He's like the biggest reason people are even considering this Computron instead of just getting Takara's lol

I've never seen any of them in store (though I know Dev and Superion have been sold at retail). I'm just speaking more to the general availability, and seemingly plentiful quantities.
Again, I know our memories seem to be flawed over the years, but growing up in the 80's there was only one Toys R Us, one Kay Bee, and a couple of other stores (Montgomery Wards, BEST etc...) near my home that had toys, but I never seem to remember having trouble finding, or having to go all over to hunt for a particular transformer I wanted, they always seemed to just be there. I know because of the prevalence of online shopping Times have changed...I just miss the old ways sometimes.

You're not alone in that sentiment. Sadly I don't know what it is, but even here these stores are poorly supplied when it comes to toys.

Where did you get that Groove? I haven't seen a Hasbro Groove for sale anywhere here yet... But I assume that's the Hasbro Deluxe Groove?
So, basically, the Red Hasbro CW O/P always has bad hips? I just read this topic, and I understand that basically, the ratchets are off by half a tooth, thus not allowing the Combiner to stand straight, right? That's pretty bad. Definitely looking to find a Takara Grand Prime then instead of a Hasbro one.

Correct, it was the limited first run of the Hasbro Groove on the CW Defensor. CW Groove will be getting a much wider release in October, so you may be able to get one with more ease later this year.
Or you could get the CW Battle Core O/P that has an (as of yet) exclusive head mold, and a cooler deco - this also happens to relieve your collection of the monotony of another Prime with a red paint scheme. But if you really want a red Prime, then, yes, the UW Grand Convoy is your best way to go.

Well, since anything CW is very hard to find here in the NL and Belgium, it's gonna be hard to try and complete this guy anyway, red OR white. All I can find here is HotSpot and Cyclonus voyagers, and Dragstrip, Skydive and Firefly, and some RiD O/P's, and a few Optimus Maximus bases (discounted for €25,- but it looked horrible). And some random Legend class models. *sigh*

Unfortunately, that's what happens when one starts wanting to collect a year-old line just as it's coming to an end.Sjeng wrote:Hellscream9999 wrote:Or you could get the CW Battle Core O/P that has an (as of yet) exclusive head mold, and a cooler deco - this also happens to relieve your collection of the monotony of another Prime with a red paint scheme.

Something I've been telling myself every day for the last month...If only I could go back in time to tell myself to start collecting CW from day one. Of course if I could go back in time, I'd probably just purchase all Original Transformers toys...well honestly...if I could go back in time, I'd probably move on to bigger things than toys that would eventually lead to the destruction of time as we know it. So...we'll just stick with me lamenting my indecisiveness from a year ago

Preordered him from BBTS a couple months back. Funny story: Shortly after placing that order, I found a site that had him listed for cheaper than BBTS, and ordered one from there. When I was about to cancel my BBTS order, it had already started processing. So I've got another Groove on my way eventually that I've agreed to sell to a friend at cost. Also, good news, Hasbro Deluxe Groove is almost identical to Takara Deluxe Groove, except that the former uses black screws instead of the latter's silver. That's literally the only difference.

Scramblecore. He's pre-sold out now, though.
