What I got on Sunday...
I decided to take a walk up to the nearest TRU, Fred Meyer and KMart in search of TFs this past Sunday.
I walked into TRU not expecting to find anything interesting as it takes 4 months longer for TRU to get anything than it does all the other stores in Spokane. Much to my suprise I find "Powermaster Optimus Prime w/ Apex Armor", "screw that, it's God Ginrai" floats through my mind followed closely by "MINE!!!" Last one on the shelf too. Woohoo! They also had Scavenger, a ton of Lasorbeaks, Demolishers, and random Mini-con packs and Sideways and Thundercracker but I'm not interested in those so I moved on...
In to Fred Meyers I walk carrying a ginormous ToysRUs bag and hoping they don't hassle me about it and my backpack. I made it to the toy section unaccosted(sp?) and grabbed one of many Blurrs. They had Scavenger, Cyclonus, Hot Rod and some of those PVC things but, again, not interested...
At KMart I, again, make it to the toys without incident where I take a gander at the TFs available and find Scavenger, Demolisher, Smokescrean and random Mini-Cons. Not interested. I was kind of hoping to miraculously find Thrust but to no avail. So I went and bought some socks (a guy can never have too many socks)

Y'know I hadn't realized how awfully out of proportion PM Prime was when I was a kid. It looks so much nicer as God Ginrai. Not a terribly great toy but what can I say, I'm a sucker for toys I had when I was a kid...
BTW, has Thrust been sighted in stores yet? I need some more Armada Decepticons. Megs and Starscream are outnumbered 2 to 1 and none that have been released yet appeal to me...

I went to TRU today and picked up Silverstreak, but I went hoping to find Skywarp. Does anybody know if he is out, or when he will be?

I found God. Then I lost him. He'll probably turn up down the back of the sofa someday.

That pic's from the Toys R Us website. (US Toys R Us obviously).
What's the anime Bluestreak look like, anyway?

It looks like the one you posted... black paint on the bonnet & roof. Hmm, personally I don't trust TRU's site myself...
If he does have the black paint, I'll have 2 Bluestreaks. Yeah I mean "Bluestreak"!
I have issues with the renaming...

The picture on the box shows with black hood and t-roof, but all six toys on the shelf were plain silver. I might end up painting them myself. Also, the launchers don't launch the missles, they just hold them. I put Prowl's launchers on him because I think they look better.
