Transformers Animated, Exclusives, And Universe Target Store Sale

Dam....I got mine Animated exclusives at full price, and the Target store I got them from are all out.

I'll try one more target...but oh well I guess I'm outta luck.

That's enough to actually get me out the door.

Hope they still have some.

I'm about 80 miles from the nearest Target today so I have to wait until tomorrow when I'll only be 45 miles away. I want Sunstorm but I bet even if I brave the nasty snow storm they say is coming tomorrow, they won't have it.

The Shockwave and Sunstorm packs are only $5?!? WTF, I bought Shockwave a week ago for $25!!! Boy do I want my $20 back, I always get shafted like this... ah well, time to rush off to find Sunstorm!

I don't have the car at the moment. Hopefully Target nearby will have them in stock still. They had a ton last weekend. I want to buy the Sunstorm 2-pak as well as the Shockwave one again so I can have MISB on both.

Purple Shockwave and Sunstorm for $5 each?! We still don't have those up here and they're practically giving them away! Damn Target.

5 DOLLARS!!!! what a bunch of BS!!!! bought mine last week for 24 or whatever it was. sunofabitch

Yup, $5. I got both sets today... again. Like everyone else on this forum I also bought both sets a few weeks back at full price. Too bad I can't find my receipt. Oh well, I guess I have an MISB set now.

Man, I'd like to shake the guy's hand of whoever tipped off the news crew. I just came back from Super Target with both sets. What a killer deal.

There weren't many exclusives left, so I would jump on this.

This would be great news if my target wasen't flooded by blazing lockdown,and they haven't restocked universe

I just got back from Target here in New Orleans and got the True Colors Shockwave set for 5 dollars. I love the repaint because I can have the original TFA Shockwave displayed as Longarm and the Target one as Shockwave.

I'd like to thank the guy who broke the news because I really wanted this set, but refused to pay 25 bucks for a repaint. That's why I love this site, I've gotten many great deals at stores just from the tips over here. I got Cybertron Leader Prime for 20 bucks from Family Dollar, Ultimate Movie Bumblebee from Walmart for 35 bucks, and now the Target TFA Exclusives for only 5 dollars. Seibertron rocks!

As a side note, the Target I went to still had the sets displayed for 24.99. I was a little discouraged when I saw this, but decided to do a price check anyway. Turned out they were really 4.99. Makes me wonder if this was a legit sale, or just a computer error like with Walmart's 35 dollar Ultimate Bumblebee.

Thanks for the helpful advice regarding Target and how they stock...
And yes...it is NOT a glitch...the Exclusives are only $4.99...





I stocked up!

Wait, I just found the receipt for Shockwave, can I go get refunded $20 by just returning the receipt to Customer Service? 'Cuz if I can

I just paid full price for Sunstorm YESTERDAY! Did this $5 price just start today? I know mileage may vary, but Target prices are usually nationwide and this is popping up in a few places.

This = w00t
I'm going this Friday to get.

I bought the Shockwave set for regular price last night along with some other TF's, and a few minutes ago I went to Target and they gadly returned the difference for everything that on sale to the CC I used. They even had a few of each sets left. I scanned them , and though the shelves were pretty bare, it did say there were some in the stockroom, so it may be wise to check with an employee if you really want this deal and it seems there aren't any left.

I just used Target.com to see if they had any of the $5 guys in stock and wow, none within 100 miles of me. Gee target, why don't you actually offer things on your website?! Not everybody has one of your frickin stores right around the corner!

Target will price adjust within 14 days of purchase. If you are over that, you will have to buy another set at $4.99, and then take it back with your original receipt and get a refund. Did that one today.

On another note, the flood to ebay cracks me up. Looks like the scalpers are trying to roll this one out.

Checked Target.com stock and it said they were in the closest store to me, got there and sadly I couldn't find one. Just a few Universe Deluxes, Animated and Universe Voyagers, and one Leader Magnus. Might try again later this week.

Damn it i just bought a voyager on friday wish i had remnembered about this. Oh well looks like ill be making a trip to get Shockwave, sunstorm, hotshot & ratchet any way so i might as well take my receipt with me. The target over here better be having the sale. Last time there was a sale going on they didnt have it.

I'm pissed two that i paid full price and i went today and they were 4.99...I got 2 shockwave sets? Why the huge discount? I didnt see anything new. I wish I cound get the difference back it hasnt even been 30 days since I paid full price.

If anyone in Washington is able to get these and is happening to be attending Sakura-Con next week-end, I'm willing to give $20 US for both (not each).

So if you'll be attending, and want to make $10 for your trouble, PM me.

You'll make a Canadian thankful.

I picked up the purple version of shockwave today because it was $5 and also have the grey version as well so I can have one in robot mode and one in vehicle mode. Someone who is like an aunt to me got the sunstorm pack yesterday for her grandson and we were there today picking up some other stuff and she didn't want run all the way back into the store after going to her car so I did and she let me have the difference. So now I can get universe hot shot and rachet when I finally find them around the alderwood mall area.

No far I really wanted cheap transformers but they don't ship Internationally, I would have loved a G1 coloured Shockwave for a fiver

Guess youll have to search eBay

I think the entire toy section was on sale cause all i saw was price cut stickers. I managed to pick up Sunstorm. It was the only one left. Now i need to decide if i want to open it or not since i dont have either mold. No shockwaves unfortunately so it looks like the gray one is the only one ill have. But i did get Universe Hotshot for the sale price. They had the sticker on the Universe pegs and i pointed it out so they gave me the discount. Also picked up a few Wolverine figures since they were on sale as well. Deadpool kicks ass. (Comic Deadpool and Wade in the beginning of the movie not that crap from the end of it)Also got the money back for the voyager i bought the other day at full price. All and all id say it was worth the 15mile trip in the rain (monsoon).

