This is my reason, put into much better and cooler words.

Yes & yes! I have had more fun than I thought possible with A-3, and it's good to see some love for him.He was certainly a unique Voyager for TR.I am glad Generations is planned for after PotP -- it's certainly delivered on modern updates to beloved characters from all across the globe and forms of media.

Like Skritz, I really want a CHUG Star Saber! Deathsaurus too! Er, I mean Unknown Evil....

And I'm so tempted to order Overlord online....but I am leaving my fate to B&M. And kinda hoping he shows up at Ross or another discount seller for Xmas.

Just saw about 4 overlords and 3 six shots at my walmart last night.

I feel like Titans Return supply was managed better than Combiner Wars simply because I still haven't seen any Titans Return figures at Ross/TJ Maxx/Marshalls.

That may be the case -- I only ever saw Voyagers and Leaders as well, so as far as I know, I missed out on finding Misfire at b&m. ;_;

I'm going hunting now...last night, all Walmart had was TLK and wave1 TR deluxes....

supposedly there have been sightings of Fort turning up at TK Maxx(or should that be TK Fort Maxx? lol) in the UK, but I guess it'll be a hit & miss affair! much like was the case with CW Sky Lynx

I tried to hunt FM last Xmas, Stuartmaximus! No luck, but I did get that AoE dinoboxset where they had G1-style heads.

Nothing for TR yet again.....best thing I saw was still TLK: Optimus voice-changing helmet for $30 at Ross.

Titans Return Leader class Sixshot and Sky Shadow have had listings on Hasbro Toy Shop for a while now, but have been repeatedly in and out of stock, and now both figures are currently available. Overlord, however, is brand new to the shop, and is currently in stock! All 3 figures are available for $44.99, which is just shy of the $49 free shipping limit. However, if you would buy more than 1 of the Decepticon leader class figures, or if you would add even a single Titan Master, you would qualify for the free shipping.

As a reminder, Sixshot is the Decepticon 6-changer who can assume a robot, wolf, car, tank, jet and gunsubmarine mode. Sky Shadow was Japanese gangster pretender from G1 whose shell and inner robot mode have been fused together for his modern non-pretender figure. Overlord was the giant Decepticon leader from Super God Masterforce, and this is his first mass release toy in the states.

Check them out, and let us know if you are planning to pick up the Phase Sixers!

one thing that we never got with the Titans Return line was Junkion Blacksmith style Titan Masters(ie the TM's would have 3 modes themselves! basically a triple-changer) but now this line is coming to an end & POTP is starting, I doubt that we'll now ever see triple changing heads.

You know what is a case of 'would have been cool' that occured to me? If not for the fact is a very late remold and an 'exclusive' at that I can't help but think that the Grotusque mold would have made an awesome basis for the three Firecons. Sounds like a kickass concept for some fanpub or botcon thing but, alas, those are a thing of the past now.

The rumor was four box sets, right?

Speed Set:
Chaos on Velocitron Box Set with Dynamus & Quickswitch, Refractor & Laser Prime, Parsec & Autobot Nautica, Fastclash, Rodimus Prime

Strength Set:
Siege on Cybertron Box Set with Ginrai & Magnus Prime, Professor Go & Metalhawk, Fathom & Tidal Wave, Pounce, Thunderwing

Intelligence Set:
Arcee Box Set with Leinad & Arcee and Ultra Magnus

Fireblast Set:
Grotusque Box Set with Fengul & Grotusque with Scorponok

Assuming the Intelligence and Fireblast box sets were supposed to have five figures like the Speed and Strength sets, who would the other figures be?

Cloudraker and Wingspan would have probably been the Legion Class figures.

Arcee/Leinad and Grotusque/Fengul cover the Deluxe Class figures.

Ultra Magnus and Scorponok cover the Titan Master figures.

Voyagers? Leaders?

