Hello,

I wanted to let everyone know that I found the TRU Exclusive Back Road Brawl Set with G1 homage Hoist and Mixmaster. The set is priced at $34.99 I found the set in Bloomington, Illinois on 09/18/09. The set had just hit the shelf and apparently comes in a box of 4. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw it. The paint apps on Mixmaster are not spectacular, but Hoist looks really good! There are 3 left as I couldn't afford to buy two sets. Happy Hunting! Please see photos for proof of purchase.

Nice, hopefully this hits the Western states soon too. Just a heads up, your Visa card's last 4 digits is still showing in that 2nd pic.

Still on the fence. Mixmaster looks great, but I don't really want/need Hoist.

I'm glad you posted. We now have the actual UPC:

653569450498

I'll be checking with my local TRU with this.

Back Road Brawl > Masters of Metallikato.

Agreed. Hasbro would have probably made a killing if they made Hoist a general release.

I don't get why they make these box sets. If they were cheaper than buying the same figures separately I'd understand, but it's about the same price as a deluxe and voyager together. I would consider getting the Mixmaster, but not when I have to pay for another figure I don't want.

You can share the costs with someone that only wanted Hoist I guess.
