BW Megaton TM2 Dragon

[griffin]

TM2 Megatron couldn't have been that rare. I managed to find him in my town when he was released (and we missed a lot of the later toys.) I also remember seeing a massive stack (like 30 or more) of them for sale in Brisbane after Beast Wars had ended its TV run. Priced at $20 each. I'm constantly kicking myself for not buying a couple back then

Exactly how I found mine when I was a kid. Both Megs and Tigerhawk in massive quantities at $19.99 a pop on clearance at Mr Toys.

To be fair, Goktimus is in Sydney, so they don't have Toyworlds... which is where most of the stock ended up on clearance (like a lot of old excess stock over the years - which the Reject Shop now seems to be the preferred outlet).

I always heard of other people sighting and getting the Ultra TM2s in Sydney, but I never found them. And the sightings were often 'short lived,' i.e. someone would say that they found a toy somewhere, but then later someone else would report that it was sold out soon after. So they weren't exactly shelf warming, according to reports. I spent about a freakin' year searching everywhere for the Ultra TM2s in Sydney, and never could find them. I'd often zip over to place where someone reported seeing it, but by the time I got there they'd be gone. It was just massively aggravating. Fortunately for me, Hasbro USA heard about my woes and graciously sent me both toys for free.

I found Megatron in Wollongong, but I never found Tigerhawk no matter how hard I looked for. I ended up buy Tigerhawk on eBay a few years later.

Just gonna pipe on with a word on how much I love both tm2 megs and tiger hawk.

Spiggly.

[MEEEGGGAAATTTRRROOONNN!!!]

Another Sydney-sider and never saw either TM2 Megs or Tigerhawk, and I was on the hunt for them as well at the time!

I did manage to pick up a couple of the Beast Machines black recolour/mold of Tigerhawk, but never the original until only recently -- and at one hell of an inflated price!

I'm really hoping there'll be a re-release with the 20th anniversary of BW next year!

Never saw TM2 Megs in Canberra & I snatched up every Beast Wars figure I could when they were released. I have Megs towering over Cybertron (Primus in planet mode), He looks quite intimidating!

That's why I said "most" of the stock.

Its true both of those ultras were impossible to find. At the time they were meant to be out. I even called Hasbro asking if we are getting them here. They said no. So I imported them. Much later Megs showed up at Toy World for $20. Never saw a Tigerhawlk though.

I still would count them as rare. Megs never got released like he should have.
