    This person is full of it. No Toys R Us stores are carrying THIS figure! They most likely bought it online for double or triple the price and are showing it in the picture as if they bought it from a store. The numbers on the receipt, don\'t match THIS character either. It\'s to other figures in the line.

    Is it illegal to say "Cogman" or something?

    This statement is provably false. The receipt sports the UPC barcode for Deluxe Cogman (630509578726). You can look up the barcode on Google and immediately find eBay, Target, BBCW Distributors and ToyWiz listings for Cogman.

    There's only person in this thread who appears to be full of it, and that's probably the person who just signed up specifically to call someone a liar, and immediately failed spectacularly at it.

    I may be crazy enough to think that being an elementary school teacher is a great career choice, but I'm NOT crazy enough to order a figure from overseas for double or triple the price (on a teacher's salary?) and then spend my time taking that figure INTO a store just to grab a picture to mess with people online.

    I wish I had taken a picture of it on the shelf (with the new Leaders and the MPMs) but I was so blown away by actually seeing it in person that I grabbed it and went straight to the checkout.

    I hope it shows up at your TRU soon!

    I go on Thursdays so that 1) I can get 10% off, and 2) I'm more likely to find new products before they get snatched up over the weekend. My advice is to go before Fridays, and maybe even ask when they get new shipments in.

    Thank you!

    It's a chase figure because:

    2x Cogman - Much wanted
    2x Bumblebee (new sculpt)- Not much wanted
    1x Crosshairs - Crappy old mold everyone has had enough of
    1x Strafe - See crosshairs x2
    1x Barricade - Still clogging shelves everyone who wants one has one
    1x Decepticon Berserker - Ditto

    So case comes in Cogman disappears, 6 other bots clog shelves

    Crosshairs is a new mold, bruh. There's a reason he costs as much as Wave 3 Bumblebee on the secondary market.

    I'm scared to question if this was in jest or serious, considering your username handle

    STOP.

    For that alone, you get a like

    I think "New Mold" is pushing it. It's an altered mold, most of it is still the same. And still about as crappy.

    The decisions about which figures to produce and release in each wave were probably made over a year ago. I'm sure Hasbro is aware of the retail situation but it's far past the point where they can alter the case layout unless they're prepared to sit on inventory for what was removed from the case.
