Ruination/Wreckers sightings at all?
 

I assume it would have been news, but have their been ANY sightings of the Wreckers/Ruination deluxes in Canada or the USA?

They're on BBTS. Not going to pay $100 for the five, but I would like to get them. We're already onto the Thrilling 30/IDW wave... are they even going to show up?

anyway. thanks

seen none around here. maybe at Winners next month if we're lucky?

Re: Ruination/Wreckers sightings at all?
 

Never seen them in Toronto. I only want to get my hands on an Impactor and nothing else.

Re: Ruination/Wreckers sightings at all?
 

Best of my knowledge it was release once in the USA and it was limited.

Re: Ruination/Wreckers sightings at all?
 

I've only seen them at Silver Snail myself.

Re: Ruination/Wreckers sightings at all?
 

I grabbed a full set at TFCON but other than that I have not seen them. I paid 80 cents above retail.

Re: Ruination/Wreckers sightings at all?
 

They are available on the secondary market for sure. But I don't think you will get away with paying much less than $20 each for them.

That is within a dollar of what they would cost regular price at big box stores anyway.

Seen them only at a comic shop in Halifax once.

Re: Ruination/Wreckers sightings at all?
 

I *might* be cool with $100 total. I don't want them enough to pay $100 US + shipping + customs... ah well I'll poke around.

Pandaprime: wouldn't surprise me, wouldn't be the first time an entire wave goes straight to discount retailers!

Re: Ruination/Wreckers sightings at all?
 

i thought ruination was supposed to be decepticons...when did that change?

Re: Ruination/Wreckers sightings at all?
 

I picked up all of them at Silver Snail a while back. Was debating to get them because I thought they'd come to Walmart. Glad I got them when I did then.

Re: Ruination/Wreckers sightings at all?
 

Ruination was Autobots turned into Decepticons. Basically this set of Wreckers is supposed to be the RiD Ruination team before crashing on Earth and then getting reformatted by Gigatron.

Re: Ruination/Wreckers sightings at all?
 

Seen them in the US, or at least parts of them. Haven't seen a full team in the wild as of yet

Re: Ruination/Wreckers sightings at all?
 

Maybe they won't get released in Canada.
I can see retailers passing on that wave, since it's a remold of an earlier combiner wave that didn't exactly fly off the shelves. They've all moved on to IDW waves now. It's possible they show up at discount stores a la last year's PRiD waves 3+, or maybe Hasbro Canada didn't even bother getting them up here. I got a set from the States just in case.

Re: Ruination/Wreckers sightings at all?
 

I've seen at least 4 of the five of them at The Toy Trove in St.Catharines. But they were almost $20 each.

Re: Ruination/Wreckers sightings at all?
 

100 for the five is pretty much ontario retail after taxes.

Re: Ruination/Wreckers sightings at all?
 

I haven't even seen the original Bruticus wave! I just want a copy of the Blast Off and Vortex molds dangit. I don't care which versions.

Re: Ruination/Wreckers sightings at all?
 

Ummm. No. This was never officially stated anywhere.

These guys are aligned continuity.

Re: Ruination/Wreckers sightings at all?
 

Yeah, I never heard that before anywhere. Hasbro just wanted to use the molds again and said " lets make them the wreckers". I have no Idea where you got the RID thing from.

Re: Ruination/Wreckers sightings at all?
 

I managed to pick up 4 of the 5 while I was in the states months ago and still missing Whirl...

Would love to complete them.

Re: Ruination/Wreckers sightings at all?
 

It's just a fan theory, but I kind like the idea of the RID Commandos being originally that universe' Wreckers.

Re: Ruination/Wreckers sightings at all?
 

Well this is what I've heard. It also makes sense since the Wreckers colour scheme matches the Hasbro RID Ruination figures.

Re: Ruination/Wreckers sightings at all?
 

Unfortunately, Hasbro Canada decided to pass on them, for some reason. Unless you can find them at a local toy show, you'll have to order them and have them brought in,

He was and blame Hasbro. The reissue of the Bruticus molds into the wreckers was completely the idea of Hasbro and was never released by Takara. This would kinda explain it's exclusivity to the US.

Re: Ruination/Wreckers sightings at all?
 

They are all on HTS for $14.99 each...
