TFPrime Weaponizer - $20 (save $22)

Some great prices, especially for a store exclusive, which is odd, as it would have sold at full price based on the packaging (and stores have monopolies on their exclusive, so why sacrifice the profit margin so early in its release).
Unfortunately, I already imported mine before this discount was known. :(


I looked back to last year, and the Target sale was the same time as BigW & Kmart... and I was so sure it was a month later. Looking back the previous year (2011), Target was indeed a month later... so as of last year, they moved it to compete directly with the other two for some reason.

Platinum Ultra Magnus wasn't even on my want list... But for that price I think I will jump at it.

I'm trying not to buy toys at the moment, but I don't think I can resist $39 Ultra Magnus.

Rang the Target in Swan Hill last night. Here is the discussion between me and a 19yo sales assistant:


Me: Hi, I know your toy sale starts next Tuesday night. I wanted to find out if you will be getting in a Transformer I'm after. It's called "Platinum Edition: Ultra Magnus" It's a Target Exlusive.

Them: Oh um, I can't see it on the shelves. I don't think we have it.

Me: Yes I know you don't have it yet, I wanted to know if you are getting it in for your toy sale next week.

Them: What size is it?

Me: It's fairly big in a stylized box.

Them: No, I can't see it. The only big Transformers we have I can see are Optimus Primes.

Me: No, I know you don't have it yet. I want to know if you are getting it in for your toy sale.

Them: Whats it called again?

Me: "Platnium Edition Ultra Magnus". It's a Target Exclusive.

Them: An Ultra Magnet

Me: No (gritting teeth), Ultra Magnus

Them: No, well if it excludes Target we woudln't be getting it anyway.

Me: No, it's exclusive TO Target!

Them: Oh, then yes we should be getting it in.

Me: So you are getting it in?

Them: Where did you see it?

Me: Your online Toy Catalog

Them: Well, then we should be getting it in

Me: So are you getting it in?

Them: Well I don't know. No-one here would know

Me: (with a mixture of disbelief & exasperation) You don't know what toys you are getting in for your toy sale?!

Them: No, we just take what we are given

Me: Click



So I am going to trek down there today, catalog printed out in hand and hit them up in person. Our Target is that small that there is a good chance they wont get it in so hopefully if I can get someone to understand they can order it in for me.

lol... an Ultra Magnet. :p

Anyone know if Generations: FOC Soundwave is part of the sale? When dealing with the YOTS Magnus issue today I noticed that suddenly there are a half dozen on the shelf that wern't there yesterday or the last 6 months
