Re: Toys R' Us Exclusive Perceptor and Insecticons Sighted at Canadian Retail

Apparently most of the sets are being bought up quick around BC. I think TRU will overstock these eventually anyways. Kind of shocking how they're almost flying off shelves, maybe being bought by scalpers?

TRU at Winston Churchill and Argentia (Mississauga) did not have them.

TRU in Oakville did not have them.

Don't waste your time as I have lol.

If there's a sale at TRU, I may take them into consideration. But for now, I'm not planning on getting them at this point.

Umm... Is this a problem with anybody who has Perceptor?

The missiles won't go into the gun at ALL. They just fall out... It's very annoying! Otherwise a perfect toy.

From what I understand it was done on purpose. No spring in the gun means he doesn't have to have absurdly large
missiles like the other TRU reissues.

it's ok if they deactivate them, but at least do what they did with prowl and co. and make the launchers hold the missiles without springs right?

Yeah... I am very close to just super gluing a missile into the gun. It's annoying..

^^^
Maybe they can be modded to add a spring that will hold the missile and launch?

I can't remember, can his launcher hold standard pen springs?
G1 UltraMagnus could, and it fired the rockets like a ...
well, ...like a rocket!

No sign of either of these two Toys R Us exclusives in the Bradford / Newmarket area. Sigh.
