    Missed out on Bruticus but didn't want it anyway. I did pre-order jet-wing because that is a hell of a deal.

    Preordered Jetwing but missed out on Bruticus. Hopefully he comes back. I think he will. Remember how many times Unicron came back in stock?

    I wonder if this was somehow a ploy to test the waters with these sets? Either way, happy to have got my pre-order in on Bruticus

    When is the actual release date? Im sure Bruticus will be back several times when he is actually in stock ready to ship as well. I fully wasn't expecting looking for him for at least a month or two!

    Places like YaHobby.com have Striker in stock but for $190. It will be a miracle if I find one below $150.

    Unicron was the ploy. These are the continuation.

    Hasbro want collectors money, they know stuff like this is going to fall flat on its face at Wal-Mart, and there's only so many exclusives TRU can take.

    Gotta agree. Amazon got my $105 for Jetwing but I was not willing to drop $175-$200 on one. C'mon Bruticus.

    Preordered Prime this morning, but not too concerned with Bruticus at the moment. Isn't this like the 3rd or 4th repaint of him? Meh....

    It's 1 of 3. Second most desirable of the three, IMO.

    Missed out on Dudicus but instead I used the money on AM Breakdown. I wonder if he'll hit Canadian retail like Unicron?

    Preordered Brute. I had g2 blastoff and swindle when I was little so this is the preferred scheme but I may pick up the regular retail versions as well. Like their colors too

    Does the regular version come in a giftset or is it only the Amazon and SDCC exclusives?

    Far as I know they will be individual figures.

    Gah, one of the few days I didn't check tfw early is when they put up the listing for bruticus. Hopefully they put it back so people can get one.
