    Ditto. I don't think it ever made it into any store around here. And I have to many plates spinning to stomach paying the premium they want in the secondary market.

    Hmmm, I guess you could include Replace Sunstreaker with Smokescreen and Prowl could be replaced with Trailbreaker or Rook. Also You should totally include Energon Slugslinger to the mix to form the back of Sky Reign. Remember that Slugslinger is a component of Sky Reign in the IDW Comics. If not Include Cosmos with Mirage as a limb component instead of Prowl.

    Also, i hope Marshalls could sell those limb components soon, all i been finding is the torso voyagers.

    Liokaiser arrived from Taiwan today. I have to say that, even as a team of repaints/tools he still looks gorgeous on the shelf. One thing CW has done is give each team a unique color & silhouette. I'm glad I decided to go all in and grab all 10 teams, and hope Hasbro decides to jump back in the frey with beast teams next year.

    In the meantime, I'll be keeping an eye on Takara. I missed out on Grand Galvatron, but if they are able to deliver a dual torso Liokaiser I'm definitely importing that as well.

    They've only been reported in North Carolina, South Carolina, New York and Kentucky so far in the TJMaxx thread. People in Georgia, Massachusetts, Ohio, Virginia and Wisconsin have also found them.

    I totally agree with both of you that Silverbolt is over used and its nice to have another use of Skylynx but even if they hadnt used Silverbolt, I wish they would have done the colors right and made a few minor changes to the head and chest wings to make it look so much more like Liokaiser is supposed to, as that guy's amazing custom did.
    But of course that would have cost them some extra money.......:rolleyes:

    Keep checking ebay, Ive seen some complete Sky Reign combiners go for 60-70 bucks, which is a great deal since one skylynx bot goes for 35 -40 these days.

    Jhiaxus, was it in a state different than the ones mentioned above?

    Does anybody know when TJMAXX usually get new shipments and do restock?

    As far as I know, places such as Marshalls and Tj Maxx get in shipments every day.

    I got mine in South Charleston, WV. I also went to Marshalls. All they had were a bunch of BC Optimus and Motormasters, 2 Onslaughts, a Scattershot, and a Blast Off.

    Combine with who? CW or UW Computron?

    CW Computron... plug him on the peg atop Strafe's cockpit.

    UW Computron... connect him to Cybaxx, then plug Cybaxx's gun peg into a port atop UW Strafe.

    eBay sellers have dropped CW Liokaiser to $107 (with shipping). I bought mine last week for $115 and have no issues with that. So if cost was your only concern...jump on in.

    Thats crazy! I thought I got a good deal at 130 with expedited shipping. I wonder why they are dropping the price on them so soon?
    Almost makes me want to grab another to have them displayed in bot mode next to combined mode!

    And I cracked and bought Brawl with Swindle to complete my Bruticus.

    Any recommendations on best feet/hands to get for these guys? Brawl is certainly interesting...

    All the best
