Last month, we reported the news of upcoming new version of ROTF Leader Class Optimus Prime & ROTF Leader Class Megatron Bonus Packs that come with Deluxe Class Autobot Camshaft.

However, we still do not have any confirmation date of the release as well as other information such as store exclusive etc.

TFCLUB has listed the ROTF Leader Class Megatron with Autobot Camshaft at Taobao.com for auction.
We can presume that this version of value pack should be released soon.

They could've atleast included Camshaft into Megatron's bio to make a new story or something.

Yay, Camshaft! Camshaft is awesome!

Do I sense sarcasm with my sarcasm detector?

Hmmmm i may pick up leader prime when ever these come out. Well that is if they dont raise the price and its not a store exclusive. $45 for a leader and a delux isnt that bad. Even if it is camshaft.

if it was G1 camshaft then it would have been on my wishlist

I have an even better idea for selling Movie Leader Megatron-actually design one that's worth a flip that people want. Both have completely sucked IMO. Peppering in a bad figure certainly isn't going to help.

Seems like for every Bludgeon bio, there's a boxed set like this dragging Hasbro down.

Hasbro is only including Camshaft to clean off some space at storage.

First Hasbro Rep: "We have two figures that are not selling. One from the 1st movie and one for the 2nd. What should we do?"
Second Hasbro Rep: "Let's rip them out of the old packaging and repackage them together to clear the stock and offer one for free instead of taking a loss!"
First Hasbro Rep: "Oh like we have done in the past! Right. How could I have forgotten that tried and true option! Especially targeting the completist collector that will buy well just about anything to complete a line!"
Both Hasbro Reps: "ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

More likely that someone at Hasbro is convinced that two wrongs make a right.

I know you're probably joking, but I don't want anyone to actually believe that "repackaged" figures like this are really repackaged. It wouldn't be cost effective. It's usually loose stock or entirely new production runs. Which sometimes makes me sadder, that they actually did a whole new production run for Camshaft.
