Steal of a Deal: Robots In Disguise 3 Step Changers and Transformers Last Knight Allspark Tech On Sale at Ross, AllSpark Sqweeks Finally Found at Retail

Minor correction: the AllSpark Tech range does transform, though very simplistically. It's just Sqweeks that doesn't, though that is accurate to the movie

Ah, thanks! I thought it was just the Optimus-sized figures that do. I obviously don't collect them.

Was Legion Dragonstorm the one that never showed up in the US? Seems he's showing up at Five Below and is currently available on the web store for $3 (only 5 left). Worth checking out for what I've heard is one of the best Legions ever.

Their dragon mode photo is laughably bad.

Go home, Dragonstorm. Y'all are drunk.

If anyone is curious to see how good both modes can look, here is a link to a nice pictorial review

He and Hound have shown up at Ross too. My Five Below still has the TLK One-Steps.

First is the TLK AllSpark Tech range, with both starters and standalone figures represented:

Most notably, the seemingly elusive Sqweeks makes an appearance. Take note he does not transform:

The Starter Packs, with the regular Optimus and Shadow Spark versions as well as Sqweeks, are $8.99

...while the standalones are $6.99

Next up are the RiD 2015 Combiner Force 3-Step Changers, with Optimus Prime, Power Surge Bumblebee and Soundwave:

... priced at $9.99. No sign of Steeljaw, Thunderhoof or Grimlock.

Can verify TJ Maxx is stocking the Allspark figs too. My local one had two Megatrons and the Shadow Spark Optimus.

My Ross did not however they are still stocking the later wave TLK deluxes. A worker put out a Wave 3 ‘bee and a Strafe. If interested this is the Ross on Hwy 378 in Lexington SC. Go grab ‘em.

Greetings All,

HTS is offering PotP Predaking 20% off through eBay (currently $127.99). Additionally TODAY ONLY there is a 10% off code PICKUP10, that will get you additional savings. I just got my Predaking for $125.11 final price (no shipping cost, but there was tax) -Which I think is bogus, since HTS doesn't ship form my state, but whatever. $125 is certainly better than $172 (what it normally costs after tax) -it's certainly possible , as we've seen with past titans that there may be a better deal in the near future, but this was good enough for me.

good hunting

As of this post (7:24 Eastern Time) he is currently back in stock, I just ordered mine and still got the sale price + the extra 10% off!

I'm still crossing my fingers for that price and a 20% off coupon, or a great BF deal on Amazon......

I like the cut of your jib! Should be April-ish if they do, based on previous Titan timelines.

We have news to bring to you today that Target is offering a one-time 25% off coupon that incorporates Transformers toys! This coupon, which can be found HERE, offers 25% off a single item, and this item can be in the toy department, the sporting goods, or the crafts section. This coupon can be obtained by texting the word TOY to 827438, at which point you will be sent a text message with your unique code to use on any item.

One particular item of note is the Bumblebee movie Soundwave, which is currently on sale for $44.99, $5.00 off already, and the coupon adds an additional 25% off that. The figure will still be eligible for free shipping, as the tax puts it over the $35 free shipping limit (I have done this, it works!)

The coupon is good until November 10.

So send a text, and get yourself 25% off some sort of item that Target has that you really want, and let us know what you get in the comments section below!

Target has a few TFs on that small sale including the Studio Series voyagers and the Bee cassette set.

I managed to get Wave for $36 shipped, which is pretty awesome for a Leader figure, especially since the Siege Voyager will come to around $33 after tax

Thanks for the heads up! Got mine at my local Target, both Soundwave and the Cassettes, for a total of $58!

Is this Soundwave worth picking up if we already have the previous version?

Unique coupon/code per phone number? So cell phone plus a Google Voice number gets you two coupons

joevill wrote:Is this Soundwave worth picking up if we already have the previous version?

Not really, I don't think so, depends on preference. The blue is way more G1 (not purple-ish), the grey plastic on the arms and legs is very dark. The boom box molding could be considered better (I like it better). The eyes are painted with iridescent yellow.

but...

