Yeah, I don't have a Ross in the state, but I've seen a few people post about this in the forums. I guess I just assumed they'd already been in the news.
Don't bother checking TJMaxx, they're full priced there.

I'm surprised to hear that. I don't think I've ever seen "full priced" Transformers at Marshall's or TJ Maxx before.

I'm pretty sure he's talking about Titans Return Deluxe Class Windblade, which you can find at a markup on Amazon.com. Supply and demand dictates price!

I think he's referring to the Titans Return version, the wave that never showed up at retail almost anywhere.

They botched the original price, saying it was $20-something so they only marked it down to $16.99 or so. I had posted a photo of the price tag, but can't find it, it's on the forum somewhere. Others have found the same thing so it's a chain-wide issue.

Ditto, last TFs I saw at TJ Max were deluxe Combiner Wars figures wave 6 and AoE deluxes at Marshalls. Been kind of a drought at the discount stores as of late.Kyleor wrote:Lucky, I haven't seen any Transformers in any Marshalls/TJ Maxx/Ross near me in about a year I think.

I was following the Trypticon Ollies thread from about a month ago and came across this in the sales flyer for starting tomorrow, Thursday 5/17/2018. It's not as good as the previously reported $12 or so, but this is still a pretty great deal for a pretty cool Transformer.

If you're a scalper, and you go buy them up, I don't wish you harm. Although I really hope you have a tire blow out and have to unload your trunk to get to your spare tire or jack or tools, and it's raining, and all the boxes and your profits are ruined.
Just sayin'.

I've got access to an Ollie's about 10 minutes from my house. Hope it's still there and I can use my 15% off coupon....

Now this price may not surprise many people, seeing as how we have had sightings of Trypticon at Ollies for as low as $12 in the past month or 2, but this is the first time it is being advertised, and it must be a big deal if it made Ollies catalog. The original price for this figure was $149.99 (instead of the advertised $139.99, which was a price found on later, price lowered units), so this is a $100 savings if you can find the figure! The sale is listed as officially starting tomorrow.
Ready to hunt down the giant Decepticon kaiju? Good luck hunting, and let us know if you find 1 or many more in the comments section below as well as in our Toy Haul Thread!

Went back Wednesday to get another shot of the price tag on Triggerhappy showing $16.99 based on an original $22! Still a dollar cheaper than Walgreens...
They also had a random Voyager Optimus Prime in a mangled box for an excellent $12.99. Sure, that makes sense. Passed since I already have two.

That just occurred to me last night. Perhaps the reason why these have sold so inexpensively is that these are the initial "bad batch" (Hip spring too big, warped green plastic door etc...), has anyone opened and played with any of these (even the previous $20 ones), to confirm? For what its worth, My Trypticon was purchased at a local TRU back in September (never saw it on the shelf, just happened to look behind the customer service desk and had to swindle it from the clerk), and it has no problems. So I don't think any of us knows the timeframe of when the fix exactly occurred, or how many defective ones were manufactured.

What's Crackin'? wrote:My brother REALLY wanted this guy, so maybe I'll get it for him for his birthday. Is it a good figure though?
Yeah, he's pretty good! It's possible he'll have some problems with the hips - earlier production runs needed slight modification or they'd literally tear themselves apart - but if you think that slight disassembly and squeezing of springs (to weaken them a bit) is doable, he's absolutely worth this price.
If you do go for it, check around! We have a couple articles on this very site that run through various methods of preemptively fixing the toy's problems. (The very first guide was actually mine, but it involved actually cutting things up, which didn't end up being necessary in the end )
