I was out earlier with fellow collector Counterpunch and we came across something a bit strange in the weird Toy Store at the local Mall: http://scotty--p.blogspot.com - I don't always update my TF Blog, but when I do, I do it right.  Iron Claw 001 Yep, that's a single packed version of the (previously) European exclusive Minicon Iron Claw. It cost $8 (ouch!) at the "Toy City" store in Cary Towne Center in Cary, NC. We're thinking this is a running change to the Market Six release from last year with the same, unchanged recolored Cybertron Recon Team members, although it wasn't clear if an entire case was out, so who knows. Anyone know anything else about these? Might we see some more of those Euro 8-pack guys surface? Junkion Feedback  |

I managed to snag the European 8-pack from HighPrime a while back and it's pretty cool. If some of these end up at retail after all that's cool for those that missed out. Quote:

I missed the Euro 8-pack as well and it feels like an annoying gap in my Classics collection. Sales Thread Feedback Thread The single-packaging of this is really encouraging. |
