Titans Return Sixshot at HTS and Takara LG-EX Head Master Set, LG Leo Prime, MP Cheetor and Grapple Now Available Online

Those titan masters look sweet. I'm pretty sure that you can get some of them already though. I recognize Furos, Brainstorm and Chromedome. (Not the proper names on the last 2 I forgot.)

You can get them all already, these are the ones that come with the hasbro version of the toys. But now Takara is releasing them for people in japan to get those heads too.

Hey guys, with Kickback out now I know many fans who werent into TF collecting 3 years ago are looking for affordable skrapnels.

Well, this is the best price for him if you dont mind getting him out of the box: https://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?siteid=0&pub=5574891718&campid=5336631220&customid=&toolid=10001&mkevt=1&mpre=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fitm%2F322324834179%3F_t%20...%20rmvSB%3Dtrue%3C%2Fa%3E%26

But they're doing that THING where they show them, but won't let you BUY them yet! Keeps saying they're 'out of stock'. But usually that means they are about to make them really available, so keep your eyes peeled. You may soon be able to order those figures which Hasbro STILL hasn't put in stores yet....

And now I see the Wave 3 Titan Return Deluxes are finally in stock at HTS. It certainly took a long time from when they were first listed.

There is a coupon currently SPRING17 for 15% off until March 15.

Correct - Hasbro Toy Shop has finally got some of the newer deluxes in stock. Hot Rod, Triggerhappy, and Twinferno!

Use the code SPRING17 for a discount!

Fellow Seibertronians Longhaullazer and Deathreviews have some good news for fans that have yet to find Titans Return Wave 3 Deluxes Hot Rod, Triggerhappy, and Twinferno. They are now on Hasbro Toy Shop:

Hot Rod
Triggerhappy
Breakaway
Twinferno

The site also has a new discount code for a 15% discount on most items so be sure to enter SPRING17 at checkout.

But they still cannot get Gnaw in stock.

Count yourself lucky they have these

even with the discount, the price comes to $19.00 each. that's not a deal. been a collector since 2007, and there was a time when i would jump at this but experience has taught me that i should wait. still, thanks for the heads up.

I just paid $14 and change apiece for them. How are you getting charged $19?

It's still a better deal for those who are sick of waiting for them to turn up in stores, and who don't want to pay 3rd party website mark-ups. Triggerhappy and Hotrod are still like $26 apiece on Amazon, and good luck finding free shipping or any discount codes for them. HTS will usually give free shipping on orders over $50. It's their hook for getting you to buy more stuff, but hey, if you were planning to get all four figures anyway....

It drops the price for each deluxe to 14.45 apiece after the promo code. The tax is negligible, and the shipping free if you get all four and clear the $50 hurdle. That makes the price very comparable to Walmart retail store prices, and with free delivery to your door to boot. Not too shabby....

But its free shipping over 49$, you are only paying 14.45$ per figure when you buy all 4.

BBTS has a set of 4 for $80

http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/prod ... ode=retail

BEFORE shipping.

But here you get it for $57.80 shipping included.

Thats something like $25 in savings

Cool! Used the code for Star Wars stuff though.

Why do they only have these sales when they don't have all the items to make this worth it? No Gnaw or Wolfwire...

If you get all 4 what about people who dont want all 4 or cant afford to get all 4 in one shot? And tax isnt negligible, some people have to pay almost 10% sales tax and that adds up especially on big orders. Hasbro would sell a lot more if they had free shipping (or a better deal to get free shipping)and had competitive pricing. Every store has deluxes for $15 where hasbro has them for $17, shouldnt you save by buying directly from the source or at least pay normal price? Greed pure and simple. If they had free shipping id be placing an order right now, but since they dont its not worth it. Not paying $19 for a deluxe, dont care how badly i want hot rod & trigger happy im not doing it.

The taxes were about 3.50 for all four deluxes, shipping was free. That still puts each deluxe around $15 each. Walmart prices for deluxes are currently about $15.50 before local sales tax. About $16.10ish after tax (depending on where you live). Granted if you only buy one or two? You'll be out a shipping cost as well, and it won't be as sweet a deal. But if you want to get other stuff anyway, why not clear that $50 hurdle and get free shipping?

