Found these price product markers at my local TRU, and the shelf space was cleared for them. I spoke to the manager and he looked them up for me and confirmed the local warehouse will be receiving them soon. Next week or 2 he said. So keep your eyes peeled for them.

Rage over Cybertron TRU exclusive...yep I know. Just wanted to give heads up that these 2 figure packs will be in stores very soon.

So since most of us know the 3 pack is Rage o Cybertron...can anyone tell me what the Voyager deluxe set is going to be?? :-?

The Code is TRA..Could it be TRansformers Animated 3 pack? consisting of Rodimus Minor, Cybertron Ironhide and Cybertron Ratchet?

Highly doubtful. Animated has been stopped for a long time now. I think it's the RoC set as well. And $40 for 3 deluxes isn't high. Consider that we pay $11.99 or $12.99 for each of them at stores.

The TF3 Voyager deluxe pack one if definitely for DOTM, just not sure which figures. If anyone knows , please chime in. Manager their couldn't tell me.

I know the TRA 3 pck is for ROC Optimus, Bumblebee, and Megs.

Here is something of interest - it looks like there is a fourth Toys R Us exclusive set on the way. This one is priced at $49.99 and is described on the shelf tag, spotted by 2005 Boards member Megatronus, as a "TF3 VOYAGER DELUXE PACK". Given the cost, it is potentially in a similar vein to the Revenge of the Fallen Gathering at Nemesis pack.

We'll update you when more information becomes available - popular thinking is that one of the two Shockwave redecos we have seen recently might be featured in this set.

Found this older post from 08/ 17 on TFW2005....still doesnt tell me which figures they are.

Nope. TRU uses the code "TRA" for all Transformers figures. Next time you're there, look at the labels on the edges of the shelves and ends of the pegs; they all say "TRA".

I hope the one with the Voyager turns out to be something with a grey repaint of ROTF Voyager Megatron. It's not likely, but it would be nice.

Does it? One deluxe is 12. Three are in this pack. 12x3=36. It is a little overcharge, but I wouldn't in my wildest dreams call it mind-blowing.

Also, TRU ALWAYS charges a couple dollars extra for exclusives, so this shouldn't blow any minds. In fact, since TRU's exclusive Deluxe figures are usually $14.99, you could look at this as getting $45 worth of figures for $40. DID I JUST BLOW YOUR MIND?

My GUESSES: Since we've got like 3 weird colored DOTM Voyager shockwave running around on the internet. I can only assume shockwave will be in that voyager/deluxe TRU pack.

I like the grey colored WFC megatron & might get the trio TRU gift set just for megatron.

TRU for the past few years have been over charging on their TF store exclusives singular & gift packs. HONESTLY $40 isn't a bad price considering the average TF Deluxe cost $12. that's only a $4 mark up for 3 deluxes. I've seen TRU do far higher/worse for their TF Store exclusives.

SADLY,If anyone remembers,the days of TRU stores doing beyond low prices on their TF store exclusives is beyond over. I remember the Energon toy line TRU gift set of ultra sized megatron & deluxe optimus being sold for only $19.99. TRU had a store exclusive where they bundled a energon leader sized optimus prime & energon leader sized galvaron using weird package tape to seal them together then only charging $39.99 for both figures.

Isn't that a Costco exclusive?

In this day and age where everything is leaked on the internet, is it possible that TRU has a surprise up its sleeve that we haven't seen yet?

I seen 3 DOTM Shockwave recolors on the TF internet sites/messages boards & on the secondary market.

I saw a green army deco shockwave. a almost all grey shockwave. a different shade colored purple shockwave.

so their's probably plenty of dotm shockwaves to go around to various stores as either singular or gift set multi packs.

It is. Another case of looking at pretty pictures and ignoring ugly text. >:oP

No, just another case of my memory being non existent...

well, if were all in agreement that it's a shocky repaint, who's the deluxe? Any exclusive or special re-painted Deluxes that havn't been site confirmed yet?

by **NTESHFT** » Sun Sep 18, 2011 10:07 am

Went to my local TRU yesterday and there wasn't even a spot made for them. Has anyone seen these guys on the shelves yet?

Just because we think it's another Shockwave repaint doesn't mean it will be. As for the deluxe, scratch Optimus Prime as that mold is for Walmart

*gasp* I know: Bumblebee!

you know...the sad part is, for once, I didn't even think about him..
Bumblebee vs Shockwave...when did that happen? Oh right, It didn't. Here's to hoping it's NOT bumblebee, and maybe a repaint of someone ELSE like, IDK, Crankcase or Barricade! Come on people! #-o

Barricade is plausible, since he was at the execution scene with Shockwave.
