Good news for MEXICAN Tfans in Mexico City: Tonight i went out earlier from my job and decide to make a quick visit to a SANBORN's store near my home and found out this, taking pictures at my own risk:

[attachment=39398:Image014.jpg][attachment=39397:Image013.jpg]

the full line-up that was on display were:

ROTF Basics wave1 DEADEND and the 3 others
ROTF Voyager wave STARSCREAM, DEMOLISHER, OPTIMUS PRIME and IRONHIDE
ROTF Deluxe wave SIDESWIPE, RAMPAGE, BREAKAWAY
ROTF Leader wave OPTIMUS PRIME, MEGATRON

ROTF Gravitybots Bumblebee
ROTF FAB Optimus Prime, Bumblebee and Jolt

ROTF Bumblebee Voice helmet
ROTF Bumblebee arm-cannon

Sorry no more pictures "allowed", anyway.

The bad news are that THEY are TOO EXPENSIVE!
the Voyagers are priced at MX$600.00; aprox. US$45.00
the basics are at MX$205.00; aprox. US$16.00

Happy Hunting amigos mios!

For anybody who is interested. I spotted ROTF figures in Sanborns. They had a bunch of Legends Figures, Deluxes. Including Ramapage and Sideswipe and Dead End. Some Fast Action Battlers and impressively enough Leader figures: Optimus Prime and Megatron.

Pretty much well stocked.

Yes Sanborns tends to hike up the prices ever so impressively. So a deluxe was going for 330 pesos which roughly translates to 24 bucks.

Hopefully this means other stores like Walmart will also have them now and at somewhat lower prices.

Hey, I found Devastator yesterday at Liverpool, Dinobot (and hopefully the rest of Universe wave 5 and 6) and Universe legends wave 5! Bumblebee, Brawn, Beachcomber and Animated Starscream, thats amazing! Also, last week I found Scalpel, Reverb and Dune Runner, Leader Jetfire and even more Leader Optimus Prime and Movie Legens Wave 3 (Grindor, Fallen and Enforcer Ironhide) at Walmart, they may arrive at Chedraui and HEB, so, let the hunt begin!

P.D.= Has anyone found Robot Heroes Transmetal Megatron vs Silverbolt and Blaster vs Thrust? I have been having a hard time looking for those two. (And yes, they were released here, I got Arcee vs Rumble and Ironhide vs Kickback at Coppel).

Thanks to a pair of sources, both the El Botcast Reloaded Facebook page and Seibertronian Maverick Prime, we have news that several new figures have hit Mexico.

Up first is the news from Maverick Prime, who found the Wave 1 Power of the Primes deluxes and voyagers, as well as the wave 2 legends figures. These figures were found for a very high price though, as Meverick points out in his post, quoted below:

MaverickPrime wrote:PotP is finally at Mexican retail, they arrived at the Juguetrón chain, curiously, what arrived was Legends Wave TWO, mosrt likely wave 1 got skipped also, sadly, at insane prices, 29 for deluxes, 45 for voyagers and 14,75 for legends.
I pray that's just because that's an expensive chain and supermarket ones like Walmart or Chedraui will have them for less, I can't keep up collecting with those prices.

The 2nd piece of sightings news, thanks to El Botcast, is that the Wave 1 Studio Series Leaders have been sighted in Mexico as well. As both of these figures are highly anticipated, those in Mexico should be excited that these have been found, and hopefully those seeking Blackout and Grimlock can find him.

Check out the images below, and let us know what you think of these new sightings!

Wow, sales must be pretty bad there if Combiner Wars Magnus is still on shelves, much less Wave 1 of POTP... Pfff, who'd buy a deluxe for 29$ anyway?

There has been no mention of a release without it, so yes it can be assumed to be one

It seems like the Bumblebee movie toyline is being released near simultaneously across North America (and the world, it seems). Fellow Seibertronian MaverickPrime has sent us images showing us images of the Transformers section at a local Supermarket chain. Among all the new releases is the very first global sighting of the Cyberverse wave 2 warriors which includes Windblade, Megatron and Acid Storm.

I stopped by my local Chedraui(Supermarket chain) and they were just filling the shelves with A LOT of Transformers stuff, basically everything from Bumblebee wave 1, even role play stuff, everything from Cyberverse wave 1 AND warriors wave 2, as well as Might Muggs, transformable keychain plushes and even tiny changers series 3.

Nice to see the toys are starting come out for those who wish to pick these up. Easy pass for me. I simply can't get into the designs that they have come up with. Tonnes of other options out there in the end which is what is great about Transfofmers eh? :DINO:

It's a win some-lose some scenario, we never got PotP at regular retail, only some department stores carried that line, and at a much more expensive price, with deluxes at almost 30 bucks, voyagers at nearly 45 and leaders at 70

In a world where America is no longer number 1. Which is the case now. Also, you consider the cyberverse figures "better"?

Fellow Seibertronian MaverickPrime, the one who keeps an eye out for any Transformers news coming from Mexico, has found loads of new Transformers toys. As with the US, the latest Studio Series voyagers Optimus Prime and Rampage were found but he also found the second wave of Siege Battle Masters, Aimless and Pteraxadon. This is the first sighting of these toys in North America. He gives us a breakdown of all his sightings including the price jump for Siege Leaders, which used to be $65 USD in the POTP line and have now increased to $75 USD in select stores.

Also, for Pteraxadon, MaverickPrime has given us some in hand shots of the toy including action poses.

With Mexican Kids' Day getting closer, Hasbro has begun giving us several new toys at retail, in Walmart, Warrior Class Hot Rod, Prowl and Soundwave, as well as Legends Class Shadow Striker, Ratchet, Starscream and the second Optimus Prime(Ion Attack or something similar).
Meanwhile, Liverpool Department Stores got Cyberverse One-Step Wheeljack, which as far as I remember hadn't been mentioned anywhere, as well as Studio Series Rampage(Optimus most likely was there, but I couldn't find him), skipping all the way from ROTF Starscream to number 37!
Finally, Liverpool also got Leader Class Shockwave and Ultra Magnus, at a wooping $1340 MXN (around 75 US dollars!)
But the biggest surprise, was the finding of Battlemasters WAVE 2! I found Aimless and Pteraxadon!
