I live in a top 20 populated area in the United States, and only saw a couple quite accidentally. For the most part CW box sets were not available in stores in the U.S., only in Canada, and other countries. Here you had to pretty much purchase them online. If you search back through this thread you will see the occasional sighting in a store, but those were probably mostly errors, or "Market 6" findings (TJ Maxx, Ross, Marshalls etc.. and now I guess we can add Burlington to that list as well) .

Worst case scenario is that you will have to import him from the either the chosen prime or somewhere else (BBTS maybe). he will only be 11 pounds, so while you might cut a loss for shipping, at least you wont be taxed when it arrives due to its low declared value. Your defensor will be complete, you'll just have to pay the shipping for a groove sold elsewhere. And thats IF Kapow doesnt restock when groove actually gets released.

I don't know if a scalper picked them up, but they were all gone last I checked. I figured even at $10 a pop, after shipping etc... the profit from selling them on eBay, if any wouldn't have really been worth it.

it really wouldnt, I doubt be could sell them for less than 17$ shipped.
And Insurgent, I am glad you commented since this was mainly in response to our discussion 8 months ago. But yeah another consolation is not just the hunt but the fact that none of us could predict he would be readily available 5 months after the facts back when he was rarer than a chicken with teeth in may.

some were going for $30 even in september when he was released

Insurgent wrote:Slingshot and Wildrider never appeared after like this, did they? Sometimes patience pays off. Sometimes it's less about owning it and more about finding it. You have a better memory than me as I can't remember our discussion 8 months ago. Main reason I commented is because it feels lately that the focus of these threads (and news) is about finding them for the cheapest possible option and less about actually owning it. I understand budgets and people want the best value, heck even I do, but past few months it just seems like the cheapest thing is the only motiviation. So I wanted to throw in my opinion and have a little nudge about other reasons.
I have a feeling that's what our discussion was about 8 months ago. Haha.

Were in retrospect Alpha Bravo, Off Road and Rook a good idea or not ?

Yes.

Definitely!
In a perfect world yes, new characters are fun. In the world of collectors, not so much the way they handled it.RAR wrote:So since it was mentioned in the Trypticon thread I'll bring it up here as a more appropriate place.

Could the idea have worked better if handled differently and should they have not chickened out doing the same thing with Bruticus or Computron too ?
I enjoy the fiction they wrote to support the new guys. Rook was tragically neglected and underdeveloped though.D-Maximus_Prime wrote:Rook was a brilliant idea. The combined mode looked so cool and the figures really worked out. If he would only get more personality and comic appearances, then I would be perfectly happy.
Alpha Bravo and Offroad were not bad at all. I actually like the fact that Superion didn't end up with 2 of the same jet for me considering both Liokaiser and Victorion use twin modes, plus it would've felt a bit boring. Same with Menasor. I like a combiner to have some different molds in the game.
I do too, and he's my favorite combiner! Combiner Wars did him so much justice. And what's even funnier is that, in my opinion, Hasbro blew Takara out of the water with Defensor. When you could use Hasbro Groove as a limb, that ended it all. You could have him G1 or CW and he still looked amazing. I never looked for CW deluxe Groove cause I love the legends dude and the chest armor looks so good to me, and Rook is an amazing armSigma Magnus wrote:I love the new limb guys, I just wish it was executed a bit better, so that the original fifth members weren't so hard to find. And to be honest...I like CW Defensor better than G1 Defensor.
