    That store is one of the shops in collectors marketplace and I don't think it's called that anymore. If you yelp tf vs gi joe, it says it's closed down.

    Has anyone seen any closing sales at TRU? I just seen babies r us off 101 has a 60% clearance sign

    Welcome back!

    If you're in Phoenix, I did see one at the Paradise Valley Toys R Us a couple of days ago. I can't say if it's still there, though

    Yep; it's one of the original stores set for closing, so they're already in the 50%off phase. However, their TF stock was pretty slim pickings at the time; Primus/Cybertron was really the only TF item of note I noticed.

    Alrighty, it was more than just a one off fluke. Ross at priest and Elliot has one TR Hot Rod for 7.99! I already have one, so I'm leaving him here for anyone interested.

    Maricopa Fry's just did a reset in the toy isle, and the Studio Series figures are out. Jacked prices, but every once in a while they go on sale, and the premiere deluxes drop to $19.99.

    Yeah, I grabbed bee and stinger there. Stinger ain't bad, but Bee is the single worst deluxe I have ever bought! Not bad looks wise, but every single piece falls off during transformation! Roof, hood, rear fender wells, window kibble things etc. And ankles and hips are way too loose to pose...total, total garbage!!!

    Yeah, I've heard he's the worst of the bunch. I think I'll just stick with the MP version of Movie Bee. Speaking of Studio Series, anyone see any of those Thundercrackers since they got put out then pulled back because "street date"? If I had known that was going to be a thing, I would have purchased him the one time I saw him instead of getting tailgate and putting off Thundercracker for another time.

    Not a one since the Bell and 3rd store pulled them off the shelf when I got mine. Hopefully they'll start appearing tomorrow when the liquidation sales start.

    So are the AZ TRUs having clearance sales? I also wonder if they would even have any TF merchandise worth buying at this point? If they get wave 3, that would be a miracle

    Depending on your area you may have missed the boat, I got all of wave 2 at Walmart like 5 weeks ago.

    FYI All of the TRU's have started the Liquidation Sale today. I managed to grab the last Thundercracker from the Goodyear TRU
