Amazon has G2 Bruticus for $47.99!!! http://www.amazon.com/Transformers-A1051-G2-Bruticus/dp/B007MCNI30/ref=sr_1_1?s=toys-and-games&ie=UTF8&qid=1356154700&sr=1-1&keywords=bruticus

DEAD.

Found Generations Voyager Soundwave at TRU today, along with both disc sets. I just picked up Soundwave and an Ultimate Generations Gift Set (recolor Jazz + recolor G2 Prime + two legends).

I had thought the latter was online only, but there it was, and it was the only one there with no shelf tag. I figured I can always return it, but I may never see it again.

Generations Voyagers are 22.99, which is reasonable and better than the 26.99 to 29.99 they want for the Prime Voyagers. The giftset was 29.99.

Saw this on amazon, not sure if its a deal but seemed cheaper then some of the buy it now's on ebay etc.

Sentinel prime mech tech leader for 22.99

I have a bunch of G2 25th anniversary Transformers that I'm looking to unload, where is a good place to sell these?

I have stuff like MP Skywarp, Inferno, Soundwave, I even have a few Japanese sets like Takara Tomy Skywarp & Thundercracker dual pack, all sealed of course. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I found a FREE kreo transformers mini figure coupon in the inserts from an old paper. I think it is from 3 weeks ago.

I saw soundwave and blaster but. Really don't like their fall of cybertron molds. All I want now is ultra Magnus, I think his FOC mold is awesome.

I can't believe there are still plenty of thundercracker masterpieces at my TRU after Christmas. It has a nice build, might get a second one for display (individually in robot and jet mode, hehe)

I saw a bunch too, I was also surprised as well.

It's not really a kids' toy, not a currently well-known figure, and relatively expensive. It's not too surprising. Had it been slightly cheaper and, say, Starscream, I bet they would have sold out, especially since Transformers really had nothing going on this holiday season. My local TRU has a bucket of Optimus Maximus figures that nobody wants and Target cleared weeks ago.

Sadly, Thundercracker will probably be looked at as a reason why they shouldn't stock too many exclusives, when the real lesson is don't let them dribble in one at a time and then oversaturate them.

There was a dramatic difference between the early shipments -- the most I ever saw was one or two, which were instant scalper-bait -- and the later shipments, when they'd appear six at a time. Had they appeared in battalions of six or more from the beginning, they never would have been scalped to the degree they were.

I can understand this, since I am often lukewarm on "Cybertronian" modes.

Soundwave is really nice, though. I liked the deluxe version. I think I like this one better. Just the robot is a very good Soundwave figure, plus the disc launching is pretty nifty. I also typically don't care about gimmicks, but I really like the way they made it possible to hold several discs or none at all.

The vehicle is good, with no gappy parts or unfinished areas. It's a good, solid vehicle that isn't ad-hoc in the least. About the only thing I'm not wild about is that it's more blast shield than windshield, but it's not a big deal.

I also have to say you get a lot of value here. It's a substantial, Voyager sized figure with great articulation, a decent amount of paint apps, and Laserbeak included. I like the discs much more than I thought I would.

I probably won't be triple-dipping on this mold, but I may end up picking up Blaster, which I wasn't expecting to do. There have been a lot of recent disappointments, and a general feeling of cheapness and smallness of recent Transformers, and I don't feel that at all with this figure. It's not quite as heavy as some past figures, but they did an impressive job of hiding where the reductions took place, to the point that I really wasn't thinking about it.

Will soundwave be at Target and Walmart or just Toys R Us? I saw him once and did not buy him at TRU. I bought the Frenzy and ratbat ravage and rumble legend size discs yesterday so now I want him. Oh I also saw Prime first edition optimus prime voyager- $ 26 I put him on hold, we already have the PRID optimus and I dont have a lot of $. I also saw Deluxe Ultra Magnus, put him on hold also. They wanted 17.99 for him.

I assume they'll have Soundwave at Target/Walmart, but I've seen no signs as of yet. They are carrying Generations because they had FoC Deluxe Sideswipe at Target yesterday. I passed because I ordered everything but Insecticon (sold out) at BBTS.

Target and Walmart just seem to be pretty dismal lately. The sections are small and infrequently updated. They have gotten in Voyager Ultra Magnus and Thundertron, though, so not completely asleep.

Also really sad is that I've seen maybe two of the Bruticus guys total, over five or so Targets. I feel sorry for anyone trying to complete the set one at a time.

I stopped by TRU with my daughter the other day so she could spend some holiday cash on Lego Friends and I picked up a few of the new TFs. I grabbed all four of the data disc guys and beast hunter soundwave. The discs are pretty nifty but are too much like those silly bakugan things for me to really like them. Plus the play pattern after they spring up into their bot modes is fairly limited due to the springy nature of the transformation (much like the bakugan). I have a feelign these will spend more time int heir purple plastic cases than out of them. I need to pick up soundwave or blaster to see how the whole thing comes together. As for BH soundwave, I expected more than just a color palette change and some swooshy bits added to t he original mold. The transformation is nearly identical to the original Prime soundwave. Also the claw weapon that came with mine is actually glued together at the joint so the claw doesn't open. Not sure I'm going to pursue many of these BH guys if they turn out to be like this.

Every store near me is just a cluster of either empty shelves, or shit so old nobody will ever buy it.

Also, Beast Hunters is gonna save me sooooooo much ing money its not even funny. I love beast wars, and TM2 dragon Megs is one of my favorite figures ever, but all the "dragon" figs in Beast Hunters just look terrible thus far imho, and the non-beasts are primarily spikey remolds of existing mediocre figures...

Thanks for saving me money Hasbro, but please don't kill the damn brand...

TRU had the exclusive optimus prime figure let those come one and two,at a time and when the demand increased they took the price from 99 to 115. It would have been a great if they could have had some MP primes on the shelves for the holiday sales rush as well. I would hope that they would see the success they had with MP prime as a reason to keep the exclusive figures and MP figures coming.

I ended up going to TRU today (looking for FOC Ultra Magnus) and saw soundwave and soundblaster sitting there...same two I saw before and picked them both up. I'll get some discs as well but I think I'll wait for a sale or price drop. When I read the description of the cybertronian mode they called the vehicle a Communications truck and I liked that. They
Should have made soundblaster be blaster (autobot) instead.

He's coming in a later wave.

He looks good actually.

I went to TRU today found kickback, starscream, ultra magnus, and air raid, even sideswipe but he's the only ones didn't pick up.

Starscream sucks, his body is too hollow, and the botto and rear side of thie jet doesn't look right.

Air raid and kick back are great, no complaints

Magnus is great, this cybertronian truck works better for him than it does prime. They should have made this mode into a voyager size figure.

Not sure if anyone saw that these were coming out/getting re-issued:

BBTS has them as well for $5 cheaper combined (not counting shipping).

I bought Thundertron at TRU awhile back using that Groupon deal that was on here, if he is returned with a gift receipt will I get the full value back or just the 6.99 or whatever he cost after using the Groupon? I ask because I'm thinking of getting a set off of BBTS that includes him to get Voyager Skyquake, but I don't want to lose all that money if I won't get the full value back. I wasn't sure how gift receipts worked in that regard or even how TRU treats returns using coupons when you'll take credit not just cash.

The value of the groupon will be given back to you in store credit, the rest will be given back to whatever from of payment you used. If you use a gift receipt to return, you will get everything back in store credit.
