Transformers Titans Return Legends Rewind Sighted at Italian Retail

Dr Va'al wrote:A first European sighting of the Transformers Titans Return line comes from the often neglected land of Italy, and fan Mattia Sanges of Transformers Italia! Legends class Rewind was spotted and pocketed at the Carrefour store in Carnate (Monza and Brianza, in the North) for the price of 12,90€ (approx $14.50 USD), though it was also the only figure from its wave, never mind the rest of the line.

If you come across any sightings yourself, make sure to help out fellow fans by updating our database and various threads. Happy weekend hunting!

Well, now I just have to sit back and wait until people start spotting these figures here in the United States of America.

Isn't that the US packaging? It has the 4 languages (English, French, Spanish and Portugese), plus EU packaging usually omit the "tm" next to the names.

OMG, I think that is the U.S. packaging!

Huh, that is very odd. Maybe Nemesis Maximo or someone can say their two cents about this to enlighten us all?

Well, I do live in the U.S. and I see that packaging every single time I go shopping. In fact, I keep all the packaging, so there's currently a giant box full of cardboard underneath my bed! (I think I need to get help for my hoarding problem.)

Keep it there until such a time to where you want to record a video to show the world all the insects nesting under there.

Just a question: Are the TR U.S. deluxes coming with comics?

I think there's already a colony of spiders living down there and no, the Titans Return Deluxes will not be coming with comics.

That is a HUGE shame. Maybe wave 1 doesn't kinda like Combiner Wars?

Nope, it's already been confirmed that every Deluxe in Titans Return will not include comics. If you would like proof, I suggest you check out the stock images of the figures for the first 2 waves.

That sucks man. That sucks. I guess if they left the comics out so they'd have more money to make the toys better, I guess that's okay though.

I honestly don't mind them not including comics. Since I don't read the comics, whenever I got a Deluxe Class figure from Thrilling 30th or Combiner Wars, I got a comic where I had no clue what was going on.

Yeah true, but it was nice to have them for the artwork and collectability.

That's true, though I honestly believe it was for the best, so people who don't read the IDW comics aren't conpletely confused and so they can put a little nore money into the figures themselves.

To be fair, the combiner wars comics weren't brilliantly executed.
Don't get me wrong, it's IDW and IDW is god. But thete was no real rhyme, reason or correlation to which comics were packed with which figure, and they weren't easy to add to your collection not just due to the edits, but because they were so random and ramshackle. They wete only really good for a little peek at what IDW was like.
At least in Generations, while this still held true for the most part - Skywarp's comic has him in the background on one panel on one page, nice - at least with say, Trailbreaker he came with spotlight: trailbreaker. This works as a standalone issue, is relevant to the toy and gives insight onto at least one version of the character you just bought.
Meanwhile, if you bought First Aid? Have fun with this contextless random issue of RiD which you don't even get the comic number of so you can't easily look for which comics immediately precede or follow it.

*grabs the comic that came with CW First Aid* Uuuhhh... I'm looking at the bottom left corner of the inside cover, where it clearly says in large bolded letters, Transformers Combiner Wars #12. So yeah, it does say what issue it is. Am I the only person on the planet who found out that the issue numbers are on the inside covers in large bolded letters?

I mean to be fair - and to be my own devil's advocate - they were free gifts which is difficult to complain about. And I am glad to have a small little collection of random idw comics now, just... That's all it is. A random little collection. Not as great as having a trade collection or eveb a few standalones. Being a bit of a broken record but it only worked well for cases like Trailbreaker and Hoist.

To be fair, if they were a self-enclosed entity, they would have been nice - if I had bought them all... and that's really what it boils down to, was that it was a secondary incentive to buy all the deluxes, which means that not doing so would leave you with a fragmented story at best, and mean that they were ultimately worthless in this case (which, I would imagine would be most of the time for us - or most people)... so, yeah, I'm glad they're gone, I'd rather the budget for them was put into paint apps, or something worthwhile

So alright, say you got every CW deluxe (ironhidesh' greatest nightmare). You can look inside the covers of the comics, and see what order they go in. Great. Brilliant. You now have an actual reading order so these can start making sense.
So where do these fit into the actual RiD comics' numbering? Okay, I know it's "Combiner Wars 12", but how does that help me find where in the comic series it happened outside of the ones that happened to be packed with the deluxes?
... I'm going on too much about this. This is what happens when titans don't bother returning

Yeah, those Titans need to return faster.

Don't forget that CW wave 1 was all international packaging, so we didn't get the first four issues of CW comics. (Well, #3 came in Quickslinger...)

So, yeah, I guess I am glad they are not packing them into TR. It means that I don't have to buy every last one of them just to get the comics...

Of course, I'm so addicted that I will still likely buy every last one, but one can hope....or one's wallet can hope, I guess...

See, what they really should of done was make each issue a standalone story that tied into the idea of combiner wars but telling individual tales instead of lazy reprints.

It could of been the perfect opportunity to showcase the best aspects of the IDWverse but it was flawed heavily.

Making a comic book is quite a process. It would take months of planning alongside the planning for the toy...not to mention the creative side of writing a story that doesn't suck...

Yyyyeah, while I am saying cases like Trailbreaker are far better, I wouldn't expect - and certainly wouldn't want purely put of concern for the idw guys - a standalone comic made for every single deluxe. Hell, the IDW CW tie-in done enough damage as is. While I'm stating their randomness and irrelevance as a flaw... It is something that one has to accept regardless going in. Unless they all had spotlights or the like before, it just wouldn't work out well for anyone.

