    I know Goodwill was selling the Blaster/Perceptor set a couple years back through eBay. I always assumed that stock originated from Target.

    Locally, NOTHING lasts long enough on clearance at Target to get donated. People are vultures, including myself.

    I'm not sure target still donates to goodwill. My goodwill gets what they call repurchased goods. Sometimes it's salvage, open packages and returns from Walmart or Kmart, sometimes it's target clearance. Alot of the time I see the same target clearance stuff at Bargain Hunt which is in no way a charity store. I've noticed I don't see target stuff hit 90% off anymore. I'm pretty sure it gets pulled before that point and sold to a salvage liquidator

    :p  Ah screw it. Stare at things too long you end up buying it. Drank my own poison (at least I made it two weeks :p o_O ) and just ordered SS Jetfire and Megatron off EE for $84.99 USD shipped. Code expires 1/31. Get'n 'em kinda early on sale, so win-win and don't have to Thunderdome-it locally or on Amazon / HTS extreme bargain hunt / wait until next Thanksgiving to New Years to track 'em down on slickdeals. :p 

    Mad Max Megatron and X-Men Blackbird and Transformers crossover baby!
    :rock  when I associate franchises in my brain I have to buy the references / nods / pastiche'ches. :p  It's 'mah kryptonite. o_O

    Did you get a confirmed ship date? Looks like they're still in pre-order mode on the page.

    Not yet, just placed my order like 30 minutes ago.

    But I noticed that EE ships stuff out in order received, so a lot of the times it still says pre-order still on their website early on even though they have stock in hand they are using to fulfill pre-orders, so with my luck it'll ship in a few days maybe? :p 

    Source: Me, I ordered Siege Leaders on 12/24 and got shipping notice on 12/27 even though the website said arriving January and website still says Pre-Order.

    This is such a vague question. Nothing has ever been concrete, but we saw Trypticon at Ollies this year and Predaking for $60 through HTS.

    The real answer is: you just need to be vigilant, check this thread often, and if you have an Ollie's or Burlington near you check regularly. There is no set cycle for these things.

    That ship is likely sailed......that is an "old" figure now. Just checked amazon and its selling for $160????

    Good advice here. I would add that you might want to set a 'watch' on the official discount stores thread and your local sightings thread, too.

    Entertainment Earth clearance'd him out late 2017 for $65, and actually took a long while to sell out if I recall... So yeah he's in secondary market hell now.

    Bon voyage Liokaiser, bon voyage. o_O 

    BBTS has 5 left at the moment for $130, which is straight up MSRP. There's always ebay.

    Good luck.

    These guys have it pretty well covered, I would just add my own observation: In general, the Titan Class figures have come out in the Summer and were available in discounted form, whether through a discount retail store or Black Friday/Christmas sales, around November/December later that same year. After that, prices may go back up a bit but stay lower than MSRP, and if they are still around (like Trypticon) the next season you can probably find them for good prices. For example, Trypticon was the 2017 Titan and he's been around $75 on Amazon (from third party sellers mostly) for quite a while now.
