Sorry I just copied and paste but no picture. Just go look up Victorian on Amazon

Damn, cannot believe I missed out on these, but, I'm almost glad I did, as I really didn't need all these repaints, and $30 each likely would have been too much for me to pass on. I almost lamented victorion an G2 bruticus not being $30, but then realized that, even if they were, the legs on pyra/'slaught would be miss-assembled anyways, so, it wouldn't have been worth it either way.

I did almost buy them last night. I saw it when Vangelus tweeted it (right at the top of my twitter, right before I would have slept) and immediately looked at all the deals. I really didn't need to spend the money plus I have my good Superion and Menasor, so I didn't bite.

Now if Computron comes in stock like that sometime later, I will leap.

And you Americans say you never get good deals

Comps is in stock at hts, he seems relatively more popular than the g2 sets, so I don't think he'll make it to 70% off, but man, if he did

Yeah, but I can still hope. I'd like to get both sets, but preferably not at full price for CW.

also gotta think about Liokaiser coming up, so money!

We really don't overall, I've never seen a fire sale like this before in my life, they must really have had a large amount of stock left that had been shelf-warming to do this...

Here is one from a year ago, you were with us then, right?

Plus you can even get your exclusives platinums at low prices thanks to amazon and other outlets (like the triple changer set for 10$, thats insane). Dont know if anyone cares about this set but it sure as hell never came to my stores:

Make no mistake, the US still remains the best place in the world to be a Hasbro tf collector.

Yeah, but, I think I was saving for CW combiners at that point

The point is, these fire sales happen in the US. Its not a once in a lifetime thing. You can get amazing deals in the US with a little patience thanks to all the outlets you guys have. I have to make the most with TRU and Walmart.

Yeah, ebay stores and amazon are pretty great if you can wait out their shelf life. Honestly, I'd rather have your tru selection+sales+raincheck policies though (Actually, I'd rather just have a ton of money so I could just buy all this stuff)

The grass is always greener on the other side my friend But I simply suggest we make the best of what we have. As you can see, I sure do

Yeah you do

That's a major drop for the G2 combiner sets. Kudos to those who held off from getting them.

Damn, I recently bought both G2 Menasor and Superion back when Target had them for $70 each. At $30 each I would've bought another of each to use in some customs I had planned already but I was too late to the game. Oh well, I'll just keep waiting to pick up the ones I want for customs for a while.

However, I did receive an email from Amazon about Platinum Optimus Primal for $33.89 if anyone was interested. By the time I found another figure to buy to be eligible for free shipping and pay, the price had lowered to $32.77. It's now at $32.65 so it might keep going down in price. I really didn't have an interest in the figure but at that price it was difficult to pass up. Especially since I passed on the original version the one and only time I seen it in a store and regretted it. I really don't know what I was thinking back then with what I was and wasn't buying.

Thanks for pointing that out. I've had $20 in Amazon gift cards on my account from Bing that I've been looking for a use for. I thought about getting the set when it was $72, but $50 brings my cost down to $30 so I no longer care about missing the HTS sale.

She also seems to be dropping in price slowly today like Platinum Optimus Primal. She was $50.88 earlier, $50.20 when I bought it, and now at $49.87.

Thanks for the Vicki tip. That sale and my accrued amazon points made it a no brainer. Mostly got it for the sword, but extra bots can never hurt I suppose.

So, uh. Did anyone happen to snag a second Superion that they may want to resell at around $50-60?

Dang. I can't get too upset at paying full price for G2 Superion. I bought it when it was released, it was just a must have. I passed on G2 Menasor because I really can't stand the hips of him when combined. But for $30 I would have grabbed him for sure just to have those awesome 90s colors. Oh well, I spend too much on toys anyway.

I never ordered from them before so maybe this is normal, I ordered the sets yesterday and I received them this morning. I'm still waiting for the order confirmation email.

HTS? I've had things shipped and received within 30 hours of ordering. They can be really fast

Victorion's current price is $46.86.

Just out of curiosity, is anyone else still waiting on their CW Groove from ScrambleCore? I pre-ordered there since everyone else was sold out in May. But I still haven't received my toy yet.

I feel like I'm getting the run around with them. Has anyone had good experiences with ScrambleCore in general?
