Ha! That was great. I always try to quote and incorporate that Crosshairs line into my daily life.
Also, wake me up when the Deluxe Hot Rod has made its way online...

I wish. I checked my nearby Walmart this morning to be sure they didn't have him first and they don't even carry legions at all. I'm not super happy about paying the $10 either, but it's for one figure that I likely will never see at my store.

I love his design and the Legends/Legion size class, but I don't think I've ever seen Legion at my local Walmart, let alone their TLK exclusives. I just don't think I can justify paying half the price of a movie deluxe when his contemporaries are available for around a tenth of the price.

Are you a time traveller visiting the future? Because it's been years since legions have been discounted at that price. Lowest I saw a RID legion was 5.50$US and the movie ones at 7$US.
The prices have gone quite up, especially for the movie figures.
Damn those TrU exclusive deluxes at over 30$US in Canada... And somehow, they still all sold at my local TrU! Granted, they were back at the "regular" price because of the sale but still...
Speaking of super clearance, I'm just waiting for TrU to be tired of all of these voyager Grimlocks.

Will probably come out cheaper too. Is it the same BB that also comes in the Megatron two pack at TRU?

I could get a Legends Class for that!!

Saw this a few days ago.
Also, that Hot Rod is missing a wheel in his stock image
Also, here is my Infernocus with Quintessa where he will actually stand fairly stable:

Can anyone help with this question of mine? Pretty please?ScottyP wrote:Did anyone else's Infernocus come with the wrong card for the collage that all the Mission to Cybertron toy cards can create? Infernocus had the one that's the upper left corner, which already came with, I think, the set of Deluxe DotM OP and Protoform OP. Was expecting the upper right/part that forms the end of the word "Transformers" that runs along the right side. Curious if this is widespread or if I need to go make an exchange at the store!

He is the only figure of the subline I have, and I kind of ignored the card and it is buried somewhere. I can try to dig it up laterScottyP wrote:Can anyone help with this question of mine?

for UK, Kapow has Cogman (or Gogman as they have him titled for some reason) for £27.99. Is he supposed to be a more expensive limited Deluxe like Hot Rod then?

Pretty sure it's just price gouging for the impatient customer.

Well Cogman is a headmaster even if he is not shown being so in the film (He is called one though) it just was cut for time just like a billion other things from the film, as for him using the same system as TR it's probably just so Hasbro can just use an existing system instead of making one of for just Cogman.
Only reason Nitro is one is probably so there is another figure in the line for Cogman to use and even then Nitro is not a headmaster he just uses the connection port.

For the record: Bumblebee, Cogman, Hot Rod, Dragonstorm, and the legion Hound and Dragonstorm are the only figures left I'd like

Newcomer here. I've recently won one of the Limited Edition Gold Chromed TLK Voyager Optimus Prime from a contest campaign here in Malaysia which was also posted here on Seibertron.com before;

If I may ask, what are your estimates on the market value for this one compared to the previous lucky draw figures you've seen before?

While I can't give you a certain value estimate, I can say welcome and congratulations! Quite the splash to be making for your first post, eh?
Checking eBay though and with my limited (heh) knowledge of limited editions and the like, it seems like it'd be worth a good many times the toy's regular value if kept in perfect condition. And then of course, the older a figure is the more it tends to become worth, so over time I wouldn't be surprised if the value only increased from here. But of course, the only value that really matters is how much it's worth to you, and if I were in your position I'd be very proud. That is one pretty Prime

Nothing but wave 1 figures shelfwarming ALL of the Walmarts, Targets, and TRU's in my area. Haven't seen any other waves at all.

This reminds me of when the AOE toyline came out. The shelfwarming around my area was so bad that it extended into CW, which didn't even get to saturate until around June thanks to all of the AOE stuff.Cobotron wrote:I'm not too actively seeking these figs, but it's down right shameful how much wave 1 stuff is just, hangin' around.

I never saw Leader class CW at Target because the shelf was stuffed with AOE leader grimlock. Who knows if I will ever see Voyager nitro because it is stuffed with TLK Voyager grimlock.

Oh man that Scorponok wave. I dont know why that one is so resilient but I still see it at my TRUs, even though they have moved past onto later waves.
Well good luck to you all on your TLK hunts!
