They supposedly have a release date in Japan this month, but I can't find them on the international sites. Any else have any luck?

I am so happy I got my Thrust. I called every local store almost every day until I got someone to put one aside for me. I never saw him on the shelves.

I regret not getting Runabout. I saw 4 one day in a store, reported it here, but didn't get one myself. I figured he'd be a shelf warmer being such an obscure character. Guess I was wrong.

You triggered Murphy's law. If you see a figure you want on the shelf, can buy it, but don't; you will never see that figure on the shelf again.


Don't ask my why that is, I just know from a long history of collecting that it is true.

I believe the resulting action of such theory is buy now and ask questions later. One can always return your purchase within a period of time.

Precisely. Buy onsite. Hold on to it incase of sale. Return or price match later. It's somewhat labour intensive but the only way.

Would rather support Toys R Us than the American giant but that was the only place I could find her because the TRU website is empty and useless... augh. So I guess I am giving up? Lockdown didn’t help.

Edit: currently, all I see on their Website when I search for ‘Transformers’ are EIGHT Playskool products and nothing else!!?! ‘Kingdom’ yields results tho???!! WTH?!

Hmmm interesting. Yes it's my own personal copy, but knowing it's discontinued and not having the other 2 it would be hard to let it go. At least it's 1 of the 3 lol I don't know what I would do, I don't mind waiting either. Redwing comes to mind...

Noticed I'm getting the same thing since 2~3 days ago.

They could be doing an update in inventory. Or someone broke a classification tag. Blame the intern.
