Ditto!!!

Oh how i would love both of these but a little pricey(for me) But i am confused with the 34.99 "Deluxe Cement Mixer" transformer Toysrus.com is selling. There is so many things wrong with it: Mixmaster is not a Deluxe, The description doesn't have his name in it unlike all the others, and the price is the price for a double pack. :-B

So does this mean its the "Back Road Brawl" double pack? Has anyone else noticed this?

Too cool, for me these are some of the best G1 toys I remember from way back then. Can't wait until I see them!

I believe you are correct on it being the 2-Pack.

Back on topic...

$35.00 for the Insecticons? Great. Perceptor? Not so much.

Gotta love how the website has "Insecticons" spelled "Insections." LOL! :APPLAUSE:

by **IceWilly** » Mon Oct 12, 2009 4:02 am

gah, went to buy them as soon as i saw this... insecticons were already sold out. Darn.

The Insecticons are showing in stock now, but they can't be added to cart.

Lastest update Insecticons sold out and 15 Perceptors left as of 11am CDT. This is why i got my insecticons or should i say "insections" lst night

The way that all of the previous TRU exclusives all the way back to the 2007 movie ones are pretty much shelf warmers here, I hope the same thing will happen to these.

I'm still trying to decide if I want to trade in some old 360 games to get Darkwind and Wingblade.

Just tried to order the insecticons again and it went though confirmation and everything. maybe there are more.

I agree, I don't understand the price point for Perceptor. He's comparable to a voyager, right? But then again, they did charge $70 for G1 Prime...

I want him, but not sure if I wanna shell out that much.

I got that same answer on Saturday at three different TRU's in the area. I probably could have gotten a more intelligent answer from the TF's on my desk than from those clowns.

ARGH I know the feeling I have cut down my Transformer Expenditures but would have picked both of these up.

News Credits: 23 · by **ZenPrime** » Tue Oct 13, 2009 8:55 am

These are a pass for me. Already have the original G1 and the TFC versions, don't see any reason to get these.

News Credits: 12 · by **nemesis-prime** » Tue Oct 13, 2009 9:06 pm

I already got a tracking # mine will be here 10-15 :grin:

by **Grahf** » Wed Oct 14, 2009 5:08 pm

They're starting to show up in stores now too. My local TRU had two of each. I'm not really sure that I want Perceptor any more. I remember him being larger but that could just be my mind playing tricks on me. Also, they come in some damn fine packageing.