I texted to the right number and it wouldn't send me a code. Is there some specific way you have to type it in? No caps or something?

*edit: Never mind, it's an issue with my carrier. Gotta call customer service or it won't let me get texts from short numbers

I’ve already got Trypticon, but even so, this is a mighty tempting offer! 53% off on Titans Return Trypticon!

If you don’t have this one yet, head to BBTS for a really great bargain....

Thanks to a tweet from @Evochanger on Twitter, we have word that the Transformers: The Last Knight Tiny Turbo Changers exclusive 3-pack is showing up at Argos for a mere £2.50!

For those who might not remember, this 3-pack was a Target exclusive in the US, and it is the only Tiny Turbo Changer figure of Steelbane, one of the knights of Cybertron who got an individual retail toy in the same movie line as well. Steelbane comes packaged with Optimus Prime and Bumblebee, with some interesting red details splattered all over them that are compatible with black lights, such as can be found on the giant Turbo Changer Dragonstorm figure.

For those in the UK looking for this set, head on over to your local Argos, and let us know if you discover this little 3-pack and what you think of it in the comments section below!

Hm i can't see it on the Argos website at all and i would like to check there before setting out on bus ride. This is the pack where they actually have lil weapons right? Cos more tiny guns and swords and stuff are useful even for just adding to Legion-style figures.

Probably not the case, but I wonder if BBTS had a buyer go out to Ollies and get some of these in bulk just to turn a profit??

Can you blame them? Or they bought from any of the several salvage suppliers. Selling things for profit is kinda their schtick.

Indeed, it should be the mantra of any business who wants to be successful...

However, in this case, I think it is not likely. BBTS is not far from me, located in Western Wisconsin, as far as I remember. I believe that is an awful long away from the nearest Ollies.

Interesting, everyone is entitled to their point of view of course. But (for the sake of argument) "Toy store X" bought 30 Trypticons from Ollies for $30, and turn around and sold them for $60, that's "good business", but if I did that personally, it would be called scalping...??

I was going to insert a cheeky response here, but nothing felt right in this format. Just assume I was ribbing you a bit.

Without speaking for others, I wonder if the case has more to do with availability of things that are sold online for much more than the MSRP. For instance, say there was a limited store exclusive (Wreck Gar) that was just not found in many places because someone (or more than one) bought them outright at $18. Then, a bunch showed up on eBay for $50. I'd qualify that as scalping.

In this case, I think Tryppie has been available for some time at both MSRP and on sale. I think the collectors that may decry scalpers have had ample time to get him. So, I think this is a different case.

Personally, I struggle with the wait-and-see-if-goes-on-sale versus I-need-this-and-don't-want-to-miss-out. I mostly fall in the latter and end up paying slightly more than MSRP to get the figures I want online. (But, it is cool for army building, or the eventual customs I may someday do, to find the deals in this thread...)

I think we are looking at the causality all wrong. BBTS has other shit to do then drive miles to get some tryticons, especially when its not sure they will get some. Instead what makes way more sense is that this is the stock they are still stuck with from last year and now that fans can get tryptions for so cheap, this is the price that they evaluate their leftoever stock to be worth.

Well I got the bus to the nearest Argos and they didn't have that Tiny Turbo changer pack or even knew what i was talking about when asking about it. Cheapest Transformers item they had was TLK Deluxe Sqweeks for £9.99 and i got that figure when it first came out so I came home empty handed. Oh well. Them's the chips.

Depending on if it doesn't sell out immediately, how long should the BBTS sale on Trypticon last? I'd like to wait for my next week's paycheck before going all in on finally getting one and at such a good deal too.

HTS' ebay store appears to have a blanket 20% off everything. Some ebayers may have also received an eBay Bucks deal today that grants 10% bucks on gift items like today.

Of note, Seibertron's own Megatronus told us that he got Predaking for 20% off, and he recieved an additional $12.80 back due to the eBay bucks deal.

