Cybertron Defense Red Alert and Menasor for sure. There may have been a Cryo-Scourge, but I don't remember for certain. They just had a few left.

I had a feeling thats what you would say. Seems those three are quite common to still be found in clearance aisles. I just wish by some stroke of insane luck I could come across a Cybertron Thunderblast in a clearance aisle, that would make my day.

I'd really like a Cybertron Defense Red Alert but find any in the UK, a Cybertron Defense Scattorshot would be nice as well!! ha ha.

US TRU deal on the PS3 TF game... if this thing is $30 after a 60% reduction, that was a bloody expensive game when it was released...

While not quite a sale item, Argos has now reduced their Alt Wheel jack to just under £15. Their TF selection also seems to be reduced, at least on the website, both Alt Ravage and Alt Prime are no longer available and it looks like some peoples hopes for Alt Mirage being in Argos have been dashed.

Awesome! Thanks for the heads up!
It seems the "holiday25" works even if you're below $50. Nice!

EDIT: Looks like the free shipping doesn't apply when you use the holiday25 code, so try both to see what gives you the best deal.

Glad to be of service. :)

If you want both, your total AFTER the 25% off still has to be $50+ for the free shipping. So your pre-coupon total has to be like... $67, i think.

EDIT: Yup, i tried it again and that does let you get both discounts. and you can use non-sale items to add up to the $67+ mark (if you dont need many of the $10 figures). I used a 25th Ann'y Optimus and it came out to $56.16 shipped free. :up:

There's only one, I've just posted it hundreds of times. And I made it. I'm just not entirely sure why.

:(
I was a total knucklehead when I ordered, so my pre-shipping price was slightly below $50. I paid $13 for shipping on stuff. So, being the pessimist I am, I am lamenting the "I could have gotten one more transformer for $7.50 less than I paid for my current order" instead of rejoicing in the "I just ordered $145 worth of Transformers for $58 shipped!". I actually called Hasbro to try to change the order once I realized what I had done, but it had already gone to the warehouse to be filled. Stupid efficient Hasbro with their stupid nice and helpful operators and stupid awesome deals.
Once the box gets here, though, I'm sure I'll feel just fine about it all.

My glee over my super-deal has been tempered by my inability to post in an existing thread :(

Although I am happy that with the help of discount codes, coupons, and promotional sales, I've been paying well under retail for every Animated figure I've bought aside from the first four or five I picked up :)

That's become my point of pride as well. It also makes my wife less likely to hurt me. After the collection tops 500, there needs to be a new challenge other than just accumulating.

Yeah, I used eight or so of the coupons over the weekend and amassed most of the Animated Deluxe figures at $3 each. They're like candy at that price. Then it became a point to find Bulkhead and Ultra Magnus as they're in the show, but only at the lowest price possible.

I'm probably going to take a friend with me over the weekend to double up on the "one coupon per purchase" limitation and use the rest for more philanthropic purposes.

Also have to say the Animated style is definitely growing on me. It helps that they're all well-thought-out little toys, too. :)
