$40 not including tax or shipping?! Good Gawd! I’ll keep approving my Target delays or await my Amazon backup.
Route 110 Walmart actually had a tracks and scorponok with 2 wing fingers and 2 wheeljack. Levittown target had 2 arks and 2 Rodimus
Yeah no kidding. Look at those Studio Series markups, holy crap. SG Optimus and Ratchet not too far behind. Forbidden Planet does this too. Currently $34.99 for Gen Selects Transmutate. Whew...
Im bummed because they normally don’t jack the prices up that bad. I like giving them the business vs. big companies. But not with mark ups like that!
And now my Amazon Surtur order has been pushed to October. There's part of me that wants to go back out hunting for that and maybe some of the Bad Batch Black Series figures but I just do not have that same drive that I do with Transformers. The only exception I'm making is with the Lightning Collection T-Rex Sentry which was pushed all the way back to March on Pulse.
Not as a rule, but definitely on some TFs. Ramjet was +$10, but others have been MSRP, and a few below.
I can understand a $5, maybe a $10 markup for more expensive figures. For example, I've never seen Rodimus in stores yet, but happily paid the $10 markup at Forbidden Planet since I knew it'd be a long shot before I found him again in the wild. Transmutate, though...not cool.
I think they deal with more than one distributor for some of their TFs. That can play a part. I actually think they came by some stock as one-off lots in the past as they got batches of things no longer available, but unlike Ollie's, not so heavily discounted.
2 MMP Primes at New Hartford Target, along with 1 Worlds Collide & 1 proper shoulder Galvatron. Wreck-Gar remains elusive in my area!
Target on Niagara Falls Boulevard in Amherst has 1 MPM-12, a Kingdom Rodimus, 6 T-Wrecks, and 5 SS Thrusts
