Would that be a time paradox, then?

Saw some of the new Monster High dolls.

Saw this Imaginext TRU exclusive and thought it was cute.

Also saw the first of the new 2014 DC Legos with New 52 Nightwing :-)

Walmart has Beast Hunters Deluxe Bonus Packs for $9.96 each. If you haven't gotten any of them, this is a really cheap and easy way to pick some of them up. Even saw Prowl in the mix, but mostly just wave 2-3 figures.

So THAT explains why no Wal-Mart in my area has had any deluxe Beast Hunters in stock since around late October! They've been stockpiling them for this promotion!
Now I finally have some motivation to pick up those Predacons that I've been hesitant to buy! At $5 each, I really can't pass on them anymore. I'm relieved that it wasn't a Black Friday promo, because I wouldn't endure Black Friday crowds even for $5 Transformers, lol!

trebleshot · 12-16-2013, 07:39 AM

The funniest part about that is the Walmart where I saw the bonus packs also had regular BH deluxes and were still selling those for $12.96 each. Same selection, too.

The only one of those I don't have is that Night Shadow 'Bee. I'll probably pick one of them up, just not sure what to do with the extra deluxe. I wonder if TFT would take it?

Frank Richards · 12-17-2013, 01:36 PM

I went to two of the five Wal-Marts in my area today, and saw multiple Bumblebee/Skystalker 2-packs, as well as a few Ratchet/Soundwave 2-packs, and a couple Smokescreen/Razorback packs. I passed on these, but snagged a Prowl/Bulkhead 2-pack

I still haven't seen Season 3 of TF: Prime, so I still don't know if I care enough about the Predacons to snag them, even at these prices.

Season 3 is going to look ugly...

Lol! I don't have a cable package that has The Hub, and I haven't checked lately to see if Netflix has added Season 3, but I saw the DVDs for that season at Wal-Mart today. I was tempted to get them, but I'm kinda skeptical about that season

While I thoroughly enjoyed seasons 1 and 2 of Prime, and while I am slowly beginning to get into the Beast Wars series, I don't know how I feel about this watered-down mash-up that they're attempting with Prime Season 3 :P

That's a great idea about TFT. They definitely accept Transformers.

Oh haha I thought you meant the figures themselves. The toon itself was awesome, sad to see this show go. Check them out. New Official Images Beast Hunters Deluxe Wave 6 - Transformers News - TFW2005

salsa4datass · 12-17-2013, 07:14 PM

^ oh no!!! Hasbro has figured out how to screw up the transformers line as well!!! 4 to 5 points transformations!!!!...

Season 3 was my favorite season, followed closely by the Predacons Rising movie. Only three of the Predacons released as toys are in-show characters: Predaking (S3/PR), Darksteel (PR) and Sky Lynx (PR). The latter two are Target exclusives in the US (as is the entire Predacons Rising sub-line).

We knew this was coming back in July and we know why Hasbro is going this route. Granted, some of the decos look atrocious (especially Bee). I'm still down for picking up all the Predacons, though - especially if Hasbro does all five Abominus guys (with or without the combination gimmick).

That's about how many steps it takes to transform G1 Optimus and he did pretty well back in the day. Besides I definitely agree that the movie toys got way too complicated for their own good. A transforming toy is no longer fun if it takes me, an adult, 30-45 minutes to go from one mode to the other.

But for those of you worried, Hasbro said that Generations will retain its current level of complexity. There's also a good chance that TF4 toys won't be as simplistic as these upcoming "deluxe" toys.

Yes season 3 was real good, I've said it before I'm sad to see this series leave, was one of the better TF toons ever besides G1 IMO

And yeah I'll get the con figures as well, and maybe the other 2 but we'll see how kiddy looking they are:P

Phantomcrow · 12-19-2013, 12:13 AM

Saw another new DC Lego set today. I kinda like this one.

Saw the Deluxe sets of these new Marvel Mashers. I do give them props for extra head included. THe angry lookng Tony Stark and the semi animated Logan head.

trebleshot · 12-19-2013, 06:36 AM

Saw the Hulk one the other day myself. No Doom, but that's a good thing since I spent my money on Gen. Waspinator and Skids instead.

Oh cool, that's really good to know. I was under the impression that all of those Predacons were on the show. That's gonna save me a ton of cash on Transformers, lol. I was tempted to get Sky Lynx just because of the Gen-1 reference, but now that I know that he's actually on the show, I may just have to get him.
I'm also SOOO glad to hear so many good things about Season 3. Seasons 1 and 2 of Prime reignited my interest in the Transformers franchise, after the movies and the lackluster Unicron Trilogy nearly destroyed any interest I had. I'm glad the series is ending on a high note. I'd rather see a series end strongly, rather than stick around too long and devolve into mediocrity. Hopefully the next series will be just as good, if not better

I passed up on a ton of clearance stuff at Target recently. Mostly because I just couldn't buy it all. Anyway they had those Halo 4 cryotubes for $10. I didn't know if that was a good price but I wanted to look online and see how they looked with Marvel figures. When I went back to get a couple they were gone

Are these 6''? and if so how much? I'd grab them just for the headsculpt to use for other figures if they were cheap enough.

Falconhood · 12-26-2013, 06:12 AM

Those MASH-UPS look cool! I can't imagine passing on them, unless the price is outrageous. They look hard edge like Sigma Six figures.

Toys"R"Us/Babies"R"Us

Phantomcrow · 12-26-2013, 05:25 PM

Hit Target with no luck finding ML for Captain America.
Saw what looked like half the super hero shelves on clearance.

passed on some new Monster High.

I kinda want this new playset, just to have somewhere to put all the pets.

also saw some new Hunger Games Barbie. The Katness looks pretty good, but the Effie just makes me want to chuckle.
