I bought the Ricochet/Predaking pack a few weeks ago from a UK seller. Only cost $20 shipped. As for Prowl/Laserbeak... WANT! Too bad that price is a swift kick to the junk.
What I fail to fathom is, how come Tigatron-Inferno and Predaking-Richochet was manufactured in large enough quantities to be sold widespread in Europe (they just hit stores here in Hungary and I got them for around 9$) but the other two that were supposed to be in the same wave, the RID pack and the awesome Prowl-Laserbeak pack was not. I still smell something fishy here (and it's not just yesterday's anchovy pizza leftovers) - I bet Hasbro has just recalled them and they plan to release them together next year when the Animated toys will appear too. I mean, even packaging was manufactured for them. Hard to imagine they'll destroy all that stuff rather then releasing it.
I want them all. I have all the other figures released except for Chromia/Megatron and Ratchet/Barricade. I quite like Robot Heroes. I get a large number of characters without having to spend a huge amount. I'm okay that they don't transform either - I'm not a fan of the overly complicated transformations that movie toys are known for. I still haven't transformed Sideways back to vehicle mode since I got him.
Desperately want the Prowl/Laserbeak set. But with a mortgage and now a brand new loan looming over me, I can't justify paying over $80 for a Robot Heroes set. Here's praying for an eventual retail release.
Okay, I really, REALLY want that Victory Saber and Deathsaurus two-pack like, RIGHT NOW. Jetstorm and Optimus Primal look awesomesauce, too. Come on, Hasbro, at least put these babies up on hasbrotoyshop.com! They're too cool to cancel!!
That Primal will always give me lulz. I kinda wish I could get that Laserbeak. Just not for (Current bid) $81 bucks.
I really think now I should have bought that Primal with BM Jetstorm here in Peru. I had known they were rare before... The packs were expensive here. I don't remember with figure BM Tankorr was packed here but I saw him on the shelves. The 3 BM generals would be cool. I think there's no Robot Heroes Bm Thrust, right?
No, just Tankor and Jetstorm. Tankor came with BM Cheetor. Yeah, they are pretty expensive in Europe too. In Hungary I usually see them for 2100-2500 HUF (around 9-12$). While in the USA they cost 6$. The stores are bloody leeches. They are selling ROTF Devastator for 200$, for example - not even postage would increase the price of that toy with 100$.
Tigatron/Inferno and Ricochet/Predaking robot heroes represent the one and only, super rare case when TFs were not horribly overpriced in our toystores -the 2-packs are only EUR 2.99 (in Alltoys stores), something unheard of. But they do compensate this by Human Aliance figures for EUR 47.99 and EUR 127.99 Devastator
Thanks for the info. Here in Peru they cost almost $13. That's ridiculous for me. I recently got a Robot Heroes Shockwave for my wife for only $3.