But if you want to roll the dice and wait for them to turn up in stores, go for it. It all comes down to whether people are willing to shell out a few extra bucks to get their figures sooner. Most people are still waiting for Wolfwire and Mindwipe to turn up on shelves. Distribution and in-store availability for Wave2 and Wave3 has been spotty to say the least. If you search locally? You can wind up driving around for days from store to store, looking for them and not finding them.

The money saved in fuel/transportion costs and time spent searching? It can easily be worth the 2-3 extra dollars you might spend through HTS. But in this case, if you order enough to get free shipping, it easily zeroes out to the same price as retail, or less. More than worth it for the convenience and a guarantee that you will actually get the figures.

Cry me a **** river, those are some of the lowest tax rates in the first world. Sale tax where I am is 15%. And I pay it cause its not like any of us have a choice unless we want to uproot our entire lives to live somewhere where taxes are less. Bringing taxes, an unavoidable and regional factor into the discussion is useless. If you're worried about that constant tax figure, then why bother buying the toy. Might as well charge all the other constants in your life, like the gas or buss pass to get it at the store, or the time it took you to go to the store instead of buying it from the comfort of your home. People could have been doing something else with that time, something that could generate more income instead of visiting the store every week to see the same empty shelves. Its called opportunity cost. And thats a constant too, just like taxes. And plus your still paying those taxes when you buy it at retail, so what's the point of bringing it up?!

And saying they are greedy for wanting you to buy more is ridiculous. Nothing is free in life, shipping always costs money (you think the mailman works for free?). But if you buy enough (at the same good deal), then they cover the shipping and you see that at other places like TRU, Walmart ect. And its a way smaller treshold than TFSource's $150 for free shipping and BBTs has no free shipping. HTS is thus far more generous than either store.

The only sure things in life are taxes, and ME!

Went to buy it, but decided to wait to see if walmart has the figures. There isn't enough in stock that I want to get free shipping, so hopefully a local store has got them in the past 3 weeks.

All the Wal-marts I've visited recently has had wave 3 deluxes and the legends wave with Gnaw. I'd say we should be seeing full saturation soon (at least at Wally World). Also the deluxes here are under $15. I saw the tax talk above, but I don't really count that because now I have to pay the same in store or online

I'd say wait it out.

Tax isn't an issue. It's gonna happen either way. I look at the baseline price.

I wish all of you lcuk in finding the toys you want

Also, just curious, where does the name Wally World come from? I see it used all the time.

Ding ding ding, give this man a cigar. Seems like a fitting name for Walmart

HTS doesn't have anything in stock I want, and even the affore mentioned wave 3 deluxes, only Hot Rod (I think) is left...

Purchased Sixshot at Target on 3/7- after tax was $44.37 USD

*IF* I could purchase on HTS, (used Soundwave as an example since its the same price and happens to be in stock) even with the 15% discount, after taxes and shipping it would be $48.18 (just under $49)...you cant tell me that isn't by design.. I guess I could just purchase another TM to get free shipping, lets see...


Oh crud! The sub-total has to be over $49, not the after-tax total to get free shipping. What a rip-off!

I guess its good for some who have never seen these at B&M, but HTS seems to run out of stock so fast, selection is limited, and *free shipping* is dubious at best.

How is it dubious? its stated very clearly how much you need to get free shipping and its the same rules as Walmart and TRU, I dont get how this is a big deal. You never include taxes in terms of treshold.

PROMOTION: Site Wide Free Shipping on orders over $49



Free standard shipping on most orders over $49, on most products currently for sale on HasbroToyShop.com. Discount applies to pre-tax and pre-shipping amount. Offer excludes purchases of HasbroToyShop.com exclusives. Other exclusions may apply. No rain checks. Not valid on previous orders. Offer valid in continental U.S. only. Subject to terms and conditions of use and HasbroToyShop.com policies.