Please let us know of the great deals you scored and if you found other great deals. With this week leading to Black Friday, we are bound to get some of the best deals of the year. Good luck to you all!

Ollies, that bargain store that has become a hot spot for hard to find Transformers such as Titans Return Wave 5 deluxes, and a big place for Titan Trypticon for insanely low prices, has published their Black Friday advertisement, and that ad includes The Last Knight Cogman for $5.99 as part of its headline deals! Cogman was very hard to find last year when he was released, with very few sightings of the figure anywhere in the world. And now, he's everywhere, on the eve of his new Studio Series repaint as well.

Check out the advertisement below, and get ready to go hunting for Cogmans!

I may wanna try for that Home Alone set.

Found one at Ross a few months ago for $7.99, so this doesn't irk me much at all. Ollie's seems to be mostly in the Midwest and East Coast, no? Those of us in the West are kind of screwed with these deals otherwise.

Sabrblade wrote:I may wanna try for that Home Alone set.

Wish my area could support an Olie's

Hey folks, went looking in my local ollie's for Cogmen, just in case they had some out early. Not much besides a couple overlords and alt-modes boxes...

But I did find Legends Class Cosmos from Titans Return. I'm not sure if this has already been reported but it was news to me. Didn't see Seaspray, but I'd have to assume they shipped together. They didn't have a sticker on Cosmos so I couldn't buy one. An employee guessed it would be $4.99.

There's a deal right now with Samsung Pay. They're offering 30% cash back on toy purchases from Walmart. So unfortunately it's not an instant savings. As with other CB sites, it takes time to process. But 30% is nice. So I pulled the trigger on Predaking. $150 after tax but with $41 in cash back.

Sabrblade wrote:I may wanna try for that Home Alone set.

Wow...how is there 5 Home Alone films? I only ever saw the first 2. I knew of a 3rd, but since it wasn't MaCully Culkin, I never bothered with it.

Still not driving nearly 2000 miles to Alabama (my nearest Ollies ). The idea of a TR compatible Cogman is really appealing, I just wonder if the Studio Series release head will alto be TR size... .

O, I'm pretty sure the SS Cogman is a straight up re-release with a nicer paint job. The head should be the same.

Cobotron wrote:O, I'm pretty sure the SS Cogman is a straight up re-release with a nicer paint job. The head should be the same.

Yerp and I prefer the SS deco and hopefully ease of finding.

The nearest Ollie's to me is about one and a half hours away. Not a bad drive, but what I spend in gas I could put on an objectively nicer figure.

^ Good to know, thanks both. I'm sure the SS line was in the planning stages for a while, but would some fans dare to think that basically Movie 5 figures were a *Proto* SS Line? Maybe not quite the complexity, but still leaning more towards that direction? I mean I know part of the reason Movie 5 characters have been so scarce in SS up until now is because we basically just had them, but I guess another reason is that they wouldn't be much different.

o.supreme wrote:^ Good to know, thanks both.

NP, anytime

but would some fans dare to think that basically Movie 5 figures were a *Proto* SS Line? Maybe not quite the complexity, but still leaning more towards that direction?

I'm not a movieverse collector at all and just pick up the ones that tickle my collector's pickle. I have been nabbing some of the TLK Premier line at the markdown stores and have been impressed with the decos and transformation. So yes I have the same feeling that the premier figures were the "proto" studio series line or at a minimum, paved the way. I'm very ok with paying a small premium for nicer figures any day.

For anyone living in the U.K., check your local B&M, because the one in Belper, Derbyshire they have a load of TLK stuff including the Walmart exclusive three packs, the last wave of One Step Changers and the Five pack of One Step, Megs, Barricade, Hound, Bee and Grimlock. Outside of that, they also had the R I.D 2015 Titan Changer Sideswipe and what I think is the One Step Drift (please correct me if I'm wrong) and the Titan Changer Bee from the BB movie Toyline (I should also mention the legends two packs were retailing for 5 Pounds).
