Amazon Exclusive G2 Fall of Cybertron Bruticus Giftset and Jetwing Prime Listings

Amazon.com has updated their website with two new listings, the first of which being a box set of Fall of Cybertron Bruticus in Generation 2 Colors, which we first saw rumored in Early May. The second listing comes as a bit of surprise, as it appears Amazon.com will be selling the previously Takara-Exclusive Dark of the Moon Jetwing Optimus Prime. There are currently no images or release dates for these two products, however the G2 Bruticus set is priced at $59.99 and the Jetwing Optimus Prime is priced at $104.99. We will post more information as it becomes available.

Wow that Bruticus seems pretty cheap.

Jetwing didn't exactly sell out.....i wonder if it's just old Takara stock?
TrueNomadSkies
Really, really hoping this comes to TRU Canada like the Unicron did.
G1Prowl
Um, maybe wait til there's at least a pic to go with it, just in case...

We don't know yet.

As for cheap ass, you're talking about a year to save 80-90 dollars.

Although i suppose there is the possibility that Amazon will reduce it a bit.....

Preordered. Thanks for the heads up.
Hot Shot.
So, does anyone here still think Hasbro's SDCC Bruticus price is justified?

Retail sales aren't what Hasbro want. They look at us paying good money for third party, Takara items, and decide they want a piece of that too.

In their minds it's justification enough, and they're probably going to do more of it in future, til people vote with their wallets.

I would be all over the preorder, but I have finally decided that I just can't get into this Bruticus or a lot of the upcoming stuff. Course I bought a Takara Jetwing a couple months ago for $180ish. Ah well.

Edit: Since I have Jetwing, I am hoping for the other Takara Leader Class Optimus with the shield to be a Costco exclusive. Come on Costco.

I think its worth the SDCC asking price, but I did pre-order this Amazon just in case I can't score a SDCC set while I am there. Added Jetwing prime to my wishlist...I'd rather wait to see pics before jumping on that one. And even then its not on my priority list.

Thanks for the heads up OP.

Preordered G2 Dudicus as if my life depended on it

Edit: Is there an estimated delivery date at all? I'm not seeing one.

Threw down a pre-order on Bruticus. I want him for my G2-classics if nothing else. Might still get the mainline release for my WfC/FoC shelf, or the SDCC one if I somehow come into lots of money.

£54 shipped to the UK. Sorely tempted.

Cheaper than local retail, and if you really don't like it, i think you'll have no trouble offloading it.

And you need more Swindle.

This works out to $12 for each figure for Bruticus. That's a steal, especially considering you also get free shipping and no tax (and no gas looking for them).
Angelwave
Huh....well I might as well grab a Preorder for Dudicus. This should still be coming out in October right?
Arkitect76
Ordered both....thanks op...didnt even know they were getting a jetwing optimus...
MechaV
Preordered Bruticus fast as you can blink.
Taziir
Even after shipping and tax it still comes in at £54 for the set to UK, which is an absolute bargain!
Scantron
Cool, pre-ordered Bruticus. Price comes out to probably be cheaper than retail, no tax, free shipping and, if it turns out to be the wrong thing when pictures go up, I can cancel easily enough with no charge.
BlueAngel_Bolt
That Jetwing Prime is interesting, especially with it being so cheap. Hmmm...
Dat Bruticus is a must though.
Omegatron
Got a Bruticus. While I've been lucky on SDCC exclusives before, I don't mind getting one of these just to be on the safe side. Or in addition. Nobody tell my wife it's just the same toy in different colors, k?
Rookbartley
Preordered both. Thankfully it was payday!!!
Nemesis Maximus
Holy blimey, pre-ordered! Gotta think there will be a catch, but im happy for now!

And I caved in. (good point re: Swindle).

Maybe just maybe they went with pinstripes this time, or made Prime look a bit more distressed?



I'm kind of hoping this is exactly the same as DA15....i don't really want to buy the mold again.
Arkitect76
Last year, from what I remember, there was no preorder for Unicron (Amazon exclusive), what made them do pre orders this time around?....maybe to gauge interest since last year I remember Unicron selling fast...

well, hopefully, but being an exclusive means they might change the paint a little as they did with their other exclusive unicron, last year...either way, I dont have a jetwing yet and this comes in perfectly WITH the savings...I think Ill be asking too much if it came with chromed up jetpack, lol
MovieGodOptimus
I finally have the chance to get a Jetwing Prime and the big bad battlin' Bruticus!
PredaconTheKing
And this is why i hate Amazon.com, cause they dont ship to Canada.....Damn You Amazon.ca!!!!! i want that Bruticus!!
Stepper
Jetwing Prime more or less is the old stock of TakTomy

Seeing as how he looks, he should be this price.

I'm not too fond of the G2 color scheme but at $12 a figure this is great!

And I'm finally getting a buster cannon too!

They're shipping him to international's, much like how they shipped Unicron to international's last year.

Anyways, price is awesome and the shipping will probably be good. The only problem I have is I can't actually buy it, because my ATM card can't be used online, so I'm going to have to bribe my mum into getting it for me.
Stepper
If worse come to worse i can't get the SDCC version,i will consider this Neon version
Kaijumaster
HMM, I still think I'd prefer the SDCC color scheme (though not the price) but that G2 Vortex calls to me.
Autovolt 127
I want the G2 Swindle. at 60 bucks i might go for it.
Transformed
Looks like Christmas just came early for my son He's been asking for a combiner and with me watching FOC trailers these days, he's become quite fond of those designs, especially Bruticus.

Those prices do seem to cheap, but with Amazon.com's price guaranty we all better jump on this before prices change (if they do at all).
twiztidRodimus
is he like 104$ if you pre-order it from some of the other toy stores? But 60$ from Amazon. Its a no brainer.
TFPrime
So is this the Bruticus version that will be released in stores as well just as single figures and not a gift set? Or is this a whole different version than besides the regular release?
