Online Listings for Titans Return Siege on Cybertron "Strength Set"

The speed set was a straight cut Toysrus global exclusive, but things weren't so clear with the next boxset called Siege on Cybertron, which includes the Takara remold of PM OP, Tidal Wave from Broadside, Metalhawk from Triggerhappy, Pounce, and Titanmaster Thunderwing. We were told it was a BBTS exclusive at Toyfair but there has been no word on it since. We reached out to BBTS and they weren't even aware of this boxset. Well, now listings for the set have popped up on Canadian computer software/hardware sites all belonging to the same parent company. The prices vary from $130 CDN closer to the MSRP $150 price and these are all preorders with no date given for when they will show up in stock. While this sounds odd, these PC sites also have other Transformers on preorder, like Titan Class Tryipticon, so it's not completely out of the ordinary for them to stock this set too. What is odd is that since this set is exclusive to one retailer in the US, one would think that would be carried over to other countries where it would be exclusive to other retailers. Does this mean that this set will only be available from this parent company of online computer products? At least we know for sure that this will not be a BBTS exclusive worldwide and that there will be other ways of getting it for those interested. Thanks to Scotty P for letting us know of these listings.

Well that saves me some time. I was just about to reach out myself to BBTS Customer Service and ask...but I'm not surprised, BBTS rarely knows anything in advance, they still probably don't know the last 3 toys of TFSS 5.0 are all shipping together.

I'm in high anticipation of this set. Not so much for the releases as none of them are really high on my want list, but much more of...where/when it will pop up first, and how well will it be distributed

I'm interested in the Optimus Prime of this set. That's all. If I buy the set I'll sell the other figures.

I found Perceptor and Krok today. It has allowed me to finally have my definitive '86 Movie Cast. Not the greatest picture, but it's cool to have them all together.

"Not the greatest picture"

I think it's a really good picture and a great collection you got there. :D

I wish this set was available already. Not sure if I'll keep or sell the other figures, but yea, OP is the reason I really want this set.

Got Quake and Terri-bull, and they are awesome, terri-bull seems like a more generic version of triggerhappy, but it's a nice shade of blue nonetheless.

Quake is gorgeous, still hate his feet, and how they angle upwards as they go towards his heel, meaning that he is prone to fall over if your neighbor sneezes.

Oddly enough, TWINFERNO is still chilling on my desk, I just love this guy, he has so much personality, it's great.

I just realized someone asked me to post a picture of this a while back and I didn't. This is Krok, but it will work on Skullsmasher too. Here's how I connected the tail portion to his arm. Hope this helps.

Alright, thanks to o.supreme, I managed to get the Chaos on Velocitron set. Some thoughts:

Rodimus Prime is awesome. I love the diecast, and he works well as a standalone since he has no vehicle and no body, so he can actually man the guns other figures come with!

Fastlane: he feels sort of drab. I thought I would be more excited with him. And his joints are incredibly tight, like I'm afraid to break him tight.

Nautica is cool, and she feels better in hand than she looked. Really glad to finally have my favorite TF Lady with me!!!

Laser Prime. Wow. I love black and red, and this guy nails it. I love the look, even if the robot mode looks very different from his alt modes. He transforms solidly, and he looks dead sexy! 2nd favorite voyager behind Alpha Trion from the line for me! Plus that sword is awesome.

Quickswitch. Well, let's head down the rabbit hole: he's awesome. this is the figure I would've sold, but he beats Sixshot in every way. He has tight joints and can hold poses! He has so much paint and I like his colors. That wheeled-tank is my main alt mode for him, it works great! Love this figure, glad I got him. He kills papa sixy!

Really ?

For me it's the weakest of the set. (I love all the others)
The amount of paint to cover the diecast completely eliminate the details, which made him gross on all bodies I tried. (all with sculped details etc.
I agree he works well as standalone titan master, but as a head.. meh, at least.

I'm using him as a standalone, which is probably why he works so well. He'll either stay with Laser Prime, or go visit with Kup

Yikes, I'm old enough to remember Cameo, loved Korn back in college and have daughters who loved the power puff girls when they were younger. All 3 actually came to mind for me.

Not up to date but has that "Chaos" boxset been found in Canada yet? (Within all the chaos of distribution lol).

I would much rather find the set in store then have to order it.
