On the back you can see it on the top left. That's not a bad price in the end. Be probably around 89.99 in US. I see it I'm getting it. On the back you can see it on the top left.

Well, if you only went by the thrilling 30's list of exclusive figures, then yes, otherwise I thought it was a great year for tf's one of the best even, based on the variety of the figures offered Well, if you only went by the thrilling 30's list of exclusive figures, then yes, otherwise I thought it was a great year for tf's one of the best even, based on the variety of the figures offered

Late reply, busy job.



It was varied, absolutley. It also launched a load of ideas that didn't really work for me. 1, 2 and 3 step changers got better in 2015, for instance. Besides variety, I also saw a LOT of stressmarks, rubber (which I dislike) and boring figures. Aside from mvoie Galvatron, I got rid of them all.



Mainly it's the exclusives that bothered me. So many double releases and updated paintjobs... Zero spectacle. 2015 squashed 2014 in regular retail and in exclusives.

Way, WAY too expensive for me. 110$+tx just for two junkions is ridiculous. So, I'll wait for the innevitable clearance. Posted by -Kanrabat- on February 4th, 2016 @ 4:38am CST

Good find!



I have too many of each mold, so this will be a pass for me. However this is a good opportunity for those newer to collecting to get a few really nice figures.



I'm afraid though, at $110 + tax they won't be flying off the shelves.



EDIT:



Duh, forgot to mention. Spotted the RID 2-packs and the mini-con 4 pack at the Trafalgar Walmart this morning. A few people on Cybertron.ca found them a few days ago, but this is the first time I've seen them. Really diggin' the new molds. Legends and Scouts are my crack, so I'm happy to pick these up.

I don't understand why they don't use other molds for megatron, and why the red repaint? Posted by King Dork on February 4th, 2016 @ 8:52am CST

I'm one of the few fans who's been universally happy with the Platinum releases thus far, but this set is a huge waste. People love troop building, and I'd have bought this set if those Junkions were different at all. After seeing the price in the currency of my homeland, $110 didn't even seem that bad. They just look too damn much like the originals.

I'd like more Junkions but I really don't need Hot Rod. I wonder what the thinking was, HR wasn't even part of that battle. Posted by Mr O on February 4th, 2016 @ 10:18pm CST
