Not a very pleasant price isn't it? Retail price here for voyagers is $24.99, so no thank you, especially when you consider their shipping rates

Yikes! I didn't even notice that. Scattershot is only $22.00 though. I guess if you get both of them for $49, it comes to $25 a figure which is alright for anyone who wants both but sucks for those who just want Onslaught.

I go back and forth on trying to find them in stores vs just biting the bullet and paying extra to get them all at once like this. My local stores still haven't gotten the Masquerade wave in. It took forever for Ultra Magnus to show up.

First legends wave I've wanted all of.

For a proper Bruticus, I'm going to wait for Takara's since they've been knocking the4m out of the park.

I was thinking of doing the same thing battle core optimus with rook and alpha vravo and demolisher with off road and blast off because I think takara will make a shuttle figure.

Who else are you using in your outcast combiner? I'm interested to know.

I believe he was using either Cyclonus or Optimus as a torso with Rook, AB, Offroad and hasbro Blastoff. plus, the Demolisher was only a prototype shot, it isn't set as an actual release

I see yes. I wanted to make an all new autobot and con combiner myself provided demolisher does see release. It'd be cool if somebody came out with a set of heads to swap with hasbros deluxes to make all new characters.

Same here, still have a few MISB Legends figures from earlier waves I'm not sure to do with yet, but this one they're all getting opened.

Went with HLJ since it's the lowest price and I can cancel any time. With March being an expensive month already (thanks to Shockwave) I may have to give it up.

Love the look of this figure, and have wanted a Deadlock figure for a while, but I hate the price tag. Too rich for my blood.

I am with the others. Beautiful, but not for 70.

HLJ's price is $47.13.

If it's like Driftpool from FunPub the swords won't be able to fit in the holsters.

This time it looks to be the Blurr version of the mold with Drift's head and spoiler, meaning it's meant to have the guns instead of the swords, but also includes the big sword as the bonus.

MP-30 Ratchet is up for pre-order at amiami.com for %30 off MSRP at 7500 Yen. That's $60.88 US and oddly enough 10 Yen more than they have Ironhide listed for.

If you guys are looking for instock notification emails for Toys R Us, Hasbro Toy Shop, Target, or Walmart, I put together a service for doing that:

http://www.toystoreupdates.com

Every 15 minutes it looks over the online stores for status changes and sends out emails for whichever toy line you're looking for. So it works with not just Transformers, but anything else too. Feedback appreciated!

I signed up and will likely have some more feedback once I've seen a thing or two that it can do. Cool idea. What kind of feedback are you most interested in - other retailers to monitor or performance/usefulness of the service?

Thanks! Feedback on performance/usefulness would be great, but if you have ideas for other stores to add, that would be great too.

So I just got the first few emails from this service and I really like it. I'm following star wars and transformers and it's really thorough. If you're looking for retailer suggestions then I'd say Kmart. It might sound stupid but they tend to list things early like Skywarp http://m.kmart.com/transformers-generat ... 324119010P and they're at much lower prices than other retailers.

Thanks for the suggestion! I will look into adding Kmart to the system.

The pre orders for MP Ramjet went up on TFSource for $180

http://tfsource.com/masterpiece/mp-11nr-ramjet/

Seems kinda pricey to me.

It is pricey since his real price in japan is 130$US, but its better than the 200$ the other seekers cost.

Is this a new mold, a re-release or a heavy retool. Also, are they cheating on the cone head?
