Reports are coming in from 2005 Board and Cybertron.CA board members of retail sightings for the latest Combiner Wars figure, Victorion. The fan-built box set has been spotted in Toys R Us stores in Ottawa and Toronto. However, some stores are refusing sales until Sunday, the 15th. This street date correlates to recent online rumors as well. Just a heads up if you happen to find one in your area.
Check out photographic proof and join the discussion after the jump.

Got mine at at the green hills mall in the phillipines when I was there last week. Found a Megatron platinum set too. They're stores are so much better than what you in the States

I'm fairly certain that's plastic.

You know how Groove's feet feel slightly cool to the touch and look metallic (though they may not be; they're definitely non-ferrous)? Rust Dust's arms are also that way, as are several bits on Vicky.

I never asked you to police others- I used it as example to further illustrate how you did nothing inconsiderate. You know my thoughts on the matter and you clearly feel like their criticism was warranted- but all I see are a couple of snide finger pointers making groundless, flippant posts towards you.
While I completely agree with you that fans need to respect one another, I fail to see how you were bullying someone or stealing news, or whatever perceived accomplishment the original poster had. Maybe I just don't give enough of a crap about forums to understand what constitutes a breach of etiquette- but after this conversation I care even less than I did when I decided to stick up for you.
They're all yours bud- have at it.

What die-cast?
Archon Shiva
I'm talking no comparison, though. Maybe it's harder to make it hold upside down, or maybe it's remoulding of the chest piece, or maybe it's die-cast vs plastic, but I have a Defensor torso sitting with a Blades arm and a reasonably secure Groove chest while his other limbs get somehighlights painted, whereas looking at Rust Dust wrong pops her right off.

That's a problem I have encountered with my Legends Groove as well.
Archon Shiva
Not sure if this is relevant, but I've had mine in hand since Monday, from Automaton Toys. Thin thighs don't work well, despite the hinged feet. Rust Dust doesn't seem to hold up very well in combined mode, either.
Other than that, it's great.

I think you're reading something into my posts that isn't there.

I think the sarcasm is strong with Nevermore

It's not my business to police other people's posts. I'm not a mod, that's not my job.
All I can do is trying not to be an ass myself. I may not be able to change the world, but I can change myself.
Why did I even post my initial response? What purpose did it serve? It was done out of pure instinct. No thought behind it. All I did was show off my so-called "internet credibility" once again because I ZOMG was aware of something osenator hadn't seen. How dare someone report something that had been reported on another site before! Here, let my show you how superior I am by dumping a random link without even bothering to comment it any further, truly I am the lord of the internets.
That was not appropriate, and I again apologize for it. osenator deserves the news credit for this one because I could have reported this to TFW when I first saw it being reported at Cybertron.ca but didn't. All I did was trying to rain on someone else's parade, whether intentional or not. That's not something I'm proud of.
If that makes me a lesser person in your eyes, I'm sorry for that, but as I said above, the best thing I can do is think before I post instead of just trying to be Mr. Online 24/7 All The Time. I already have way too many news credits, do I really need to compete with others for more? This isn't a competition.
They are no more "faceless" than both you and I are. They're fellow fans and they deserve just as much respect as anyone else, whether I agree with their opinion or not.
These people did the right thing by standing up for the little guy, while I had nothing better to do but acting like a bully.
I don't see why a mod should delete justified criticism. That reeks of censorship.

Once again Orleans TRU continues to be the first place to get a CW box set. Superion I believe was first sighted there.
Sucks that they wouldn't let you buy it yet.

Internet people.
Seriously dude? Have you seen the posts that some users leave in this forum? Nothing you did could be viewed and rude or inappropriate. Why would you even acknowledge this garbage with a response. It only give these faceless posters a deeper sense of power and entitlement. You owe these people nothing.
The people who should be saying sorry and pardoning their BS posts are the ones you're directly apologizing to- jumping on you for no reason with some elevated sense of forum morality.
I don't see these white knights policing threads where posters are actually raging and attacking one another. So freaking pathetic. Can a MOD clean this thread up?
Nevermore
I apologize for my inappropriate behavior. I was in a hurry as I was getting ready for work early in the morning. I completely agree that I should have put more effort into my response or simply not replied at all.
I will try to keep that in mind for the future.
Again, I am deeply sorry if I came across like that, and I apologize if I made your stay here at TFW2005 less pleasant than it could have been.

The link was self-explanatory. You've been on this site for years, you know the drill.

… Who sent me a shipping notice for it last night.

I'm the one who made the first sighting last weekend. I went back yesterday and they had sold one already.

Hoping she hits the UK sometime soon then, I have her preordered with Kapow.

This guy gets off on proving someone else beat them to it. It is really fucking annoying.
Victorion in Canada already, hmm.. wondering how well this is actually going to sell. The boxes on these are nice. just wish the toys were cooler.
