*Still* waiting for this wave to come out at my local Wal-Mart. They didn't have any before Christmas and still have yet to get any in, all of the animated are gone as well. No restocks.

That is an insanely nice looking Hound. For a minute there i thought he was Springer. Very nice. And the Cyclonus looks especially clean.

Man, Cyclonus, Hound, Starscream, and for some reason Cheetor are really hard to find.

Michael Bell (voice of G1 Prowl) posting on TFW2005? Drops a hint of things to come?

Ok,
Researching the power of Transformers, I tripped over this site, registered, and here I am....a Transvoyeur.
I guess I am curious as to how successful I was at portraying my characters in the original series ( obviously not successful enough for Mike Bay and Tom de Santo who claim to be fans, to cast my edgy tones in the film or the producers of the new TV series whose eyes crossed when they met me,to recast me as Prowl).
I am beginning to feel a trifle neglected, especially since I am preparing a new approach to enjoying the further adventures of Transformers and Decepticons with my buddy Chris Follino who directed me in his very funny film "Gamers".
As director of this new venue, I will be hitting up my old fellow vocalbaiters to re create some of their original characters. Their asses have all dropped but their voices are pretty much intact. Not a creaky old guy in the bunch.
Of course Starscream as voiced by Chris, with pipes you could rent for breaking a lease, will be replicated by another talent. Got him penned already.
Not sure if Frank will do Megatron for me, but got the great.....whoops almost tipped it..uh...basso profundo to agree to voice that slimy can opener.
All very hush hush for the moment, but I will get back to you all, if you are interested.
In the meantime, remember, I am watching..and I am easily gratified. So talk nice.

1st look at Sideswipe TF2 toy:

I think it will get easier. I've seen them dribbling out over the past week and bought Hound and Cyclonus on Saturday. (Turned down Starscream since I already have one and Cheetor since I'm bored with Cheetor molds)

I think that lots of people used their Christmas gift cards on Transformers, if the empty pegs at Target are any indication.

I think this is true, they're slowly coming down the pipeline. I went out of town this past weekend to Jacksonville and was able to score Cyclonus (found two at one store!), Hound, and Starscream. Saw a Cheetor but passed. The only one left on my wishlist at the moment is Inferno, but it was nowhere to be found.

All I can say is that I am jealous of you guys. I wish I could get back into transformers, but one hobby had to go and it was either transformers or video games so you know what went. how much does an alternators swerve go for these days?

With Wal-Marts resetting their toy aisle I haven't bothered to hunt. Hopefully I can find Jetfire & Jetstorm soon.

I was very happy when I found Blurr at walmart yesterday, my son was thrilled. I also found swindle at Toys r us, he did not get that one yet. They had hound and cheetor but we had them already. I did not see starscream or cyclonus.

If you want the target clearance TFs, you better get there soon. Stores around me(MN) have dropped things to the 50% level.


The Big Megatron and Optimus from the movie were $27.xx

Animated Super Prime(the biggest one) was $24.xx

The exclusive Universe sets were $14.xx

That's all I remember, although the Animated exclusive sets weren't @ 50% off

Pics of Masterpiece Grimlock from Toy Forum 2009 in Japan. Also Mickey (color and B&W), upcoming Encore releases (cassettes, Combaticons) and Henkei.

Gawd. I hadn't seen the old Megatron Pics. Good thing they scrapped the 350-Z? model and is now instead a GT-R. I need to pre-order the Super Black ASAP.

-EDIT-

Looks like there's actually both models. 350Z/GT-R. One is convoy, one is megatron. Silly me. Damn. Now I need to get 2 of them.

Today at Target:
Animated Rescue Ratchet w/ Prowl & Starscream Legends - $3.74
Animated Stealth Lockdown w/ Bumblebee & Optimus Legends - $3.74
Universe Special Team Leaders Legends 5-Pack - $3.97
Universe Aerial Rivals Legends 5-Pack - $3.97

Movie items were still at the 30% mark.

Saw that Anniversary Optimus Prime for $34.xx at Targets

My Target *never* got any of the target exclusive seasonal transformers sets, or the Prime.

:(

I already pre-ordered the Masterpiece Grimlock, gotta have it! While at it, make the other Dinobots too

The Anniversary Prime was $29.99 from Amazon before Christmas. I didn't really need one, but can't say no to the price.

Oh, if you're a TF fan, get the TF Universe Hound (came with Ravage) and Cyclonus. They're very nice! I got them from Hasbrotoys.com back in December with the 25% off (free shipping too). For $8, very very nice. The TF Classic (retooled) are nice addition to the original TFs. Honestly, the original Ironhide (red van) sucks balls, it doesn't look anything like the cartoon...

It was actually $27.99 at its lowest. I haven't even opened mine yet, but it was too low to pass up. I did notice that Prime's smokestacks are ridiculously short on this new version, compared to the original and Encore versions.

That's how it was for the TRU Commemorative Series reissues of Optimus and Ultra Magnus, the 2007 Botcon Pepsi Prime and the US released 20th Anniversary Optimus. Can't risk kids poking their eyes out in this country.