Lol I was mostly saying that just because it was you saying it.

But yes, on one hand I am disappointed, but on the other, I'd rather the money go into improving the figures.

Does anybody else feel that these Titans aren't returning fast enough? I'm already prepared for my wallet to suffer because if this line.

I was trying to day that I'm ready for these figure to come out over here in the United States because I already have money set aside for the Titanmasters, a Legend Class figure, and a Deluxe Class figure.

Yeah I am wanting to hopefully get a TR figure or two when they come out. I think they are gonna appear at U.S. retail around my birthday which is July 7th. What do you think? Should I get a deluxe and a legends figure like Blurr and Wheelie, or should I get a voyager like Sentinel Prime?

SillySpringer wrote:What do you think? Should I get a deluxe and a legends figure like Blurr and Wheelie, or should I get a voyager like Sentinel Prime?

At the end of the day, it's your decision. Personally, 100% yes to Wheelie, sure, he's annoying like you, but unlike you, he's a damn good looking figure.

As for Deluxe ... again, personally, I'd go one of the "traditional" Headmasters like Hardhead.

IF you want a Voyager, skip Sentinel and just go for the Astrotrain repaint, he'll look better in your collection.

Gotta agree with Burn, the plastics used for Sentinel look absolutely dreadful - much to my dismay...

You snarky blighter!

Wheelie does look excellent. I also am definitely getting Blurr at some point, but I was wondering if I should put him off for the sake of getting a larger figure. I do like Astrotrain a heck of a lot better than Sentinel. And although I am probably gonna have to get Galvatron to go with the other season 3 guys, he looks too pathetic for a first figure to get from a line.

Hellscream9999 wrote:But, he has really funny looking wrists, and he likes blurr...

Which is why I said "personally.

I have no real interest in Blurr. While he may not be overly representative of his G1 self, I like the CHUG Blurr in my collection. (Though if I see him in stores my opinion may change)

SillySpringer wrote:I also am definitely getting Blurr at some point, but I was wondering if I should put him off for the sake of getting a larger figure.

Dude, no. You want him, you get him. You clearly want him more than any of the larger figures, so why put him on hold for something you don't want as much? Do you really want to run the risk of him selling out and you're forced to the secondary market to find him? All for the sake of getting a larger figure?

He seems nice, but the lackluster paintjob is a real turn off, if I can get him for ~$10, I'll nab him.

Based on the way people were/are scrambling to get the Legends Blurr, I don't think he'll have a problem getting a tr version

Yeah that was what I was thinking. I should get him when I can. He's a way better Blurr also than the older Generations one. I think getting characters I am way more familiar with and love is more important that getting a larger one mostly because of its pretty orange color and sheer size.

I have a feeling that kids seeing him in stores are gonna like him a lot more than most collectors.

SillySpringer wrote:Yeah true, but it was nice to have them for the artwork and collectability.

Since they were all reprints of comics already available in print, they offered very little collectability. And the artwork can be seen in the original comics which are far more collectable. Many actually preffered the cards since they were unique and some even featured different artwork than the box, giving people this different artwork in print form. Also, having the cards for the aerialbots but not air raid pissed a lot of people off.

They were probably the one of only two things that were nostalgic for me in CW, I was sad when I heard that I wouldn't be getting any other cards from the deluxes

Meanwhile in the UK, we got cards with all the deluxes.
I only have comics because I bought Swindle, Brawl etc. from Kapow and Amazon who imported them because hahaha UK distribution

Amazing advice, that's exactly the route I am personally taking as well. Hasbro went all out on those original headmasters, it is really a sight to behold.

DigitalBrave3 wrote:Does anybody else feel that these Titans aren't returning fast enough? I'm already prepared for my wallet to suffer because if this line.

Well, they are coming exactly when Hasbro said they would come, in the second half of the year with saturation in the fall. So that means this:
They will first show up on shelves late this month early next month
It will be sparse sightings at first, with some stores getting one box or none
This will keep happening till late august/early september where you should see them sticking around on the shelves. Then again it seems Skylynx never reached saturation in the states (meaning everyone who wants one has one at one of their local stores) so who knows.

But in short, some of us will be owning these within a month's time

Just saw the prices for the deluxe and voyagers on bbts, not sure why they're being marked up so much, guess they don't care as most of them have sold out (save blurr *snigger*)

Nah, just something I said earlier was that with everyone scrambling to get TT's blurr, tr blurr would be easy to get, then to open bbts and see him be the only pre-order not sold out was hilarious

Since they were all reprints of comics already available in print, they offered very little collectability. And the artwork can be seen in the original comics which are far more collectable. Many actually preffered the cards since they were unique and some even featured different artwork than the box, giving people this different artwork in print form. Also, having the cards for the aerialbots but not air raid pissed a lot of people off.

Wasn't the cover art different for the CW pack-in comics than the original run? That alone can make them more collectible (and the likely smaller print run than the original issues). Additionally, there were design sketches and artist notes about the included figure at the back. It is enough different to be desirable to at least one comic collector with two thumbs....this guy!

I do think the cards could have been super awesome! As has been mentioned before, I wish they would have taken a page from the old baseball cards and include the awesome figure art on the front like they did, but had bio and abilities on the back. I suppose this would have been problematic for TR as technically many of these are two figures...robot and Titanmaster.

Ya. Is that the new MSRP? I almost pulled the trigger on a pre-order just to get some early candy, but changed my mind. If that's the new MSRP, surely Target and Walmart will knock a buck or two off there shelf price, like what was the case on CW toys.
