Link doesn't work, but here we go:

So these figures will only be available via this set then?
Wonder if they might be released separately at a later date.
Link to the set on the TRU HK website:

That box art is glorious :eek:
Just been informed by TRU Aus on their FB page that they don't know how much it will be or if they will be getting it in at all. :mad:
*IF* they do get it in, I'm predicting a $300 price tag. Just watch.:rolleyes:
5 figures. :rolleyes:
My only question is whether Takara will be doing singles so I don't have to buy the lot.
Looking at the TRU HK page, the reservation period ends April 3rd, and the toy is to be released at the end of April... so it might mean that they won't be released in stores, the stores will only get in enough stock to cover pre-orders.
I have a feeling that they would still have some stock on shelves... but maybe not a lot, as the pre-orders would be where they will be getting the bulk of the sales.
The exchange rate at the moment (1 to 5.97) means that the set would cost about AU$170 (as noted in the first post)... or about AU$180 at most banking rates. That is actually a little less than what the individual figures would cost (about $195), and they would be in cheaper "retail" packaging.
Hopefully both 5-packs show up here... for a respectable price.

The 5-figure Chaos on Velocitron set features a figure at each Titans Return scale: 1 Leader Class, 1 Voyager Class, 1 Deluxe Class, 1 Legends Class, and 1 Titan Master figure. The Titan Master figure becomes the head for the Deluxe, Voyager, and Leader Class figures.
The pack features five special edition figures, including a special edition Titan Master figure with die-cast parts, and a special edition Legends Class clone character figure available for the first time since 1987.
It's Chaos on Velocitron as the fastest bots in the universe race for dominion over the power of speed. Rodimus Prime and the Autobots must prevent the power from falling into the hands of the sinister Decepticons.
Figure Specs:
Leader Class Quickswitch
Voyager Class Laser Prime
Deluxe Class Autobot Nautica
Legends Class Fastclash
Titan Master Rodimus Prime
The moment RK or PC has it on preorder I'm buying. Too risky to wait for retail
Spoke too soon. http://www.robotkingdom.com/just-lis...17/trucov.html
Rk has it now, but with shipping it came to US $207. Don't want to know what that is in AUD, but I sleep soundly knowing Nautical is safe
I'm sure ppl will order the set and eventually sell off figures not wanted, I know I'd only be interested in Fastclash :D
Gotta admit I find Nautica a bit disappointing. Just blurr with fan wings. Not that I've read the comic, not have I even seen Nautica, so for all I know it could look just like her.....:o:D
Only really interested in Fastlane and Nautica from these guys. I too hope that TT release them separately, which I think is fairly likely. Wouldn't be surprised if there is a clone two pack in the works.
Clone pack would be awesome! *fingers crossed* ... coupled also with the fact the TT ones usually have my preferred colours.
Really wish they would announce the next waves, Hasbro is getting much further ahead with releases
This is out in America now, at ToysRUs stores for US$100... so if it is coming here, it might be soon.
The names might pop up in online material/extended bios.
Looking at the box set in those pictures it looks more and more like a BotCon set for a 2017 Botcon that will never happen...
Meh...meh...meh...oh hey, new Fastlane, that could be cool if they do a 2-pack with the other guy someday...meh.
Pass.
Seriously, I'd love a decent Nautica toy, but this ain't it. Ditto for Quickswitch - it was actually seeing he was a straight-up recolour of Sixshot (with newhathead!) that made me pick up the FansProject equivalent recently.:(
That was my first thought when looking at the inner tray, with the box art and the minor mould changes like new heads/faces, and the wings for Nautica. (except the new legends mould though)
Even the flashy name of the set and the odd grouping of characters screams out "FunPub" BotCon.
Yep the tray photos is what put the thought in my head too, and rest became apparent from there.
I preordered it for just quickswitch , i don't know what im going to do with the rest.
Anyway i hope the preorder gets fulfilled.
Just got a shipping notice for this set from robotkingdom:)
Its now out of stock at robotkingdom
Just received an email from TRU Australia, looks like they may not be stocking this set:
"hi, I was wondering whether you will be obtaining any stock of the Transformers: Generations Chaos on Velocitron 5 Pack Action Figure Set and if so when you expect to receive stock and the expected price. Thanks."
"Thank you for your inquiry.
Unfortunately it does not look like we will be stocking this item, there doesn't seem to be any information in our system to suggest that we will be stocking this."
Could be too early but I tend to think we just won't have any luck here. Time to try source from overseas before I get slugged GST on the purchase...
Yeah, I got mine off EBay last week at $220AU shipped. I didn't want to risk not being able to get it locally. And overseas sources are fairly slim atm also.
Edit: And it more than likely WILL arrive at TRU Australia at a super low price now that I have bought one from overseas. Happens all the time with me:):D
Just gonna wait for more stock of this to be made available rather than fight on ebay for it.
For those interested in this set... the Velocitron set has just popped up on Amazon (sold by Amazon) for US$100 plus US$25 for shipping (for one).
I ordered two (one for me and one for a friend) and it came to AU$338... which is AU$170 each (the same price as in HK without shipping), and 15% less than the price it would be in Australia if ToysRUs ends up selling it here.
This unexpected, as it is supposed to be a TRU exclusive in America like everywhere else, so Amazon shouldn't be able to sell it.
It doesn't get released until June 17th, so it will be interesting to see what happens on that date. (at least with Amazon it's not too much to worry about, because if it was a mistaken listing, or it wasn't meant to be available to export, they will refund the money quickly and easily)
I don't have the money to pay for 2 sets right off the bat, is anyone able to order if I send them half the cash?
Showing as unavailable to me :(
God damnit, the one time I wasn't kinda OCD checking for this set and it comes and goes. Lets hope for more soon!
