    Awesome news for those that never got the Takara release or just want another one!
    Wasn't Sideswipe supposed to get a TRU release as well!

    Sweet, now I can pay almost double what I would spend on the Takara version anywhere else!

    Seriously TRU.ca, Prowl was $70 and that was still overpriced, now you're offering the same figure and charging $20 more?

    I'll wait for one of their famous "20-30% brand-new stock because we lack all monetary sense" sales. :lol  Worked with MP Soundwave, Metroplex, and the Combiner Wars deluxes. Even then that wouldn't be huge savings on Bluestreak, but at least I wouldn't be accidentally buying a KO.

    Price seems a little high. I always get the Takara versions but I rarely expect them to be a better price.

    Eh, I've already go this release TWO years ago. All for the 'reasonable' price of $45.
    For this terrible pricing, I could have bought 2 MP- Bluestreaks! :lol

    Overpriced and I already have the mold. Unless there's some crazy 60%+ off sale I'm not going to bother.

    Any chance this means Titan Class Devastator will be out in Canada pretty soon?

    There's no notable connection between the releases.

    Agreed.

    Like many others, I have the TT mold, so this waaay overpriced. As much as I love to have Hasbro versions of the MPs, this is a terrible deal. I'm going to wait for a discount before I even CONSIDER picking this one up.

    Well, so much about it being an online exclusive only. Glad to hear it.

    Unfortunately even if the Takara version costs 60$ so it's less than 90 CAD (=72 USD) I don't dare to buy the Takara toys from ebay, there is virtually no way to tell from the auction photos whether you are getting the real thing or a Knockoff.

    Online/SDCC exclusive for the US market.

    Other markets are unaffected.

    What irks me how a lot of sellers claiming to be US sellers. They're pushing their KO's through really hard.
