Hope you're ready to wait a long long long long LOOOOONG time. Anything that's exclusive to TRU hardly ever finds itself on clearance. Hell, that's why Universe Darkwind has been shelf warming at my TRU for nearly 2 years now, probably even more.

This.

There had been two Darkwings sitting on the shelf in my location for about the same amount of time. They finally were bought. I kept waiting for them to go on clearance to get one. Never did. Now I'm kicking myself. They still have ROTF Scorpinocks and Ravages warming the shelves. No clearance on them at all.......

I believe it's $39.99.

Wait, what? So it's actually more expensive than buying the three separately? How does that make sense?

No, it isn't. TRU Generations deluxe figures are $12.99. This pack costs out to be the same as buying the figures separately.

It is very overpriced but i do like the recolor .My Bumblebee is very loose and falls all the time cause of it ,so i hope this one is at least tighter . The Megatron is the selling point of the set .I love the Prime but i am a little bias .

Generations Deluxes are $13.99 at my area TRUs, so, ostensibly, it's kind of a "deal"...

All aside, I do plan on grabbing this set. The Prime mold is tops, very intricate and solid for a Deluxe, fun to transform. Megatron has an impressive 'bot mode and is another fun configuration. BB's rhomboid angles are a bit of a turn-off, an average figure at best, annoying to align for a tight alt-mode.

It would be nice to perhaps see a Cybertron Soundblaster/authentic Galvatron set. Hear me, TRU?

If I don't buy the figures when I see them I'll never be able to find them otherwise.

The figures I buy eventually get released in a multi-pack in colors I like better.

sums it up nicely

TRU doesn't clearance b/c they solely sell toys and don't need to clear space/share space in back stockroom for other product. They have the luxury or whatever you wanna call it of letting figs/boxes rot on the shelves like the Grail room in Indiana Jones 3. That and Geoffrey's a cheap bastard.

And they'll probably still have those ROTF figures sitting there at "regular" prices for awhile. Last Christmas I would search both of my local TRUs and was looking for the latest Generations and Hunt for Decepticon figures, and there were multiple sealed TF boxes on the tops of the shelves (overstock). Upon further inspection, it was ROTF cases, which had to have been over a year old!

The cool thing about this is, for SOME collectors (especially the new ones), it makes it a little easier to find these older figures which normally you would have to e-Bay. I must've gotten at least 1/3 of my Animated collection this way, and paid 1/2 price for leaders!

Want a set if anyone has one PM. Thanks.
