Classics Mirage & Optimus Prime/Megatron two-pack out

Posted by:

New toys out in the USA once again.

TFW2005 member alphie reported having found the "Optimus Prime vs. Megatron - The Ultimate Battle" two-pack at a Toys'R'Us store (just to avoid confusion: The two-pack is NOT a TRU exclusive, it was just found there first!). While not "officially" part of the "Classics" line (which technically isn't actually a true "line" in the strict sense), the packaging is kept in the same style. For those who managed to miss the news thus far, the accompanying DVD features a summary of the Optimus Prime/Megatron battles from the Armada/Energon/Cybertron continuity, narrated by Garry Chalk.

Remember to report your own sightings of the "Optimus Prime vs. Megatron - The Ultimate Battle" two-pack here.

Meanwhile, Allspark member kmfdmsgod reported having found Mirage from the second wave of the Classic Deluxe assortment at a Target store in Sioux City, Iowa. Mirage's case mate Grimlock, meanwhile, was nowhere to be found (for those wondering, the current case breakdown is 2x Mirage, 1x Grimlock, 2x Bumblebee, 1x Astrotrain, 1x Starscream and 1x Rodimus).

Remember to report your own sightings of Classics Mirage here, and sightings of Classics Grimlock here.

Cool! I hope this means I might see wave 2 soon. I really want Jetfire and Ramjet! I also think the Ultimate Battle looks cool too. By the way Nevermore, where was the Toys R Us?

Apparently it was a TRU store in Kansas City, Missouri.

I think the Ultra Magnus vs. Skywarp (repaints of Optimus and Starscream) is a store exclusive. Target, maybe?

I can confirm this. I went out there yesterday and bought the 2nd to last set from the Independence, MO TRU. Set looks pretty nice.

Check the entry in the sightings section. They're Target exclusives, yes. :-)

Then why didn't you post a sighting yet? Would be more useful than the "sighting" I just deleted, with the "store" given as "off of tfans.com", and a comment "he said he found it at an tru". :-)
