Transformers Creatures Collide Set is 40% off on Toysrus.ca

Still a hard pass.

I thought it was a good set, mostly because I didn't already have most of the figures they were repainted from. And these days - four deluxes for $58-ish is a great deal. Granted ten years ago we'd have called it a rip-off...

Well, if you don't like partformers nor beasties, this set sure ain't for you. No matter the price.

That set is a "hard pass" even at 40% off. That's the only logical reason.

You said it so passionately but left without any explanations.

He really likes the Beast Wars show but none of these are really related to it. Only Scorponok but its a toy redeco, so even a huge fan of the show wouldnt see much value to this set.

For those interested Best Buy has a sale on the Super7 11" Super Cyborg figures. The sale ends May 20th. They are $59.49 each, which is $25.51 off.

Shattered Glass Optimus Prime

G1 Clear Bumblebee
https://www.bestbuy.com/site/super7-sup ... Id=6535964

Personally, I think these figures are pretty cool, but are still way over priced.

This won't last very long, but right now the reissue G1 Thundercracker with the cartoon deco is on sale for $29.

Edit:

Doh, already sold out. I'll keep an eye out if it goes on sale again.

TFSource has Titan Guardian Robots on sale for $160. Lowest price I'm aware of anywhere. Plus they ship free since they're over $150 and they don't charge tax.

https://tfsource.com/hasbro-transformer ... evolution/

They have some other good deals as part of their Memorial Day sale, but I know a lot of people have been looking for a deal on this one.

Oh wow, that's a really good price! Thanks for the heads up!

Macy's has all their Rise of the Beasts figures on sale for 20% off.

https://www.macys.com/shop/featured/ris ... OW_TO_HIGH

Battle Changers are $7.99 (Bumblebee, Rhinox, Optimus Prime)
Beast Weaponizers are $11.99 (Optimus Prime w/Chainclaw, Optimus Primal w/Arrowstrip)
Beast Combiners are $16.99 (Optimus Primal w/Skullcruncher, Arcee w/Silverfang, Bumblebee w/Snarlsaber)

This isn't the newest news,
but Amazon has a few relatively solid deals:

Jhiaxus is $20.44 if you're a Prime member...
For this figure, that is a stellar deal. $21.48 for non-members.

Needelnose is $21.50.

Legacy Galvatron is $37; also really good compared to $52.99--$54.99.

Got another deal at Walmart for the Transformers Generations War for Cybertron Series-Inspired Sparkless Seeker Battle 3-Pack for $25, which is the lowest I've seen it anywhere. Here's the link for those who are interested:

It is now at $28.52, which is still a pretty good price, but it will probably go lower again.

I know a Flea Market store is not the traditional “Brick and Mortar” type store but wanted to share the crazy deals my wife found and bought for me. At the first store she found Velocitron Speedia 500 Blurr, brand new for 12 dollars. I passed on him initially but hard to pass up a price like that. Then the second store she found two Legacy Red Cogs, brand new, 10 dollars each. While i already have Red Cog, again, cant beat prices like that. Not sure what i will do with the Red Cogs but they will remain sealed.


SGM

Hopefully you can peel that sticker off the Cog.

I actually was able to peel them off without damaging the package. There might be alittle residue left from the adhesive but otherwise they came off just fine.

If all else fails, a blow dryer on high heat makes them relatively easy to remove. When I got Cyberton Metroplex from Target last year, they just shipped the Titan in the box as is, with a big UPS address label slapped across the front artwork. Just a few minutes with a blow dryer on high heat and it came off.

I picked up Guardian Robot for $70 off. There are a lot of Kingdom, Studio Series, and Legacy figures up, though mostly the ones you would expect.

Any idea if MP Skyfire is on sale?

chuckdawg1999 wrote:Any idea if MP Skyfire is on sale?

Sure isn't. Checked because I was thinking about buying another one since my first copy has the dagum foot-spring-of-doom they're so prone to.

chuckdawg1999 wrote:Any idea if MP Skyfire is on sale?

No. Any products included will have a red "Power Days Sale" banner above the product image on the search results page.

The sale runs through 6/26, and past sales that run that long have had new rotating stock included. It's possible that could be included later on.

