A terrific toy, I'm very glad I snagged him a couple months ago. I'm no G1 slave but IMO Defensor looks better with two slim limbs, two bigger. Albeit my Defensor is Groove, Blades, Streetwise, Rook. First Aid is one of Galvatronus' limbs...
He has ALL THE TRUCKS.

So, is Groove just finally now coming available? You know, "May Mayhem" in September? I got my Groove in May from Robot Kingdom, so I stopped paying attention to the matter, but it seems to me like this is only now becoming available.

He was probably including shipping with that price.

I and many others got him in may from bbts or Amazon or wherever. Seems like retailers sold out quickly but were promised more later.

Those pesky things called shipping and sales tax, it would come to $24.90 for me.

As we all know, Unite Warriors and Combiner Wars have a few Deluxe class figures that are different.
So far, I've collected five U.W. sets. This got me thinking: Hasbro introduced a few new Deluxe characters for their combiners, which Takara didn't do, and instead chose for classic names.
Fortunately, if you still want those new characters, Hasbro lets you buy them all seperately.
I'm not talking about the few robots that have the same name, but a different mold, such as Blastoff and Nosecone for example.
I'm talking about Offroad (who wasn't a G1 Menasor limb), Rook (Defensor), Alpha Bravo (Superion).
And there's also the difference in Skyreign/Lynxmaster with UW having Ratchet, and CW having Smokescreen.
I'm thinking of getting the UW Lynxmaster (for Ratchet mostly), and hopefully UW Superion (with Slingshot) and then getting 4 "missing" deluxes, plus another Voyager, to create a new Combiner:
- CW white Convoi or whatever he's called, or another Voyager that's not in UW-01 through 08.
- CW Offroad
- CW Rook
- CW Smokescreen
- CW Alpha Bravo
I want this to be an all autobot combiner though, but that's okay, because I never liked Roller on Grand Galvatron as an autobot. Galvatron need decepticons imo, so I can swap out Offroad with Roller!
The new combiner's legs would be Rook & Roller! Rock & Roll Convoi!
The trick is: finding all these seperate figures... They're just nowhere to be found in the EU, except maybe from Kapow Toys, with whom I sadly have quite a bad experience.
So if you know any EU online shops that may have these figures, please let me know

That is a good suggestion putting Off Road on Galvatron.
I still hold out a vague hope for some CW Vs sets some time - as there sure are a lot of obvious repaints : Detritus, Slicer, Hoist, Sideswipe, Red Alert, (possibly Jazz), maybe another Ratchet (green or red & white maybe), A western version of Breakdown (maybe using the First Aid Mould), Exhaust, Tigertrack, Clamp Down, Deepcover, Silverstreak, and so on.. not to mention there is some potential for Turbomasters, Predator Planes & Seekers there too.
While I think of it Groove's Dlx could be turned into Dlx Wreck Gar, Road Pig or Sideways too.

Sigh. Is this guy/mold ever going to get a single release over in the UK?

If you spend another $34, maybe picking up some TR guys, you would get the free shipping and it would be well worth it

People happily paid that from BBTS back when he came out in May.
Also, check how much Quickslinger and Wildrider are going for on he secondary market. Lots of people regret not getting them when they could. You dont have to get him, of course, but this price might look like a bargain one year from now.

That is exactly what I did. I am getting all the UW sets, and only the CW figures not released in the UW series. You can still make that all Autobot combiner... (Battle Core Optimus, Alpha Bravo, Rook, Smokescreen and the 5th member will either be the "bonus" to next years TFSS 5.0 Subscription Service, or if that turns out to be a Decepticon you could add in Botcon 2016 Unit-3 or Tigatron.
My all 'con unique combiner will be Grand Scourge with CW Blast Off and Vortex (as they are significantly different from their UW counterparts) Off Road and 2016 Botcon Terrorsaur

I couldn't get the $50 free shipping to activate for me, so I just got this guy - it's worth it though

There are a few good ebay sellers on the continent worth dealing with there is one who has 9.99 (euro) shipping on most things but charges no more post no matter what you buy.
I think he might be in the Netherlands even.

By the way Sjeng, just to make finding him easier; the white Optimus' official name is Battle Core Optimus Prime.
