Transformers Combiner Wars Victorion is Now Available Online

Got my order in at Target! Free shipping at $25 and up is a no-brainer.

Tfsource and bbts changed it to preorder. Shoulda ordered last night when it was instock but I'm still wondering if I should order or just wait to find one in the whild. Seems more secure to just order

I'll find out more Monday; but I was under the impression BBTS should be shipping mine out (versus Pre-Order) that said... kinda wish I went with Target.... That's what I get for working Graveyards and jumping the gun. I am curious if these will be in stores tho.

Same. There have been reports of people finding them with photos to prove and I've been checking but no luck so far. Doesn't seem like an item that would be in stores but if that $200 Star Wars tie fighter can be sold in stores why not this I suppose.

Were there any in store sightings in the states though?

Because tie fighters have a real fan base.

Not going to argue that, Victorion is a totally new character, the only reason a parent would buy it for a kid is because they might think it looks cool. Thats a chance most stores wont take. A Tie Fighter has much better odds of being recognized, wanted and aquired.

Other than LEGO or video games (which seem to always get a pass) general retail stuff that ends up at or north of $100 seems to shelf-warm unless it's Christmas Time.

I think what bothers me about stores not stocking Vicky (though again, I can understand why) is some kids who might truly enjoy her, won't even know she exists.

Off-topic. I'd have expected Rey's Speeder in a Starwars Black Vehicle line over a Tie-Fighter (size/cost-wise). But that's another completely different conversation to have (on another forum?).



also colors are breaking on the webpage, but not in the forums proper... strange.

Found ordering from the link on the page to be a hassle (no-loading on payment page), so I went to the normal Target website and ordered it just fine. Might keep her in a box for 30 days until a cheaper option can be found.

PASS!

BBTS think they're doing someone a favor given who ridiculous the scalpers are selling Groove on Amazon.

I'll wait for a more reasonable price.

You know......this is a nice option for those who want to order Groove, and didn't already get him from overseas online retailers. Definitely put in an order for Loudpedal, though. I'll take any MP Decepticons I can get at this point.

Because of COURSE he's sold out within minutes. Awesome. ;/

that didn't last long.

Luckily I've already got my Groove, but haven't decided if I'll use him for Defensor or not yet.

He didn't sell out within minutes. The listing was up since around midnight. Try a few hours. As soon as I got home, four hours in, I snatched him up.

There will be lots of regret when he shows up at HTS with his intended retail price: http://www.dorksidetoys.com/Transformer ... 826as0.htm

And its too bad everyone just encouraged BBTS to continue these premium price practices.

My guess is that HTS is waiting for the MAYMAYHEM 15% off code to expire today before they release him on their site. But even then, regular retail is much better than the inflated prices on BBTS.

It's insurance. I am willing to pay that price for this figure, due to it's limited availability. If he shows up on Amazon for cheaper, I'll get him there. But, I no longer have the ability to hang out on the Internet hitting refresh until the figure becomes available. Perhaps Groove will be available well after this weekend, like Quickslinger and Brake Neck last year. But I don't want to risk it. This is a reason I am okay paying a bit more with a retailer like BBTS.

It's all capitalism. I find it a bit harsh that BBTS is considered a scalper. If people are willing to pay the price, we do. If not, then the choice to wait on HTS or Amazon is very valid too. Capitalism!

Well said! Plus it's BBTS, you can always cancel your order if you can get it from HTS at retail when it goes up, better safe then sorry.

It might as well have been minutes for those of us who were already in bed when the preorder went live and didn't see it until 5:30 this morning.

That may be the saddest thing of all. If HTS waits until their May Mayhem coupon expires to release their May Mayhem figures, that's just disappointing. Almost as bad as putting up Christmas lights in August, but taking them down Christmas Eve.

Since this isn't one of HTS's regular items, the code wouldn't work on it anyway. The same thing happens any time they have a coupon code and a leftover con-exclusive item at the same time. They're probably waiting for the code to end before releasing Goove so that they don't get a deluge of "Why isn't my code working" emails.
The x-mas light analogy is pretty apt, though.

I can get behind all this

That's strange as the text for the coupon specifically says "Excludes HasbroToyShop.com exclusives and gift cards" which would include con-exclusives like the SDCC sets, but Groove isn't an HTS exclusive, it's an online only item.

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!

Got mine 3 weeks ago. He's awesome. I like Rook a lot and have been totally cool with the new limbs but putting him in Defensor really does make him feel complete. It's just a sense of satisfaction

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.

I went ahead and pre-ordered with Scramble, but I've never done business with them before. anyone have any insight?

Guess I happened to check BBTS just in time, if someone above says they were sold out by 5:30. I just had a whim to check somewhere around 4:45 or so and got my order in.

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 preorder is back up and no longer out of stock

Updated the article on availaility: http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/ ... ted/35428/

Anybody heard word if TF Source pre-orders will be up soon?

Death has ordered - for... review purposes of course....

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

I pre-ordered one.

Does anyone think any Canadian retaillers/stores will have him? I really do want him but I'm still on the fence about ordering from Australian or american stores at the moment.

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.
