Transformer Statues

[griffin]

Not sure if these have been mentioned here before, but found in America at Target, are a set of six plastic diorama statues from Jazwares, that combine together to form one battle scene. (not sure about it being an "iconic" scene, as per the packaging, as it doesn't look like anything I've seen in a cartoon or comic)
The set of six includes the most iconic characters - Optimus, Bumblebee, Grimlock, Megatron, Soundwave (with Laserbeak), and Starscream. Apparently Starscream is a limited edition chase figure, which is kinda stupid if this is a set that has the incentive of collecting all of them to complete the diorama. It's like having one of those build-a-figure sets with one toy being a hard to find limited figure, preventing most people from completing the bonus figure, or having to pay excessive amounts of money to get it.
They were US$8 each, and look to be about Deluxe sized, so pretty good pricing.

Extra photos at Seibertron show us the chase figure is actually a seventh figure, an unknown redeco of Starscream that can be swapped into his spot in the diorama (probably a metallic deco).

Quite like Soundwave. If it's easy to import, I'll try get one

The extra chase figure has been found - Thundercracker, which is exclusive to Walgreens in America.
If these come to Australia, we probably won't see Thundercracker, unless the local distributor (Banter) finds an outlet for them.

Only a couple days after Thundercracker was found, another chase figure has been found - Skywarp, which looks like it could be exclusive to Target in America.

Not sure if these have been seen in Australia yet, but I saw them tonight in a Toyworld for $25 each.

The connecting diorama figures?
Daaaaaaaaaamn. They are only us$8 each in America.
And I thought the expected $16 at BigW was expensive.
(and if they don't have the two exclusive redecos in Australia - Skywarp & Thundercracker - that would be a VERY expensive set for anyone here wanting them)

[Ultra Mackness]

Yeah it was the connecting diorama figs, and yes I did a double take at the price. Tbh I think $8 would be about right and $16 is already over priced, but at $25, no thanks.

I just saw them on the Mackay Toyworld site for $20 each, and they have the image of Skywarp, which is one of the two chase figures... so not sure if they actually have it, or have both chase figures.
I was really hoping that they would at least show up at BigW, as they had the other series for $16 each and likely to have sales... but the other series have been on clearance for a while now, so still no sign of the Transformers ones after about 9 months of the other two series.
