With the new Transformers movie only a few months away, retailers have begun to clear out their stock of Animated toys. This week, Target lowered the price of its deluxe class figures down to $8.99. While not as good as the pre-holiday prices, this is a lot better than the $12.99 that Wal-mart is charging. The sale runs until 4/6, but knowing Target, it could end at any time.

Didn’t get what you wanted for Christmas this year? If so, then head on over to HasbroToyShop.com and check out their After Christmas Sale. They have more than 260 items on sale, including a number of Star Wars, Transformers and G.I. Joe toys.

If you missed out on HasbroToyShop’s recent Transformers sale, you’re in luck. Amazon has dropped the price of select Animated and Universe toys by 55% or more. If you order $25 worth of toys, they’re also shipped free. Here are some of the toys on sale:

Update: The deal is pretty much dead. You can still get Roll Out Command Optimus Prime for $24.99, but Amazon put most of the toys back to normal price. On a more positive note, I found two other deals that you might be interested in:

Transformers Animated Leader Bulkhead - $15.99
Transformers Universe Optimus Prime 25th Anniversary Pack - $45.99

While there were lots of deals on HDTV’s and Blu-ray players, Black Friday was a bust for most toy collectors this year. The shelves were fully stocked at most of the stores I stopped at but, as far as prices go, there wasn’t much to get excited about.

Thankfully, there are a few deals to be had online. One of the best deals I’ve seen is at Amazon.com where select Transformers Animated and Universe toys are 40% off. To top it off, if you order $25 worth of toys, they’re shipped free. Here are some of the toys on sale:

Transformers Animated Supreme – Roll Out Command Optimus Prime - $29.99
Transformers Animated Voyager Megatron Cybertronian – $14.99
Transformers Animated Voyager Starscream – $14.99
Transformers Universe Ultra Onslaught – $14.99 (Yes, only 14.99)

If you didn’t get a chance to pick up the BMF Millenium Falcon at Kohl’s, you’re in luck. Amazon.com currently has it on sale for $119.88. While this is a few bucks more than Kohl’s, there is no sales tax and its shipped FREE. What are you waiting for? Head on over to Amazon and pick up a BMF or two for yourself or the Star Wars fan in your life.

If you shop at Target as much as I do, you probably noticed that the price of Hasbro action figures has gone up and down a lot over the last few months. Within the last month alone, the price of Transformers Deluxes has changed at least 3 or 4 times.

Apparently, the folks at Target have finally realized that no one was going to pay $10 or $11 for a Deluxe class figure when they could go to Wal-mart and get one for less than $8. The retailer has now lowered the price of its Animated, Movie and Universe deluxes down to $7.79. I’m not sure how long this sale will last, but if I had to guess, it will run through the holiday season.

If you’re looking for some cheap G.I. Joe figures, run, don’t walk, to your local Target store. The retailer has single packed 25th Anniversary and Modern Era figures marked down to a mere $4.99. The sale runs until November 24th, but if my local Target is any example, stores are going to be cleaned out in no time.

I usually don’t shop at ALDI, but come the holiday season, they usually have some good deals on toys. This week, ALDI has a number of Transformer toys on sale. According to their online catalog, Transformer Animated deluxes are $7.99 and Star Wars Transformers are a mere $9.99. Transformers Legends figures are also $3.99, which is a good dollar cheaper than anywhere else. Last but not least, they have the Transformers Animated Cyberspeed Bumblebee listed for $16.99.

Target is running a sale on Transformers toys this week. The retailer has marked down its Animated, Universe and Movie deluxes to $8. While not shown in the ad, Transformers Universe Ultras are also on sale for $22.49 and Voyagers for $17.99. 

Update: It looks like prices in stores are not the same as they are online.  I stopped at my local Target this morning and found that Ultras marked at $24.29 and Voyagers at $19.79.
