Just went online to Toyco at midnight and saw I just missed a sale, but the prices were still discounted. So nabbed Shocks. Going to shoot him with my KO Nerf gun. Then I saw Spiderham!!! Now why is Typhoid sold out over Venom?!?
You should check out Trypticon at The Warehouse.

@TCJJ NZ toyworlds are actually independantly owned (it is a franchise here ) and those stores can set their own prices. Another toyretailer today has just listed the line as instock for better pricings Toyco ontop of that spoke to another store this evening which had even better pricing still

The good side in not having any TF toys sold in ones' country…

Those prices are batshit crazy, but keep in mind that ToyWorld is owned by Toys 'R' Us, so their prices will always be skewed higher than MSRP (by anywhere between $5-$10 for a Deluxe, for example).
Anyway, these toys generally look like hot garbage, so I'll be avoiding them. Most of the RID Warriors actually turned out okay but even some of those looked fine in stock imagery. These don't at all, and I can still hardly tell which ones are gimmick toys and which aren't (or, more precisely, which ones aren't – most of them seem to be gimmick-ridden).
Also, my anecdotal observation is that, at least in New Zealand (because our stuff is so bloody expensive), parents seem to be buying the cheaper toys for their kids. $50 Deluxes/Warriors? Hah, good luck moving those. I saw one family who thought $40 Voyagers were overpriced (and Voyagers have been NZ$50 here for YEARS, though they're now anywhere from $55-$60 at normal retail, so these ones were on sale).
It is ToyWorld pricing though, so it doesn't mean a lot, but MSRP on our Deluxes is up to at least $40 now anyway, so either way, it sucks.
Probably doesn't help that our government has been absolutely destroying our economy less than a year into power. And people think Trump is bad. Heh. I'd take him any day of the week.

this warrior shockwave looks good! as for bee, nah…

Everytime I see that warrior shockwave, I want him more and more. He\'s not worth more than $10 at most to me, but I get the feeling I may end up buying him at regular price anyway. I\'m too much of a Shockwave junkie.

I finally got to see these abominations in person today. If people buy these things it will justify Hasbro's cost cutting and it will continue unabated.
It really isn't apparent from the package that the $8 Legend scale guys don't actually transform. The package also obscures the warrior Starscream as much as possible so you don't notice the hollow non-bending legs.
Meanwhile you can buy a two pack of off brand Nerf guns with two sticky wall bugs and twelve darts for $3.99 that is placed in a rather large full color cardboard package with two plastic blisters.

keep in mind 50nzd is about 33 usd, and our normal deluxes cost about 30 to 35 so this is abit shocking when it comes to price.

Nice spotting Mr D! Not my style either but it's still cool to see they've reached us.
Come one, early releases of Bumblebee toys!
Mr.Deflok
These aren't my thang but they are someones cup of tea!
Spotted at Toyworld which is our most expensive toy's retailer. Generally everything is SRP/RRP + 20%.
The big Prime was $79.99 NZD, the deluxes (Shockwave, Bee, Prime and Starscream) were $49.99 NZDand the legends were $14.99 NZD.
I suspect normal retail will be more like $59.99, $34.99 and $9.99.

Gotta admit, big Prime looks really nice. Looks like a good fun toy even if the alt mode is just weird. Not sure why the windvane is a separate piece but I haven't been following this line.
EDIT: Oops, one-steps there too and whatever class that Grimlock is
