yeah I'd have preferred the colours more like his Legends predecessor.

I think the head being black makes all the difference. Would be nice if the guns were silver or black. Bright pink guns don't look very intimidating.

So...has there been any confirmation yet...Since the clones are being released as exclusive sets, does that mean the two remaining proposed Box Sets have been cancelled? I was thankfully not getting them for the clones, as odd as it sounds I was getting them for the leaders in spite of them being repaints/retools. I know everyone pretty much had different reasons for getting them. Now my only fear is that if the other two are not released, there may be no domestic release of God Bomber.

It probably seems like a reason for the clones are being released is so they can be released somehow with their boxsets being cancelled - and that's a valid conclusion - but there's been nothing said on it yet and I feel they're still coming; for all we know this was likely their plan all along. To me this just means that the remaining boxsets will have Legends class repaints we've been wanting like Eject

That would actually be great. But it is odd that with Wave 5 starting to come out in some areas, we have heard nothing about Wave 6 beyond Deluxe Slugslinger.

All will be revealed at SDCC and/or Hascon. Not long to go now~

I just got conformation from RobotKingdom that the two pack is indeed Cloudraker and Wingspan, the Walgreens Exclusive.

I'm debating on cancelling the order, unless there is proof of the Amazon exclusive being released, or some two pack with the other two. No way am I paying $250+ for the box sets. F-YOU SCALPERS!!!!!

Is it me, Or Misfire's face looks like exactly from Highbrow?

White unamused face and a visor within a box-looking head?

It's similar, but not the same no.

The way i see Highbrow now, the scarier it looks...

Finally seeing wave5 voyagers in Oregon!
And Cybertron at TRU -- but fu~ @ $150

Okay, even accounting for the post-ROTF shrinkage of Transformers in general, that is still ridiculous for a redecoed Unicron Trilogy Supreme-class.

Agreed, Zelda -- how could anyone justify spending $150 on him when they could have Titan Trypticon for the same price??

This could just be a classic case of TRU's price-gouging policy. They always charge a premium for their merchandise above and beyond the MSRP and what other retailers will ask for the same product. For some reason, Toys "R" Us seems to think it's an "upscale" store and it loyal customers will pay more just to say they shopped their instead of the dreaded "Walmart." I think this has something to do with their previous ties to FAO Schwartz, you know, before they went under for charging outrageous prices for their toys too.

Most of TRU's price-gouging is by a margin of 2-3 dollars though, from what I've seen. And I would put that down to them being a strictly-toys store instead of a general goods store like Target.

The image can be viewed below for one's convenience.

So I did a sweep at a couple of locations today and one yesterday...nothing!

Did the lucky fan state where or what state they found it in? My huge thanks in advance!

Keep in mind, though, that this is a TRU Exclusive release, so they essentially hold all the cards with the pricing. There is absolutely no competition for this figure at any other retailer.

Blacklai is in Asia.

Only the hope that this arrives at Ross Dress for Less at less than half of MSRP remains....

All right, Robotkingdom has an announcement that they have TR Overlord available now.

I don't think it is out yet in the US. The photo that showed the Walgreen's sticker was likely someone in the factory. We are likely a couple weeks (possibly more) away from them showing up in stores in the US.

If you have Amazon Prime and don't yet have Sky Shadow, here is a great deal for $39.61 shipped.

Everyone's going crazy about the clones not being entirely exclusive to the larger box sets and here I am,dealing with the reality that I'll never get that Voyager Tidal Wave on its own for a reasonable price because that is 100% locked to a box set full of stuff that I have no interest in.

They are also taking pre-orders for the Chaos on Velocitron set at $99.99 expected to be in 7/10/17, for anyone who wanted it and missed out

Also apparently TRU had a pre-order on Trypticon (who knew??) they are sold-out however and will ship on 8/1. Hopefully this is around when we will start seeing them in North America.
