Transformers questions by newbies, and not-so-newbies

I'm assuming so, but do people know if we arre definetly getting CW Blackjack here?

I'm pretty sure I've seen Blackjack on the pegs at Myer & Target (?) - so safe bet he'll be around somewhere.

I'm not sure if I will go with the UW Devastator or CW Devastator so I'm thinking if I should buy the Hasbro version at the toy sale and leave it MISB till Takara get around to releasing pictures of theres.

What happened to the price of Titan Metroplex after the initial sales? Did he hold his value or did he suffer the same fate as many big figures and start selling below retail?

If I recall correctly, Titan Metroplex pretty much sold out at Target at usual retail/toy sale prices. There were sightings though of Myer having him on clearance later.

I also recall Costco coming into the picture very late & pretty much undercutting price of other retailers. Can't remember exact price though.

[BruiseLee]

Think Costco wasn't too much later in the game. I got mine from the Target sales at $120 give or take and the missus saw it at Costco a few weeks later at just over $100.

I picked up Metroplex for about $100 when Big W got him but it was a long time after everyone else had it.

[SuspectimusPrime]

Would be sweet if Costco could pull that sort of deal again.

[griffin]

I am expecting it, as this large toy will need the same sort of mass release to as many chains as possible, like we saw with Metroplex and the Ultimate Movie Bumblebee (both of which ended up as whole pallets to Costco stores).

[UltimateGalvatron]

Is there a Transformers RPG? Official or fan made? (Preferably G1, Unicron Trilogy or Aligned)

Whats the difference between the first Combiner Wars Optimus and the new Combiner Wars Optimus Maximus they are trying to flog?
