Putting any of those guys into this Toxitron line was pretty poor form.

I'm betting this is the case here in the states... I'm not holding onto any hope of getting Dead End (the only one I want).
And once I can't get him (I won't pay scalper prices), I won't get any of the G2 Stunticons.

I think that's more because of the general opinion of CW Menasor... Then again, how did G2 Bruticus and Superion do?

Mine shipped just like that. Supposedly the first 3 arrive tomorrow, and the last 4 arrive Saturday.

Mine shipped like that too based on the separate emails from Pulse, but all 3 pre-orders came in the same box. They just arrived today.

And give us G2 Breakdown as a tribute to BotCon or something

Those sets also went down pretty hard. I remember just passing on a $50 Bruticus, and Superion was also $30 alongside Menasor at one point.
People seem to forget that the combiner giftsets ALL went on clearance, and the G2 ones particularly went on deep clearance.

For me it was Computron and Victorion. Each of those gift sets were discounted to $50 on Amazon, but I passed. Now they sell for more than retail even used, and are several hundred dollars new, if you can find them. I ended up getting UW Computron instead, which is arguably better, but even at that time it was much more expensive.

G2 Superion and Menasor also turned up at T.J.Maxx for $40 (funny enough I made that sighting first and you were the one that wrote about it) outside of its normal market and also Hasbro Toy Shop was one of the ones that had them for $30.

I am keeping those 3 since I like them (Sideswipe for my set collection, Deadend in the hope of a G2 set that may never fully materialize for me and Mirage since it's a mold I don't have), but if you want laser cycle, I don't really need him anymore and can sell it to you at the same walmart cost like the other times I picked up toys for you.
