Considering Walmart in the U.S. has reduced Leaders to just under $40.00 I totally would..

Thanks for all the answers guys! (though Dalton, you dont feel too bummed about Sixshot to buy another leader figure full price?)

If $40 is the new normal that Walmart charges for TR Leaders, how is that not Full Price?...you related your story specifically to on site at B&M, and even more specifically Walmart... considering there are possibly only 3 B&M places that will ever have this in the U.S. I chose the one you specified... If you ask me will I pay Full Price ($45) at Target or ($46) at TRU...I may have to think it over...
ME!william-james88 wrote:While the US is finally able to get Sixshot (albeit online), that leader has been out in Canada for a while and with wave 4 of Titans Return creeping up everywhere it was only a matter of time before we got our first sighing of the Leader figure for that wave. Sky Shadow was found at an Ontario Walmart according to a tweet from Ryan Sheehey.
What is odd about all this is that while he appears at a Canadian Walmart before the US even sees Sixshot at retail, Sixshot has yet to appear at Canadian Toysrus stores. So far, in North America, only Walmart Canada has recieved either Sixshot or Sky Shadow at brick and mortar. So, how many of you would actually buy this toy on site full price if you saw it in Walmart today?

Well there's Windblade (Out of possibly the Highbrow mold), and Misfire.

I think they mean outside of rumour lists. Which we always have.

Yeah, but those are apparently retools, so we at least know kinda how they'd look.
I really hope they show Slugslinger. He would be a nice surprise.

Fair, fair.
Honestly, I'm kind of expecting them to show off the rest of the line. We only have two waves left, they probably couldn't hope to top Trypticon at another TR reveal, and there's a new movie coming up so they might want to get everything else out of the way quickly to build up hype for that.
Anyone know when CW Wave 6 and CW's boxsets were revealed, for comparison?

There us a good question to be asked here, has there been any titans return reveal that we didn't know of in advance so far?
Overlord's silhouette might be the only one.

That would be a perfect use of the Titan Master gimmick... but unfortunately the current design team seems a bit too bogged down in Absolute-G1-accuracy-to-the-max-and-maybe-sometimes-we-throw-a-bone-to-IDW-and-Armada...

The last time they threw a bone to Armada, IIRC, was Thrilling 30 Starscream, and even that can pass for the G1 guy (and IDW even used it as him for a while). And that was because it was an anniversary line so they had to throw in a few random non-G1 figures to pretend they cared about the non-G1 "filler" lines. Even RiD is moving towards "all G1, all the time" now. At this rate, in a few years, there's gonna be a little boy in some toy toy store somewhere holding up a Rescue Bot going "Daddy, why does Chase's box say 'Prowl' on it?"
