Transformers: The Last Knight Voyager Nitro and Scorn Spotted at Australian Retail

I snagged voyager Nitro and Scorn in the good old OH today. Still no eyes on Sqweeks or Cogman. They got enough Slash and Grimlocks to make a new Jurassic Park flick though.

So... I think I got the last Nitro @ $29.99. But seriously... now they're jacked up to over $100 through 3rd party sellers??? Can people seriously just "buy" them from Amazon and then warehouse them for re-sell THROUGH amazon... That shit makes it WAY TOO EASY for scalpers.... and the way Distribution has been (at least in) California... it really makes the Hunt(ing) depressing.

Yeah... BBTS is usually my go to; but I hate they're making us buy cases now. I can't blame them... But it sucks. Also their Scorn/Nitro set has been sold out for months. Feels like they're getting them slow? (What the hell Hasbro?!).

As much as I'm on the fence with Dragonstorm.... with BBTS forcing you to buy either a leader Megs or Optimus with him.... bleh.

I ain't gonna pay for a Leader Prime when I got a Calibur already. I just... man, I just can't stand that truck pack and lack of paint on Leader Prime! I wouldn't even wanna GIVE him away, and I usually do a Toys For Tots donation every year. I mean, at least a lump of coal can keep ya warm!

but the truck pack's been there since AOE, since they're basically off of the same mold(albeit maybe with the odd aesthetic changes)

It's a Takara product, made by Takara for the Japanese market, created independently from Hasbro.

So unless they make some Platinum Edition thing, it won't come over. It's the same thing with the ROTF Leader Optimus update, Buster Optimus Prime. There was never an American version.


It all come down to weird business semantics and shenanigans only businessmen and lawyers can comprehend.

I'm bummed the Dragonstorm pre-orders require you to pair him with eiter Megs or Prime. I don't want Prime and I have Megs. Well, just gonna have to wait and pray I get him in a single release, much like Cogman and Bee

Stop your whining, young lad.

The Wallgreens' equivalent in Québec, Winners, is Transformers bare for months. All they had for robots are a couple of Power Rangers Super Charge zords with their "power batteries" stolen from their packagings.

Maybe those large Rescue Bots playsets count?
Erh...............

I've seen the first-run Bumblebee shelfwarming at my local Targets. Not exactly surprising, considering that Hasbro decided to be idiots and re-use the AoE mold. Ugh. If they were going to re-use an existing tooling for Bee they should have used the DotM one since he went back to his proper design (the one that doesn't make the toy designers want to kill the art department) for TLK.

Said Targets also have lots of the big Turbo Changer Dragonstorm on the shelves. Which is quite possibly getting in the way of getting in new TR Leader-class figures because the boxes spill over into that shelfspace.
