Transformers Generations Combiner Wars Combaticons Found in the UK at Smyth's

Let's see. Get them at insane Toys R Us prices who now charges 23 bucks for deluxe figures, or get them for much less every where else in October? I'll wait. Alpha Bravo is my Groove stand in for Defensor now anyway.

DId you make him have 2 helicopter arms or one as an arm and another as a leg?

Hm, should I get Victorion or Computron when he comes out? Victorion uses molds I already have but Hasbro Computron is way inferior to Takara Computron...

Wow, the Brits get screwed over in prices more than Australia. Not much more ... but still more.

It's how it's always been - believe it or not, this is the nationwide normal RRP. If you really wanna scream, Legends have been around 12 quid; which translates to around 17.55 dollars for you

Close to $24AUD actually. Our Legends (depending on the store) range from 7-9 quid.

Either way, Canadians need to stop their bitching.

It's not the only thing us Brits get screwed over on ! we never got wave2 of combiner wars and I emailed hasbro UK and they told me we won't be getting CW Devastator either

I agree.

You dont have to get any of them. For the same reasons you described, I decided I am not getting either of those 2.

I don't know how you guys have such sturdy combiners, I assembled my first one and he is loose as HECK. The chest minion keeps popping off, the arms won't stay in place and keep flopping around and the legs can't even stand it up!

It would probably help if you said which combiner you were having problems with. But it sounds like you have Menasor which the chest minion can be fixed by shaving off a little bit of the pegs it sits on. As far as the arms go, the motormaster mold is known to have a loose connection at the shoulders but unless something is broken it shouldn't be that bad. Are you sure you're transforming it properly?

It's a mix, but I am using the motormaster mold without the fixed hips. It's Optimus+Rodimus+Wheeljack+Smokescreen+Swindle+Blast Off. Waiting for the final limbs of Bruticus and Sky Reign.

My Wheeljack's combiner peg joint doesn't have a very tight ratchet, so he's too floppy to be a leg. But I don't think he's that bad, and my Smokescreen is pretty solid.

I was once ased if the Skylynx I got also had super loose hips in torso mode and yup it does. Is that a general thing?

Here is one thing good happening to the brits right now: http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/ ... oys/35470/

My skylynx seems fine. They're nowhere near as tight as say Superions but they don't flop all about.

Wheeljack's an arm.

He can be whatever you want, that the point of scramble city. He was never a combiner anyways so any predetermined position is purely trivial.

I meant the reply was talking about Wheeljack being a leg, on the combiner I made he was an arm.

Not sure if it the right discussion thread (my question is about Titan Return, not CW) but I was wondering if anybody knew if Fort Max will be available at stores like Toys R us or Walmart? An do any of you think he's worth picking up?

Here would be the best place to ask this from here on out: transformers-titans-return-product-reveals-news-updates-rumors-leaks-and-more--p1793745.php#p1793745

But yeah, he should be available at those stores. Though he might just be available online to free up shelf space in the physical stores.

Thanks for answering my question and pointing me to the right thread

No, this is definitely the wrong thread for that, that's actually a discussion that happened a few days ago. And he is being released to retail, but the question then becomes: are your TRU's stocked well enough and often enough to be there when he's there. I have never seen a titan figure at any store, so there's that...

The stock availibility is a valid question but there is very little I can do for that. I did pick up Metroplex at a small store for 100$ plus taxes a year after he was released and I know it was a good deal. I'm wondering just how big the difference will be between the prices at retail stores and 'specialised' stores.

I don't know where you live, so I couldn't tell you specifically, except that costco had metroplex for ~$50 at christmas that year (I think, it was pretty out there) and Amazon had devs on sale for ~$100 a couple times, (I believe...)

So with recent developments in IDW, I now find myself really really lusting after more CW guys for an IDW Galvatronus and Sky Reign.

My Combaticon limb figures showed up today... Gotta hand it to HTS... Between their sale, free shipping, and now getting these within 5 business days, I have no regrets with getting both versions of this group.
I really do like the look of Blast Off, and tbh, this actually makes me more okay with UW version having a different color scheme. Probably would've bugged me if both molds shared a color scheme that was too similar. I do wish the highlight color over the knees was black instead of yellow, but oh well. Still looks good overall.
Also, still not a fan of Vortex's yellow missiles... Wish those were black or even purple.
This is the one character where I think UW got it spot-on.

Oh quick question-- I have a bunch stacked and on pre-order with TFSource.
If I have my stack shipped now, will my other pre-order items still ship for free since both are well over $150??
Seems like they would, but if not, I'm willing to wait.
I emailed them back on the 28th and still haven't heard, so figured some of you would know.
Thanks!

Groove back in stock...20 or so left better hurry. I just got one. Oops...now say IN STOCK June 4th, 2016

$16.99? Says $27.58 when I clicked.

I see what they did there: instead of a proper listing, it gave a page for the product in general, including the lowest price available on the site.

Cw cyclonus is still readily available here in the north east but as for sky reign Internet will be your best bet

Someone remind me, did the red version of CW Prime have the same problems as the 1st release of Motormaster?

Rodimus Prime wrote:Someone remind me, did the red version of CW Prime have the same problems as the 1st release of Motormaster?

Yeah. And I don't believe he had later release with fixed hips like Motormaster did. The white version was fine, though.

Not entirely sure you understand... take a look at the latest issue of RiD. Things get a little insane.

That's as I understand it. I believe you'll have to go United Warriors route to get fixed hips on Optimus.

Yes, but I'm impatient and cheap. Hence, my frustration at repeatedly missing this dude.

Ah, now that, I get, can you sign up for an alert, or just keep the tab open, and refresh it 100 times a day, like I do? Or talk to another member, I know Megatronus had an extra one at one point a few days ago...

Nope, keep missing it, and haggling with Megatronus would likely be too complicated - I'd probably have to sign up for stuff, and transfer money... I can wait until HTS gets them in October - being broke can make one very patient

Oh yes, I can testify to that. I thought I was never gonna get CW Britucis because I didnt have enough to warrant paying full price for the Hasbro version. but a good price came along and I bit. It also took me years to find RID JRX for a decent price but I was patient and it all worked out. And I finally have a LG 02 Primal for the lowest price possible ever since I missed the japanese preorder a couple years ago.

Well, sales on toys are largely a thing of the past here, deluxe's are $23 at tru, so the only place I can go for a price that matches the quality if what I'm buying is HTS when they have a sale... just wished bbts and the like offered free shipping, that can kill ya

Nothin' starts the day off right like a Youheidx video.
Next up, Dia-Battles!

Fellow Seibertronian Downshift has found Transformers Combiner Wars G2 Bruticus at Toysrus in Canada. Canada has been getting these G2 sets first so far and they usually show up in the US within a month from their first North American sighting so be sure to keep and eye out starting now!

Just to give a rundown of what this set includes. It comes with the same Bruticus components previously released by Hasbro in a G2 deco along with a redeco of Shockwave.

Down_Shift wrote:Picked this guy up from the Oakville TRU today.

I had wondered when this was going to show up. Don't need Fruiticus, but he looks cool enough. I wonder why they're not doing Defensor in his G2 colors.
