No Pepsi Primes as of yesterday. I ordered 2, tempted to open one and the other for keeping in box. I'm hoping I get them soon though.

Any of you know of an online store that'll be selling the SDCC 07 Rodiums Prime Alternator?

They are scheduled to sell SDCC 07 toys but they do go quick.

Who's 'they'? Hasbro's online store? I think that's where I first saw Nemesis Prime last year but can't remember since I had to eBay it.

If so then I guess I'll have to constantly keep checking.

Yes, Hasbrotoyshop.com

RODIMUS races in to action this July as an authentic licensed 1:24 scale Ford GT in vibrant G1 red deco with gold flames. TRANSFORMERS ALTERNATORS: RODIMUS will be a limited edition exclusive only at Comic Con in San Diego, July 26-29, 2007, while supplies last, for the suggested retail price of $24.99. TRANSFORMERS ALTERNATORS fans not at Comic-Con this year can also purchase limited quantities of RODIMUS from HasbroToyShop.com.

My guess is they will be up early July 26th

dear God, I'm not even going to attempt any SDCC exclusives through HBTS after the debacle last year with Nemesis Prime. I was refreshing the damned page for, oh, about 2 hours. Went from coming soon to OOS, never in stock. Some people called in and placed an order via phone. I tried that as well, as soon as I saw it was suddenly OOS from Coming Soon, but they wouldn't let me order over the phone (same with many other people) so it was a complete crapshoot of luck over who you got on the phone when you called.

I'll prolly check it out, cuz I really want a Rodimus, but aren't about to get my hopes up, and I could care less about Mensaur (love the Titanium mold, hate the recolor. Still looks like a purple and grey/black Rodimus Prime, not a dif. character)

I am thinking of getting both Transformers movie voyager starscream and blackout, but i'm wondering is there any other good transformers figures out there? I'm ordering pepsi optimus prime soon and also anyone own any voyager figures? I'm thinking of buying an extra starscream to transform him into robot mode, but i've heard he can't stand up on his own also how is the quality of it?

My favorite robots optimus prime, starscream, blackout, soundwave, hotshot, bumblebee, and dinobot from beastwars.

I'm also wondering is there any good collectors figures I should look out for?

What movie toys should I get that looks pretty good?

The 20th Anniversary Optimus Prime is next on my place......except for maybe the Voyager Optimus and 08 Camaro Bumblebee two pack, depending on when that releases.

Originally Posted by techstar25 So let me get this straight... You called on Monday. They said they would re-ship. You received the package 4 days later on Friday. I think that's too soon. I believe the package you have now is the OLD shipment, that likely got lost and that's why it's so beaten down. If I were you, I would wait another week and hold on to what you have. I bet you get your other shipment soon. Then you'll have the beat up ones to play with. If you call now, they'll ask you to send the busted ones back. Patience is a virtue. This is probably going to work out in your favor. Actually, I gotta give props to the cust service for shipping another order, basically no questions asked.

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking (in terms of this beat up shipment being the original and another one hopefully on the way).

And it was about 21 business days that I waited for the original. As far as no questions asked, I specifically asked them if there was a way to track the order shipment, as I was worried someone jacked it.

I will probably end up sending the beat up toys back anyway...I'm not looking to rip anyone off. But boy was it disappointing to wait almost a month just to get that virtual pinata box.

Not yet. Not sure when either...I'm guessing late Aug/early Sept.

The "old" bumblebee has been out for a while, I just think he's really popular.

The "new" bumblebee, and the $100 one, aren't out yet.

That's not too reassuring... I might just go get one from eBay then if it's too busy.

BTW, have they re-released any G1 gestalts recently or are they planning on any? I remember Onslaught (as Ruination) in the RiD line but that's pretty much it.

Not that I'm aware of (at least no original mold re-releases...they've had various 'character reinterpretations'), but I believe there are various Chinese factories that make knock offs of varying 'quality' of some or all of the G1 gestalts, along with others from G1. I've seen:

Devastator/Constructicons
Defensor/Protectobots
Superion/Arialbots
Bruticus/Combaticons
Menasor/Stunticons

Apparently some of these knock offs are pretty damn close to the originals, but the quality level varies greatly. I've never seen knock offs of the end of the G1 gestalt line like the Technobots/Computron or the Terrorcons or Seacons, which I believe were the last ones here in the states. Nor have I seen any knock offs of Predaking.

And of course, growing up, I came across all sorts of knock offs, mostly cheap Chinese crap - mainly all sorts of Dinobots and Dinobot variations, and deluxe Insecticon variations.
