Transformers Generations Combiner Wars Hot Spot and Cyclonus at Mexican Retail

Photo proof below shows the price at 499 MXN (approx 33 USD) - let us know if you find these, or any other figure at retail, by using the Sightings database and the regional forums!

Christ that Megatrons dear! at 999

How the hell did MEXICO get a release for these guys when the UK hasn't even gotten Wave 2 yet!?!?

Hasbro smuggled it across the border.

The exchange rate is gonna kill me but at least Superion and Menasor will be G1. Also I've encountered the terrible reality that I am running heavily out of room for toys and my desires for toys from the Classics/Generations/CW lines are not remotely complete and I still need to buy other stuff too, lol. What the **** am I to do?

In a word my friend. Prioritize. It's an issue many of us face.

I would love to buy pretty much the entire CW line, but space and cash say otherwise, so... I have a decent Superion & Bruticus, so I'm not worried about those beyond grabbing Alpha Bravo as he is something new, and with Break-Neck in my BBTS POL I just need Blackjack for the full set (of 7). Defensor I'm contemplating, but as I do want Devestator I may hold back on, and hoping that Victorion ends up looking sweet, because I do plan to collect her.

Yeah money and space is an issue and this line is so nice. I wasn't going to get superion but I saw them in the store and just got them. I am drawing the line at getting defensor. I'll have to miss out on him. I am definatly getting bruticus though. And I'm really eager to see Victorion as well.

Yeah I am gonna miss out on Defensor, as well as Menasaur, because I have better things to do than to get figures I don't need. I am planning to get Devastator if at all possible, as well as Cyclonus, and a few more deluxes.



Oh yeah and Ultra Magnus.

Ultra Magnus, Devastator and if she looks good Victorion are all on my high priority list. I have 4/6th of Menasor now so I feel like completing him. But I look at my shelves and I get a bit sad. I think I might have to pass up on some of them and get them on the secondary market years down the road for way more than I want to spend just because of space limitations.

I'm eager for Victorion simply for the novelty and newness of her. I'm a g1 fan, but I'm not lock step in line with everything. I love the new guys for the combiner teams. I like new stuff and Hopfully Victorion will be awesomely new.
Is she going to be all original molds?

Say WHAT?!?
The rumors were true??? We actually got them before everyone else? Rad! I wonder however if they're everywhere or just in Yucatán, I live in Veracruz which is reaaaaally far from there.
If it makes the rest of the world feel any better, we got pretty much nothing from previous Generations lines, barely anything from AOE and as for CW, we got the wave 2 deluxes, but we haven't seen Motormaster or the Legends at all!

On a day like this, as we approach the end of the virtually unnoticed May Mayhem for Hasbro Transformers, the latter's official Facebook page has posted two really quite enjoyable promotional posters for the main faces of the Combiner Wars line: Stunticon combiner Menasor and Aerialbot counterpart Superion, with the 'Courage is Stronger When Combined' tagline!

Check out the mirrored images below, notified by fellow Seibertron.com member MaverickPrime, and make sure to take a look at our very own galleries for the two teams here and here. Meanwhile, I will be waiting for Hasbro to credit their artists...

These...I would buy these.

Very nice, I'm hoping to see one of Defensor soon too.

Ya man. What gives? These guys are people too. Talented ones at that.
Neat posters!

Going by precedents, I'll say this is either Santalucia or Matere, though I could be very mistaken.
Might check with them, actually.
