I likeep that one of them says that it won't be available until October.

Thanks for the heads-up, WJ; unfortunately, my usual go-to place was sold out on preorders, but I was able to snag an order on Scramble Core. Didn't go the Entertainment Earth way because of that predicted October release!

I pulled the trigger on Scramble Core as well, but that shipping price . I usually do bulk shipping through BBTS, AmiAmi, or wait for free shipping from HTS. I've got my one now, but I'm going to wait until HTS has them before getting a set of 4 to make a groovy Defensor.

The price. Frankly I didn't know what anyone else was charging. I ordered from BBTS because I've ordered from them a lot before and they've always done right by me. Would I have liked to pay less? Sure. But frankly I'm less bothered paying voyager price for a deluxe than I was a month back when I paid deluxe price for a legend Shockwave on Amazon (BBTS didn't have it or I would have ordered from them).

BBTS says the figures are supposed to arrive for shipping 'by late May'. That's kind of here already, isn't it?

A canadien retailer did have him but it is now sold out: https://www.canucktibles.ca/products/co ... uxe-groove
Also, Ages 3 and Up might have him too but not yet: http://www.agesthreeandup.com/search.ph ... ve&x=0&y=0
It will probably never be at walmart.ca or tru.ca or amazon.ca because they did not participate in may mayhem last year. Your best bet will probably to get him at amazon.com when they restock.

Also, a local store in Montreal had last year Quickslinger and the Wildrider figure in july. I sent a message to ask if they will have Groove in stock. If they don't, I might pick him up from an american one. Hopefully, TFsource will also have him.
Yeah, that was toys on fire. But those are importers, they dont get their merchadise from Hasbro and sell at a premium. They might get groove, but they would sell him for 30$ +tax minimum. Thats how much they were selling Arcee for.

I have pre-ordered my Groove from them.

I'm waiting for amazon. Hasbro just released info saying its coming to retailers today. It is more unlikely that the familiar places dont stock him than they do. especially since they had them last year. Aside from BBTS, its all small places we dont frequent often. That doesnt make any sense.
But hey do as you wish. But I am pretty confident I will own one sooner and for cheaper just by waiting a bit longer.

Heh, I already paid $160 for a Groove. Yeah, I'll likely be selling my UW Defensor set at some point...

kurthy wrote:Hey, WJ, where do I post that HTS has a price drop on most of the Generations line? The only exceptions are the CW boxed sets, CW Blades, and those items no longer in stock. It looks to be about 20%, but even the Leaders are discounted so people can now get CW Ultra Magnus for $36 American. You can pretty much tell which ones are sold out now because they are still at regular price like Shockwave, First Aid, and Air Raid.

You stalking me bro? Yes, even if groove is the best motorcycle transformer ever, it's not worth $40

Please remember to write your opinion when I post a certain list that pertains to the very subject in 2 weeks.

As of 12:30 PM CDT, I get the same. #GladIOrderedBBTS
[Edit] And in a great coincidence, I just got my notification that BBTS has Groove in. Shipping!
[Edit2] Now Amazon is now letting me order, calling the availability a "back order." Perhaps they are sifting through people ordering large quantities... At any rate, with tax, it comes to $18.23, just $6 and change less than BBTS. I'm okay with my BBTS order at this point...

I thought Motormaster as the weakest core, however I found and bought Battlecore Optimus in Amazon Mexico at an excellent price reduction (from 31 uds to 10 usd), and I liked the mold, not as much as Silverbolt or Hot Spot, but the thing is better on hand than in the photos.
That made me decide to buy the Menasor set, but still I'm hunting for a good price, that's why I'm not going for the UW set, it's not worth that much money (plus shipping)

Dont know about the US but Canada has stock both online and in stores. And someone in mexico can order the G2 set from an online retailer like bigbadtoystore, which will be listing him soon.

All who wish to obtain this fruity box set should stampede there mindlessly and place their orders. Sadly, I know of no promo code to enter for a discount at this time. Many other figures are on sale, but not these. Anyone who knows a secret code for this month, pass it along For the moment, there is only free shipping, but they do that for any order over $50 this month.
I'm off to reap a fruity harvest - good luck!

Unlike the previous G2 Combiner Wars releases, G2 Bruticus keeps the same molds as the original released at standard retail, whose gallery can be seen here.