I guess it comes form my current secular work, which involves QC for a mortgage company, including all marketing materials. Sure if you "click the details" its all there...it is Legal, but is it easily understood? - Every company is different. Is this truly "Free" shipping for orders over $49? - I guess the fact that they included the word *most* in there is fair...though I guess I've just been trained to make corrections to anything open to subjective interpretation. Words like "most" "should" "probably" etc... are big red flags in my line of work


on a slightly humorous note I typed in "Fortress Maximus" just out of curiousity as I like to see the price range despite getting it a while back. I guess HTS finally ran out of stock as this is what came up:

http://www.hasbrotoyshop.com/en/htsusa/-b53070000

Having w3 turning up in some parts of the country/world is, as most may know, no guarantee that they'll be showing up everywhere. Each mortal should gauge from previous store behavior and make their own determinations. If they're showing up in your stores, you're some of the lucky ones, and ordering off HTS may not be the best bet.

Most are NOT so lucky. Many places, particularly in the continental US, wind up on some kind of weird schedule where figures that are common on shelves in some parts of the country will not show up in their own states for weeks, or even months. Soundwave and other leader figures have been out and shelf warming in some places since late last year. But other states still have not seen them on shelves to this day.

Those who have been on the sharp end of the sickle for in-store distribution will want to take a serious look at the HTS deals, especially since the promo code is set to expire in a few days. It could be some time before these figures wind up in your stores. HFTD Windcharger, Thrilling 30s Windblade, Solar Storm Grapple... Some figures never show up on the shelf at all. But each place is different, so be sure to check your stores and their stocks. If they're still dawdling, HTS may be a viable option.....

I hear you Death and you know I appreciate the puns, but I fear it might be too late. Getaway is already sold out so no more set of 4 for $57

Congrats to those who jumped on it though!

First off language, just because i hit a nerve doesnt warrant that kind of language. Plus the admins will be on it and youll have to change it anyway. But back on topic if your unhappy with your taxes write your heads of state, protest do something about it. Uprooting isnt the only option, even the laziest of people can help make change. If your not part of the solution your part of the problem. 2nd, online orders are not always cheaper than going to the store. When gas was $6 a gallon yeah but now that its under $3 its not. Its cheaper for most to go to walmart than order from HTS especially since they can get other things there too. I go to walmart i get catfood & other supplies, cant do that with HTS now can i. Unlike many (& im sure your included) i dont let collecting control my life, ive fit it in with my weekly routines thus not wasting tome nor money. 3rd, it is greed. How is it that a small company like neca can sell licensed high quality products for such low prices but hasbro sells low grade toys for a premium? Why is it that other companies offer free shipping or low shipping on orders but HTS doesnt? TRU had free shipping on orders of $19 or more for a long time, it just changed to $30 but still better than HTS. Walmart has free 2 day shipping on $35, better than HTS. Ive shipped figures before i know it doesnt cost $8 to ship a deluxe figure even in a box. I know things in life arent free, i also know they dont cost that much either.

And let us know in the haul thread when you find them!

Nemesis Maximo wrote:I just paid $14 and change apiece for them. How are you getting charged $19?

Where did you get them for $14 and change a piece for them? They're at least $14.99 or higher at Target and Walmart, who sells them for the cheapest usually. Most states charge sales tax on top of that. Here in Illinois around Chicago it's about 10%, so about $16.50.

Seems like a few of you need to cool it down a bit. Also no need for swearing or getting all defensive. Everyone has their own financial situation and trying to apply your own situation to people from around the world isn't really fair.

10% sales tax here in Chicago is a lot, especially when we are taxed in other ways, William. We don't have "free" health care, which is really a misnomer because there is no such thing as "free" shipping or "free" health care. It comes out of your pocket one way or another. The high import fees that you have to pay for and the higher sales tax you pay is offset by your free health insurance whereas I don't have import fees, I have 10% sales tax, I have crazy Chicago property taxes around $6,000 a year for a small house, and we most definitely don't have "free" health insurance.

Using the discount code "SPRING17" at HTS brings each deluxe down to $14.44.

We also have 10% sales tax and 10.5% in some cities (state, parish and city tax), wah wah.

Oh crud! The sub-total has to be over $49, not the after-tax total to get free shipping. What a rip-off!

ALL stores that do things like that never include sales tax in the subtotal. They want you to spend $50 and then they'll toss in free shipping. That's not a rip-off. That's standard retail business. Even Walmart.com has the same type of deal ... you have to spend $35 or more (before sales tax) to be eligible for free shipping. It's a standard retail technique to get people to spend more money than they would have if they had just offered free shipping on everything. It's a technique I also use on Seibertron.com's eBay store from time-to-time.

