I was doing a little sleuthing at work today, and found a couple of old and new figure listings in the toys r us computer system. Edit: Only one of these, the last one, is actually something not previously reported First off, generations alt. Modes, priced at $5.99: Next, the new TRU Warrior assortment that includes Starscream, priced at $14.99: The previously known listing of a $29.99 RID Starscream figure: And lastly, something called the robots in disguise decepticon showdown, priced at $39.99:
Altmodes are those big head figures where you can change between a tiny vehicle or tiny static robot body.
Actually I haven't, the listing for the new deluxe assortment is listed as. $14. I'm basing off of that, but I'm sure some inflation will follow on the $40 price.
I expect a boxset that will have the lamest Autobot and Decepticon molds. So yeah, Bumblebee and Steeljaw sound accurate.
So both yellow? Man, I'd sure love if this set included either a new, improved Steeljaw mold, or warrior figs of some of the Decepticons who haven't gotten them. But chances are it's just a two-pack of existing figures.
Decepticon showdown huh? Starscream, and I would guess Steeljaw and maybe Thunderhoof? Definitely. Steeljaw's figure sucks. He deserves a do over badly.
