While toy hunting today I found a two pack of (Universe) Cybertron Optimus and Crumplezone. It was overpriced but I put one on laybuy in anticipation of the big toy sales coming soon. My question is, what other sets like this are out there? I did not know this set existed even though I consider myself pretty well informed. I have the Dirg + Roadbuster and Springer + Ratbat sets, but is that all there is? Also was this set an exclusive? I really like some of the Cybertron molds and would be very happy if I could have the chance to buy another Primus at retail.
Where were you? That was either a Costco or Sam's club exclusive. I think Costco... and then Sam's club had a set of Cybertron Buzzsaw, Runamuck, Longrack, Blurr, and a repainted Cybertron/Armada Deluxe Prime. You know there's a big toy sale coming soon to that store? News threads about that set: http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/trans...niverse-optimus-prime-crumplezone-2-pack.html http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/trans...n-galaxy-force-optimus-prime-crumplezone.html
Thanks for the info. We never got that here (Australia). A year late is better than never. I just wonder if the store (Target) has been holding the stock since then in their warehouse or if Hasbro has tricked the buyers from Target into thinking this is a new movie tie in. Either way I like the Optimus. As for the toy sale, Target (Australia) will have a big sale starting I think on the 23rd of July And Kmart about two weeks before that. I learned this lesson last year when I bought an MP04 for about A$200, then a few weeks later it was closer to A$100. This time I am using laybuy to hold the stock until the price drops, then buy and refund and re-buy. So there is no sign of Primus being repackaged?
We never really got that 2 pack here in the U.S. either. It was super limited supply evidently. I could never find one myself, and they turned up on the auction sites for inflated prices and very small numbers. Right now the only sellers are from out of country. I suspect they actually got canceled and the small amount of manufactured product got shipped elsewhere. How much did you see them for?
Dammit, I saw a bunch of them here and didn't give it a second glance since I already had the toys. Same thing with Alt Swerve and Energon Ultra Magnus....I could be making bank right now
As I understand it, Costcos received EITHER a pallet of Animated ROC Prime or a pallet of the Universe 2-pack. All the local ones here got RoC Prime.
