As we indicated the other day, the street date for the 4th wave of Titans Return toys has passed and while they won't be available domestically in the US for a little while, they are now popping up online in great number. E-bay now has several listings for all the characters in the wave and depending on where you are wolrdwide, it may even be at a similar price to the one you would pay.
For instance, here is a whole set of the deluxe class including Perceptor, Krok, Quake, Topspin and Kup for US $129.99 / £104, from the animetropolis store.
The premium differs from store to store, as does the shipping. But for anyone wanting them now or worried of not getting them later, these are viable options.
Seibertronian DestronMirage22 has let us know that he has found some Robots in Disguise Minicon 4-packs at Burlington! This appears to be becoming a trend, seeing as how just earlier today we got word that G2 Bruticus had made its way to Burlington as well. This set of 4 minicons is the original boxed set, featuring Blizzard Strike Backtrack, Scorch Strike Beastbox, Blizzard Strike Swelter, and Scorch Strike Undertone, and was found at a $7.99 price point.
With this in mind, head on out to Burlington and see if you can't find yourselves some cheap Transformers, and remember to keep sending us your sightings!
Fellow Seibertronian EmirateXaaron has found a nice score at Burlington Coat Factory. Despite the name, this is a market six store, similar to TJMaxx and Ross. He found Combiner Wars G2 Bruticus for only $40. Have any of you visited Burlington Coat Factory yet? Find any other cool box sets? Let us know!

Needless to say, I was rather pleased.
Courtesy of a Facebook post by our friends over at OzFormers, we report that Titans Return Wave 3 have been found in Australia with Leader class Sixshot appearing at a number of Toyworlds and Voyager Optimus Prime at Victorian K-Marts.
So for our Australian members, it's time to get hunting! Unless you live in the boonies like Burn in which case you should probably wait six months and then give up.
We are aware of some concern among the collecting fandom about the scarcity of Titans Return wave 2 Leader Class Soundwave, with Titan Master Sounblaster - but thanks to fellow Seibertronian Impulse, we have news of him being in stock at HasbroToyShop, as well as the previous report on him being on Amazon.com! Happy weekend remote hunting.
It turns out that today is the street date for the 2017 Wave 2 Titans Return toys (or Wave 4, depending on how you catalogue it), which includes Sky Shadow, Kup, Topspin, Perceptor and many others. Today, all stores importing from China simultaneously put this wave up for sale, which includes UK importer Orbital Comics and IDToys and Japan importers Red Mercury and Monster Japan (this is where people in Japan can get Hasbro items), to name a few. So, if any Japanese fan wants their hands on Sky Shadow (which is a Hasbro exclusive so far), they can do so today for $100. I will let you all bask in the irony that these Hasbro toys are currently out in Japan before the US.
Since these imports are from China, it only makes sense that they are out in Hong Kong, as is shown by the Titan Masters being out at Robot Kingdom right now (the rest are currently sold out but they are taking more preorders for when they restock).
Since BBTS, TFSource and other US collector stores order from Hasbro directly rather than import, they will not be available for a while. However, Comic Shops may have these so let us know if you find em!
You remember the news of Takara releasing the Hasbro Titan Masters in better deco? It being a wonderfest and Cybertron Satelite exclusive spread some fear for the price. Satelite Exclusives have been very expensive in the past, especially for the west where with importing costs, like last year's Warrior Black Knight Bumblebee for $60. However, the situation may not be so bleak this year because we have a listing from Robot Kingdom for this set and it is at the very reasonable price of 25$. Of course, the extra $20 it costs to ship it out anywhere is not as fun but fellow Seibertronian Emerje realized that for Robot Kingdom to sell it for this low compared to the Yen price it has in Japan must mean that this wont be exclusive afterall, and have a more readily available release from Hasbro Asia.
Emerje wrote:To be able to get these for $25 must mean there'll be an Asia release. $25 is less than the exchange rate by about $1.50 and doesn't include any type of import markup. Keep an eye on TFSource and BBTS in the coming days.
So, instead of looking at $60 like previous Satelite exclusives, this would be more around the $40 price point. Would you get it for that?
Did any of you miss out on those Robots in Disguise Titan Change Heroes? For those that forgot (since this is from 2015), those were the shampoo bottle type Transformers that actually transformed. They were surprisingly fun and did what they were there to do, pleasing to a much younger audience. There is a review below as a refresher. These are back on the shelves now in case you missed the, packaged under the new Combiner Force subline, and they were found at a Toysrus in long Island by Scottimus Prime. They actually include the Titan change heroes and the older 3 step Sideswipe under the same wave.
Thanks to Seibertronian rodimusconvoy13 we have a new sighting for the Combiner Force toyline for you guys to check out. The new figures in question are 3-steps Grimlock and Thunderhoof in new Combiner Force packaging, which as a result includes some sort of action gimmick for each. Thunderhoof appears to be a repaint of his original 3-step version but with darker colors and some sort of gimmick involving a 'hyper hook' while Grimlock appears to be a whole new mold with a 'hyper swoop' gimmick (Dino-pun intended?). These figures were found in a Meijer in Ann Arbor, MI, so head on out and start hunting these new 3-steps!
We have three sightings for you minicon hunters and Combiner Force 3-step fans to check out.
The first comes to us from Carytheone who discovered that the wave 3 and 4 minicons that included the likes of Blizzard Slipstream, Hammer, and Swelter among others, have begun to show up at 5 below. This sighting was confirmed by yours truly, suggesting that this is indeed a widespread sale. So if you are interested in some minis that haven't hit regular retail, go find a 5 Below!
The second sighting is from Destronmirage who has discovered that at least his Walmart is trying to rid itself of the minicons by placing them on a $2 sale. So check out your local Walmart to see if you can find some cheap minicons there!
Finally, Seibertron himself has reported that the new Combiner Force 3-step Optimus Prime and Bumblebee have been spotted at his Walmart in Mount Prospect, Illinois. These new figures are based on the designs of the previous 3-step changers, but they feature some new tricks in vehicle mode that resemble the minicon activators, just minus the minicon.
Check out the sightings, and head to your locals stores to hunt down these new Robots in Disguise Products!
