I just picked up my CW G2 Superion today. VERY NICE. I'm definitely going to pick up G2 Menasor.

At least most of them are transformed correctly. Poor Menasor has to deal with terrible shins and 1 horn.

One photo previously missing from the stock photo sets was of the assembled Superion himself, and… well, Menasor isn't the only gestalt mistransformed in the official photos.

I got this and did a review.
It is pretty neat, but not sure a new paintjob is worth the extra dough.

I kind of like this look, but since he doesn't scale with my only CW combiner- I'll pass.

The price not being terrible is still great as far as I'm concerned. For the online retailers like BBTS and TCP to keep that price when buying a full combiner set of the individual figures would actually be MORE expensive still makes this a good deal (or at least a decent one). Most of the Platinum Edition sets have been overpriced. This set manages not to do that.
It's certainly not the good deal that say ROTF Superion was when he went on sale (I think even the regular price was 35$ or so which was still great). But it's not overpriced unless you consider that even retail prices are more than they should be these days.

Seriously, this.
So many folks just don't bother to do the math (or do it wrong), or they are typically price-complacent TF fans. A small discount would go a long way, but seems to me… seems to me that TFs are not selling well at all. It would explain the high prices applied to the small consumer sect. If these toys sold better, we'd see more discounts (as paradoxical as that sounds). $100 isn't as bad as I would expect, but it could be a lot better. Times are tough for EVERYONE, Hasbro; not just you.
Thanks, Nevermore! I'ma' takin' a look!

I just did a review of this in the video review board.

For those who don't stumble into Transformers Toy Discussion often, I've compiled a list of all purchase options for G2 Superion:

It's actually essentially the same price as buying them separately, and usually the idea of a pack is there is a discount for buying in bulk.
So while in the face of some insane Hasbro price gauging over the last couple of years this seems like a steal, it is just what we used to call normal, sane, acceptable pricing.

I got mine off of TCP. I'm surprised by how reasonably priced this is. With CA sales tax the sum of those parts would actually be greater than the mere $100 they're charging. And I used the fairest prices I could think which is still less than what Target's been charging for deluxes and voyagers as of late.
I hope Menasor goes up soon as well so I can ship both at once.

Changed my mind. I cancelled TFS and ordered from Walmart. I pick it up next Friday. Free store pick up and a grand total of 105.46
T-Hybrid
Wow. Even HTS got it without narry a word from Hasbro on a release window.
But isn't January when a few people said it was listed under for TRU's computers? Guess we can expect that May Computron in May.
When was Victorion listed?
On the plus side, if this is the pattern to expect…I'm less concerned about getting one as it appears the "Collector Packs" will thankfully be ALL OVER when if comes to online retail.
Good on Hasbro. One for one so far.

Always happy to see anything from G2, the neon color schemes have a charm to them.
