Transformers fans and bargain hunters got lucky on Sunday April 5 and Monday April 6. That’s when you could get either (or both) of the above Transformers Animated Play Set 2-packs for 80% off—or $4.99.

Yep, that’s right. A brand new toy, exclusive to Target and only in the store for less than 1 month at 80% off.

Evidently this had to be a goof. There’s no way they would sell these at that price, intentionally anyway. Using the nice “Find It At A Target Store” link, I located a nearby store that showed them in-stock and at lunch a buddy and I drove on down.

I picked up the last one of each set—they’ll make great presents. But I can say, they were priced at $4.99 and they were sold out.

Rumors are flying today that the price has been adjusted to $22.99, but I’ve not been able to confirm that. The Target.com site still shows them at $4.99.

My guess, they were supposed to be discounted by $4.99. Most of the other Transformers product is currently 20% off. An computer glitch or human error  accidentally reversed the numbers and a lot of people got lucky.
