product online as they have in the past (either on e-bay or pulse).
Just wanted to know if people had more info on this, since i do want to get the news right.

I'd be happier if the wheels rolled better. They barely turn at all.

Ollie's email today mentions Transformers and Hasbro as being part of their, "Toy Closeout Headquarters" and have purchased, "Over 1500 Truckloads".
I have an Ollie's near me but haven't been in a while. Has anyone noticed any good deals?

I took advantage of the Target 25% off sale to get a second troop builder yesterday morning. Opened it in the afternoon, and discovered the Seeker and the Autotrooper were missing. Was able to return the pack, but I haven't gotten the discount back.

Target has Transformers on sale at 15% off regular price. If you haven't used your 25% off one toy and $5 off a toy purchase, then this may be the time to use them. I bought the Troop Builder 4 Pack for less than $50 total with tax.

Yeah, I went for it.
Between two promos, and having a Red Card, it was only $43.61 after tax.

Five sets! That's a quite hefty troop you've built. I think all 4 figures in this set are pretty solid though. Especially, for me, is that really cool Animated Universe Autotrooper.
