Target sale 8-14 October.

[griffin]

They are calling it the 'Octoyber sale'

TFs items in it:

Movie Devastator - $129 (save $41)
Movie FAB - $24 (save $5)
RPM Battle Chargers - $19 (save $4)
RPM Devastator Trackset - $80 (save $20)
Universe Ultras - $25 (I think that is their current regular price anyway).
Star Wars TFs - $28 (save $7)

And for the Lego fans - 20% off Lego.

Looks like I'll be getting the RPMs trackset next week then... and hopefully some of the new SWTFs, since they pictured the new red packed ones.

Devastator isn't as cheap as the Kmart one, but still not a bad price for those that missed out a couple weeks ago.

Hmm... With such an ingenious marketing name () I kinda had higher hopes for the Transformers, like Scouts and Deluxes on sale at least. At least I can keep it in my pants for this one (my wallet, that is =oP) $25 for their Universe Ultras is their standard price atm (as griffin said), and 2 weeks ago they were $22.49 (10% off), so nothing super duper there. Still a decent price for Devs, but I just can't convince myself to like him enough for that kind of cash, even though I'm sure he's worth it from a value perspective. From an aesthetic aspect though, he's just not turning me on enough.

On that note though, what is up with Targets Universe Ultra pricing? A few months back they were regular price $49.99 (while K-Mart was $69.99), then they went to $34.99 (which I thought was a bargain, so I got Powerglide & Onslaught), and now they are $24.99 while K-mart has 20 Onslaughts collecting dust at $59.99 save $10... Don't get me wrong, I am SO not complaining (got me Stormcloud & Silverbolt last week for $15 less than one Ultra at K-Mart =o), but it just seems strange that there can be such a difference in price. Is it just a "these are getting a little old now, let's get rid of them asap" thing? That was my initial assumption, but Stormcloud is a newie isn't he?

What's that you were saying about keeping it in your pants?

Get them to price match Target if you need Onslaught & can't find him at Target

Is it just a "these are getting a little old now, let's get rid of them asap" thing?

The purchaser for Target probably stuffed up and ordered too much stock, either that or they worked out some bulk purchase deal with Hasbro for their remaining stock.

Btw, Stormcloud's been around for a year with sightings dating back to September 08 I believe

[snaketales]

So far I have seen only Silverbolt and Stormcloud in Target stores...

Pity, because I'm hoping to get Onslaught and Powerglide.

Vector Prime is right re Stormcloud's apparance; I picked one up from a Toyworld late last year (for $40 which I thought was a reasonable price)

A few months back they were regular price $49.99 (while K-Mart was $69.99), then they went to $34.99 (which I thought was a bargain, so I got Powerglide & Onslaught)

To be more accurate though, Onslaught was actually a price match at K-Mart, and what an effing nightmare! I went to Target, no Onslaught (but heaps of Powerglides & Silverbolts), and I knew they had some at K-Mart, so I asked the guy stocking the Transformers at Target to give me a printout of their Universe Ultra price tag. I took this tag straight to K-Mart, showed them, they still insisted on calling Target, and ofcourse the person they got didn't know a Transformer from a toothbrush, so they just said the usual "hmm, I can't seem to find them, so we must be sold out", which translates to "I haven't got the slightest clue what you're talking about, just pay me my money so I can go partying tomorrow night". Even describing Powerglide & Silverbolt and the size of the box etc didn't get through to the Target person... Anyhoo, the manager happened to be around, so I thought that was my chance of reason, but no, he was as arrogant as the rest, refusing the price match based on the fact that I told him Target had the same product line, but not that exact product . In the end though, I got Onslaught for the $34.99 courtesy of my 4 year old son throwing the tantrum of all tantrums, my wife looking like she could kill someone for the messing around, and K-Mart just giving in and doing the price match. I guess I can see their perspective though, cause it goes without saying that everyone has a Target price tag printer in their pocket these days, ya just can't be too careful So my attempt to make the price match as convenient for K-mart as possible turned into Stress-Fest 5000... Good times...

Orly...? You can tell I'm new to this... =oP As that is the case then, I'm so glad and lucky they got some back in stock at a cheaper price =oD

So far I have seen only Silverbolt and Stormcloud in Target stores...

I can't recall which state, but I remember reading in the sightings and aquisitions threads that someone got a Powerglide when Target had them for $22.49 last week, so hopefully they'll still be around for you or someone can get one and post it to you or something.

I was a bit late when I started to search for a optimus prime voyager.
I only found Ironhides and everything else was gone.
Been waiting for target to restock voyagers for ages but that never happened.
Anyone know what the heck happened to the voyagers?

[Burn]

My local Target Country only had the Energon Jetfire/Wing Sabre repaints.

And they had a stack load of them. So many in fact they took ANOTHER $5 off. Yes, $19.99 ...

[MV75]

The only re-shelving my local target did with transformers is powerglide. That's the only universe ultra they have, and at least 30 of the things too. I guess we know what one sold the worst....... no surprise there though.

Which repaints are you referring to?
