    Oh good, Brut79 beat me to it. And I was thinking the exact same thing. I remember When I bought my Primus on clearance for $30 down from it's MSRP of $60. The doubling of the price tag for a repaint with no extras is asinine.

    Toys R Us at Miami International Mall has 2 TLK Cybertron Primuses at $145 ea.

    Also, Target has all Spider-Man related stuff 20% off – including the 6" Legends figures. I grabbed Moon Knight for $16 & change.

    TLK voyager class Hound and Megatron at the Altamonte Target.

    Although I nabbed the last ones there should be more on the way, hopefully.

    Btw, what is this I keep hearing about "exploding knees" and how there is a serious design/engineering flaw with Trypticon?

    Yeah, for a few years there, Primus was inexpensive on the secondary market.

    No clearance at Walmart back in 06, or 07? Even the ones with the minicons were down to $15. And they were plenty. This was on the eve of the first movie and tfs were, well... less popular.

    Just scored Blitzwing at the South Dadeland Target. 1 left. 3 Topspins, 1 Perceptor, 1 Krok, and 1 Quake.

    Cutler Bay Target has nothing new.

    Springs are too strong and deform the ratchet. Solution is to open them to cut 1/4" off the springs to reduce force.

    South Floridians, today is the Super Toy Show at the Universal Palms Hotel in Ft. Lauderdale (Ultracon of South Florida | The Super Toy Show 2017). I can't guarantee that there'll be good Transformers sales, but more often than not there are some good deals to be had, plus it's only $10 for both days. And Larry Hama is going to be there as a guest.

    I bought Mission to Cybertron Primus at the TRU off Sample & 441. There was one left, so if you want it, go get it.

    TR Blitzwing STILL at the Orange City Target.

    Nothing special anywhere else.

    However, I saw something funny at the Deland Walmart. Some lady went to ask a worker there if he could help her find certain a brand air filter for her car and without missing a beat, he goes, "I dunno, go ask someone else" and keeps on walking, away from the shopper, and completely ignores her.

    Hahahahahaha. Typical Walmart.
