And now for a sighting in a different vein. Remember the Universe 2.0 “Warriors from Three Worlds” set, that included unaltered repacks of Ransack GTS, Scattorshot and Repugnus from Transformers Cybertron that was out at Walgreens last year (and according to 2005 Boards member mykticon among others, is still on the shelves in some places)?
Well, apparently they are now turning up in Toys R Us stores for the low, low price of $24.99. 2005 Boards member rattrap007 provided us with the first news of this oddball sighting, and 2005 Boards member Nevermore gave us the first “huh, how did that happen?” reaction of the thread. Other boards members are also reporting seeing these toys in their local Toys R Us stores.
Possibly good news if you missed out on these guys on their previous outings, although if you are in the market for them, you might want to check your local Walgreens or Family Dollar in case they are available for less.

They have these on toysrus.com in stock for $12.49. You can do in-store pick up/send-to-store and not have to pay shipping.

The Universe Scout three-pack was a Sainsburys store exclusive here in the UK. Hung around on shelves for ages at the mental price of £23. It went down to £3.99 last week so it was finally worth buying.

Was making rounds in a local mall few hours ago. Saw one in the bargain bin. And its LESS THAN us$16 (after conversion from my local currency).
I skip it since I already got Scattorshot (which also was snatched in a bargain bin in my local Carrefour at about approx us$5).

I think it is more called 'Christmas shoppers'. Parents going into TRU will see that the kid will get 3 TF & decide to pick that up instead of 3 individual toys.

I understand Rodimus and Ironhide's increase, but this pack never sold to begin with. So why raise the price?

Collectors' value going up as time passes!

I know TRU likes to overprice, but this is getting ridiculous. My local TRU has Rodimus and Ironhide for $14.99 and Cybertron Ratchet for $11.99, plus these. These were $15-20 bucks everywhere a year ago, and now they get them and charge $24.99…

Shit, I didn't know this set was "sought after"… In Hagerstown MD, I've been seeing them for months at The Christmas Tree Shop.

I saw this at walgreens a couple months ago and wasn't impressed at 19.99 and really not impressed at 24.99…

I'd love to find these. Although Id prefer an all Beast Planet pack.

I got this last year for Christmas. That's because my original Scattorshots backpack snapped off, I didn't have Repungus, and the GTS Ransack is an awesome repaint.

I was selling it for 10$…
