    Eddie just stated the street date as August 15th.

    Previously the Combiner Wars Collection Packs were always released two months apart: G2 Superion in mid-January, G2 Menasor in mid-March, Victorion in mid-May and G2 Bruticus in mid-July.

    September would be more logical as Liokaiser is coming in November. Though he's an exclusive...

    Yeah, August is always key month for launching fall toys. He's actually already in stock we got him last week.

    There are 2 other titans returns pre-sells scheduled for Sept so I guess it was just a timing thing.

    Sweet merciful crap, the situation with Cybaxx/Scrounge's special arm/partner/weapon/Payload redeco is ridiculous.

    - The packaging mentions "6 figures" and "12 accessories", so the Payload redeco apparently doesn't count as either.
    - The Toys"R"Us UK website refers to a "Cybaxx mini space shuttle figure".
    - The Toys"R"Us Canada website refers to a "Scrounge mini-UFO figure".
    - The Toys"R"Us Australia website refers to a "Cybaxx mini-UFO figure".

    The product descriptions on the three TRU websites appear to be otherwise identical, but appear to be taken from different stages of last-minute rewriting. The question is, which came first? Was the rewrite to add Cybaxx as a character or to remove him from existence?

    EDIT: Okay, the instructions specifically identify Cybaxx by name, thus sparing us another insane "Back/Forth" situation. Thanks to Powered Convoy for averting a brain aneurysm!

    I wonder how the name "Cybaxx" was chosen. It's not really a traditionally sounding TF name. I wonder if it is a reference to anything.

    just a FYI I talked to Brandon at The Chosen Prime, he said Hasbro made him remove the listing until August 15th

    I don't think he was suppose to sell it early

    Numerous retailers added, and several changed status to "in stock".