MSRP is $16.99 on the deluxes. Don't let Walmart and Target fool you into thinking you really got a good deal. You might have saved on that item, but you gave them plenty of money from other general merchandise items or grocery items you've bought from those stores at other times. Every buy soda from Walmart? Walmart sells soda at some of the highest retail prices compared to your local grocery store or Target. So you might have gained a buck on the Transformer toy you bought from them, but lost a buck on a 12 pack of soda. It's just the games of retail stores.

Don't hold it over Hasbro's head that they sold a product at MSRP and offered free shipping if you spent $49 or more and have a sale going on right now to boot. Seems like a pretty good deal.

Auto-censor doesn't actually censor posts when someone is looking at them via the news article "comment sections", only when you're actually viewing them on the boards, just for future reference. You can see that when you scroll down on the article page. So it wasn't censored to the majority of people who saw it. Not trying to pick a fight, just sharing info.

Definitely something for me to address with the site redesign I'm working on currently.

Don't hold it over Hasbro's head that they sold a product at MSRP and offered free shipping if you spent $49 or more and have a sale going on right now to boot. Seems like a pretty good deal.

I am not collecting the deluxes for TR, but last time I took notice of price they were all $10. Also I rarely purchase soda, but if I do, its only when its on sale (usually $1.00 for a 2 liter +CRV). My wife does all the grocery shopping, and while she is not one of those "extreme coupon" people (she did that for a year and got burned out), she does make the most of our budget.

I'm not saying HTS is horrible for everyone, I can imagine there are many places that don't get these toys in stock for various reasons, its just that naturally I'm going to go with my best option whatever that is. Also Btw...Target's normal price for leaders currently is $40.99, again that's normal, not sale price.

It's odd how these prices fluctuate so much. As much as I like CW, I do recognize there was much less diversity, and yet the price points for each class kept going up, whereas with TR, which seems to be *generally* more liked by the fandom, has more Variety, and yet prices on some items seems to be going down. I guess its good for those who are really into this line, and find them plentiful. I thought wave 3 deluxes were gone as quickly as they came, but last week several Walmarts in my area got them back in stock again. I contemplated getting a couple Breakaways to sell on eBay, but then decided against it.

we have all been through this before. remember when henkei thrust, dirge and thundercracker were going for $100 plus. then the glorious, transformers generations line arrived, thundercracker, dirge and thrust for $15.00. plus an entire line of new moulds like tracks, kupp, scourge and warpath, if you could find them. so we got scared and preordered our voyager class springer and blitzwing only to find them on store shelves before the online retailers.

Well at least for me it worked out. Found all 3 deluxes freshly stocked at TRU and got them all for $36 (one was a gift) so yeah! Worked out.

bottom line for me (not you), triggerhappy, wolfwire and mindwipe are great figures but they are not limited edition, club exclusive or third party. they are standard distribution, carded hasbro products. if hasbro cannot get them on the pegs at my local stores then too bad for me and too bad them. after combiner wars $22 is too much for figures manufactured for the purpose of re-purposing and re-molding and re-painting. if i don not find these toys on shelves soon, i will find them in plastic sandwich bags at the bottom of a plastic bin at the next con i attend.

I forgot to mention this but $17 is the MSRP as can be seen on the official site: http://transformers.hasbro.com/en-us/pr ... 4D93BF9BE2
Other retailers can do as they wish of course since its only sugested but it's not like hasbro is selling it for more than the price they suggest makes sense. Sure, I understand wanting a discount from the supplier, but then why not walk into an apple store and ask for that there too?

Nooooooooooooo, I bought a 3 12 packs of dr pepper from them.
While I couldnt tell looking at the price of the pack (I had not shopped around), I did notice that their individual 500 ml bottles (plastic narrow individual bottles, I dont know the oz conversion) were quite expensive. I mean the dollar store sells them for a dollar while Walmart sells them in those fridges near the cash for almost $2. I was wondering how the dollar store could get them so cheap but now I know that its just Walmart making a big margin.
Thanks for the details!

Ah, and now I feel dumb I remember Burn telling us the system was in place so we wouldnt have to worry about it, didnt know about that and I hope I didnt offend people. I will just put actual stars next time, or maybe not swear at all Thanks for letting me know Bronzewolf!
