Steal of a Deal: Masterpiece MPM-5 Barricade $53 on Amazon.com

I’m going to wait for his price to go down further. He was $40 on Christmas Day, and I was thinking of buying him the next day, but he jumped back up to $67. Probably going to buy him though.

You should get him. Even for $62, that is a steal. He's a great Masterpiece figure

Yeah, agreed. I paid full price, and while I wish I could have gotten him cheaper (because who wouldn't?), I don't regret the price and/or purchase at all.

Finally decided to grab him. Seemingly out of nowhere, actually. Never cared for Movie Barricade's design in particular, and I've never purchased any Masterpieces. Just heard about how great he was and couldn't resist once the price dropped to $50. Took a leap of faith. Hope I'm not disappointed!

So, how did it turn out?

Wanted to inform fellow members that Walmart is clearancing out alot of current Transformers product, probably to make room for War for Cybertron SIEGE. Of note, my Walmart had POTP Legends for $5 and Reissue G1 Hot Rod for $15.

omg... it's worse than we thought Worst is that Battleslash was included in the holiday wave, but Roadtrap is not

Stocking Stocker Wave Mine had Windcharger, Beachcomber, Cindersaur and Battleslash. Skrapnel was in them as well, but that could very well be overstock.

That's pretty much the same as everyone found. It was a basically a revision wave made just for Walmart.

Per Entertainment Earth, what you saw was Wave 3, Revision 1 (Battleslash, Beachcomber, Slash and Cindersaur) with the Skrapnels being overstock/shelfwarmers.

My Walmarts hadn't had a Skrapnel in store for over half a year, but he was in the stocking stuffer display so he was definitely part of this Walmart wave.

Found Titans Return Overlord at Marshall's in Bedford Massachusetts for $12.99.

I'm going to my local Marshalls now, thanks for the heads up

Just got Titans Return Overlord at Marshalls for 13$! I absolutely love this guy! He is just so much fun. You should definitely not pass this opportunity to get this amazing guy for an amazing price

Glad you found him

Hasbro Pulse has Siege wave 2 deluxes up for preorder for $10

https://hasbropulse.com/collections/transformers

Good lookin' out, Homie!!!! Thanks!

Ordered!
You can't beat this half price stuff.
So, maybe the wave 1 pricing on HTS wasn't a mistake.

NP anytime, one good enable deserves another

Sure can't beat half price and it doesn't seem like a mistake, but why are we paying $20 at retail.

I skipped Chromia as I like the Gen version better and I'm going end up with 3 very similar lady bots already.

Awesome! Thanks for the hot tip! I wasn’t even aware that Hasbropulse had been up and running.

Alright! Picked up Sixgun!

So I guess Hasbro Pulse is the replacement for HTS? It was certainly a nicer experience than HTS ever was, for me at least. But I don’t remember Hasbro ever saying anything about Pulse being the new platform. Was it just something I missed?

Anyone else notice the SS leaders are only $39.99? It's like 2017 all over again

Even weirder, Jetfire and Megatron are $39.99 while Grimlock and Blackout are $49.99.

OK, anyone else having problems with the new Hasbro Pulse site? I want to pay for some items via Paypal, and the option is not coming up for me, their IT chat says "use secure checkout", which of course I am doing, but its only going straight to the credit card screen, and of course their chat window doesn't have the ability to follow you through the transaction, so you lose them right away... .

I just checked my order status and it's been cancelled? No email.

Just checked. My order is still good.

Strange.

I clicked the link in the confirmation email. I created an account and it shows three orders, but no status. Each one marked with an A, B and C. I'm waiting on a chat with them.

Hmmmmmm. I immediately created an account after placing the order, and everything showed up in my orders profile. Just logged back into my account to check.

I created my account before ordering, and have no issues, yet. Payment status Authorized, fulfillment status unfulfilled.

