one of the reasons it'd cost so much in the first place is shipping, I'd say over the 5 years I've been collecting Transformers for, about 40% of the total amount of money I've spent on 'em has been shipping.
that is speaking hypothetically If I wanted this set(which I don't really)

 

The average customer will buy what they can afford at the moment.

 

Nice!! Gotta check with my TRU guy tomorrow.

 

Ah, fair enough! As I open these sets anyway i'd ask them to just remove the box and ship them in a smaller way if shipping was so high, that usually helps. As you say though, if you're not really wanting them it's a moot point anyway  

 

Y'know, seeing the in-hand pics of the figures, I think I actually want this set now. Quickswitch really grew on me and I like it just as much as, if not more than Sixshot. However, the helmet not being remolded is a bummer. Laser Prime, unfortunately, I started to dislike more because of how shockingly bright the blue plastic on him is. Nautica and Fastlaneclash look great. I'm really looking forward to any future sets  

 

Indeed. Here's hoping this is a fluke that gets fixed later.

 

I wanna sell Laser OP, but I also really wanna keep him.

Like, so badly.

But then I'd have to start a G2 CHUG collection and that means buying the G2 Superion and Bruticus sets and wowwwie that is a big commitment

But on the other hand it's a frigging triple changing LASER ROD OPTIMUS WITH A FLAMETHROWER STICKER

 

Or you know, just have him on his own on some mixed shelf.

 

.....so you're in this thread why?

 

Wow, I can't believe this is out already, was there not any overseas leaks of production figures?

 

Idunno, why not?

 

are there any bios on the back of the box?

 

@Yaujta which two are the ones you want?

 

99 bucks sounds like a great bargain. A Leader\'s about 80 dollars, a Voyager\'s 50 and a Deluxe is 30.  Throw in a Scout for 15 and a Titan Master for 10, that\'ll normally cost you (in Australia, at least) 175 bucks in retail. 

 

Seibertron has had a full pictoral view up for awhile now. Quickswitch doesn't even have a new helmet as advertised. Not that he was really any good anyway, but it's a shame they feel the need to false advertise all the time.

 

Ugh. After seeing images of Nautica in robot mode, she's gone. She's on the list for sale.

 

If anyone wants to split one of these sets up, I'll kick in 20 bucks for the Nautica. PM me.

 

Will this set be available on the TRU website? There's no TRU close to me.

 

It comes out to be more like 130 Australian dollars. So still a better deal than the alternative, but how many characters from the set do most people actually want?
