How long before HasbroToyShop realizes the Aerialbots aren't part of Menasor.

Man, Hasbro's site is all jacked up this morning. Took me about 5 tries got to get the neon big guy ordered. Use code SPRING16 to save an extra 15%. This put me at just over $90 with tax.

I just put my Video review up for this set.
Just making sure you know what you are getting.

Dun, dun, dun...I didn't have the money available to buy it last night, but I reported it, now it's gone.

Dont worry guys, it will come back and be available everywhere. This just means we all have a bit extra time to save up for when he comes in stock elswhere.

Whew! (I hope) I either just got my order in before they ran out, or I'll be getting a cancellation notice pretty soon. I did get my confirmation email, but not a shipping confirmation yet. Keeping my fingers crossed.

I hope it does come back for all of you soon, 15% off with code SPRING16 is so nice for this.

No worries, I just thought it was odd... There are some sellers on eBay actually selling this for about the same price. I got one for $104 (shipping included). But yeah G2 Superion is still in stock at TRU, Hasbro Toy shop etc... I just think sometimes, Decepticon characters seem to have lower production quantity than Autobot ones, so some of us are a little gun shy and want to get it ASAP.

Funny how this goes all the way back top the original Transformers. I remember in 1985/86 seeing the Superion gift set numerous times, but I never saw the Menasor one in a store. Saw plenty of the individual toys everywhere, but no Stuntacon Giftset/ Come to think of it...I think Superion was the ONLY gift set I ever saw on in store (never saw Defensor, Computron, or Piranacon)

*(In the United States, Gift sets of Bruticus, Predaking, and Abominus were never released as they were in Japan & Europe)

Oddly enough, my parents must have found it somewhere because I got it for Christmas. I think I even basically plagiarized the entire back of the box for a "What did you get for Christmas" writing assignment once winter break ended.

Menasor, Sideswipe and Skywarp were and still are my favorites from childhood, so I basically look out for any incarnation of them.

I almost pulled the trigger on one on Amazon for about $105 just 2 days ago. So glad I waited for HTS and they had a code. Can't wait to get the neon badass.

For sure. I know the gist sets were out there. I have seen dozens of them on eBay over the years, and a conventions (originals, not knockoffs or reproductions). I'm just saying the Stuntacon one probably had a much lower production run than the Aerialbot one... for whatever reason.

Still a cool story though. I remember getting Omega Supreme in 85, and Fort Max in 87. Good times.

Wow, they didn't fix the issue with Motormaster's hips like BC OP for this release? And it seems that all the tolerances got even worse from the regular release that I have.

Just checked HTS. As of when I looked, the Menasor set had vanished from HTS. Props to those who acted quickly and got theirs....

It was funny to read how they took the bios from Superion and just plugged Menasor's name in his place. Who knew that Menasor would 'fight the Decepticons with all out force in the land and in the air'? And that Silverbolt, et. al., are the figures included?

Yeah, I noticed the hatchet job on the Listing description too, pretty funny. I'm wondering if they actually ran out of stock, or if they didn't mean to release the Listing until the 15% off code expired.

I want to say that's possible - but HTS throws out those promo codes so often, they'd be hard pressed for people to NOT be able to take advantage of it.

Still, who's complaining?

hey thanks for the coupon code i used it to buy the four Sky Reign limbs for 57.77 with free shipping
if i had bought them at the local toys r us it would have been like 80 and BBTS slighty less by about 6 bucks

HTS updated again! G2 Menasor may not be back yet, but they did post the wave 6 deluxes - Hound, Smokescreen, Wheeljack and Trailbreaker. Could Sky Lynx be far behind? Oh yeah, and they posted Scattershot too I guess...

Nice, Glad I could help. I really lucked out, I wasn't sure if the brief availability of G2 Menasor was actual stock or an error and was waiting to either get a ship confirmation or cancellation notice. Got the ship notification last night and FedEx already has delivery scheduled for tomorrow end of day. Whoo-hoo! Now I just have to find a 90's inspired neon shirt to wear when I open it up.

For those ordering from Hasbro Toy Shop in the near future, there's some codes you can take advantage of.
First off, SPRING16 gets you 15% off of your order. It expires on the 16th of March.
The better code is SPRINGFF, which is 20% off AND free shipping through March 31st. I don't know why there's an overlap, but there might be some stuff that SPRINGFF doesn't cover which SPRING16 does. They have all the Combiner Wars Deluxes from wave 3 forward in stock except for Rook, but including repacks in those waves like Dead End and Air Raid. The wave 3 figures are $15 each, everybody else is $17.
Voyager figures they have are Silverbolt, Motormaster, Cyclonus, Battle Core Prime, and Scattershot for $25.
Leaders are G1 and Armada Megatrons, Ultra Magnus, Thundercracker, Starscream, and Skywarp (twice) for $45.
Legends in stock are Thundercracker, Bombshell, Huffer, Windcharger, Blackjack, Groove, and Warpath for $10 each.

While Hasbro Toy Shop had Transformers Combiner Wars G2 Menasor up first, the listing was soon removed. However, the toy's release date has come and this toy is now widely available for $99.99 in the US. For now, you can get him from BBTS or TFSource and other retailers like Walmart and Toysrus are sure to follow.

I note that on HTS, they still haven't fixed Menasor's bio. He still 'attacks Decepticons on the ground and in the air with all-out force', and the set still includes Silverbolt, Air Raid, etc. And they're still using that horribly mis-transformed photo of Menasor with his triple-jointed legs and missing horn....

Ah well - a deal is a deal

I remember that day...

FYI G2 Menasor is back up at HTS and there is a 20% / Free shipping code: SPRINGFF

G2 Menasor has also shown up on toysrus.com for the actual MSRP of $99.99.

Also,
At toysrus.com Year of the Goat Platinum Edition Optimus Prime has been marked down even further from $149.99 to $79.98!

If I wasn't going to Botcon, that Goat Prime would be in my cart.

The hottest releases from Takara are now available on Japanese online stores if anyone wants the lowest prices (total cost changes depending on where you live).
