Hasbro Platinum Edition Conehead Seekers and Blaster / Perceptor Intel Ops Sighted at Philippine Retail

Posted by Va'al Jun 4, 2015 at 12:24pm CDT 22,241 views
Our fellow Seibertron.com user Generator_G1 has sent a sighting for the new Platinum Edition sets, reissuing the Coneheads and Blaster/Perceptor for new and old collectors who did not get their mitts on them way back when! The Toys'R'Us store in over in Manila, and as seen in the photos below, Coneheads are 3.5k Philippine pesos (approx 78 USD) while the Blaster/Perceptor set is 7.5k Php (approx 166 USD).

Check out a video review of the Conehead seekers here, and out first reporting on in-hand images of the Intel Ops box right here - and remember, if you spot these or other figures at retail, make sure to use our Sightings database and forum sections to help out fellow collectors!

Does anyone know if the insecticons have been spotted? They have them in my Toysrus in Canada. Just a tip, if you're not finding large items like that, check the electronics section. Sometimes they put expensive collectables there.

I don't remember where they were spotted first, but it was a while ago in an American Target or a TRU in the Philippines.

If you live in Clemmons, NC, the K-Mart there has like 10 of the Insecticon sets for $79.99 each. No one has even touched them.

Haha, same for the ones in the Toysrus at Laval Canada. But here, they cost 109$ cdn, which is about 10$US more than what Kmart sells them for.

You know what kind of disgusts me, the actual MSRP is 64.99$US. It's right there in black and white, I wonder why it isnt being repsected:

Because Kmart and TRU are run by greedy bastards. But hey, at least you guys found them and maybe have a shot at getting them on sale or clearance some day, the two Kmarts near me stopped carrying Transformers after TF4.

We've seen the Hasbro Platinum Edition Intel Ops set, with Perceptor and Blaster, show up at Philippine retail just recently, and we now have some official stock photography courtesy of Brazilian retailer HobbyBrinquedos. Check them out in package, out of package, with Ramhorn, Eject and Steeljawk - all mirrored below! And perhaps take a stroll down memory lane with our own galleries of the original toys, here and here.

Nice! But that set will be 200$ for sure. I'm not really interested in Perseptor and I always wanted Blaster. Maybe when this set will come out, this will drive the price of the latest reissue and the vintage down a bit.

So instead of getting rewind, perceptor gets a box of crap ? I dont see anyone buying this. Why is hasbro re-re-re-issuing stuff that was just re-issued maybe 2-3 years ago ? Seems like just yesterday I bought perceptor and the insecticons 3 pack at TRU for about 50 bucks a pop. Im not sure why anyone would want to pay double the price for a bigger box...

And big ups to Va'al for the debut of "Steeljawk"....you rock ! ;)

What are those red things in the lower middle of the package? I don't recall Blaster nor Perceptor having those things.

Are the cassettes the same size as masterpiece jaguar and rumble? If so, then I may get this set just for that!

Does anybody know?

It's a new accessory: a holder for the microscope slides for Perceptor to use.

They need to shrink these guys down to 6 inches max and give Perceptor a new head.