Could have been:
Voyagers:
toy color galvatron (unlikely),
g2 green megatron (likely),
omega supreme energon (astro train repaint)
Leoconvoy (just using takar toy likely) or a repaint to vector prime colors)

also with tidal wave showing up it might have been an energon or cybertron only guest character (I've hardly watched any cybertron and pretty much forgotten energon).

Leaders:
cybertron soundwave from sixshot -its a stretch with him already having a leader class figure and image wise but the more I think of it I kind of like it.(unlikely)
New soundwave (likely)
twincast (likely)
Thunderwing (unlikely as hes meant to be POTP?)

edit: god bomber could have been likely too with a way of releasing it outside of Japan, though dunno which 'stock' name they would label him with.

blackeyedprime wrote:toy color galvatron (unlikely),

You may not be too far off on this since John Warden mentioned in an interview that a toy-colors Galvatron was something that Hasbro didn't get to do with the Galvatron mold that they were prepared to do if they felt the need to, as they'd even made an alternate face mask for that version.

blackeyedprime wrote:Thunderwing (unlikely as hes meant to be POTP?)

And they already did Thunderwing as a Titan Master.

blackeyedprime wrote:edit: god bomber could have been likely too with a way of releasing it outside of Japan, though dunno which 'stock' name they would label him with.

"Iron Apex" is what the initial rumors referred to a Deluxe Godbomber that would have come in the Siege on Cybertron set instead of Metalhawk.

Found the Clone 2 pack at EB-Games. I left it on the shelf because I find that 30$ for two basic scouts was way too expensive to pay and I just NOPE'D at the price I have to pay to get the still missing clone from the Chaos on Velocitron set.

Anyone want my Wolf clone?
40$ or for something interesting.

If you feel $30 is too much for 2, why would you think $40 for 1 is a fair deal?

It's definitely not. But Ironically, I'm pretty sure I can sell it for at least that much. PLUS shipping.

ok...so I just got an e-mail from TRU that my pre-order for Arcee was cancelled...no explanation, but this is a little upsetting as it was to be a gift for my daughter. Anyone else get this?

o.supreme wrote:ok...so I just got an e-mail from TRU that my pre-order for Arcee was cancelled...no explanation, but this is a little upsetting as it was to be a gift for my daughter. Anyone else get this?

Well that's odd. I have her on pre-order but haven't received any cancellation yet.
Did they give any explanation as to why it was canceled?

We have some sad news to share. Several fans have reported getting their Hascon Arcee orders cancelled by Toysrus. This exclusive toy went up for preorder at Toysrus October 5th with a November 7 release date. However, as we near the release date, it seems Toysrus cannot fulfill all their orders. They have sent out messages saying the order cannot be fulfilled. It is unknown if this is happening to everyone or only to some, meaning we do not know if this toy is not coming out right now or if it's because there were more orders than available product. So check your inboxes as soon as you can and get back to us to let us know if this is happening to you too.

Here is the message sent:

UPDATE:

A few fans contacted Toysrus and learnt that the issue was with the preorder window being longer than 30 days which exceeds the limit some banks, paypal and some credit cards may have when holding money for an order. For further questions and clarity regarding your particular order, it is best you contact the number given in the e-mail. Arcee is still available for preordering at the time of writing, so anyone with a cancelled order can simply reorder her.

A couple people I know have already gotten this notice. I wonder what happened.

Was TRU the only way of gettings this apart from Hascon?

Update...Ok I called TRU customer service because I lost some coupons used as a result. Thankfully they:

1. made good on getting me my coupons back and

2. Had an explanation...


apparently with paypal and some bank/credit cards they will set aside the funds for 30 days (and not charge the account). If the vender In this case TRU) does not claim their funds within 30 days, the order is often cancelled. Not sure why TRU put up the pre-order so far in advance then....However After I got my coupons back, I went back to TRU.com and just reordered.

