Well time to catch up on all the missing guys I don't own yet.

[william-james88]

Hey guys, long time no post. Just a heads up we got Victorion in at my work today at a price of $149.99. Not 100% if she street dated since we had a similar SNAFU with G2 Menasor

Pics will follow eventually(posting from my phone)

SHe is street date, she is currently being sold online, so its all good

I should get a raincheck for Onslaught.

You cant, its not in the flyer, you can only raincheck weekly specials. This isnt a discount but a new price.

Is ok, I still have my rainchecks for 22$

But seriously, if they changed all their prices o the computer then he should still be this price when he comes out. He's listed at that price online right now.

Alright thanks for that heads up. Anyways after some digging she's street dated for in store on the 15th, for those like me that didn't know.

Luckily that's a Sunday and I always work those

Sorry I can't post those pics, might be a nono for me

Also came across Onslaught and Scattershot the other week at my store, but there was only one of each, and grabbed Onslaught

thats the prices these crappy figures should have been from the start. its amazing how hasbro cheaps out of the plastic and qc on this line, yet the were costing close to 20 a pop.

[morqubus]

Funny in my area they just raised the price for deluxes to $23 american.

wow really, i feel for u man. These figures are pretty lousy, i dont care for the indvidual modes esp. if u compare them to the generations line u are left to wonder, wtf happened

[Mindmaster]

I betcha it's to make room for Titans Return. If the States follow suit, I might go back and get some I passed on.

it is for room for titans return, but still cw stuff was pretty crappy for the price, esp next to how awesome generations figures are.

Really, compared to these?


Transformers Generations Tankor Gallery


Transformers Generations Nightbeat Gallery


Transformers Generations Scoop Gallery

And these were so freaken tiny, and talk about cheap plastic:


Transformers Fall of Cybertron Shockwave Gallery

I mean look how short they had gotten compared to earlier generations deluxes:



When talking quality and size, CW beats those generations toys out of the water.

[shajaki]

In my opinion, the weakest TF's in the past 4is years were FOC Jazz and Grim. Not that I mind them personally. But aside from the mold abuse in CW, I think its been a friggin solid line.

[DeathReviews]

Hopefully US based TRU stores will follow suit. There's a reason why nobody is buying the deluxes at TRU. It's because they're $18 apiece! See my Death Tweet regarding their overstocking on 'Stomp & Chomp' Grimlocks. They never seem to learn. They stock tons of figures that nobody wants and wind up having to unload them at a loss because they charged too much for them initially and turned them all into shelf warmers.

While figures have def shrunk, and this gen line def was the weakest. They were still better in terms of qc and i personally like them more in respect to cw. Much better bang for your buck.

Now THAT is real shelfwarming. None of that modern "They haven't sold any XYZ since I was here yesterday!" kind of crap I see a lot of people complain about.

[william-james88]

I dont see it, espcially when I think of the hip missassembly for Skids and the terrible heel problem with Windblade.
But what the heck, agree to disagree.

yeah, I totally get that That Bot. It pisses me off too when I see that written especially when its the latest case assortment But this stomp and chomp clearly did not get ordered by the store last week.

While I am here, to my fellow Canadiens, I found Leader Skywarp at TRU.

Well darn, I thought someone would have already beaten me to that, since I found Leader Skywarp last week! Upside to working in the loading bay at a toy store, I get to see them all roll out (no pun intended)

Also, after months of searching, I finally found RID Minicon Ratbat x.x

I am sure I am not the first to have seen it in stores, but I thought it was worth a mention since it was the first time I saw him.

Yeah, probably not. Last week was the first time I saw him too. Before that, nothing but Starscreams for months.

Has anyone seen the Sky Reign limbs lately though? I only saw the one shipment a couple of months ago, haven't seen any since at any stores

[DeathReviews]

Looks like your store has quite a few Menasor box sets.... (90s!)

lol, well we both have any very different experinces with those figures. never had those issue with skids. the heel issue with windblade wasnt as bad on mine, she stands fine. Im hoping titans returns line makes up for any issues i had in the cw line, and issues u had with the gen line lol.

till all are one.