Same, I'm starting to think they cancelled the one order and split it into three. Still waiting for an answer. My post was more of a "hey, check yo shit" just in case kinda thing.

Update for anyone who may have seen the same thing - I'm good to go. They broke the orders up into three because they were pre-orders.

paypal option isn't functioning/available, decided to wait, preorder for six-gun went up to $19.99

Are the deluxes still $9.99? I'm seeing $19.99. No Skytread, no Sideswipe

Sjeng wrote:Are the deluxes still $9.99? I'm seeing $19.99. No Skytread, no Sideswipe

Yeah, the prices jumped after they sold out.

Well fuck, that didn't last long.

Ironhidensh wrote:Well ****, that didn't last long.

The site looks nice though.

Seeing in some chats I'm in that a bunch of people who ordered the deluxes at $9.99 had their orders cancelled due to the price error.

They also marked the Rescue Patrol or whatever it's called to $19.99. Those are actually supposed to be $10 fools!

Just checked mine, still says unfulfilled and priced at $10.59.

Sometimes patients is rewarded. Buying new figures straight from Japan can be expensive, especially when $100+ is becoming more and more the norm. But if you wait long enough the deals begin to surface in places that may not be part of your normal online toy hunt. Just like with any other Amazon in any other countries Amazon Japan has some periodically great deals including some Takara Tomy exclusive Transformers for as much as 62% off! And what's really helpful is that the site has an English language option. And their international shipping is usually super cheap and surprisingly fast, typically averaging around $11 per item (to the US) and less than a week! Below you'll find a few of the best deals running right now, but keep in mind the prices fluctuate often. Also keep in mind that the price you see includes an 8% sales tax that is removed at checkout.


Encore Micron Unicron 8,001 JPY ($71.49 USD) 60% off


Power of the Primes Nemesis Prime 4,427 JPY ($39.56 USD) 45% off


Masterpiece Movie MPM-7 Bumblebee 6,288 JPY ($56.18 USD) 37% off


Encore Big Convoy 5,256 JPY ($46.96 USD) 34% off


Encore Beast Wars Returns Convoy 7,600 JPY ($67.91 USD) 62% off


Unite Warriors UW04 Devastator 16,241 JPY ($145.11 USD) 35% off


Unite Warriors UW01 Aerialbots 9,961 JPY ($89.00 USD) 34% off


Beast Wars Masterpiece MP-34 Cheetor 5,299 JPY ($47.35) 24% off (pre-order)


Masterpiece MP-44 Optimus Prime 3.0 33,471 JPY ($299.06 USD) 32% off (pre-order)

There's a lot of similar deals found throughout the store so if you're looking for a good deal or are willing to wait for a good price drop consider using Amazon Japan as an option.

Those prices are great, especially for UW Devy and Superion.

Between this and the Siege line, my wallet's gonna need therapy.

I spotted these at 5 Below last Friday, they rang up for $4 instead of the marked $5.




I was only interested in one of them and he was pretty easy to find.



The box was so light I thought it was empty.

The links don't take you to the figures btw. May want to fix that...

This is amazing as I never thought about ordering from Amazon Japan. I have always pre-ordered from online shops here in the USA.

I just picked up MP-44 for $310 shipped, about $150 less than if I bought it domestically and MP-45 for $94 shipped versus $130. Once I changed the UI to English and created a new account it was very easy.

I was on the fence for MP-44 primarily based on the price but at $310 that's enough of a deal to justify the purchase.

Amazon JP is great. Their prices are as low as the other Japanese stores, but the 1200 yen shipping is unbeatable. I've bought a few SOC and MP figures through them, and have had OP on PO for a while. Really hoping they get SOC Voltron too!

Oh man, I am hoping for SOC Megazord. its apparently getting a reissue this year.

So, if you already have regular Amazon and a Prime membership, do you have to register separately for Amazon Japan?

Those are really great deals, just a shame that Amazon JP (or US for that matter) don't ship to Switzerland

Yes, they are independent.
