I know it's been a while since they been out but what are the chances of stores carrying Power Core Combiners? Specifically the Grimstone and Dinobots 5pk? I really want to get my hands on one but can't find it anywhere online for a reasonable price. I also heard they were on sale during Black Friday but I guess I was too busy on the video games, haha.

Nope it is the "play saver" hasbro insert. Read through it and I don't see anything specific about target or target logos.


Here you go! Only click the link if you are ready to print the coupon!!!!

All TRU locations got these coupon packets as well. I think 100 to each store. Look for them at the service desk if you happen to be in one.

Grimstone was hard to find even when he came out; at this point, good luck.

If you're lucky, you can find one at discount stores like Ross or Marshalls, because that's where most of them ended up. You're not going to find any PCCs in any large retail store at this point anymore.

So how are the Transformer Prime toys? My son and I watch that show together and he would love the toys...

For the most part, they are pretty cool. Finding some of them can prove to be difficult. The last few pages have posts by some of us bitching about how Hasbro distributes the figures in their case shipments. Basically if your son loves Bumblebee, you are in luck. The Cyberverse ones are easier to find (in my experience anyway) and they are pretty good considering their small size. My son loves his Bulkhead, Bumblebee, Vehicon and Starscream ones and I think they look great.

I've seen the Power Core Combiners at the local PriceBuster stores here multiple times. All of them except the Dinobots one. That's the only one my kids wanted too so I had to buy it on Ebay. Paid $25.

Hi,

I've got a brand new sealed Autobot Jazz Mighty Muggs if anyone would be interested in it. I'd be looking for paypal. Send me a PM if interested. Thanks!

Hi all, I am preparing to move, and looking to cut most of the post G1 stuff (and a little G1 stuff) out of my collection. Any interest? I've got a pretty broad range of stuff. Currently in front of me are C-310 God Ginrai reissue, C-307X Nucleon Quest Super Ginrai, loose complete Monstructor, Robots in Disguise Optimus Prime and Ultra Magnus, Beast Machines Tankor, and Tidal Wave (Shockwave) from Armada/Micron Densetsu the Japanese version, so he's actually purple as in the show. If anyone has any interest in stuff like this and beyond (it's a pretty expansive collection, that's just what I'm in the room with), I will start getting some pictures or links to pictures up. Obviously, some stuff is worth a good amount (Monstructor), others less so. I'm not looking to blow everything out, but I will beat ebay prices, since I won't have to pay them fees to sell on here. Any special requests? I don't have any movie toys, and I believe Animated is the newest I have, and I only have Starscream and Skywarp from them (both MISB, though it looks like a ball jointed foot of Skywarps has come out and is floating around the box).

PS-I am based in Brooklyn/NYC, and would generally be happy to do local meetups.

I got voyager prime Megs and optimus prime yesterday at Walmart, they were on sale for $15 and I had a $4 coupon. Let me tell you the cashier made a big project out of this transaction. The toy rang up $20 I tell her it is 15 in ad front end girl says to her to price match I said it is not a price match it is in your own ad. Looked at me like I was criminal, I give coupon she said it will not scan and it is for the wrong toy, I said it is not, it is for any transformer purchase over $10/ she says I had to pick out a different toy this was not the right one as it did not match the picture, she also said the box did not say TOTAL transformer on it. I told her that the coupon was stating it has to be total transformer purchase over $10 and that total is not the name of toy. Manager finally came and did it for me after girl was making it look like I was trying to cheat them/ manager was nice I showed her ad at front of store and even showed how it says to use the playsaver coupons right in the ad. So I got them both for $11. I returned the megs that I had gotten at Target and got $21 back in my pocket. I wasted a lot of time but stayed calm. The security guard became interested in coupon and was laughing bec. he saw it was th ecorrect coupon. He seemed happy to know about sale and coupon and said he was going to look at the transformers after work.

ha, what an idiot that cashier was. But it's Walmart, they aren't picking from the best of the best there.

