    Girlfriend just picked me up a Beast Hunters Sky Lynx for $3.88 (70% off) at the Hazel Dell Target. Only one they had, unfortunately, if anyone else is looking. This store went from having like 9 to 0 overnight, haha.

    However, I remember Sky Lynx seemed to start at 50% clearance so he might be this price at a number of other Targets.

    Also: Hazel Dell Wal-Mart nearby knocked all their Beast Hunters deluxe figures to $7.00 on clearance, but all they had left was a Beast Hunters Ratchet and she picked it up for me. If you're looking for older Beast Hunters figures at lower prices (I know a few Wal-Marts here have a ton of Wave 1) you might want to check out Wal-Mart. Generally Wal-Mart clearance isn't universal but it's worth a shot.

    Waited for these figures to get cheap for months now and it feels good to build a collection at only a fraction of the cost if I tracked them down brand new.

    Clackamas TRU has Supreme Class Starscream (Cybertron Version) for $99. That's almost twice what it originally went for when it first came out!

    The interesting thing is, the box has pictures of YOTH MP Prime on it, so perhaps TRU will be carrying these in select stores???

    You must not have been around much these last few months ;) 

    YOTH MP Prime has already come and gone at the TRUs in our area, I want to say about two months ago?

    I only saw a handful of restocks and he now seems to be gone for good. I got mine at the Jantzen Beach TRU in like... March. I don't remember the exact date but it wasn't recent.

    I think for the voyager figures and deluxe figures right now tru.com has the best deal $10 off a purchase of $50 or more 15 of $75 and $20 off 100. Plus free shipping on orders of more then $49 dollars. This does not include the exclusive figures at toys r us. I got 2 voyagers, 3 deluxes and 1 mini construct-bot for roughly $81 shipped.
    Toys"R"Us/Babies"R"Us

    If you are in the market for leader class figs and deluxes walmart.com has a buy a leader get a deluxe free: Transformers Age of Extinction Generations Leader Figure with Bonus Deluxe Figure: Action Figures : Walmart.com

    I wasn't going to buy anything online but basically getting %20 off at TRU.com it is hard to pass up. I am sure I'll still go out hunting for the construct-bots and see how the other parts of the line look in person.

    I wonder how long will it be for AOE figures to wind up at Ross/Big Lots/TJ Maxx, like prime figures did?

    Got an additional sighting now that I'm at home. Not a Transformers sighting, but this is a pretty great video game deal that I wanted to share.

    Both the Tanasbourne and Washington Square Targets have Pokemon White 2 for the Nintendo DS for $10.48 on clearance. Each location still has like four or so copies left, everywhere else the game is still $30 - $35.

    Awesome that they are showing up in the area. I was tempted to run over there before work, but I have a pair on pre-order from BBTS. I don't even know if I'm going to want Swerve, as he's not G1 enough :) P) and I don't follow the comics.

    Are they horribly marked up like other TF stuff is at Target these days?

    $10.99 each, so same price as the BBTS set.

    Forgot to mention everything else from yesterday, so I'll do it in a separate post. If you're hoping to get in on Beast Hunters clearance, you're probably too late:

    It seems all of our Targets are pretty much completely cleaned out of Beast Hunters figures. I hit like six Targets, and the only figures I found in abundance were:

    Darksteel -- mostly $13.98 though a few places had him at $10
    Sky Lynx -- mostly $6.98 though a few places had him at $3.88. Mill Plain Target is one such place.
    Construct-Bots Predaking -- Mostly $12.98 though a few places have this at $7.48. Mill Plain Target is again one of these stores. This thing is *everywhere*
    Abominus Giftset -- Never saw it lower than $12.48, this thing is also everywhere.

    In terms of regular Deluxes and Voyagers, these stores are almost 100% cleaned out. I didn't find one regular Beast Hunters Voyager at any of the five Target stores I hit, and the only deluxes I found were Starscream and Bulkhead for like $7.

    As mentioned earlier in this thread, Fred Meyer also has Beast Hunters stuff on clearance -- the prices are lowered by a few bucks and they take 50% off that new price. Deluxes are like $5 and change, Voyagers are around $9. I hit a ton of Fred Meyer in Vancouver and Portland and someone cleaned these stores out. The majority of stores didn't have one single figure on the pegs at all, nor in any designated clearance sections. It was weird since some of these stores had a ton of figures last week.

    The only exception was the Columbia House Blvd Fred Meyer, they had pretty much all of Wave 4. I grabbed Arcee (last one), Knock Out and Vertebeak (last one), they still have one Knock Out left and a ton of Bulkhead.

    All the Wal-Marts in the area knocked Beast Hunters deluxes down to $7 but all that was left was Lazerbeak.

    In the end, was hoping to find a Sharkticon Megatron (which was easy to find before the clearance) or a Dreadwing (though I haven't seen him in forever) for a good price but they are apparently all gone. If anyone has spotted one recently, let me know via PM :)

    Swung by Clackamas Target, TrU, and Walmart this afternoon but didn't find anything interesting. Stopped by Mall 205 Target on the way home from work and found a single Cosmos, scanner said no more in the back so it'll probably be at least a couple days till they restock.
