    Reported Overlord here on June 30th:
    Newly released and upcoming toys: Hasbro edition

    And the Clones here:
    Newly released and upcoming toys: Hasbro edition
    And here yesterday:
    Titans Return Cloudraker / Wingspan Clones 2 pack

    I'm still not sure of the most appropriate etiquette when it comes to posting new finds. Is it that whenever I see something new to me, I should start a news thread?
    For example, should I start one for these voice changer helmets?
    Newly released and upcoming toys: Hasbro edition
    And/or these RID Combiner Force figures?

    I was trying to avoid clogging up the news thread with things that are possibly not news, and avoiding the fandom hammer for not always being on track with every release of every toyline in every country. Serious question, what's the best way to post [may or may not be] news without making it into a full-time research job for myself? Often I don't post because I think it's probably not actual news (although it's new to me), and I don't want to be 'that dummy' who doesn't know everything.

    Btw, which Toys R Us was this at?

    I cannot wait for overlord.

    Also, someone suggested this before, I'd love a 4 pack of the clones from takara. I have zero interest in getting those exclusive sets just for 2 figures.

    Thank you, but unfortunately for this to mean anything we need local prices for Deluxes and Voyagers too, since straight prices aren't an even comparison.

    No idea.

    I was asking if it's the branch that is near to Taipei 101 but was told that branch is no longer operational.

    OP did shared that he's very near to Zhong Xiao area though.

    Probably the big TrU (新生 Xīnshēng branch) near 中山捷運站 zhōngshān MRT station. It's the biggest one in Taiwan; the one with the nice TLK display on the second level currently. I might have time, and enough of a hanker on for the toy shop go around, to head in for a look-see this weekend.

    $2400, eh....

    Is it weird that I considered it for more than a few seconds? Haha

    Knowing me, I'd go out there, and by the time I get back on August 5th the shelves here would be stacked with these guys.

    Since the set has not been officially announced yet by Hasbro, I doubt anyone will have a concrete answer.

    I can tell you my Tribute cost £43 and Clones £30.00, both through IDToys so I'd be surprised if US retail was more than those amounts in dollars
