Year of the Monkey Optimus Primal Found at $39.99 at Ross

Darn. I knew I should have reported on this the other day but thought it wasn't news worthy. Well I sure was wrong

Even if you think something might not be newsworthy, send it to us. The worse that will happen is that it wont be newsed, but the best scenario is that we all learn something cool and you get a credit

Combiner Wars Groove is available for 16.95.

Is this any different? Someone mentioned this in the Texas Transformers board on TFW the other day and I mentioned Amazon.

They are the same toy but different news. We already knew he was on amazon and cheap, but nobody had told us yet that it had been found in an actual brick and mortar store, thats new.

Toys'R'Us has the Rescue Bots Firestation Base for $20.00 off! A great price if your kids are into Rescue Bots!

Target has Rescue Bots MiniCons/Targetmasters on clearance for $3.**!

After, man, well, a long time I guess, I felt like I just had to log in and post a comment on my favorite TF news site.

This last Christmas/holiday season saw what I feel was an unprecedented volume of high ticketed items on clearance prices. I've been collecting TF's for almost all my life, I literally still own my first Optimus Prime, and I can't remember a time when anything like this happened - all the box sets going to Ross's and Marshall's and TJ Maxx's. It really blew my mind.

I live in Northern California and these stores are pretty rare. We only have a few of them. But persistence really paid off. I just kept checking the few stores I can get to over and over again, and I scored almost all the items that broke the news here. It was like the toy hunts of yore when we would wait for the hunters moon and the smell of fresh energon in the air...but I digress....

It all started with that Computron dangit....I never found him and he's now my Loch Ness Monster of TF bargain items...

This isn't to brag but it really blew my mind: I found Superion and Menasor for my best friend's son for Christmas, an extra Superion for me which I didn't really want, but then fell in love with, two Fortress Maximus's (never thought I'd see the day, ever) one for my buddy and one for me, a Sky Lynx, a Sky Warp (always my favorite Seeker) and then lastly, after coming up short at 3 Ross's I found four of those year of the monkey Optimus Primals at one store.

Just amazing.

Thank you Seibertron community, thank you so much. I have to give nods to the other TF sites that broke this news too like Allspark and TFormers. I love all those sites but Seibertron is my favorite. Come on, by far, we all know it's awesome. This made for one of the most incredibly TF collecting years of my life. And I'm now going to keep everyone here posted if I find anything new.

Thanks again everyone! Keep the hunts alive!

Thanks Jackwipe, we always appreciate a deal and a fellow enabler. Welcome back to the forums. I'm in a similar boat. I graze at the other sites from time to time but Seibs is my Internet home away from home.

Don't forget to use the sightings section as well to give your fellow local collectors a heads up!

I'm dialed back in and will keep the community posted of any Nor Cal finds for sure.

Happy hunting everyone!

Awesome man!
Keep those posts coming.

Seibertronian AzT has let us know that Combiner Wars Computron has finally dropped below $50! Hasbro Toy Shop has listed Computron for $49.99 and he is currently in-stock as of this time. You can find Computron HERE! Go and get him guys: he is half off, and he is available for free shipping!

Very happy to see this deal on Computron. Finally getting this guy.

Aaaaaaaaand.........didn't even get through the checkout process before he was sold out. Oh well. At least I already have one. I just wanted a second one for replacements just in case.

Looking to kick off the new year with some bargains? For our Australian residents you can do that with Madman having a sale across their website. In terms of Transformers, Armada, Energon, and Cybertron, for under $30AU and individual volumes of Transformers Prime for as low as $2.99AU plus other titles!

Most Platinums are on mad sales at Amazon.com!

Americans and Canadians who don't have these molds, NOW is the time to strike!

Howdy lady and gent bots. Looking for some cheap RID Mini-cons? Silly question, who isn't!

Well if you have a fiVe BEL°W in your neighborhood you might be able to score some Mini-cons for $3 each





Kind of a random assortment.

Man, now I'm going to need to go check out mine! Gonna have to schedule a shopping trip for the weekend

Hopefully this is where all those weapon minicons went. Glad to look for things at 5 below after it's been stale for a couple of years.

Feed on this

I just learned today that there actually is a ross near me.

Just found what Gamestop is calling a clearance on the OG series 1 Alt modes for $3.97 each.

While Americans have been getting very sweet deals on Fortress Maximus, Canada was left in the cold. Well, enough of that, Canadians can now purchase Fortress Maximus for $ 129.98 CAD (which is the equivalent of $100 USD). While the item is listed for 149.98, you can get it for an additional $20 less by either going online or in store and you use the current Hasbro coupon.

The same thing can be done with Masterpiece Bumblebee, which can be acquired for $ 49.98 CAD (about $38 CAD) by using the same coupon.

