Pretty sure these will never show in stores and only be available online like Brake Neck and Quickslinger.

I think this is correct, but also a huge mistake*. Even a small brick and mortar run would probably clear out during the holidays. Cool gift for collectors, except no one buys these types of gifts for upcoming holidays like New Year's/MLK Day/President's Day.

Hell just the timing of these is clearly a supply chain screwup. When did we see the boxed Superion images, months ago? Where have they been sitting around? Somebody messed up somewhere, at least that's my theory.

All that aside I look forward to these sets immensely. Bring on G2 Defensor!

*Edit for clarity: mistake on the collective retailers' part for not ordering them into physical stores at all in time for the holidays, were it an option. Mistake on Hasbro's part if they didn't make that an option for even a small (<10,000 pieces) quantity.

The Age of Extinction Dinobot sets and the Autobot Alliance set seemed like better value for money to me.

If you crunch the numbers they are pretty much $50.00 over priced - even if you are generous and class the Deluxe price point as $20.00 & Voyager as $35.00 & Legends/Basic as £15.00 they are still over priced.

$20.00+$20.00+$20.00+$20.00
+$35.00
+$15.00
= $140.00 ($10.00 overpriced)

So even inflating the prices to the most insane price a store could conceivable try to charge for the individual items they are still to much - if they try to further inflate the Price for Victorion - I will laugh in their face.

Why would I pay as much for a Hasbro toy that I could buy a Unite Warriors Gift set for - "with shipping" and then I'd have to pay international postage on the gift sets as well making them way more expensive than any AOE set except the SDCC one.

And if you class them by a more sensible price... They'd be more like $15.00X4
$25.00
& $10.00

Though some of my contacts tell me their local American retailers have taken to charging $15.00 for Legends class now.

But lets be honest paying a premium for Silverbolt in any colour would leave a bad taste in my mouth - especially as he has a tendency to break.

$150 Canadian is about $108 USD, much more in line with their MSRP of $100USD.

Shockwaves back in stock at hts, so, as the saying goes, get 'em while they're hot

Just sharing the love. Vehicon General of the TAV line is available again at amiami.

$100.00 US is acceptable as that was around what a typical AOE Boxes set was going for I was only irked as I wanted to buy all the G2 Gift sets they make and pricing them to high means the Defensor one becomes a little further away then.

$100.00 each means the 4 we know about would cost $400.00 if they did come out at a higher price though they that makes your spend $600.00 for the 4 sets instead - a big jump in price.

I do wonder if G2 Defensor may show up as a comic convention toy exclusive though.

I'm still left hoping that there may be a G2 Rook, Off Road & Alpha Bravo though sometime - but also left wondering if they should be a unique coloring or the same as the character they used to stand it for.

As I have said before I do really like the idea of a spare team member.

I have also mentioned before that I suspect the Transformation that many of these Limb-bots have makes a potential Seacon Rifle mode possible too using the extra team member. Heck you can do that already with Rook.

Fellow Seibertronians, the eagerly anticipated Combiner Wars Sky Lynx finally has a listing for his wave. Found on DorkSideToys, the listing includes the date that pre-orders begin, but it also includes his wave-mate, which is none other than what appears to be an unaltered Onslaught.

Sky Lynx is expected to be available in February, the listing may be viewed by clicking the picture:


Onslaught was reported to a 'running change' that included a more show accurate olive green chest plate for Bruticus - as seen in our galleries from Botcon '15 - instead of the wave 1 toy accurate grey colored chest plate. However, the images for the wave seem to contradict this;



While questions about how this running change will take place, one thing is for sure, Sky Lynx's release is quickly approaching. Are you excited for Sky Lynx? Let us know in the comments below.

Bruticus' chest plate would be green as seen here:



Thought it was generally common knowledge by now, but I guess I'll just update the news post... Thanks for letting me know that this should have been clarified.
