TRU Gathering At The Nemesis @ UK Retail

Postby Pretender Skywarp » Thu Sep 24, 2009 7:39 am

As above really ;-)

I found one at the TRU store in Stevenage, Herts, this morning. They retail at £59.99, which is roughly comparable to buying the figure separately at UK prices, and in line with the "HasbroUK exchange rate". Interestingly, the packaging is not a multi-language "euro-box", but in English only, manking me wonder how widespread these will be.

They are only two to a case, there was one case on the floor (the only one I saw), which I had to open myself, none physically on the shelves.

The other thing of not was the "Sideways Vs Wheelie" 2-pack was also on dsiplay. It wasn't priced and seemed to contain the"dark" variant, but I'm not sure if this has been sighted before?

No mate, definately Wheelie, it seem sto be a European exclusive re-pack. There is absolutely no advantage in buying this over the separate releases, whic were also on sale.

Good call, I hadn't thought of that. We often get repacked 2-packs here, that other places don't see, such as TFA:Ratchet/Bumblebee & 2007 Movie Longarm & B/Bee, the "Towed To Safety" pack. Sometimes they are more expensive than buying them individually!

Re:TRU Gathering At The Nemesis and Wheely vs Sideways boxes out in UK!

Postby Dead Metal » Thu Sep 24, 2009 12:15 pm

Motto: "Don't do drugs, beer's cheaper anyway!"
Seibertron.com member Pretender Skywarp has found and purchased the ToysRus exclusive 3 figure box-set "Gather ing at the Nemesis". The box-set contains Movie 2007 Voyager Megatron, ROTF Voyager Fallen and a G1 homage repaint of ROTF Deluxe Soundwave. The box set's price is GBP 59.99.
Strangely the box is not the usual European box type as it is in English only and not multi-lingual.


He has also found an odd 2 pack containing ROTF Deluxe Wheely and ROTF Deluxe Sideways both toys are unchanged from their normal retail release, the Sideways does appear to be the darker more metallic variant though. This set did not feature a price.

Below are two photos Pretender Skywarp took.

It's a repainted vesion not the same as the regular 07 release. More like a non metallic version of the Best Buy colours.

£59.99 = $100 US. Twice as much as what North America will pay. Same old same old. Cheaper to buy it from HK and have it shipped. Quote low value to avoid VAT.

Wheelie vs Sideways? what the hell? How does that fit in? I still have yet to see these. I dont care about the Sideways one since i have both molds but the Nemesis one im kinda interested in. But then again still havent seen Longhaul or activator Soundwave either.

It's been covered here many a time, but Hasbro seem to think that $1 = £1 :-x

Further to the above, Rodimus Minor over at the UK sightings thread, reports that the Wheelie 2-pack is £22.99, about a £3 saving on buying them solo.

ebay - $25.00 no shipping....save the $14.00. I have one open, transformed once, I'd be willing to part with..sitting in a tub right now...not sure how it would work out...shipping would be $7.00(probably)...and then what for the figure....sounds like ebay $25 might be best. I got some other stuff I'd be willing to part with, might make it more worth while.. pm me if interested.
