Earlier this week, we reported that the Platinum Edition 2-Pack of Leader Class Grimlock and Optimus Prime were available from TRU.com, which you can read all about here, and order here.

You can see the galleries of the original figures here and here.

Our own Seibertron.com staffer, mooncake623, found them at retail in Times Square, right in the heart of New York City at the Toys R Us store. (This is one of the largest TRU stores in the world, with a ferris wheel inside!)

I hope these aren't completely gone by the time I get back to the US at the end of October...

As we are eventually nearing the tail end of Transformers: Age of Extinction merchandise, now that the movie has been released for home viewing, some licensed products seen very early on are still dotting various retailers. Point in case, the Carrera Transformers Go!!! Slot Car Race Track Set spotted on Target.com, featuring car modes of Bumblebee and Lockdown, racing track and a big big box, all for the price of $109.99. Check out some mirrored images below!

So I just noticed TFsource mis-priced Takara's AD30 "Sky Drift" (the Voyager Skyhammer redeco) as if it were a deluxe. Just 29.99:

That's pretty darned good for an imported voyager that probably features better paint apps.

Something tells me that we're not getting anything new in AOE Deluxe beyond the first initial waves. No original design "expanded universe" figures so to speak. Those were some of my favorites from the previous movie lines. Exclusive repaints of already released AOE figures seems to be the call of the day now.

EDIT: Ok, yeah, we did get some Dinos that were'nt in the movie, but that's about it.

Yeah, we've seen everything that we will be getting for the AoE line in all Classes. Nothing beyond the end of 2014. Possibly the shortest-lived line ever at 6 months or so.

Fellow Transformers fan RJ Escobedo, has found the newest wave of One-Step figures at his local Wal*Mart Supercenter in San Antonio Texas, today. This wave's new bots consist of Galvatron (first time in the simplified line), Steeljaw (probably his only toy appearance) and helicopter mode Drift.

You can see his Facebook post here on the Transformers Collecting, Trading, Buying And Selling Group and we've mirrored the image below:

Thanks to a post on Weibo, we get nice in-hand looks at the upcoming 5 figure Platinum Edition Dinobots Unleashed which include Grimlock, Strafe, Slug, Slog and Scorn. These figures feature some chrome and transparent plastic. Check out the figures below.