You can also use the same coupon for any Hasbro purchase exceeding $50, where $20 will automatically be deducted, but we wanted to highlight these two items since they have just been heavily discounted as well. This specific coupon is good until February 2. There will be two more fun Hasbro coupons in the coming months, as can be seen below. So keep the links bookmarked. Let us know if you pick these toys up!

On the website it says it excludes clearance items though.

Or is Fort Max not included as a clearance product?

william-james88 wrote:HASBRO COUPPON . JPG!

Still, it's HST. Meaning that Canadians would STILL be charged a minimum of 30$ in FedEx shipping fees. Making the whole coupon thing pointless.

Better go to TrU with a partner for Maxou.

I was able to use it for Bee and others were able to use it fir Max. Just give it a shot, it should work.

And Kanrabat, you can go to the store and use the coupon printed out.

Had buy bumblebee off amazon toysrus.com where sold out of last I checked

The news is about toysrus.ca, not toysrus.com

I was about to buy him online and I then remembered that he was sold in US stores for like 60$ recently. Why would I be a sucker and pay like 150$ with taxes for a toy I might get cheaper in a few months? Worst case, I don't get him, which is ok since I have zero attachment for this character.

As the article says, you can get him for 130$.

And yeah, he was found in a US store for little, but we dont have that store in Canada (Ross) and the markets are very different.

Transformers Headmasters, Masterforce, and Victory are all on sale for $16 for the complete series DVD boxed set at https://www.amazon.com/Transformers-Japanese-Collection-Ikuya-Sawaki/dp/B004UFE2XM/ref=as_li_ss_tl?tag=seibertron07-20&ie=UTF8&qid=1485578626&sr=8-1&keywords=Headmasters&linkCode=sl1&linkId=7aafce03a1d613938691897b42eda5d6

You can now get all 3 complete series for under $50!

Yeah...I was a sucker after all and bought the damn Fortress Max at my local Toys r us. With the coupon, I paid 150$, which I guess is ok considering I payed 115$ for Metroplex 3 years ago.

I was a Fortmax denier but when I finally got mine at 129$CAN (all included) I fell in love. It definitely look better than Metroplex and unless they produced a ridiculous overstock, Fortmax will be worth more than what you paid for down the line. Even used without a box.

Hasbro Toy Shop's ebay store is having some great deals going on right now. The sale items are as follows:

Platinum Edition Soundwave is on sale for $79.99 which is roughly $100 off.


Transformers Age Of Extinction Dinobots Unleashed Figure 5-Pack for $89.99 (25% off).


Transformers Robots In Disguise Mini-Con 4-Pack is half off, at $8.49.


Transformers Robots In Disguise Mini-Con Deployers are half of also. Both Decepticon Fracture & Airazor and Autobot Drift & Jetstorm cost 9.99.



Be sure to know that there is free shipping on orders of 14.99 or more!

Now if only they had frikkin' Crazybolt

80 bucks for clear and carmel colored MP soundwave..still not worth it, if the clear was silver, I'd bite

But you're forgetting about the cassettes, too. Different color cassettes are worth it. Plus Megatron. And another energy cube, and a clear gun. Just keep Soundwave in the box.

Are they not made of the plastic that breaks at the joint if you look at them funny? Not GPS this time, I mean transparent plus they are fragile as hell before they are made of flimsy plastic

I have goatwave.
So far only a couple transparent tabs broke on him and the stock for the Megatron gun the sliders broke

If you were thinking about getting your sweetie (or yourself) a Transformers related gift now would be a good time. Hasbro Toy Shop is having a Valentine's Day sale! Everything on the site is 10$ off and includes free shipping! The sale will run until February 15, 2017 at 11:59 p.m. ET.

The promo code to use is : LOVE2017

Surprise. Surprise! Wave 3 is out of stock. Wouldn't it be a shame if the only happened to get more stock right after the sale ends?

Actually, that's exactly when I expect it'll be in stock!

for crying out loud.... i just bought something off the site yesterday. this would have been helpful

Wave 3 TR stuff has been up for ages, but it's never been in stock. More like a "it's coming! just keep watching and we'll get it eventually!"

If it hasn't shipped try cancelling the order and reordering it with the discount.

Has anyone here ever managed to get wave 3 off of hts? I've been checking the site religiously for ages and zilch. All my local stores are stocked with wave 1 still.

MFW I left Triggerhappy on the shelf because it was 20$ and I decided to wait for a sale.

Dude, its Walmart, they accept returns 3 months later. So I always buy it when I see it. And then wait for a sale. Like that when the sale comes up, I buy it again and return it to walmart with my original receipt. Worse case, I end up with the toy and never pay aftermarket prices.

Guess what? Found it. They had only one. And bought it. And I'll open it tomorrow. Screw sales.
