Age of Extinction Power Battlers Junkheap found at TJ Maxx

For some reason I do not see anyone making mass efforts to "hunt" these down.

You would be very mistaken.

That only proves one thing. That some people are ignorant enough to pay a lot of money for something because they have nothing better to spend their money on. I saw someone on ebay pay $100 for a corn chip they claimed looked like Jesus, so using ebay as "proof" that these are highly sought out is not very credible.

Well, there are a couple factors that add to his desirability. In order of importance:

1) He was promoted by Hasbro as an Earth Day special... which was a year before his eventual release.

2) He's a unique piece. It's not often we get a garbage truck of all things for an alt mode, in fact, including the Go-Bots and Rescue Bots, we only have 4 of them:

- Gobots Fly Trap
- Animated Wreck-Gar
- Rescue Bots Salvage
- AoE Junkheap

And no, figures that are actually garbage do not count!

3) Because he's a tail-ender he's seen as hard to find, which only adds to the desire to have him sooner than later.

Plus, the Power Battler is the only version of the guy out there, so people look past that. I don't consider that ignorant at all.

Or, you know, they're rare and desirable.

I saw one of the reviews, it looks like a solid little figure; it's rare, but I don't even mind the lackluster articulation, the gimmick would make it a nice desk piece (just him chillin' out with some other figure sticking out of his chest-mouth-thing) I agree with X, if I found it for less than $10 I would probably bite.

Haven't seen Junkheap yet, but I saw that Vehicon for $6.99 at a TJMaxx, and passed...




...because I already got two for $5.00 each!

That's right, like the PRID Vehicon before him in that summer of love 3 years ago, the Fast Action Bastar-*ahem" Power Battler Vehicon's case has appeared at 5-Below!!! Said case seems to include Drift, Op, and Cannon-Bee, possibly Snarl (I've been having so much luck finding AofE TFs at blowout stores that I don't remember which were at 5B and which were TJMarshaxx).

Though as much as I loved AofE, I'll probably keep my army building below a dozen this time around. How many of those cars did Cemetery wind have at the farm?

I know this shouldn't get my hopes up that any Generations figures will show at the Marsh, but if Arcee and Chromia are on the way, the time should be soon...

Never stop canvassing!

I'd definitely bite on that. In fact, some stores here have gotten hold of overstock up to the wave with Optimus Prime, Lockdown, Galvatron and most of the Dinobots, down to €6.00 at best. Just before the wave with Vehicon and Junkheap. Here's hoping...

Canada hasnt seen these pop up yet in the discount market but our Winners is starting to get the one steps that didnt sell, so maybe we will get these too.

Just throwing it out there that I'm selling my Junkheap. It's more than TJMax but less than the eBay scalpers.

And must be paid as "gift" with a mystery shipping cote to be paid at a later date, still as "gift", right?

K, I'm not exactly sure what your "getting" at, but Chuck hooked me up with the Platinum triple changers and it was a real square deal. No funny biz what so ever. Rather friendly exchange as a matter of fact.

Neither can fit stuff in their trailers. And between the two, Wreck Gar is better. The age of extinction one is gimmicky and not meant to be a poseable toy for collectors. It's small and fun but not the best garbage truck transformer. It is also very hard to find. Stick with Wreck gar.