Actually it worked out better, as TRU is having a "Buy 2 get the 3rd free" Promo. I was able to order 2 Arcee's and get a figure of equal or lesser value for Free . I'm not into deluxes, But my son has wanted to get Twinferno since he first saw him...I couldn't pass up a free one. The best value would probably to get a Voyager of equal value, but Broadside is the only one they currently have available. Also I noticed they have listings for Wave 5 Deluxes, but not in stock yet, so they will probably be coming in the next few weeks.

So Go ahead and re-order. If you lost promo coupons like I did, call TRU customer service and they can send you an email giving you new coupons of equal value.

Well, I don't mean to ba a nanny-nanny-boo-boo-I-got-mine, but I was doing some routine online banking and saw a charge from TRU for the amount of the Arcee pre-order dated for tomorrow.

Looks like they may have over sold their quantities.

When did you submit your Pre-order? If it was after October 7th, then you are probably within the 30 day window.

I placed my order Oct 5th. So....

o.supreme wrote:I'm not into deluxes, But my son has wanted to get Twinferno since he first saw him...

Twinferno is a really fun figure, but heads up on the hips for the transformation to beast mode, especially for your son. They can be really tough to get pegged in correctly the first time, requires a bit more force than most figures and they peg in at a weird angle on top of that. In fact, the first few times I transformed him I didn't have the hips done correctly and did realize it, and thought it was just a bad floppy design. Getting the hips correct makes all the difference. Hope he enjoys it. The good news is once you get them pegged correctly once or twice, it becomes a bit easier.

This happened to me when I placed my order for Trypticon from them back in August. I bought him and Fortress Maximus as part of their Buy One, get one 40% off promo. They quickly shipped me Fort Max, but never shipped me Trypticon and after about 30 days my order got canceled. I called them and said I did not want the order cancelled, that I was willing to wait for him to come back in stock, but they said that is what they do, and all I could do was to sign up to be notified when it was back in stock. So I did that, but needless to say I was not happy as I felt like I was going to miss out on getting him for a pretty good price (less than $150.00 anyway). Then I got an email from TRU last week saying he was back in stock. I called them, explained to them what had happened, and they wound shipping me Trypticon not for 40% off, but for 50% off, $74.99 plus tax. I received him yesterday -- I haven't opened him yet!

I doubt they'll get Arcee back in stock since she was a HASCON exclusive, but you never know. If they do, it's worth calling them. But as far as cancelling the order, they said that is what they do when they don't get it back in stock, even if you request to keep the order open. In fact, any item I've ever ordered from TRU that has been backordered has been cancelled by them after 30 days or so. I guess if they haven't actually charged you for the item until they ship it, they feel there's no need to keep an order open beyond 30 days. It's a bad policy in my opinion -- I ORDERED the item because I WANT the item, even if it's back ordered. I'm willing to wait. But they don't see it that way, which is why I don't make a habit of buying things from Toys R Us anymore.

But not with a credit card. Maybe that has something to do with is

Too bad for that Arcee. Oh well.

Looks like TRU has ordered a single shipment, and they've all but gone at an unexpected pace. We can't blame this on scalping this time around, as a limit has been set to 2 per household.

Things don't look good for Grotusque...

You would have thought that based on the pre-orders they would have ordered more.
But if they only ordered a single shipment, then surely they should have cut the pre-orders off.

Perhaps they intended to order more, then the bankruptcy issue occurred and they scaled back their order AFTER the pre-orders ended.

... which I think they did. I checked the listing a few days prior and it said "Can't add to Basket".

It's also possible that it's leftovers from Hascon, and less than anticipated to boot.

O well, it's all done now. I may have to find another way to die-casty goodness.

Hey, that's okay. Toys R Us also cancelled their budget!

And right now $150 doesn't look that bad for Grotusque. Yes it does.

chuckdawg1999 wrote:And right now $150 doesn't look that bad for Grotusque. Yes it does.

I found an Australian dealer that could do Grotesque for $80AUD.

I balked at that.

I think I'll manage with my G1 Grotusque.

Seibertron's drinking coffee emoji is not good enough for this. So here's a GIF.

