I've seen him in TRU, Walmarts, 1 Target, and 2 K-Marts. He's a regular release.

Where in Canada do you live? I'm up in New York and we've got some Megatrons here. I'm be willing to work out picking one up in store and posting him across the border if it'll be cheaper. They are about $45 USD here though, so not sure how much that'll help.

Is it more that there's been a spate of journalistic copy concluding that? There's more scope for dogpiling online, but anyone visiting meatspace on a regular basis is going to be reminded that not everyone likes bagpipes or has a fetish for amputee porn. In the mid 1950's the cognitive dissonance ...

At the risk of this taking a political turn, it's not specific to TF fans. I see it in the coverage of politics and most other things here in America, and I see it here on the internet with a variety of subjects. Way too many things are becoming polarized these days, especially opinions on people. ...

Not an awful solution to the Exhaust problem, depends on how their choice of paint matches the texture and color of what's on the figure. Though I think they should have aimed for a paint that would wash off rather than one that has to be scratched. Something like the 'permanently affixed' barrel p...

After the way it's all played out, I don't think Hasbro ever did plan to release the originals. It doesn't seem like they saw the backlash coming at all. Slingshot and Wildrider are online/Diamond exclusives that just appeared out of nowhere, which just screams "panic move" to me. I mean,...

I have to ask (and not in an accusing way), but if you had paid $20 for them, would you be more disappointed? I know that when I pay big money for something, I'm a lot more likely to force myself to like it. I think a number of 3rd party toys wouldn't get such good reviews except that people have p...

It's probably the latter, honestly. I have a passel of extra stickers from them, usually a few per sheet, that are included as "optional".

Honestly, I'm surprised their hasn't been any backlash from cinema chains, distributors or even production studios about this. Tickets to a 2:45 movie cost exactly the same as tickets to a 1:30 movie, after all, and by making the movies longer they're reducing the number of showings they can do per...

And I'd be surprised if it attracted many casual buyers at all (by which I mean, folks who'll just pick up one or two figures here or there without trying to gather a complete set). This is me to a T. I've only got 2 MP figures as it stands because I'm not terribly interested in Wheeljack, Sideswip...

So I don't have him in hand yet, but my wife just bought me AM-12 Breakdown for my birthday. I'm rather looking forward to getting the last major figure to finish off my Prime collection. On another note I was fiddling with CW Breakdown and noticed that the 5mm plug on his back I assume for weapon s...

In other news, "items that infringe on Hasbro's IP" are now banned from BotCon. FunPub's PR flack is very insistent about not using the term "third party" for whatever reason, which naturally means that nobody really has a clue what he just banned the dealers from selling and ev...

I've got my Brainstorm behind my Classics Voyager Prime and Prime comes to Brainstorm's chin. He's a tall one alright, and a bit wider then Prime without the wings.

Actually, there's no solid proof that Prowl is a retool of First Aid. All there is pointing to that is the line art or whatever of First Aid showing him with Prowl-like horn things on his head. Which could very easily be Ratchet-like horn things instead. Am I alone in being amused that we may get a...

Wait, what? :lol: I had a little tag from UPS on my door that said she had my package. I went to get it and she was confused. Her 7 year old told her my son was home, he was not as he was with me. She gave her son my box to deliver it to us. He ended up putting it on a porch several doors down...in...

There is a little story behind today's post but here goes: CW Air Raid: YES! Finally I can put Superion together with all his proper team limbs. If you've gotten Firefly or Skydive you know what to expect for the most part. I do appreciate his swings do sweep in plane mode. Of the combiner Autobots ...

I was looking at my Superion and now that we are getting a Slingshot I can't help but to feel like that kid growing up. The one with three guys from one combiner team and two limbs from other random teams tacked on to form one combiner because they couldn't complete a set.

Woot! I'm happier about these then I should be.

Not that there is anything wrong with Alpha Bravo. He's a neat toy, and stand in, all on his own.

CW Blackjack : No sign of wave 2 of anything else, but I found him randomly in a TRU. I rather like this little guy. He does a few things interestingly for his size class and I rather enjoy them. People have said he's hard to get to stay in Motormaster's chest, but I can get him to stay in Optimus'...

Supposedly the bar code sleuths turned up listings for Slingshot and Wildrider at Toys R Us from Hasbro as well, but they remain to be seen. If it is true it'll probably be like the GDO releases not terribly long ago. I really hope it is true. I could go for both of those figures, although I like A...
