Japan exclusive United Targetmasters

[Doubledealer]

Hi all,

For those who don't know, three PCC minicons have been repurposed as Targetmasters for Blurr, Kup & Scourge as part of the United line of Transformers. These are only available in certain stores in Japan...And online.

The best deal I've found is from ehobby's ebay store which includes the Targetmasters for both Blurr & Scourge for AU$70 inc shipping. There are only 4 sets left so I suggest getting in there quickly if you really want them. Here's the link: http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI....#ht_1155wt_905

If someone finds a decently priced Recoil please let us all know!

Haha, you know you want them! I personally never had the Targetmasters to go with the G1 toys and didn't want to miss out again...Just hope Recoil pops up for sub-$40 somewhere, would be awesome to complete the set.

Neat Idea, horrible price point.

I would have bought it if it were more reasonably priced.

Yeah I was tempted but after some deliberation, they are still too pricey. I know they're limited, but compare them to FP sidearm for $10 and I cant justify them.

They're way too pricey for Mini-Cons, I don't care how exclusive they are. I have Fracas (got it for free when I a min. purchase of 3000JPY at Bic Camera) -- it's just a repaint of Chainclaw. I'm satisfied with him since he was a freebie with my purchase, but I definitely wouldn't pay a premium price for him.

For anyone who wants to know:
+ Recoil: Toys R Us exclusive
+ Fracas: Bic Camera & Yodobashi Camera exclusive
+ Haywire: Yamada Denki exclusive
(all free with a purchase of 3000JPY or more).

Also a lot of vendors don't openly advertise or offer this, you may have to ask about it at the time of purchase (after which they'll oblige you).

hhhm prolly just get the minicons ( same mold) from the PCC partners , will wait for a sale when I buy the extra figures, I prefer colored ones rather than the black and gray color for it, were it cheaper though prolly, thanks for pointing out the sale Double d as someone who's willing to buy some at least has access to it.

[Doubledealer]

Well, I'm looking forward to 'em at least. I can appreciate they're pretty pricey though and this will outweigh the benefits for most.

Here's a coupla pics of the little fellas in action:

Maybe... you may get lucky.
As Goktimus said, when I got mine with my purchases, I had to ask them if they had them cos its not advertised in the shops and at the TRU, they didn't even know they existed til I mentioned it.
