WOW.

The real question is: Why is there a CW Scattersh- OOHHH Alphahawk!
Sammael
We got CW a bit later, and that wave of voyagers has been clogging the shelves ever since. We never got any TR or PotP, and I doubt we'll get Siege. Same goes for Movie lines, we never got regular DotM or AoE figures, just kiddified figures and shampoo bottles. TLK and now Studio Series are a bit better. HOWEVER, the biggest issue is the price. I don't think I've bought any TF here in 5+ years, since it's cheaper for me to order anything online. Even with shipping and 30% customs and VAT, I end up paying less – and with Chinese sellers, I often don't have to pay for shipping and they declare fake value so customs is also less of an issue. Also, DexyCo is a monopoly since they are the primary distributor for almost all toy companies AND they own the biggest retail chain with 30+ locations in the country. They also don't do discounts…

What kind of time portal is Serbia in? A Combiner Wars figure?! What's it been, four years since that line first came out? I feel sorry for the Serbian kids.

I'd also like to see pics of this. Either people over there really don't like that toy or somebody's created an oddly specific time capsule. (Can't believe it's been 12 years…)Those things should be heavily discounted if they're still selling them for full price. Are they selling any other TFs that time forgot in that store?

The real news item here is people in Serbia are getting completely screwed on local price markups. I hope customs are cheap, because those retail prices are brutal.

I'll stop by the mall again tomorrow and take one

Not that anyone care, since my news from Serbia always get ignored, but BotBots are finally available here. Photo was taken today in one of the DexyCo chain stores (in Delta City mall). Price of the smaller pack is 1,799 RSD (approximately 15.5 EUR or 17 USD), and the bigger one is 2,799 RSD (24 EUR/27 USD).
Pictured next to them is one of the millions of unsold CW Scattershots. Robot Replica Frenzy is still holding on to his shelf place after 10+ years in the same store. They also had Studio Series Brawl, Starscream, and Optimus, but I figured that probably isn't news…
