    I have yet to see the classics in stores yet here in PA. Although the sales due seem to be happening. I bought the BW Optimus primal and Megatron and got a third figure free. So I ended up getting Skywarp which is a repaint of Thunder Cracker from the "Cybertron series". Usually when sales like this go on that means that some new products are making thier way to retailers. I can't wait to get the new classics. I've waited years for them to make a new Hot Rod figure, I hope they come out with a decent Ultra Magnus figure too. One that actually has a trailer thats goes with the cab part of him. The RID figure was nice but it still didn't make up for the 80's original. I am sure most of you would agree.

    I picked up a Rodimus yesterday at Target for $9.99. That was the only one there. They had more in the back, but wouldn't open the case, because they had no room on the shelf. :throw

    Ah-HA! I wondered if there was an assortment like this. I thought it was odd that I had found only Smokey a few times now.

    I remember one time w were resetting domestics and there were sheet sets that retailed for like $25 ringing up for $3.98. Weird things like that happen all the time during transitions.

    I think one of the resident Target employees said Classics weren't included in the sale, but of course, I had to go and check for myself. Nope.. not in the sale.

    I went yesterday for Classics and the only figure they had that would have interested me in the sale was Smokescreen... didn't want to wait 12 hours to come back for it just to save a few bucks. Hopefully the GF Vector Prime they had will warm the shelf long enough to go back for it.

    I'll confirm that Classics are NOT included in the sale. I wasn't going to get any til next month (spent my 'allowance' on eBay), but I had a couple Target gift cards thanks to buying Pepsi a couple weeks ago. I let my 2 1/2 year old daughter choose, and I got Bumblebee.

    You take your receipt in anytime this week during the sale and get a price adjustment if you stop into target this week.

    Whoa, does that work at Target? If so, I have receipts for Primus and some Alts and would love to get some money back without having to buy and return stuff.

    Thanks for the heads up.

    I got a Cybertron Smokescreen for $7.88 :D 

    My kids got some of the scout guys real cheap too!

    Alts were on clearance too - but all they had was 4x Tracks, 2x Sunstreaker and one each of Rollbar and Ricochet.

    Clearance or sale? If on clearance, that probably means they won't be on the planogram for the holidays.

    only for purchase made within the last 14 days. Sorry, can't get the price difference on stuff bought like 2 months ago.

    Well most places have a 90 day return policy on stuff, so you can go buy the item at the sale price, then return the item using the full priced receipt you got from the first purchase.

    I got Alt. Mirage for $18 today. I bought him, despite the fact that one day in the far far future my HTS Mirage will come in the mail, because the Target Mirage was the first ALternator I've seen in months. :banghead:

    Thanks for letting me know. I'm going this weekend to pick up MK Armageddon, I might do that to knock the tax off the price.

    I got both classics voyagers the day before the TRU sale started, I ought to go in there and see if I can nab a couple free basics *shrugs* I don't need any, but I'm sure I could come up with some kinda customs ideas.
