Hi. I have a friend traveling through Florida this coming week. I've asked him to pick up a set for me. Does anyone know of any TRUs on the Tallahassee/Orlando/Miami stretch that might have in stock? Thanks.
I wish they'd remolded the actual body of TR Nautica a bit more. She's basically a recoloured Blurr with a new head and add-on parts. I suppose if they'd used the mold only for her I wouldn't have had a problem, but in this case, for me it's the Victorion/Defensor thing all over again.
My Nautica looks nothing like the one in this gallery at The Allspark: www.allspark.com/2017/04/tru-exclusive-chaos-velocitron-gallery/ i0.wp.com/www.allspark.com/content/wp-content/uploads/2017/04/ChaosonVelocitron_018.jpg But I can't tell if they've fiddled with the light/camera settings to make it look more like the one on the box - my Fastclash looks brighter too - or they have got one that's a darker purple with grey, instead of slightly pink, soft plastic.
I'm sure it's the lighting. All the figures look darker, and purple varies wildly depending on the color of light. I think your lighter, more pink figure is 'correct'.
I'm surprised TRU hasn't relisted this back in stock for order...Did they make very few of this box set? Glad I didn't sit and decide if I should get this box set later to wait for it to drop in price...
Crap. Opened mine up to find fast lane had two left forearms/hands. what are my options? Do I just have to live with it?
I checked with my local TRU again today. Still showing a negative number from the distribution center. I take it that's not a good thing. But, if it serves to be of any hope, it's not showing as a "discontinued" item. So the wait continues.
I wonder if they just under produced this box set in fear of it not selling well due to the CW box sets still being available at tru.com and just didn't want to have that much inventory...Or they could be waiting for the movie to come out to put more of this box set out to correlate with the rest of the TF figures...Just my 2 cents here...
My local stores have removed the space from the shelves and price tag that lasted all of a day or 2 in some instances, a bad sign.
