Hope that stays there for a bit. I just know I'm going to miss the import shop preorders.

There's six Autobot Targetmasters pcked with Hotrod, Kup, Doublecross (Haywire for Blur), Windblade,, Topspin and Twintwist (for Crosshairs, Pointblank & Sureshot respectively who've not been made yet) There's also Targetmasters with Legends Triggerhappy, Misfire & Slugslinger. So that makes nine. I was thinking of a set of six for the six Targetmasters Hasbro have released. But looking at it laid out as nine, doesn't it seem odd Takara would have set up partners for the Autobot Targetmasters only to release them with toys like Windblade? It's almost like they were expecting Crosshairs and co but plans to make them changed last minute... |

Well golly. I understand why Arcee cost more as it was a convention exclusive. Why is Grotusque priced so highly? -Ralph Because it too is a con exclusive Arcee- Hascon Grotusque- NYCC It was not a con exclusive. It was announced at NYCC, and then went on sell on the Hasbro online store. There was no Hasbro stand or table at NYCC. Arcee was supposed to be available at the TRU booth at NYCC, but they did not receive the stock from Hasbro in time for the convention. |

Either way it was $30 to start with so after the retailers add their profit margin to that and whatever shipping costs I guess its about whats to be expected.

Dunno, but they're sold out now. I'll be awaiting the Tusk-signal eagerly.
Even if thirty-plus quid is a lot to pay for a Scorponok head.

Phil, is $40 more than RK had it up for before? If the UK sites get it this week I've got no hope because I don't see the internet until at least eight in the evening. I'm tempted to go for one I can buy now.

I've spent too long this evening trying to imagine how a hawk would use a phone. I can't get past the claws. How would the claws work with a touch screen?
I don't think they would.

Does this mean hawks can't buy things online?
That feels like prejudice.

What about their beaks? Tap tap tap. I imagine they have inpoint control over their beaks. Hold the phone between their wings... Tap tap tap. They couldn't use their phones whilst inflight though using this method... then again that'd be like using a mobile whilst driving, a big no no...

Pricey for something that could still get a wider release.
But it might not!

The only way I can justify that price is if they missed getting it at the cheaper wholesale price. But that as a consumer..... NO.
Having said that my RK one may end up costing me that much if I get CUTA'd

Still in stock, and I’m not surprised at that price. It does look like gouging this time.

It's also not on the web homepage so you'll only find it through their FB. They've only been able to get 120 of them so they weren't offered masses of them either. From what they've said on FB, they've gone out their way to source them. Possibly similar to the way ID got the Velocitron set. It would be strange for them to scalp on this but pass on TR Slugslinger a few weeks ago because they wouldve had to sell at an unreasonable price. |

If you get left with Grotusques and have to knock em down they will sell. Slugslinger is 3 per case of 8 and the rest of the case (2 x Hot Rod, 2 x Kup, 1 x Hardhead) is unsellable dog meat. |
