Isn't that what Siege Deluxes are going for?

Thanks for the heads up, bud.

Preordered, much cheaper than from hasbro pulse with the insane shipping to Canada, almost half the price.


thats the new price point for all deluxe figures at retail. 39.99 for a voyager and 69.99 for a leader class figure. it sucks, it really does.

buying siege reflector will cost $105 Canadian for all 3 figures where 3 figures for POTP cost $67 taxes in.
its a ripoff now, i used to have an open display collection and a sealed MOC/MISB collection but with these new insane prices for retail figures i stopped buying my MOC/MISB collection figures, over 15 years of building that collection ended with siege.

its tempting to order but $30 for a remould of prowl and barricade I'll most likely pass.

If anything with these new price increases and lack of tru coupons I'm more selective now on releases

[Matrix_Holder]

I grabbed smokescreen as I'm not picking up barricade, no attachment to the character but I really want to replace those universe Datsun brothers haha.
I'm more selective too, skipped the micromasters as I don't think they're worth the price, returned chromia, she was not worth it without he combiner joint, I'm only grabbing the targetmasters from the battle masters line, no need for a cat sword in my collection. I've kicked my ocd need for buying each figure in the line, hasbros new pricing cured me.

Just an FYI...

$24.99 over at Northmen (https://northmencollectibles.ca/index.php/shop/pre-order/dlx-smokescreen-detail)

Yeah, but $15.00 shipping if you don't live near them...

[Matrix_Holder]

Shipping from ebgsmes in ontario for me was 4 bucks and I can always exchange it at my local shop which is 3 min away.

Very true, shipping kills it unless you buy along with other stuff and reach free shipping threshold.

Yep, good points for sure. As mentioned above, I chose Northmen since I was already getting other items and that made shipping free. On the side, I also prefer buying from someone like Northmen instead of giving my business to EB. Not a deciding factor, obviously, but yeah.

[TriBlurr]

I just pre-ordered in store. So I can just go pick it up when its in.

I preordered swoop and ricochet from them. Got some pals to get free shipping. Unfortunately they still have not come in. So you may be waiting longer from them.

"Estimated arrival February 2019"

Yeah I was banking on that too, Northmen are killing me right now

I'm in no hurry, so I did not pay attention to their date. But yeah, weird that they haven't gotten them in yet.

"The only information I have available is what is currently listed on the product page. Sadly neither the manufacturer or the distributor provides us with any update to ETAs until the items have physically arrived at our distributor.

The answer will pretty much always be that until all of a sudden it isn't. Hasbro doesn't provide any updates to my distributor or myself regarding ETA. I wish I had more info but that's all I've got to work with."

No ill on their part, just a frustrating situation for them and all. I like the price, I like the free shipping, and I like supporting a Canadian store. Hopefully the same situation doesn't happen for Smokescreen or other exclusives.

Both are on BBTS right now for 21.99... but... y'know. exchange and shipping and customs and blah. Is what it is. I'm not in a rush, there's just that little fear of "what if they don't get it in at all?"

Alright I might just pre-order Smokescreen at EB Games now since I can.
