It really isn't. Aside from the Wave 1 Prime Masters I've only gotten Beachcomber, Skrapnel, Swoop and Slag, and I only got the last two because I managed to hit up a Big W (the closest of which is an hour away) when they were on special.

But with crazy prices like that, I am assuming they persist because enough people purchase them? So prents can afford expensive toys like this for their kids? I remember once in Canada walmart added 5$ to voyagers. No one bought there and they dropped the 5 dollar increase to match what TRU was charging.

Wait a minute. You mean to say a TRU was charging a lower regular price than a Walmart?![]()

Now if only the US TRU had done that... that price drop for deluxes alone would have made them equal Walmart and Targetwilliam-james88 wrote:Burn wrote:william-james88 wrote:eeesh, that is just not affordable (to me at least)

Megatronus was my partner-in-crime that day for Seibertron.com.![]()
I still think that there's another wave or something coming down the pipes, unless they're going to release the War for Cybertron figures earlier than they normally do.
I've been bummed out by so many products in the Power of the Primes line that I can't wait to move on to the next line, which is such a change from the previous 2 lines where I was really amazed with most of Combiner Wars and most (in italics) of Titans Return (which had a few notable disappointments like Galvatron where the Headmaster gimmick ruined the head of the toy, as well as Soundwave's head which just turned out extremely goofy looking). I really hope Hasbro has some amazing things lined up for us going forward to help ease my many frustrations with the Power of the Primes line.

No. There wont be a break. Generations will still come out every three months or so as it always has in the past 4 years.
Cyberverse will be just another line like RID was.
Yeah I agree. Among all the Generations combiner toys I'd say Abominus is not only the best looking but also the most stable, in large part because Sinnertwin and Cutthroat's Prime Armors can attach to Hun-Gurrr's accessories (the front of the gestalt's feet). His hands and feet don't easily fall off and Hun-Gurrr's transformation into the torso is ingenious, like we've never seen before. I'm also glad that the decals on Hun-Gurrr which a lot of us had been dreading beforehand turned out to be well executed, having a reflectorized glow which might not have been achieved with tampographs. Wherefore, in my opinion, this is a Generations gestalt that does not need any third-party upgrades. I even came to appreciate the white helmet that's not cartoon-accurate as it serves as a contrast to Computron's brown head when they're facing each other upclose.Black Hat wrote:Damn, Abominus looks awesome! I definitely need him. He looks like he fits really well with Computron too!

Exactly! Some fans seem to have the memory of a goldfish sometimes. I swear this comes up every year. We had that last year too with people not believing that Titans Return would end so early with only 1 deluxe in the final wave. But it did, and then we got POTP. Same thing will happen again.
