Check out the Animated Voyagers in robot mode! I've love to get me a couple of those.
Ooh. I'll be in Malaysia very soon (KK, not KL). I might grab myself one of those annoyingly tricky-to-find here Desert Brawls. And I'll get the chance to pass up that overpriced Devastator toy, as well (:
Jay, if I have the bag room and I see those Voyagers, I might be able to grab you one. _if_ I have the bagspace. LMK if you're interested.
Oooh. Very interested in the Bulkhead. Happy to pay for shipping too. Thank you!
I'll be back SG in mid Nov so i'll check what there is for you. I did spot these packagings at TRUs when I was back in Feb this year. Didn't know anyone would want spares of them in robot mode.
I might go find the remaining Universe Voyagers like Bruticus and Vector Sigmas as well as other Animated figures. Hoping I can still find a Henkei/Classic Mirage somewhere
Alternities on shelf? Whoa.
Found at Dunedin Toyworld (New Zealand), the new Robot Heroes Battle Scene packs (the first two), plus Human Alliance, Combiner Devastator and Wave 3 Legends figures. The Warehouse in NZ also has the two Universe Deluxes we never got here (Ratchet and Hot Shot), plus more of those Universe Legends that Zippo has been selling lately.
I was over here on a snowboarding trip, and ended up coming home with a bag full of TFs instead (TFU Ratchet, Legends Mudflap, both Battlescene packs, Combiner Devastator and a TF2 robot-cast poster).
Wow griffin you managed to resist Human Alliance! :eek: This might be a good thing... :D
Autocon, Brawl was a display item in the store I found him at - so none left, sorry. No Midnight Watch Primes.
I did come across some clearanced Animated toys today at a department store, which was nice. I wasn't really interested in most of the, buty I did pick up an Atomic Lugnut for myself.
Hey,
If you look at the pic carefully, on the left button area, there is a dark version silver bolt universe classic, right?
It has a decepticon name but it is actually silver bolt repaint. It is TRU exclusive selling 70$ today. I think the box in photo even have TRU tag on it!
My question is, where are they from? Aren't they are supposed to only in TRU?
It could be, as far as I know. And exclusives aren't the same internationally. We've had US Target Exclusives sold at Australian Toys 'R' Us, US Kay-Bee exclusives sold at Australian Myer, US Target Exclusives sold at Australian David Jones, US Sam's Club exclusives sold at Australian Big W and so on - the list is nearly endless.

Spotted at TOYS R US in one of the shopping mall in Johor Bahru (malaysia).
Can't remember exact price so only approx:
MP Grimlock ~ RM499 (AUD 165)
MP Sunstorm ~ RM450 (AUD 150)
MP Prowl ~ RM 300-330 (AUD100-110)
MP Acid storm ~ RM399 (AUD130)
Retailed more expensive than australia's. I'm perplexed on how the collector's afford/tolerate such ridiculous pricing RRP here. I suppose u'd only buy with some sort of discount or offer in place

Price too much to even mention
Those MP cars boxes look suspiciously shiny. KO's?
If you anywhere near Yexel's Toy Museum, it looks like an interesting place to check out. Looks like it's his personal collection of toys, props and movie memorabilia.

TRU Makati Philippines has started roling out Generations IDW Windblade along with her batch mates Crosscut, Jhiaxus and Nightbeat ...
So I got desperate and couldn't source any motormaster from amazon cause prices are insane. Decided to checkout taobao in China and found the official hasbro store on there sells all the wave 1 and 2 CW for reasonable price. 128 yuan for a deluxe and 189 for a legend. Works out to be about $27 and $39. In case anyone was interested.
Sorry yeah I mean voyager for $39. Bought motormaster.
Here is link if anyone wanna just a look.

Obviously doesn't have international shipping if anyone have relo or friends in china or going there for holiday.
For those that missed out on the Hasbro reissue of MP-10 Optimus Prime with The Key to Vector Sigma BBTS seems to have some stock right now. I would get it but I'd rather put my money towards UW/CW stuff. http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/p...52&mode=retail
Just spotted this at Singapore Changi Airport

For those of you travelling to Asia over the next month or two Toys R Us is running a RID2015 promotion in store (in Hong Kong at least... often the same promotional give-away turns up in Singapore) giving a RID 2015 set of crayons free with a spend over HK$300 of RID 2015 Transformers while stocks last. https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3788/...0fcd962c_z.jpg

I purchased Mega Optimus to get mine.
So these aren't toys, but just released in Crocs stores in Hong Kong - Robots in Disguise 2015 Crocs ... I brought the Optimus pair for my son (as photographed) but the other option was Bumblebee. Not cheap at HK$350 a pair but I'm a sucker for Prime and thankfully my son is too!

The crocs have been posted up as news on TFW... you should post up your photos there as well, if you haven't already.
I'm throwing this up here incase anyone is interested.
I was in the Causeway Bay Toys R Us today and they had cleared the end of their Transformers section and replaced it with this:
https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5629/...c3d61b67_n.jpg
SDCC Devastator and the Combiner Hunter girls ON SHELF.
They also had this guy:
https://farm1.staticflickr.com/693/2...fddc95bd_n.jpg
He actually looks a whole lot nicer than traditional coloured OP (can't believe I'm saying that!) and has interchangeable faceplate... I almost brought him but as I tend not to collect black Primes and don't know what a good price for him is (and Toys R Us are normally more expensive than elsewhere) I reluctantly skipped getting him.
They also had CW Starscream (lots of him) and Battle Core Optimus Prime, but none of the Optimus Maximum limbs.
That's really expensive for those SDCC toys. That's about AU$300 for Devastator.
Hasbro must have produced a LOT of them to have excess at both SDCC and at the HK Con, for there to be stock being sold off at the Hasbro Toy Shop and HK TRU stores.
Hopefully this will force Hasbro to cut back on the extravagance and expense of these SDCC exclusives. As wonderful as some have been, I think they've been going a little too far with some... and not far enough for the expense of others (like Metroplex and Devastator).
I agree with everything you've said there which is part of the reason I posted this.
Horrid exchange rate aside, Devi isn't worth that price and I'm curious to see if he shelf warms... can you imagine it - regular Devi sold out at Big W in Oz while "exclusive" SDCC Devi sits on shelves for months in HK...
Personally I'm getting a bit annoyed that [insert show] exclusives are being sold on regular mass toy store shelves. The whole point of these exclusives is that they are something limited and special you have to put a bit of effort into getting - be it going to a show or trying to get in quick to secure them from official online sources (I lined up for 1/2 an hour to get our sets of Combiner Warriors from HKACG (and they "sold out" at the show)). It seems like a lot of the "exclusive stuff" is getting much bigger production runs and isn't all that limited after all which defeats the purpose of marketing them as anything special in the first place.
Don't get me wrong - love the CW girl repaints, just wish we had known they would become general release so we didn't stress out about trying to secure them at HKACG.
I'm kinda both ways... I like having some items as exclusives to make it extra special for those able to get one, and that it doesn't upset those people who did go to that extra trouble or expense just to find them more readily available later. But since we are on the ass-end of the world in terms of Transformers, for the benefit of fellow Australian fans, I sorta don't mind if exclusives are made more available, because they are usually not released here.
G2 Superion has been found at Chinese retail 550 rmb ($au121)
