BBTS is having a 20% off sale on many recent Transformers offerings. Depending on mark up prior, this brings many of the items close or a little under typical retail. BUT, they do have the GoBots set and Titans Return Fortress Maximus is down to $159.99

Don't tempt me on that Fort Max.....
You don't need tempting. It's not a good figure at all.
That's what she said.
TR Fort Max is not a good Transformer, but he is a good super robot. He's one of two Titans I've purchased knowing that I will rarely - if ever - transform it (the other being The Ark). If you missed out on any iterations of this guy along the way, $160 is a pretty reasonable ask.
TR Fort Max is a heavy Metroplex Retool.
I think there have been listings of a Leader Class Comic Fort Max... maybe that's an IDW-era tank, but I'm kind of hoping it's the "smaller" Fort Max from the G1 comic book, more in scale with Comic Scorpinok... himself comparable to Power Master Optimus Prime. Leader would be a good scale for that.
It might be practical to wait and see if that's a better Fort Max.

The problem with Marvel Fort Max is that toy makes up for a lot of deficiencies by being a bigass city, so downscaling him really hurts it as a toy. As that "aircraft" mode that's just him splayed out with a big tower on his gut ain't great either.
At least with Scorponok, a big scorpion is still fun even if it's not a bigger scorpion.

Oh, sure. I'd really like a Leader (or even Voyager?) Scorpinok based on the G1 comics; but given how... lame... Fort Max's alt mode is, it's easy to get it perfect and super poseable... and still have room to do something else with it if they wanted to.
Target has a bunch of stuff on clearance, probably to start making room for the pre-holiday reset. Didn't check the exact prices, but Target Prime, SS Overload, Devastation Prime, and more are marked down.
Speaking of Target…it’s Circle Week! Their counter to Amazon Prime week, they are offering $10 off $40 or more toy purchases. Online and in store, and it DOES apply to preorders (like the upcoming multipack or Devastation recolors)
Thanks! I had the 4-pack on order, but cancelled it and reordered with the $10 off.
Prime Day deals are out, and I didn't see much compelling for long time fans:
TF One Orion Pax converting helmet $10
A bunch of ReAction for $13
Bunch of One step or Battlers in the sub-$10 range
Most of the Amazon exclusive kid figure bundles are 30-50% off.
An interesting coupon I found is a "Spend $40, get $10 off" special, which includes Devastation Optimus Prime and SS86 Bumblebee, along with assorted other toys (Flying Fist He-Man, 5" Homer Simpson, Epic Hero X-Wing stood out to me, but there are many more)

Prime Day is adding more deals, the newest is Studio Series Age of Extinction Leader Optimus Prime for just $35
Ollies Alert:
Mine had (and I saw several cases on a pallet) of Studio Series Core figures. Barring other sightings, the assortment I opened was Wave 6 (RotB Arcee, Terrorcon Freezer, 86 Ironhide), and I couldn't tell if any of the other cases had different mixes. I'm assuming not since all had the same "shelf date" (May 1, 2022).
Keep in mind that wave 5 had RotB Arcee, Freezer, and reships of 86 Rumble, so he might be out there as well. And it also probably had the same "shelf date" due to the movie toys.

86 Rumble and Ironhide for cheap! Now I have to start hunting there again. I am calling it now, I will find them at my local store on 10/24/2025!
