The good news: TLK wave 1 deluxes (Barricade, Berserker, Bumblebee, Slash) are now available in DexyCo kids shops in Serbia. The bad news: they are priced at 4400 RSD, which is roughly equal to 38 USD/36 EUR. I'll try to get more photos tomorrow. This one should be credited to @G1 Aerialbot
What if retailers all over the world already have the toys and but only Chile and Serbia decided not to respect the release date set by Hasbro?
That sucks...i think here in the states their set to be $19.99 which is still high when a "normal" deluxe is around $15. Anyway, anyone in serbia care to hook me up with a barricade or berserker and mail it to me in the U.S?? Ill pay of course
Here in Canada deluxes currently ring up at $20 a pop, dreading TLK Deluxes being anywhere between $25 to $30 ($30 being our price for Voyagers). Most of Canada seems to be going through a drought right now, makes me wonder if retailers are waiting to stock up on TLK stuff (which probably sit on shelves for ages with the increased prices).
Voyager Price in Canada has been 30$ since 2007. Now I'm pretty sure they're going to increase the price, which makes me very sad...Deluxes are literally going to cost twice as much as they used to 10 years ago. And the quality is not even better...Collecting whole teams is going to be painful
Went to the shop today, here are a few more photos. They only had Bumblebee and Slash, as well as Voyager Prime and Grimlock, priced at 6000 RSD (52 USD/49 EUR). I imagine that the rest of the case ended up in some other shop... There are also dozens upon dozens of CW Onslaughts and Scattorshots and loads of NuRiD figures. No TR... looks like we'll never get any here in Serbia.
Seeing those Legends Shockwave on the shelf is a real bummer for me. I can never find those at retail here in Malaysia. Also, is that a Robot Replicas Frenzy from TF1? Talk about a classic.
Yeah, they haven't been able to sell that RR Frenzy for years now. But since Serbian shops don't have any concept that clogged shelf space = money tied = money wasted, they'll just keep him until the retail chain goes under and then pass him on to whoever buys their stock out. There are several DOTM Cyberverse vehicles there as well (not pictured).
