    mine are going to opened to be displayed next to the ehobby insecticons and so the box condition is not a factor to me...to MISB collectors i could see it being a factor...

    everything i have ever ordered from TRU...soundwave, the whirl/bludgeon combo and the blackout/scorponok combo all arrived in pristine shape.

    walmart on the other hand sucks in shipping stuff....

    I am tired of making trips to the store finding nothing, so I just ordered both from the TRU website.

    Thanks! Ordered mine as well. I don't really care much for the beat up box shipping as long as when I open them, the contents are in excellent shape

    It's a 50/50 thing for me. I've gotten items in excellent and crappy conditions from them.

    As noted by a few people already, these are both on Toysrus.com Home - The Official Toys"R"Us Web Site. The Insecticons are listed as "Insections" by mistake, but both can be found searching for the word commemorative.

    Perceptor: Transformers Universe Commemorative Series Action Figure - Perceptor #19 - Hasbro - Toys "R" Us
    Insecticons: Transformers Universe Commemorative Series Action Figure - Insections #16 - Hasbro - Toys "R" Us

    For those ordering in bulk TRU is doing free shipping on orders over $75 and the coupon code 930354 takes $10 off your order if it's over $100.

    These are apparently in short supply on the site. Punching in 999 for each in my cart reveals that there are 145 Perceptors and a 134 Insecticons left. Get em fast!!

    I'm debating if I want to get them off the site or wait for them to show up in the local store... seeing that low number available makes me concerned they will stock/vanish at the store.

    I've NEVER even seen a single TRU G1 on the fuckin shelves in my area. I suspect there are way too many collectors, casual fans, and of course the fuckin scalpers!

    With the free shipping and discount code, I'm better off ordering it online. Saves me the headache and gas hunting for them anyways. Thanks for the note Mr.!

    Thanks for the update!

    Went ahead and ordered mine. Tired of driving all the way to TRU for nothing...now that I've ordered them online, they'll be in the store on Tuesday...but whatever, no more driving for a bit.

    Sorry, I forgot to mention that the code takes $10 off if your order is over $100. I'll correct my post below too.

    There is a code for $10 off $75. It is 931082. It expires the 18th.

    Honestly I'm not sure if I want to get them or not right now. If I do decide to get them I won't be able to unless they are still up or restocked Friday. Given the amount they have posted earlier I will probably have to start calling TRU. It would be a lot cheaper for me to get them online though since the closest one to me is 100 miles.

    Edit: It seems that there are more than what was posted earlier. There are 194 Perceptors and 193 Insecticons.

    I was so excited to see a listing for them online, I didn't read the whole post so I missed the code. I ordered 3 insecticon sets, and paid full price. Did get free shipping though.

    I just ordered Perceptor online. But I typed in Insecticons and it said the search returned with no results.
