So do you guys think there will be any chance that Hasbro would release these guys as a gift set.

Seems very likely for the holidays. Either platinum edition or retailer exclusive.

Takara has Superion up as a set with Slingshot. It might be cheaper preordering that then waiting for HAsbro's overpriced platinum series. Better paint job too

Aren't they going to release Devastator as a box set?

The Constructicons will only be available as the Titan class gift set. No word on if they'll be released individually, I doubt they will be.

But the good news is that they are getting a wide release, so all stores will have them, not like Metroplex who, AFAIK, was only available at TRU and Costco.

I'm sure we'll get Superion together via Hasbro in one form or the other, probably a SDCC exclusive.

Metroplex was supposed to be a mass retail release but wal-mart decided not to carry as it took up to much shelf space, so devy might not show up any where but Costco and TRU

TRU exclusives tick me off, as there aren't any where I live. Almost every town has a Walmart. But more to the point, why should TFs have ANY exclusives? What's so 'exclusive' about them, other than you have to live in a city that has a TRU?

They're having enough problems with getting new stock in. I've had nothing but a hard time finding the most simple stuff...Skrapnel comes to mind. The fact that I'm sweating if I'll be able to find Dragstrip before the other waves is goofy.

It's a dead horse, I know, but it takes the piss out of collecting when it's such a chore to find what should be easily found in any given toy department of any retailer.

I guess it's just online purchases for me from now on, if this continues.

I picked up my first one from Sears...held onto it until it was in Costco, saved a bunch of cash.

Skrapnel is still $6.46 on walmart.ca (http://www.walmart.ca/en/ip/transformers-generations-legends-class-skrapnel-and-reflector-figures/1099204) if anyone is still looking for him, though I have no idea how that site works for other regions. I ordered him and a bag of marshmellows last week. The marshmellows were really good.

You should blame Wal-mart as they are the ones that don't want to carry anything that takes uo that much space but they did carry stomp and chomp grimlock so here is hoping they do as this set is not as bis as Metroplex

mmmmmmmmarshmallows :D

I didn't even think Walmart online delivered in Canada...hmm, interesting. I guess it's been a while. I paid twice that for my Skrapnel, but at six bucks you can't go wrong.
