    That signals decent prices for the other box sets too then. Good.

    how do you know "lots of people can't" when we literally have our first usa in store sighting today. of course a lot of people can't yet because they are just hitting. also expect them to go on the toys r us website, or does that not count?

    If I wanted this set for example I'd have to import it from a 3rd party source, as Toys R Us's here barely get anything transformers related let alone boxsets.
    I know plenty of people with the same situation

    ok, well the scenario i was speaking of was a few days ago when a uk seller put it up for $180 and all the usa fans were crying chicken little. it sucks that your toys r us stores suck, but even then, i was able to get a liokaiser set from a 3rd party seller (yes this is comparable to liokaiser, $100 box set that is store exclusive) for $120, so i doubt itll be that difficult to get ahold of

    If anyone who spots this set in the USA wants to sell me their Quickswitch and/or Fastlane, shoot me a PM please.

    Those are the only two I'm interested in and I don't want to have to buy the entire set.

    Shoot, Erie? That's normally my closest TRU; of course the exclusive I'm interested in pops up there first when I'm hundreds of miles away from home for work :lol

    Why not ask one of the people you get on with on here to pick it up for you at cost, and you just pay the extra shipping? There seems lots of decent people who've been on here for years, i'm sure one of them you know well wouldn't mind doing that for you? I live in the UK but i'm sure there'd be some great people here who'd do the same for me, & I can always return the favour in the future if they ask.

    Well, I'm heading to TRU in Erie tomorrow. Once I have it in hand, I'll know which ones I'm keeping and which ones I'm not.

    For sure keeping:
    Rodimus and Fastlane

    Maybe:
    Nautica

    For sure selling:
    Quickswitch
    Optimus

    If anyone wants to buy the latter two for sure without buying the entire box, hit me up.

    Has there ever been a new mould figure that's only been released in the US? (in the last few years anyway!) While nobody can be 100% certain, i'm almost convinced Takara will release these at some point in the near future. What price and if 2 packs or two or one 4 pack etc I don't know, but considering their appearances in the Headmasters cartoon i've no doubt they'd get them.

    I can understand why Hasbro is releasing them this way, even if it's not to everybody's tastes. But i'll be happy to get them at some point, no matter in this pack or from Takara. I just hope Cloudraker is better than Fastlane! I love the characters, but considering it's a new mould Fastlane doesn't look much better than his 80s counterpart :(

    1-3 for me, the head is a nice bonus and the obscure cat guy and red thing are okay too but not the highlights at all to me.

    Quickswitch getting a good figure is damn near historic.
