    Makes a lot of sense.

    Yea, I don’t think I’m any way the arcee and grotusque were thrown together, I fact their remolding suggests they weren’t. Nautica got some, metalhawk got a face, arcee and grotusque got a lot more remolding and that may be because their boxsets got cancelled before being finalized and the deluxes got a bump in budget because of it

    It's also possible that Hasbro's course correction was a reaction to vendors not wanting to commit to the box sets for the same reasoning that tigatron2002 laid out.

    The funny thing is that it was only the straight repaint box sets that sold poorly which is something I would have thought would have been apparent from the get go. I’d have released The CW sets in this order

    G2 superion
    Victorion
    G2 menasor
    Computron
    G2 bruticus
    Liokaiser

    That way it wasn’t an immediate glut of repaints. They may have sold better with better spacing

    Yeah, you can only get them in the Siege on Cybertron and Chaos on Velocitron sets, which are now sold out (I think?). A better option would be to take the Hasbro set back to Walgreens and get the Takara sets. Takara is releasing a 2-pack of the Autobot Clones and a 2-pack of the Decepticon Clones (which is how it should have been done stateside). But if you had no intention of getting the Clones in the first place, you might not want to spring for the Takara sets, which will cost you close to 80 bucks.

    I loved the G2 boxsets, but you're right, there were too many at once. It's a shame we'll probably never get a G2 Devastator repaint of the CW molds.

    You might not pay more than $10 each, but the only way you're getting them (the other two not at Walgreens) for $10 each is if you find the two $100 box sets, at retail price. Then, they work out to $10 for the Clone...

    Well, I finally found the Clones 2-pack. It was located in a "Holiday Shop" display, alongside other Walgreens toy exclusives like the Marvel Legends Human Torch. Also, it looks like TFs are 25% off at Walgreens, so I got it for $13.49. Very happy to get this, and on sale to boot. Now, there's no reason to set foot in Walgreens until the next exclusive...

    If Walgreens shipping is too expensive, sellers have been competing on Amazon.com and dropping prices. The set is now $25 from third-party sellers, many of which have Prime Shipping.

    I got mine a month or so ago thanks to @Kukaahi Glad everyone else has the chance to pick one up though. I’m tired of exclusives being rare and hard to find. I’d also put Wingspan down best legends of TR.

    The set is starting to hit pretty regularly at the Walgreens in my area.
