Transformers ROTF Toys Released At US Retail

Kremzeek — Tue, 05 May 2009 00:41:09 +0000

While most Transformers Revenge of the Fallen toys have a street date of May 30th, this hasn’t stopped some stores from putting them out early. There have been a number of reports of people finding everything from Legends and Bumper Battlers to Voyager and Leader class toys at Fred Meyer stores along the northwest coast of the US.

Otispq of the TFW2005 boards also found the first wave of ROTF deluxes at a Wal-mart in American Forks, Utah. Unlike other folks who found these toys, the computer did not prevent him from buying them.

Target and Wal-mart Raise The Price Of Transformer Toys

With the holidays behind them, Target has raised the price on a number of Transformer toys. While out doing my rounds, I noticed that the price of Animated deluxes and Bumper Battlers had been increased to $10.99. The price of Voyager, Ultra and Leader class toys had also been raised to $21.99, $27.99 and $44.99, respectively. The price of Universe deluxes remain at $7.79, but its probably only a matter of time before they too go up in price.

And then there is Wal-mart… While they typically have the best price on toys, the retailer has decided to stick it to Transformer fans by charging a whopping $12.88 for Animated and Universe deluxes. So much for Walmart being the “low price leader.”

Update: Target has now raised the price of its deluxe class figures to $11.99. While not advertised widely, Universe deluxes are on sale for $7.79 until February 9th.

Target has begun to red tag its Indiana Jones toys. The basic 3 3/4″ figures have been marked down to $3.80 and the 12″ figures are now $10.48. Unfortunately, the deluxe figures and vehicles have not gotten the red tag treatment yet.

Target stores have also been clearing out their back rooms so if you’ve had a hard time finding the later waves of Indy figures, now is the time to go and look. There have been a number of reports of people picking up the Last Crusade wave for $3.80 a piece.

On my hunt for Clone Wars toys, I hit a couple of Shopko stores in my area. While a number of collectors have found new Star Wars toys at various Shopko stores, the ones I stopped at appeared to be sticking to the street date. Thanfully, it wasn’t a wasted trip. In an effort to make room for Transformers Animated and Universe toys, Shopko is blowing out its stock of Transformers movie toys. Selection varied by store, but I was able to score a few good deals. Here’s some picture proof and a list of clearance prices.

Transformers Movie Deluxes – $2.99
Transformers Movie Voyagers – $7.49
Transformers Movie Legends – $2.49
Transformers Movie Screen Battles – $7.49
Transformers Movie Fast Action Battlers – $2.99
Transformers Movie Cyber Slammers – $2.99
Transformers Movie Allspark Blasters – $7.49