It cant be an ordering issue since its a TRU exclusive at this point. Its like when people worried about Wallgreens not ordering enough of Brainstorm or the upcoming clones, it all goes to one retailer. So you arent ordering how much you want of something you are option for selling that particular product and stocking it. Hasbro cant have any left, everything will go to the retailer.

It could be that instead, this is all thats left, that would make more sense. Especially since there were a few goes at this figure and Toysrus ends up being the second retailer to get this.

And it wouldnt be about bankruptcy since the Toysrus doesnt pay upfront on orders and its more the sellers who were iffy about supplying TRU with Product, not TRU being iffy about ordering (TRU has nothing to lose at this point, their sellers do). And Hasbro had confirmed that they were doing business as usual so it wouldnt be that.

The fact that any american can stil currently preorder her right now at TRU (and that some who got this message did do this) points to this being simply a digital logistics issue with payment methods and nothing more.

With nothing to actually back it up. Could you perhaps provide a bit more information Stuart? The News Crew would then be able to update the article and keep everyone informed.

https://www.seibertron.com/transformers ... hop/39605/

wow this is bs. i thought i finally had the thing. all i had to do was wait for the preorder to get shipped. now this happens. with this much time gone by they will be even harder to find now. thanks alot tru. this must be part of the new strategy they have to stay in business.

Yep, my one Arcee was canceled, but I just went back and ordered another one and ended up basically getting a second one free by finally getting Broadside. Technically Broadside was the free item, but I couldn't decide on a third item for the B2G1free sale so I added a second Arcee (some future bartering leverage). So yeah, it worked out better in the end.

There was actually a bunch of stuff I would have preferred over a second Arcee, but just about everything in the same price range is sold out. There's really no way to ship to store at TRU? I'm going to be there Friday and wanted to get something that was listed for "store pickup" and just pick up everything at once, but I guess that isn't an actual option. So what's the point of the option, just to tell me something is available in store? Seems kind of dumb since it probably doesn't actually represent everything in the store. Oh well, guess I'll get my Infernocus Friday.

Who would buy two of same figure one figure is good enough two really ?

I believe you can only do store pickup at TRU with items they actually stock in stores and Arcee is an online only item. I was able to do this with G2 Primus back when it was it was on sale online only, but the actual stores also stock G2 Primus. No such luck for Arcee.

dragons wrote:Who would buy two of same figure one figure is good enough two really ?

I know of a few that were picked up to help out collectors outside of the US.

I hope those that wanted TR Arcee were able to reorder dat preorder. I am waiting for Grotesque....! He's coming to TRU, too?

I find myself using the Chaos on Velocitron Rodimus TM on the recent TR Hot Rod bod 100% of the time -- I like it enough that I will skip PotP Roddy...but will buy that Rodimus Unicronus. Goatees always make a villain's look complete.

I'll admit I was hoping to see a new Ratchet, through TR/Generations....we got one for RiD, but I wanted a reason to not hunt that Universe or MP incarnations down.

dragons wrote:Who would buy two of same figure one figure is good enough two really ?

Investing? This isn't a RID Bumblebee, she's the only Headmaster Arcee ever made, she will gain value well past the $25
Trading? Not everyone has access to this figure so it makes for good trade fodder.
Selling? See Trading.
Or just because it's a great looking box and people want both a complete MIB version and a loose one to play with.

He is coming to a retailer, but that retailer has yet to be identified. We assume its TRU, but it could be BBTS or Walmart or whoever.

I am sure we will get another Ratchet sooner or later, hes a very important character to not be redone yet (along with Sideswipe) so if we dont see him in POTP, he will be in whatever else they have planned on their roadmap to 2021.

Similar thing happened to me last year with some neca figures on 2 separate occasions, TRU either needs to fix there preorder thing or just stop doing it.

The MP Ratchet is pretty much perfect -- but I prefer CHUGs!

I would prefer exclusives to be at b&m, but if HTS can't even even, then BBTS is probably it.