Your Target may have these still in the stockroom in they're not on the shelf. The 'find in store' feature on the website showed 'available' at both stores here, though neither have any on the shelf. I went up to the counter at one of the stores today and had them do a search and they were all in the stockroom.

Here's the dcpi# for both 2 packs: 087-06-0105

I can confirm this, as i said yesterday, I found nothing on the shelves. Then i came home and looked online and saw where it said available. Called today and the lady said they had about 20 or more but they were in the back. So, definitely worth it to check the 'find in store' and then call ahead or at least go with the DCPI in hand if you're having trouble catching this deal.

Definitely make sure to take your receipts with you if you already got either of these sets within the last two weeks! They'll do a price adjust for you without hassle.

Snagged the Sunstorm set today in addition to the Shockwave I already had -- I like him (especially for $5; not sure I'd be as kind for $25), but I can't for the life of me figure out the correct leg positions to get his jet mode right.

Anyone got any tips/click counts regarding that? I could also use help keeping his head from popping off...

did target kinda negate the $8.00 sale by making the sets $5 i went to 8 targets in stlouis area and they were all gone, but they had plenty of the $8 deluxes

I scanned sunstorm just to make sure it was $5 and it said there were none in the stockroom. Im sure ill be up that way again this week so ill stop in and try the DCPI# for the hell of it.

Grag. My target didn't have them int he front or back. Typical really. Anyone have a spare SW/BB?

I got there too late yesterday. All the Shockwaves were gone. All that was left were Sunstorms.

10:1 a scalper got there that morning and but all the remaining stock of Shockwaves.

Fault Target for not putting a limit on these I only got
2 (1 to open up and 1 for a friend)and a mere 2 hours later when I went back to pick up a universe deluxe on clearence they were all gone and they had like 20 on the end cap.

When I walked to the toy section I saw an employee carrying Shockwave and Sunstorm from the back. I bought 2 of each at $5 and 5 deluxes at $8, then went to another Target and bought 1 more of each Shockwave and Sunstorm, 2 more deluxes and Leader Shadowsword Megatron. I spent $135 and on my receipts it said I saved $167. Cool.
I hadn't bought any Animated except the Megatron Vs Optimus with the DVD and Grimlock until now. I got Swoop, Snarl, Bumblebee, Ratchet, Blurr, Jazz, and Cybertron Optimus, in Deluxe. Leader Megatron, and the Vs packs of Shockwave and Bumblebee, and Sunstorm and Ratchet. Yeah me!

UGH! I JUST bought Shockwave last week!

Just a heads up, the $4.99 shockwave and sunstorm two pack sales are over. They still show on the website for $4.99 though. I tried to buy today and they wouldn't honor the ad. I called the main office and they said they were getting complaints, but target.com is separate from target stores, so its not false advertisement (how convenient!), but that they were trying to get the website updated.

The Targets that I went to in Tulsa had big signs posted that said the sail was good through Saturday.

The scan check said $23.

If anyone can grab Sunstorm for $5, please let me know.

I went to my local Target Sunday and got one of each. There were about 20 of each figure. I went back Monday night but every single one was gone. I can't believe that they disappeared that quick.

I can't believe that many people came for those so quick.


.

between what has been posted about stores no honoring the price that should be good til Saturday, the issue on the website, stores keeping stock in the back and the fact how low the sale price is leads me to beleive that it is possible somebody hade a huge mistake.

I would not be surprised if the sale price was suppose to be $14.99 not $4.99, and that the tactics being seen are their attempt not to sell anymore than they have to for below cost.

(as nobody has PM'ed me, I'm hoping a scalper is selling them at the convention I'm headed to for cheap, or at the lease that Zellers will still be bring them in.)

I just picked Sunstorm up from one of my local targets, seems its no longer $5 but back up to $22. Total price was $24.51. All the other TF's seemed to still have the same sale price, so ya it looks like the exclusives are no longer $5.00.

When I told my mom why I wanted to go to Target she said there had to be something wrong with the system for it to be that cheap that fast. Anyway, I really like this toy, and as a way of saying good luck, may Shockwave be with you in your search for cheap toys:

Possible update:

Sunstorm is now missing on the Target website. And it looks like Shockwave is being pulled as well.

edit:

Scratch that. Shockie is no longer on the site either.

I'm glad I have a Discover. I'm also very thankful to seibertron News for telling me about it. I'm also glad it was Monday, my day off work so I could go to Target as soon as I saw the news.

Well I got a Sunstorm, but There were no Shockwaves to be found at either Target I went to.

I need a new target, they didn't have ANY of the exclusives and the pickings were pretty slim. I finally got Onslaught though and he's SWEEET, whatever you do don't pass him up.

I told my friend about the sale and he stopped by his local target today and the remaining sunstorm was back at normal price. He did bitch about it and the manager said that they couldnt do any thing because of the system. I also noticed that both sets were pulled from the website. This had to be a screw up. A new set going from $25 to $5 in less than 2 weeks? You know some ones getting fired. I just can believe how fast they sold. On friday the entire end cap was full and 1 day after the sale there was only one sunstorm left. I have the feeling that every scalper came out for these. I dont think that im going to open Sunstorm after all. It seems that these guys are rare now. I really wanted Shockwave too. Well i got the gray one at least. I would like to thank seibertron.com and the person/s who let us know about this deal. I just wish i got there sooner.