I haven't heard anything about the figure, nobody I know got one.

I snagged a second Guardian robot after getting one from TF Source's sale from a couple weeks ago.
I also picked up SS Airrazor and offroad Bee who I originally passed on at full price along with 2 more Freezers and core Arcee who I also originally passed on. I also accodentally got SG Grimlock before realizing he wasn't part of the sale. Oh well, happy Father's Day to me if he arrives in time.

Anyone else spend from 8:00 to about 8:20 or so refreshing and refreshing and refreshing?

Oddly there's a couple Transformers that don't show up unless you select their specific line rather than just "Transformers". SS RTOB Cheetor is on sale, but doesn't show up if you filter only Transformers.

Very glad I have a membership now (if the warehouse sale wasn't reason enough) because the following cost me only $153.35 before tax (save nearly $100!):

SS ROTB Voyager Cheetor $22.74
SS ROTB Voyager Battletrap $22.74
SS ROTB Deluxe Airrazor $16.25
SS ROTB Core Arcee $7.79
SS ROTB Core Freezer $7.80
Legacy Core Soundblaster $7.79
Legacy Evolution Leader Skyquake $35.75
Lite-Brite Transformers wall art $32.49

All stuff I was planning to buy anyway so great deal! If they happen to add Scourge to the sale I'll get ROTB Bumblebee.

The ankle tilt is controlled by a clicky ratchet joint that has two issues: 1) the spring for the ratchet joint is waaaaay too strong which exacerbates issue 2) the ratchet/spring mechanism is secured to the foot by a pin. What ends up happening is the spring slowly pushes the pin out just a little, just enough to make it so the back half of the foot can't sit flush because now there's hardware and/or the front half of the foot in the way. Fixes are to either replace the spring, or replace the pin with a screw.

The sale is currently lacking in things I was waiting on. But I did get some more stuff. freezer count will soon be 8, and I'll probably buy some more before the end of the sale too.

I really hope that next week the following might get added: MPM Nemesis, MPM RotF Starscream, ML kid Omega, Nebula, Kraglin, and Blob.

So the figure is defective out of the box? Now I'm not sure if I want one.

It's a good sale, but also a deceptive one. For most of those the clearance price was just them knocking a dollar off and then the 50% off which is a pretty standard clearance price drop for them in the first place. So you aren't really saving much more than you normally would.

Hasbro Pulse social media said new products have been added. Multiple Masterpiece figures have the banner, including Skyfire, but I didn't try to apply the discount to confirm.

It looks like most of what's in stock is discounted. If there's something you want that you've been holding out for, now is the time to go check it out.

Man, the update was super rough, but in a good way.

Buzzworthy Origins Jazz is now 50% off

I checked my Target and they have the Origins Jazz and the Studio N.E.S.T. Ratchet on clearance for $17.49 (30% off).

Prime-Day Deals, as expected...pretty lousy...

https://www.amazon.com/s?tag=seibertron07-20&k=transformers ... OnOfaH5e9c

Yeah, for Prime-Day deals, they're really quite unspectacular. Although the Diaclone Twin Twist at $17.49 is pretty good. That's a great figure!

It's not a huge deal, but Core Swoop and Skarr are $9.99 each on Amazon right now. They're out of stock but are still taking orders for a future restock.

I think this is the lowest I've seen the Robosen Transformers Optimus Prime Elite G1. It's $549.99 at Best Buy right now. I think the previous lowest was $599.99 Here's the link in case anyone is interested:

https://www.bestbuy.com/site/robosen-tr ... Id=6534161

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.

Amazon and Macy's have the Rise of the Beasts, Beast Alliance, Beast Weaponizers 2-Packs for $7.43 (MSRP is $14.99, so the discount is a little more than 50%). Here's the links:

Optimus Primal & Arrowstripe
Amazon - https://www.amazon.com/Transformers-TRA ... 09H1MTZB2/?tag=seibertron07-20&
Macy's - https://www.macys.com/shop/product/tran ... D=15877442

Optimus Prime & Chainclaw
Amazon - https://www.amazon.com/Transformers-TRA ... 09H1K63H5/?tag=seibertron07-20&
Macy's - https://www.macys.com/shop/product/tran ... D=15877443

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.
