For just one day only (and the day is almost over so you'll want to act fast!) you can go over to Big Bad Toy Store and score a Transformers Legends LG-EX Grand Maximus for the low, low price of $169.99! This is an unusually low price for the Takara Tomy Mall exclusive, bringing it to just a little over the standard US retail price for Titans. Big thanks to o.supreme on the forums for pointing this out.
The limited time sale is part of BBTS's month long 20th anniversary celebration which occasionally includes some good Transformers deals. They're currently also featuring Power of the Primes Leader Class Rodimus Unicronus for $37.99, Siege Deluxe wave 1 for $49.99, and MP-29 Shockwave for $94.99.

Yep, ordered.
Now to explain it to the wife...
I'll think of something.

Now I have Soul Of Chogokin Gypsy Danger and MP Shockwave on order. I've never ordered from BBTS before, so would the delivery be pretty quick? I live in Florida btw.

if you used the flat rate the shipping speeds are reasonable. They tend to take their sweet time getting it out the door though, but once it does it's pretty quick.Nathaniel Prime wrote:Just ordered MP Shockwave. Way too good of a price to pass up.

From what I've heard paying for faster shipping tends to get things packed and shipped quicker.
I'd say 7-10 business days once you click ship for their flat rate shipping.
I have a continuous PoL with them and I'm never in a hurry. They normally force me to ship at least one thing, so I just ship it all.

NP and good luck. They're my go to online retailer of this sort. That $4 shipping and PoL is hard to beat.Nathaniel Prime wrote:Thanks for the info! Hopefully my first purchase will be a great one!

Out of curiosity are you double dipping on Soundwave (TR regular and Target Bumblebee movie exclusive) for your mega-city?

THAT is an excellent question....and the answer is NO. I fully admit my logic is somewhat flawed, but it makes sense in my head, as to what I believe is an *individual character*, although it does lead me down the path of getting more than the same deco on occasion.
It seems I've been talking about this concept, and making a video for 2+ years, but if I can get Greatshot and Big Powered before December, I'll probably do an initial version then, and a final version in early 2020 when I *hopefully* get Omega Supreme & Astrotrain.
Currently my Cybertron City is:
Fortress Maximus
Trypticon
Grand Maximus (on the way)
These 3 Titans will form a triangular formation, and all the *Leaders* will fill in the spaces in-between. Omega Supreme's eventual addition will make this more rectangular.
T30 Metroplex will be at the center of it all. Though he has no official connectivity, I couldn't leave him out.
Leader's
Soundwave (I cannot justify getting the BB re-release, as its *basically the same*)
Blaster
Sixshot
Quickswitch
Black Shadow
Overlord
PM Optimus Prime
Magnus Prime (I could not justify getting LG35 Super Ginrai or LG-EX God Ginrai, as it's *basically the same)
LG 42 God Bomber (see above why no LG-EX)
Primitive Optimus Prime (Yeah this one may seem inconsistent, but I felt it was different enough to warrant purchasing)

Don't know when I'd ever see them again for that price.

Mine will end up using all the same parts, plus the extra Bumblebee Soundwave, but I got lucky and found him on clearance for $13, so couldn't pass that up. I'll be going for a more asymetric design as it will have to fit on a pool table.

Not as earth shattering as yesterdays deal, but the previously mentioned PotP Rodimus Unicronus, and MP Shockwave are still present, also now are Siege Deluxe Wave 1 for $50, a pretty good deal if anyone has been holding off on getting these. Now may be the time.

Paid full price for a wave 3 hound since I couldn't wait on my Ironfist custom.

Having recently handled my T30 Metroplex, even the original's joints have a hard time holding him up. Metrotitan might warrant need re-tooling there anyway to be an up-to-snuff Titan Class figure, with everything the design team has learned since 2013

Think about the seeker mold back in the day. They did like 13 or more recolors. Surely they could crank out a few more of this guy before the mold falls apart.
That aside, it seems like they have been making the molds to release his team and partners (micromasters and parts-forming guys). (ie. they're available) I could see them using that as incentive to 'grease the wheels' for collectors... knowing they would get matching team members in the box. Crossing my fingers.

I'm never worried too much about things like this, as you can usually add some floor wax to the joint to remedy looseness.
But given I see where you are coming from. It's always great when a bot can hold a great pose.

Mine's still in my Pile of Loot because I'm still waiting to ship it until my next payday.o.supreme wrote:So....for anyone who ordered Grand Max from BBTS last week, has yours shipped out yet?

I hate how BBTS lumps the item's sales tax with the $4 shipping instead of having the tax paid with the item upon the initial purchase.

Did you use the economy shipping? I've found that when you do that method, they take their sweet time getting it shipped out.

Yes, and I'm ok with that. I just don't want it to be one of those *preferential* things....ya know, where I don't end up getting one at all, and they just refund my money, even though I know for a fact that I ordered way before this was out of stock.

Todays deals: SS-22 Dropkick for $13 , and a high-end Prime statue for slightly less than Two Siege Unicron's

Still stuck on "processing" for mine. I was hoping to devote some time for applying stickers this weekend, but not looking likely unless they finally get around to shipping.

Todays TF items include:
T30 Nightbeat for $6
PotP Inferno $24 (This claims to be the TT release which would have Japanese lettering on packaging as the only difference)
SS-20 BB for $40
*Also I noticed, for what it's worth BBTS (probably other sites as well) didn't offer imports for Siege, I guess they realized it wasn't worth it, cant blame them.

Kinda late to reply, but the reasoning is that Pulse is for collectibles while the eBay store is for everything Hasbro sells.

I have Roadtrap, who is missing his buddy, so I will go to Ross tommorow to look for Battleslash. Might pick up the others if I see them/feel like it.

Maybe they finally got that extra discount stock that was left over. And that figure was released as an exclusive, so they keep the title.
