The Hasbro website has powerizer and voyager class figures listed as 19.99 retail, with the weaponizers being about 30 bucks. Seems like whomever is in charge of the point of sale and pricing division at TRU headquarters doesn't know the difference.

TRU prices are just inflated, they're that way with most of things.. most likely because they really only carry toys and baby items.. whereas target and walmart sell a far larger variety of items, which allow them to keep their prices lower.

on the boxes of the "powerizers" it'll still say voyager class on the side of the box.

and though the weaponizers are leader sized toys, they're far more simplistic which is why the price point is lower.

Got myself a TG-20 Takara Senator Ratbat and as I don't have the earlier mold of 'Scourge', I'm quite happy with it. I'd be ecstatic if my shipping wasn't messed to heck.

Also nabbed a S.H Figuarts Dragon Ranger, which is my second ever S.H.Fig!

welcome!

scourge is an awesome figure.. and the mold is fantastic.

i can't wait for the green ranger to start showing up in stores. when i can, i try to avoid buying toys online. i like to see what i'm going to buy before i buy it. i like inspecting the figure first, checking for any QC issues like paint and possible breakage.

hopefully they'll start showing up at TRU in the next few weeks.

BTW are these genuine or chinese?

Bought them from a US eBay seller so I'd hope they are "genuine"

i can't wait for these.

i'm glad and sad that the releases are so spaced out. i'm glad because there's a lot of other stuff i want in this period of time, and sad because i really want the entire set.. like yesterday.

Do you think theyll be cheaper than the prices on amazon?

nice find! I have been looking all over for months and no one out here has gotten any in and I doubt they will. seems everything else mega bloks wow is being put on clearance...

Andy Carruthers · 07-13-2013, 07:44 PM

Some additions from the last two days. Finally filled in some holes of older figures I'd missed and also more Hot Toys Avengers.

Dr Kain · 07-13-2013, 09:34 PM

So does anyone on here that collect MH figures have the Mermaid CAM set? My g/f finally came across one today (the first one of any of the new CAM sets we have seen, but then, we have yet to see the Walmart exclusive girl) and if so, did you have any problems with it? She cannot get the body to lock into the tail and both mid pieces that cover the tail and body are too big to actually stay in place.

Uh... they aren't going to be showing up in physical stores. They are going to be online only as always. The only reason ShinkenRed and Gold were at TRU is because that was a special deal between Bandai and TRU. No Tamashii Nations item has shown up in stores since.

salsa4datass · 07-13-2013, 11:32 PM

^ which body are you using on it? the mh mermaid/siren cam did not come with a body. so the body you're using might be the first problem, not sure about the rest. the walmart exclusive is all over the place out here in CT and the new 13 wishes are starting to pop up at stores now...

The blue body from Mattel's body pack they sold on their site. ALl of the MH CAM bodies use the same body.

Good weekend!!! Finally picked up Blitzwing:

Wifey brought me two of my favorite wrestlers home from an auction today!!! Dynamite Kid and George "The Animal" Steele, who actually has real hair all over him. Nice touch!!!

Latest "haul" of HW:

And.... had to go back and get Ultra Magnus:

trebleshot · 07-15-2013, 06:50 AM

My haul for the week. Not pictured are Topspin and Twintwist as well as the Cobra H.I.S.S. Tank (from Retaliation) on clearance for $9.00.

Excellent remold. Probably better than the original, IMHO, due to having his own version of the BH jetpack that's removable. I also like how they made his shoulders into hidden missile launchers.

You're not the only one. I mainly want to get it for the Sharkticon homage.

Got 2 and 4 of the Wreckers myself, and my buddy help me get Megasharticon...but dang July is the month for TF with the TRU MP's coming out and now all these Rise of the Predacons....I didn't think those were going to get pushed out so fast, not until like next year...heck wave 4 of the BH deluxes haven't even been spotted in retail yet...sigh.

trebleshot · 07-15-2013, 11:07 AM

I'm just hoping that it's because Beast Hunters took a while to show up at retail and stores are still playing catch-up. I know the few K-Marts around me are just now getting wave one BH deluxes in stock.

Probably still on the boat on its way here.

BBTS says it expects wave 4 to come in this month, so fingers crossed B&M retail follows suit.

And that's the beauty of it

Once I get him, I won't call him Megatron anyway. To me, he will always be Beast Hunters Sharkticon.
