Canadian TRUs work in mysterious ways.

Would you consider them not ordering the gen Arcee and Chromia wave or Gen Brainstorm proper? They also never had the legends wave with groove.

You mean Year of the Goat Soundwave? Year of the Monkey Primal's in USA colors.

aye that thing! i knew there was an Optimus Primal kicking about somewhere.

Cool! I like seeing things physically being on shelves. It's not like it wasn't readily available to me already (I bought him on Wal-Mart.ca), but I get a warm feeling for some reason knowing I don't HAVE to rely on the internet. Like with a certain Godzilla like G1 reissue

My TRU DEFINITELY never got the Year of the Goat Soundwave. In fact, I just sort of assumed that they didn't come to retail. And I reallllllllllllly wanted one. Not only am I a 'goat' but my fave is Soundwave.

^ presumable a potential look at how Nosecone may be....?

Edit: Having run the page auto-translate, this is supposedly Nosecone

Looks like it could also be a prototype botcon ramhorn still looks a bit underwhelming to be honest, the drill needs to be a lot bigger, which oddly enough wasn't a problem I had with ramhorn.

You know, saying "G2 Superion was found at North American retail" is just going to confuse people and send people living in the US that don't know better out to waste gas and bug their local TRU employees. We know that Canadian and US TRUs have different warehouses and sometimes even don't stock the same stuff, so you should really put "Canadian retail" instead of "North American" retail in the news story. I've also seen stuff turn up in Mexico and you don't call those news stories "North American retail."

Mexico is Central America....

I'm looking forward to this release, had ummed and ahhed for a while, but decided to get this and Menasor for my NeoG2 collection.
