    If you wait one more year, I expect them to be available at 16.67 dollars each...... (50 dollars / 3).

    This has to be the biggest 3rd party fiasco ever given the names involved.

    FP produced way too many of them, they over estimated demand. Been on various forms of sale for years now.

    This set was announced as a TFSource exclusive way back in 2012 at the very height of FP's popularity (FP was literally the STAR of the 3P world that year), so I think both expected this set to sell out pronto. Since then TFSource has pretty much tried their best to give this set away through multiple promotions and here we are 3 years later and it appears they still have plenty of stock on this.

    Additionally, FP's going to release another redeco called the War Bugs, but based on the "popularity" of this release, it's safe to say that it ain't going to happen.

    Ah, okay. Thanks. I think I'll hold off, since they're not my thing.

    Finally, at least one of these smaller retailers has announced a time that their sales go live.

    I'm not really expecting a lot though, probably just small discounts on mediocre figures. I'd be shocked if we saw any MP-scaled third party figures on sale -- it seems like a lot of stuff is out of stock on TCP anyways.

    Yeah usually its stuff thats maybe been around a little while that they are trying to move to make room in the warehouse. Which could be good if its something you passed on when it came out. LOL

    Definitely. I remember last year the big things everyone was trying to move was KFC's Ultra Magnus, the ToyWorld headmasters and Quantron. Captured Prey had a number of low stock items they put on sale to move them out, and they really stood out thanks to it.

    I was hoping to see ToyWorld's Throttlebots on sale but TCP only has one available. Honestly, it seems a lot of stuff on TCP is sold out, and it just seems like there weren't as many "flops" this year compared to last year, or figures that had such a high price tag everyone passed.

    I would say you're likely to see Invisible on sale at many retailers, since retailers are going to want to move him now that Sphinx is out. You'll see a ton of leftover Dr. Wu stuff on sale, some Renderform stuff, I could see some recolors being on sale like the Iron Factory Twincast. Basically, you're likely to see things that got replaced with a better version or recolors no one really wanted.

    Azalea is another likely one as it's old and not moving, maybe the iGear sharks. I could see Azalea going 50% off as a sort of doorbuster due to its age and the hype around it has simmered.

    Just looking at what TCP has in-stock for third party figures and knowing that nothing that is hot will go on sale (and if it does, the discount is minimal), I'm not really as excited as I was before.

    I bet if FP does the 4th member people will start buying the 3 pack plus the 4th member. Seems incomplete with only 3 members of the deluxe insecticons.

    I've had nothing but positive experiences with both Toydojo and TCP, so I've committed to seeing what they put up before buying from other places (that MP-10 was really tempting!)

    Anyone remembers when BBTS/TFSource would usually unveil their deal(s)?