My wife was awesome enough to preorder A Prime Prime for me since she saw something in a flyer about him coming with a bonus Micron Arms robot with preorders.
He just came today. Very nice!

in case anyone cares, I found a lone RID Ratchet at TRU, and HE. IS. AWESOME! Serously, other other than seriously lacking in some paint apps (needs red on the arms, they're just all white) I wouldn't be surprised to learn he was supposed to be a First Edition at one point, that's how impressed I am with him.

Very clever and unique engineering. Partly reminds me of Classics ratchet in concept (especially the arms folding/panel integration), but has a much better execution. I also LOVE how he comes with knife weapons he can hold, but they designed him in such a way that you can rotate his hands 90 degrees and the knives are notched perfectly so they they look like they replaced his hands (like in the show, or how in G1 Prime/Megs hands swapped out for the energon axe/flail).

Only complaint? The knives are possibly the softest rubber I've ever seen on a TF. I completely understand (safety reasons) but it's still strange. BUT unlike many Prime figs, they store hidden in vehicle mode. (Like Wheeljack, this feature is not mentioned in the instructions for some reason, but there are tabs on the underside of the door panels and slots on the knives for them to peg into)

IDK who designed him, but I want more from that engineer and less from whoever designed RID Bee.

you got a cool wife!

BBTS having a sale on most 3rd party stuff. If you were eyeing out TFC Hercules, they are selling 2 out of the set right now for $75 each. That's 25% off.

Spotted a bunch of Prime Soundwave, Wheeljack, and Cliffjumper figures at the TRU in Manchester, CT. There were 2-3 of each one too. $15/each though? Screw that.

My Kmart had them at $16.49 today. Bah!

TRU will have a BOGO 50% on all deluxe figures Friday and Saturday.

A whole ton of third party figures are 25% off -- Joel (who runs BBTS) is clearing out overstock. Many assume it was because Hasbro was bringing the hammer down on BBTS but that isn't the case.

I bought...far, far too much. There are some amazing deals there, like Battle Tanker for $75, the FP Insecticons for $38 a piece and the aforementioned Hercules limbs at $75.

Sadly, Scouting Force X and Flameblast sold out by the time I got to the sale! A lot of other stuff is starting to sell out rapidly as well, Battle Tanker isn't going to last more than two or so days at this rate, and a lot of Perfect Effect stuff has sold out.

This sale came at the wrong time for me, as I started focusing on filling major holes in my collection I finally broke down and bought Classics Magnus and Nemesis Prime off eBay and got them today (this is my first time with the mold, they are amazing figures, will be much better in the armor though!) and just scored a great deal on ROTF Bruticus. Currently my FP Bruticus is made up of a bunch of weird colored limbs like TFCC Heatwave and Gunbarrel... I don't even display him combined because he looks so weird.

In other news, Prime Commander Class Ironhide and Dreadwing are available at BBTS which means retail stores should start stocking them in a few weeks. I gotta imagine Deluxe Wave 3 won't be far behind, so the hunt for people who don't shop online will be starting once again. I wish you all good luck!

ETA: Actually, rumor has it that Hasbro is in the process of bringing down the hammer on third party products, and that Botcon was just the beginning. They already slammed one small seller with a cease and desist... it'll be interesting (and sad) to see where this goes. It gives the rumor that BBTS is blowing stuff out in preparation of this much more likely, because once they get the C&D they have to stop selling.

Hasbro needs to see the quality these 3rd parties are bringing and step up their game

Nice grab on the Classics Magnus. I was eyeing out the set with him and Skywarp forever and just couldn't drop that much cash for it. It was my birthday recently so I treated myself to the 3 FP Insecticons. Will probably regret not jumping on the Hercules parts while the going was good.

I might just do what you did spinner and buy these Prime figures all online. I have yet to see a Ratchet so the likelihood of me finding these other guys are probably just as bad.
