Here is something bizarre. It appears that the Titans Return Strength set – also known as “Siege on Cybertron” – is showing up in the computer systems of Canadian software and hardware stores. Stores such as SoftwareCity.ca, PC-Canada, and DirectDial are listing “1pk Transformers Gen Series Strength”, which is the working name of the Siege on Cybertron set. This implies that the set’s Big Bad Toy Store exclusivity only applies to the US, and it will be available through other channels elsewhere in the world.

Proven wrong.
Siege on Cybertron now also at Walmart Canada.
This makes at least seven purchasing options for Canadians:
Amazon Canada

Walmart Canada
Software City
PC-Canada
Direct Dial

So, quick question, worth buying the set from Taiwan/Hong Kong? BBTS is sold out. Is Hasbro really going to just sell through ONE online store when they have their own online store (HTS)? And they only sold this few copies?
The asian market sells it for 180$ shipped, but individual prices are already in the boundaries of ridiculousness (20$ for Thunderwing titan master only!) Not sure why Hasbro has to limit the availability of the set… They could have taken preorders through HTS and would have seen how much demand there is… plus avoid the middleman.

Weird, I haven't heard of any of those sites either, though I'm not really into the computer world anymore.
I haven't seen it offered by Hasbro Canada's distributor, but I was having communication issues for a long time, so I may have missed it.

That's because they just plain misused the phrase "hardware store."

1) Thanks for mentioning a store I wasn't aware of. Will have a rake later.
2) Hasbro have really angered me with this. Bundling figures like this is bad enough (I want complete sets of the clones so very badly) but making them this hard to get hold of and not catering to smaller markets like the UK is frustrating in the extreme. They'd been doing so well with Titans Return too, at least until everyone saw the Movie coming and started clearing shelves for the massively price-hiked toyline.

Still not see Chaos on Velocitron here in the UK 🙁 Had to import mine for £££
*IF* it's not a worldwide exclusive, as Chaos appears to be for TRU, the UK importers who source from the far east should be able to get hold of it.
My money is on Amazon and Entertainment Earth for the next two sets.

No NAILs in this set, just Autobots/Decepticons

I don't think Hasbro would've given a titan class figure to an Armada character, honestly I'm surprised we even got this.

He's called Shockwave in Micron Legend.
YoungPrime
Shockwave?

Yay… a new Tidal Wave head instead of a completely new updated Tidal Wave figure that could've been an awesome titan class… I'll stick with the original figure thanks.

I doubt it, but I REALLY hope we see this somewhere in the U.K, even if it\'s just a KapowToys exclusive

I`m so looking 4ward to POUNCE Joy will be all over my face . I`m still on the fence with TIDALWAVE ….. `m sure not getting the full set …. I`ll pay inflated prices …don`t bother me ….. buying the box set would still cost more to me in the long run … besides I totally don`t want to have to sell the other figures that I don`t want out of the box set …. Idk how it will play out , but I can all mo0st feel the DECEPTICON Clones in my hands now .
Toolala
That Shockwave still looks bad.

I'm just happy that I can finally find TFs when out shopping for nails or tools. Because I've sent Hasbro enough complaint emails, believe me.
Alas, I'm not as Canadian as my avi implies, so I'll have to suffer crap USA junk toys at my hardware shop.
