In case anyone didn't know...
Aldi has Prime deluxes in their ad (I think starting today, but some had them out early) for just 9.99. Including Vehicons! Apparently lots of Vehicons. I don't think there are any reports of Rumble/Kup yet though. |

Got an Aldi right across the street from my neighborhood, and I need to pick up milk anyway, so I think I know where I'm going after work (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon-hotrod.gif)

Might have to check that out. I'm not really into Prime, so $16 is too much for me to spend on a toy from a line I'm not collecting, but I might pay $10 for a Vehicon or other character that could fit in to a more general display.

Here is a store locator for those of you that want to see if one is near you.

The thing driving me nuts about this is I don't really need any Prime deluxes right now. After HTS got Vehicons in stock I'm actually okay on Vehicons. But I want to check it out anyway...

Seriously, if someone would be nice enought to grab a Vehicon for me I'd pay the cost plus shipping for it.

QUOTE(Shockwave 75 @ Oct 31 2012, 09:40 AM)  Seriously, if someone would be nice enought to grab a Vehicon for me I'd pay the cost plus shipping for it. I was planning on running to my local Aldi on my lunch break, so I can check for you. If an extra $5-7 isn't out of the question for you either, then I know of a large handful of Vehicons for sale at the standard big box stores in my town. Prime toys aren't really flying of the shelf here, so I'm surrounded by Vehicons, Kups, Knockouts, etc. -------------------- |

Is this just at Aldi in the US? Can any fellow UK fans confirm if Aldi has or has not got them in?
Thanks to Hasbro UK's shocking distribution the newest Prime deluxe I have seen is Ratchet, yet my local TRU has FOC deluxes --------------------   |

This could be a boon for people like Destron-D69 if they have Aldi in Canada.

Alright, gonna get myself some cheap (and really good) hummus, some cheap wine, maybe some cheap ice cream, and...look at all the toys I already have. Dammit. Hopefully, I can score a Arachnid. Haven't got her yet and I hear she's awful. So of course, I want one.

I went to mine on my lunchbreak and they had waves 1-4, so there were a couple of Airachnids. -------------------- |

I was waiting for this!!!!! Yes! They do this every year and I always score big on hard to find stuff. I have 2 within 15 minutes of me and I will check them out in the next few days.

Hmm, come to think of it I did want to get a spare Knock Out for a custom, that's a good a reason as any.

Vehicon Airachnid Ratchet Knockout Dead End Wheeljack Hot Shot Might have been others, but i didn't dig through it much. Grabbed me a Vehicon (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon-hotrod.gif) (IMG:http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v465/DarkProwler/th_20121031_170531.jpg) This post has been edited by DeltaSeeker: Oct 31 2012, 04:29 PM -------------------- |

I also send my profound thanks - I scored a Vehicon too. Gargy, if I ever see you at a con, I owe you a drink.
