Transformers

Just picked up the Animated Voyager Shockwave with the small Bumblebee for 4.99 @ Target. Saved $41.00

This was a massive error at Target.  They were supossed to be $22.49 or so, but something got flubbed.  Also heard of a few folks finding the Target Jets for $4.99 as well.  They should have just put them all on clearance to begin with.

It wasnt. I am a Lead @ Target and I checked the price point. Believe me I was shocked when I was setting up the ad on Sunday as well.

Are they still $4.99?  I got mine Sunday morning at that price, but I've been hearing reports that the price got bumped up to the $22.49 or so.  Haven't had time to double check at my local stores.

[Sugart]

To be honest, I havent checked. The majority of our sale signs come from corporate, so unless it was a compnay wide issue, they should be. It could have been a company wide issue, its happened before.

[iFett]

Just checked....$24.49 with appropriate sinage.  Wow - a whole 50 cents off the standard price.    

Universe dlx's are finally getting cleared out in my neck of the woods and still no Ratchet.  Guess I'll have to see what TRU has cooking.  I'm not paying $13 for a dlx size figure so WM can suck it.

Hey Ben, they have a few Ratchet at Target on Clearance for $8.68.

I better get my ass to Target, then.  Thanks for the heads-up.

Scored Ratchet at TRU tonight with their 20% off sale - and they had many left including the lame Armada HS thing.  Nice to put this line behind me.  Hurry up Ben!  $8.53 after taxes.  My Targets have stopped stocking dlx figs and they're all on clearance for that $8.68 or whatever price before taxes.

I actually picked up the last Ratchet at my local Target yesterday. I was pleased he was still there. I also picked up a Soundwave Mugg, since I'm nuts for all things Soundwave and it was on sale.

I pick up that stupid Soundwave MM every time I go to Target and it takes just about all of my will power to walk away from it.  If I had any space at all for Muggs/Transformers, I don't think I could resist.

I have the same problem Justin - but I'm not going down that road.  Once I buy one, then I'm doomed to collect everything TF, Joe, SW Mugg related.  NAH ...ain't goin there. 

[Ben]

I've managed to limit myself to four Muggs- Stormtrooper, Indy, Mola Ram, and now Soundwave.

Though I have to admit, Snake Eyes, Storm Shadow, and Optimus are very tempting purchases.

SDCC Exclusive Optimus Prime Mighty Mugg

That thing is awesome.  I am NOT getting it.

TF2 ROTF toys will be set at Target the last week of May. Its getting a pretty big treatment as it was in my newsletter, which is very rare for a toy. We should start seeing them arrive in our store within the next 2 weeks. Obviously we cant sell them, but I always open the cases and look at them first.

Has there been a release/checklist put out that covers what is on the way for the Tformers movie toys at the end of May?  I didn't get huge into these with the last film, although I did get the Target Prime and both Bumblebees, but I wouldn't mind picking up a Sideswipe if/when he gets made.  I remember seeing leaked pics of his toy at some point, so I figure it is on the way sometime.  At the time, I couldn't really afford to pick up Ironhide, Ratchet, and the others - although I was tempted at times - but I really enjoy the old and new Bumblebee figures from that line.

[Brian]

I don't know if this is "news" or not, but I was at Target today and noticed they had the Revenge of the Fallen Robot Heroes out on the pegs.  Nothing else new that I noticed (mostly animated stuff otherwise), but I saw a whole mess of the Heroes.  Just a heads up if anyone here collects those.  It may be common knowledge and they are out everywhere, I don't really keep that close of track of Transformers releases.
