And then there's this news: Starting in June, Amazon will be taxing sellers on their fees. Seriously?
RKillian
Burned me pretty badly. I mean I didn't fall for ordering TR Titans but Ollies turned out to be a one-trick pony. I made up alot of ground bundling a couple of cheap Fort Maxes with deluxes that I couldn't pay people to take otherwise. But Trypticons just keep coming out of the woodwork. You can't get $60 at a show, much less $70 online. God help you if you paid distributor prices for them.

*Sees the news credit icon*
*Everyone complaining about how the supposed 70% off is really 1-2% off*
Is this that 'fake news' I keep hearing about? View attachment 28251357

Brand unification is a great thing, but e-tailers needed to be smart and not carry both the domestic and import releases of POTP/SIEGE figures when there's virtually no difference between the two. The name of the game at this point for online retailers is who can get to market faster. If you're a week late, you might as well kiss those sales goodbye and on top of that good luck trying to convince people that are dead set on finding product at a local store for the "thrill of the hunt" or just to save a few bucks, even though you may spend more in fuel going store to store. Combine that with customers waiting for bigger purchases like Titan Class figures for $40 at Ollies, it's no wonder any online toy store is doing well.

The Chinese have wised up to what the end user was paying and jacked up their prices. The difference between trying to order TFC Hercules and DX9 Dutch is pretty stark.

So, after gouging out my eyes with the single worst sale advertisement ever, clicking the link & actually looking at it, & discovering it is an ad for the everyday standard prices, I actually vote that we entertain a motion as a community against this kind of post & just request a direct link to the event from vendors. It is such a horribly done advertisement that it breaks your will & literally drives you away from making a purchase. Even worse, is when you actually go to the site & find out not only does Wal-Mart have a better website (saying a lot when Wal-Mart does absolutely horrible) – pricing anyplace else on the internet is cheaper, even with overseas shipping attached.
I hope the honest & constructive critique is taken, analyzed & acted upon – because when your a niche community vendor & you lose that niche community – your only selling anime statues…

That's a nice way of saying this sale is complete hogwash.
I'm embarrassed that I even allowed myself to click the link.
And that first post is excruciatingly long. A simple link would suffice.
WishfulThinking
They already turned me off when my credit card was compromised using the site last November and they gave little to no assurance that the website has been secured since then.
I think we're finally seeing the result of Hasbro and Takara pushing out better product AND the effort to unite the brand globally. E-tailers are having a hard time moving 3rd party product but can't take a huge loss on it either because the mark-up was already slim to begin with. And Hasbro's product is readily available through other e-tailers at, generally, a lower cost. And the global unification effort means international product that would generate sales is also shrinking. And it's not just TFSource who will be feeling the pinch on the Transformers side of things…
elizaw
why is the walmart reissue hot rod like $55? you can get 3 hot rod's at walmart.com and some snacks for that much, and even more hot rod's at a walmart location that has them for sale. tfsource should really rethink what they're pricing when holding a "spring clearance sale" like this, and i don't just say that to openly bash the standard in buying transformers online, especially in third party figures, but because i was a customer to tfsource before, and i really hate being turned off as a customer of this site.
gibdozer
Sweet, we can finally have Boldforms Gladius for a mere $120! Hey tfsource writing SALE in front of something is meaningless if you don't actually change the prices. Honestly it's kind of insulting when your sale price is still 2x what bbts is charging for the same figures.
CodeXCDM
Some items are a whopping 1-2% off! /s
In all seriousness though, the page probably should sort in a manner to probably avoid showing the "sale" items that have that comically low of a price drop… Got some stuff 30-50% off, probably better to show those, clear them out faster, no?
Hyoumaru
Maybe im missing something, but it doesn\'t look as though anything changed from the last time I checked the sales listing.
