TAV Powerglide.

Question for you Fenrir, how much does it cost to buy one powerglide from RK with shipping? I haven't ordered anything from RK for like 3 years since they upped their shipping prices.

$ 9.90 for Powerglide

Registered Air Mail Small Packet - Registered Air Mail Small Packet at $ 8.17 (presently assigned in SEA so the cost is not that high)

so you pay $18.07 for powerglide?

Yup. Basically the same price of the domestic TRU release (god@mn hard to find)version of Hasbro Powerglide plus or minus $4.00

Brakeneck available at tru.com for 16.99:

HTS just put up First Aid, Blades, and Streetwise, but oddly no Rook just yet. Hopefully he goes up later soon as well.

I should note that it says they are shipping on 7/20.

Hasbro Toy Shop has just put up pre-orders for Transformers Combiner Wars Deluxe wave 3 Blades, First Aid, and Streetwise up for pre-order! As of right now there are no signs of Rook yet, but remember keep your optics tuned to Seibertron.com for the latest in news and updates! You can order yours today by clicking directly on the picture below!

Sigh... trust hts to only get 3/4 of the team we've been waiting for up on their site and assuming, they don't put Rook up until later, they're basically saying go f*#k yourself, you don't get to buy just the protectobots to get free shipping (the reason you wait on hts), you have to purchase them separately and pay shipping and taxes out the ass TWICE or risk not getting them

At least the price dropped on the limbs from 16.99 to 14.99, Also doubt they'll sell out before they post rook cause I bet everyone will be waiting for him to place their orders.... or not.

And here I thought I was the only one that thought that of HTS. I've been a victim of this decisive tactic of theirs many times.

But is it me or is HTS getting this wave late? They're not even shipping them out until mid to late July. Targets have been getting this wave in since May and Wal-Marts since early June (which is where I picked up my set a week or so ago).

Lucky you no offense, but my stores aren't even restocking the generation figures; I've only barely seen wave 1. Yeah, I fell victim to the cyclonus hotspot uploading d*@ck move, but bbts hasn't gotten any of them since the first batch sold out so...

Where are you based, in general of course?

I am SO glad that I found all four protectobot deluxes at my local Walmart a couple of weeks ago. If I were still waiting for HTS to be posting them all I would have gone off my nut. Especially seeing this - that they've posted only three of them. Meaning anyone who wants a complete set is gonna have to wait even longer for them to put Rook up there with the others.

Now, I DO regret not being able to take part of their promo discounts, and the slightly lower prices I'm seeing. But not to the point where I would wait that long. I got mine through luck and good fortune of catching them on the shelves of a local retail store.

I still have no idea why HTS seems to be totally on the ball for SOME of their figures, while others take forever to wheeze their way onto their website, and while some figures never get posted at all.

Sorry HTS - you missed out. Try and be a little quicker on the draw, and more consistent with your own stuff.

I know exactly why: b/c they know we need these, and that we need these as a SET. If they released them at one we could get them and the free shipping; this way we have to pay for shipping twice over, or add in superfluous figures to get to $50 TWICE. And while it may be a good way to drive sales and move old merch, it also drives away your customers

They pulled the same stunt with slingshot and neck brace. You couldn't get them and hotspot in a neat and tidy purchase, you either caved and got them with cyclonus (it only sucked if you didn't want cyclonus) or substituted another $20+ to get them with free shipping. THEN they put hotspot up 10 hours later

If even one of them sells out before rook appears, hasblow toy s#*t will not get my business F@#k this, f*&k them, you can't even call them out on it, b/c all they have to do is say it was a clerical error

So.... I'm pretty sure HTS isn't an evil entity hell bent on making you pay shipping by purposely holding back on some figures.

Perhaps, but every time new figures come out, this is how it happens

picked up legion underbite also to get the free shipping.

still waiting on quickslinger and brakeneck to be back in stock.

i look forward to the coupons i get in the mail for hts when my purchases arrive. but last time the one i got had already expired by about a week. that is pretty lame. and today i had to pay the full price when i should have had one that would get me probably 15 percent off and still be good.

I doubt they will get more of those 2. Toysrus has brake neck though.

Oh! That's both interesting that nobody made anyone aware of it, and sucktastic to those who didn't try it out.

Well they had both, not sure if anyone else has quickslinger Just trying to help the guy, since we all saw this coming, as far as scarcity and inflation.

Your right, TRU doesnt have both so someone who wants both would be better off at TFsource. Thanks for looking out for your fellow fans. We sometimes need all the help we can get in this hobby

Rook is up
