If I see one in TK I'll happily snag it at that price, got three of the 'con ones and love 'em. Unfortunately their stock is notoriously random and the organisation is so lacking that you really have to dig through the shelves to see what's hiding there.

Just a reminder to everyone: that version of the Energon Driller has no electronics.

I actually kinda like these toys. The one thing I always felt was lacking about my Transformers as a kid were playsets. Its a shame that they don't do the odd few for Generations ECT every now and then - A deluxe figure with Auntie\Teletran1 for example.

I hate scalpers. It amazes me how much trouble somebody will go through to make 10-15 bucks profit.

If these were going to show up in the USA they would of by now. It would be nice at this point but highly unlikely.

Have no plans on it ever. Good luck finding one. I know of one place selling one if someone needs it.

That means nothing. RTS toys didn't show up at TJ Maxx until almost a year after production. Anyone with any common sense would realize this and hold out. Especially for something so trivial and the fact that Hasbro has warehouses full of product that doesn't make it to normal retail. We do that too. Once a year our plant sells all the stuff that Home depot did not buy from us to sell in their stores. And everyone knows TJ Maxx and the like are Hasbro's "go to" on things such as these.
Kinda puts the kibosh on your profiteering venture, now doesn't it? If not, why have three of something so trivial, and then brag that you have them? Not to mention the fact you run a store on ebay, do you not? Suggestive marketing at its finest.

You forgot Smokescreens ship. And I disagree, the Starhammer was the best Autobot one. The driller is the best Deception one, but it is hard for me to look at this one and not think "cheesy shameless repaint" when I look at it.

Plus, the Deluxe Class Vehicons can stand at the main controls and actually hold them. A bit undersized, but still works.
I personally don't care for the colors on this redeco, but the mold is definitely a winner.

I'd bank on it. This product has TJ Maxx written all over it. Along with the last waves of Cyberverse. I see the Canadian scalpers selling the Commanders for $45 ea. They should be ashamed of themselves. But, if someone buys them they are getting the fleecing they deserve.
Save your money Sabre. Or be prepared to kick your own rear when you see them for $12 this summer.....

Well, no worries for you then. It just kills me to see fellow fans get anxious and throw down cash to ripoff artists. I just happened last month with the whole Generations Legends line thing. I tried to warn people then that it would blow up in their faces and it did. If you think about it, it always happens that way. The only figures that I can recall we totally got ripped out of was the final wave of RTS scouts and no one got those. Save the takara two pack and that is expected to be a premium. Same with the last wave of DOTM deluxes. Those things were never released here and were never advertised as such. These prime Cyberverse toys were, meaning they exist in warehouses in the US. And Hasbro will not scrap finished goods.
TJ Maxx, summer of '14. Mark it down. And if I am wrong is it really that big of a loss? and I like and own all of the other cyberverse stuff, but it is an easy pass for me at scalper rates. As a matter of fact they do not even exist to me in that kind of situation. As for the deluxes, that is the only one I cannot call for sure. I would say they were scrapped all together because no one has got them at this point, but you never know.

I was not bragging. I Was stating I have 3 of them. I know where 3 are for sale currently. 2 Cases and 1 single Cyberverse Vehicle.
You also forgot to mention the Cyberverse legions which I only have confirmed for sale in Germany , Asian , Australia , Canada in very small portions. I think if they were destined for USA Shores they would of shown up by now on USA card. The RTS stuff did show up at retail for a short time. And yes the last wave of scouts were cancelled. A entire Movie Trilogy line was cancelled that featured 5 deluxes and 2 Leader Class figures. The Leader class figures were then repackaged in GDO Generations and sold in Asia. Eventually finding their way to TRU Canada. The Deluxe's were then cancelled and Evac sent to be a Universal Studios Exclusive. Soundblaster and a Version of Ratchet are planned for the Advanced Movie Trilogy Line. The figures cancelled from the DOTM for USA release were Leadfoot (Target Exclusive) , Soundwave ,Wheeljack along with Human Alliance Soundwave. If I was not to import the Cyberverse figures Internationally no one would have a chance to buy them as easily as they are able to now. It does cost money to buy and ship things you know. Just trying to recover my costs. And I only have Commander Class figures for sale. I only had a few Swerve and I literally sold those at a loss. Not that I need to explain myself to you.
