Combiner Wars Boxsets Now Available at TJMaxx

You can check out the image of the price tag below on the back on the box, and you can start searching your TJMaxx's in earnest with a real chance of finding a cheap Combiner Wars boxset!

Looks like I'll be on the hunt. That's a steal!

Yeah, in fact even by TJ Maxx pricing it's cheaper than buying individual combiner members. It's basically the same price as buying four Deluxe limbs from them and getting the Voyager and Legend free.

(Hmm. My news credit count still says 11 even though my list says 12.)

This happens all the time. You usually have to wait an hour or so before the number actually turns over.

If it does turn out that Computron's a part of this then this'd be a perfect deal. Most people would want him only for Strafe, Afterburner, Scrounge and the hands/feet - $40 is less than if they individual components were sold alone. And even if only one of the deluxes appeals to you... 16 + 10 = 26 for one deluxe and Scrounge, and the hands/feet... I dunno, 5? 31. Still not bad at all.

That's pretty rad! Dunno if I really want any of the Combiner sets even at that price, but still.

Though it makes me wonder at the viability of these $100+ sets. Rumor seems like they'll become a fairly common thing, yet they don't look to be doing all that well...

I'd totally buy the Computron set for $40! And that's despite the slight butthurt I felt at getting the first CW release of Scattershot, only to then see the packaged release.

I'm not sure about Liokaiser since that's a Platinum set and an exclusive. The other boxsets make sense as they're general retail sold at a lot of places, but Liokaiser's... a bit different.

Found and totally picked up G2 Menasor today - I prefer the original G1's face, but could not resist this impulse-purchase at $39.99!

No Superion, but also had Motormaster and Onslaught for $15; $8 for an opened Brawl. The haul was almost as awesome feeling as finding Sky Lynx for $13.99 at RD4L!

But that still kinda grinds mah gearz, since I NEVER saw either at mainstream retailers.

Still, I'm happy to have hunted them down thanks to other collectors sharing their finds.

That's... literally exactly what the TJ Maxx by my place had. Do you live in Oregon in the U.S. by any chance?

I'd be kinda happy to find a G2 Menasor for £39.99

Yeah, thats what I am hoping too. I hope Victorion ends up there.

I understand the desire to save money, but I'm about to take us into the jungle so get ready for savageness...

We all want specialized sets and unique, refreshing new designs. For that to happen, to see another thing like Victorion, it needs to be supported.

If you want "exotic" fringe characters like Liokaiser, you need to support the efforts.

I think it's great if by chance, these kinds of things are on sale when finances allow for them.

However, if you're the guys who wait for stuff to go to clearance and don't support these kinds of fan-targeted specialized efforts; it's kind of scummy.

Don't be a scummy guy or gal. Be a dude or dudette.

But I don't have money

its not our fault they end up there. it's Hasbro's choice since they didn't make them more desirable.
