    ^Yea, I had to hold myself back from ordering more than one (been spending too much lately and have a trip next week). Wouldn't doubt if the price soon goes up, and the quantity limit goes down.

    I ordered one and the weird thing is I didn't have to pay yet. It said payment Method: Paypal, but I didn't actually pay. Did TRU change it so you pay when it's in stock?

    I got email confirmation: Thanks for using PayPal. Please note that this is not a charge. Your account will be charged when the merchant processes your payment. You may receive multiple emails as the merchant processes your order.

    Ok, cool. I don't have to pay it till it arrives, sweet!

    How on earth do Hasbro expect to sell any carbots when they're selling something like this for as low as $59.99?

    They're just devaluing everything else and ruining the potential of the line surely?

    Differences not mentioned on first page:

    White outline around Decepticon Logos

    Upright tailfins possibly a darker blue (?)


    Probably more of TRU's 'introductory price' bait and switch nonsense.

    I do notice the release doesn't appear to come with the Coronation Accessories. That might explain the low cost.

    Also it's TRU, they can change the price at anytime they want. :p

    Ah. Thanks for that. Tailfins I did see it is possibility a darker blue, but lightning is different so hard to tell. At least it doesn't if silly tempo on it.
