Prime Day was July 15th, a Wednesday, and was a day like a Black Friday sale for Prime members. For the most part it was a big disappoint in the Toy Field, only 2 video games worth getting in the gaming area, and everything else wasn't much interest to me but I'm sure there were great deals in Electronics and Home stuff because a lot of things were claimed pretty quickly. Claiming is adding an item to your cart, you get a couple minutes to purchase before your claimed item goes to someone else, but if you have an item people really want you really want to jump on the "add to cart" button pretty quickly because these deals appeared to be limited. You were also only able to claim one of each item which I found really great because it prevented people from overstocking for resale and such. A feature I greatly appreciate.
Aside from everything in the toy section being more for younger children and babies, there were a few things I was really happy to see including a number of the Black Series Star Wars figures of which I got 2, and the Monster High Astranova. A few Equestria girls and Disney dolls were on sale but I didn't claim any of them. I was however able to claim a SDCC exclusive from last year of Mane-iac Mahem and Spike. So behold my Prime Day Loot Below!

SDCC 2014 My Little Pony Mane-iac Mayhem and Spike the Dragon Figure Set 44.26 was 56.58
Monster High Boo York, Boo York Floatation Station and Astranova Doll Playset (22 something) was 44.88
Star Wars The Black Series Han Solo and Tauntaun 6 Inch Figures 28.97 was 42.40
Star Wars The Black Series Luke Skywalker and Wampa 6 Inch Figures (28 something, something) was 40.36
So the deals weren't tremendous, the best deal I got was definitely on Astranova, but with Collecting the Black Series it was nice to get a good deal on those two sets. The downfall is that the quality of my MLP exclusive's box is slightly dented which is a big pet peeve of mine since I keep almost everything in their original box. Everything else was in great condition.

| I'm honestly so impressed with my Prime day loot, I was sitting at the computer as the seconds counted down adding them to my cart as fast as possible like it was a video game. I was super proud of myself, I even did a victory dance when I snagged Astranova. My boyfriend even played victory music for me as I payed for them, which may be stupid to some but bargains are always the highlight of my week, especially on the things I've been really wanting. |
Next year I am likely to participate in this even again, but I won't expect much listings I'll want, it's just a matter of keeping an eye out for the good ones before they go away. I was lucky enough to have not found anything I wanted while I was at work. The only thing that could make this event better would be if they increased the amount of each item they had in stock for the event so everyone had a chance to get the great deals all day long and if they did that, that they then made the deals last longer than a couple hours and made it all day, but you know, I'm sure they have their reason.
I for one feel like I got the only things worth getting at this event in the toy department for which I am forever grateful. I did want that Black Series C-3P0 but it was gone so fast! I hope that all of you got the things you were wanting at this event, if not I apologize and wish you luck next year!
