First, nobody wants All Spark Tech. Not even little kids. I got my Dlx Hotrod via Walmart.com and I got Legion Hotrod in a 2 pack with Bumblebee from Ross. Still haven't seen RiD Bludgeon or single carded Mini-Con Weaponizers.

Lol, those weaponizer mini cons are 2016 toys the US never got.

I've seen Squeeks & Dragon in the UK, not sure about Hound.

I was thinking of you as I was writing this. I know that Australian prices are aweful compared to what TF toys cost in the US, but there are pros and cons to every country and now you can have a toy that is practically impossible for anyone in the US to own.

I mean seriously, this is pretty nuts. If a toy is not found at retail, an american could usually rely to get it online, either at a standard price at amazon, or at a more expensive collectables online store. Or worse case scenario, they have to buy a case at an online wholesaler. Or on amazon.com from a marketplace seller selling it for double retail. But in this case, the only way for an american to get that toy is that one seller in australia on e-bay which would cost $33.17 USD for either heatseeker or Cyclonus.

And the worst part is these are pretty decent toys for their size class/pricepoint. If you find them for less than $10 AU, I say why not. Plus you will be enjoying toys your friends here cant even dream to have Muahahahahahaha

PS: Just being dramatic for the sake of it, I love you all and do hope these become available in some way or another. No one should be denied toys.

I still maintain that TR Deluxe wave 5 should be on this list on a technicality. Sure there were some limited sightings, but these were EXTREMELY limited. I mean even more limited than CW tail enders.Those at least were sighted in aftermarket places such as TJ Maxx and Marshalls. TR deluxe wave 5 had no sightings beyond extremely limited release at some Targets, and were never offered on HTS or TRU websites. Even BBTS must have been in short supply (combined with high demand) because they sold out so quickly.

I have zero interest in the RiD Legion figures, If I'd known that at the time I would have grabbed him and flogged him off to some poor unsuspecting sucker someone who really wanted it for their collection.

Maybe he'll still be there next time I go back that way ...

There were a ton of movie Transformers shelfwarming in my area. At the same time, I never saw TR Overlord or Misfire. I'm pretty disappointed that Misfire is so expensive aftermarket. I found only one Slugslinger, though.

Arent they off the list due to a technicality?

Also, if anyone wants Windblade, she is on amazon (through TFSource) for 22.94

Overlord and Skyshadow were both just under $40 on Amazon back in February.
