I stand corrected, the sale price is still on at Target, but no CW figs in sight. Did finally pick up Tankor at that price along with Skrapnel and Reflector.

So I guess Hasbro had a change of heart and won't be doing comic packs just for North America after all. Bummer, not a fan at all of the international packaging.

Just a correction about that statement, the comics are not made for north america outright while the packages without the comics are for international audiences. The comic packages thus far have been the default while the ones without them are for places that have language laws saying that there must be a translation for the material on the language of the region. Now obviously, the main language of the USA and several places in Canada is English, so the packages come with the comics. However, the main language of Quebec in Canada is French, and thus the comic cannot be included in the packages sold in the province. In reverse scenario, some countries outside of North America don't mind English as the main language found in the product. Hong Kong, for instance, has the packages that come with the comics.

Thanks to TWO submissions, we've been alerted to Combiner Wars Wave 1 Voyagers and Deluxes (!) being in stock and shipped from Amazon themselves. One slight wrinkle, one possibly big wrinkle: Slight is an extra 1-2 days to process on the limb bots themselves, while the big one is that they're now priced the highest on the market right now at $18.99 per limb!

If you want them, you better act fast before Amazon sells out, even at those prices.

Alpha Bravo

Dragstrip

Firefly

Optimus Prime

Silverbolt

Skydive



While these have not hit saturation, yet, they will if you're patient. If you want 'em now and you're willing to pay a premium to obtain them, Amazon will be your best bet right now. Not to mention, with distribution issues in certain parts of the country/world, gas spent, and time most likely wasted, this is actually more economical in the long run. All of the figures are Prime eligible and after $35.00 their shipping is free.

Keep your optics tuned to Seibertron.com for the latest in news and updates, plus the best galleries around!

I'll play the waiting game. I'm still waiting on Roadbuster and Skybyte... Hopefully we'll still see some 2014 releases on shelves once Combiner Wars breaks loose.

[Tranzilla]

More luck in Maryland. Found an unopened (albeit trashed) box at the Westminster Target store. Figures are the same code as previous Generations deluxe toys and are currently ringing up at the $11.99 sale price until 1/17/2015 according to the sale tag on the peg. Normal is $14.99.

Also found that some stores are doing their resets and the RID toys are hitting the pegs. Warrior at $14.99 and the small Legends size at $5.99, so far. Picked up Grimmy.

They've also hit the Amazon UK site with Deluxes and Voyagers going for £15.99 and £22.99 respectively.

Awesome. I can cancel my BBTS preorder and nab Prime now.

[GuyIncognito]

That's like $100 for a full Combiner. Forget that.

If they had stuck with the current MSRP, which I believe is...$14.99? It would've been slightly more affordable.

Voyagers still show in most stores at around the $25.00 mark, which with tax brings it to about $26.50 or so, out the door, no shipping required.
If the limbs would stick to the $14.99 price point, (with tax, that's $15.88 or so where I live) that would bring the grand total to $90.06, which isn't much cheaper than what Amazon is asking, but it's enough to throw about 2-3 gallons of gas in your car and still come home with the full set of Aerialbots or the full set of Ultra Prime, etc.

Amazon's known for dropping prices when you least expect it, they might compete with Target which is currently selling these for $11.99 each until the 17th, I believe.

Yo dawg, we heard you like to use Prime to buy Prime, so we shipped your Prime using Prime, mo'f*cka!

Aw man, I took the plunge with prime not to long ago, can't beat free 2 day shipping.

I like to work the 30 day free trial, but I'm considering taking the plunge as well.
SW's SH, do you know if their music library is downloadable, or only accessible?

Good job on the podcast BTW.

I made reference to it a post ago, but...
Amazon Prime gives you a 30 day free trial. You get access to a bunch of features, but most important, you get FREE 2 DAY SHIPPING on most purchases. Primarily on Amazon stock.

The trick is remembering to cancel it or you get charged $100.

It's both, but its optimized mostly for mobile, so if you have a smart phone or tablet, your going to have a good time. If you shop and order from amazon allot, the 100 dollars is worth it, seeing as it's the charge of once a year.

I can tell you from experience that Amazon Prime is so worth it. I have made 54 orders this year with them. If you average out $6-$7 shipping per order (I'm taking the high end)...that's $399.00 in shipping charges shaved. Plus if you live in a state that Amazon doesn't collect tax from it's a no brainer . I'll pay the $100 annual fee...I get more out of Amazon than I do my Costco card...how many people reading this have Costco or SAMs memberships? I've purchased a computer, a 30 gallon trashcan, several Transformers, Blu Rays, you name it...all arrived in a timely manner and I could track it all the way. I have saved so much in shipping and sales tax.

Thank you much!
I'm now all for it. At $100 per year, it's cheaper than Netflix, and you get so much more.

In Massachusetts, the South Shore mall Target had all the Superion limbs were available for 11.99. Only missing Silverbolt and the other Voyagers. Waiting for Wave 2 with Air Raid so my Superion will pure Aerialbots, not with a random Decepticon forced into a power link.

[Klunk]

I just found all four deluxe figures at Target here in Richmond, VA for $11.99 each. No voyager figures though.
