[quote name='Megalith']Are any of these toys honestly worth picking up? I like the Unleashed Bumblebee and the robot heroes because of the clean detail, but after looking at the back of all the other toys, they all seem like crap in robot mode.

Barricade looks pretty good in vehicle mode.[/QUOTE]

The Blackout and Scorponok is pretty sweet. I actually don't like the Robot Heroes because they're Transformers....that don't transform.

The Titanium Soundwave is ok, the stand sucks and the transformation is too easy....but what else can you do with a robot that turns into a boombox.
 
got this today ....they're just repackaged legend class

[quote name='Gojtron']Is there a site in particular that we sould be looking at for pics/info on upcoming? I'd love to see that Prime w/sword, and see if there's a better Ironhide on the way.[/quote]

these are the only ones i can find so far

Don't know how many saw this, but Target has Optimus Prime Giftcards:

Kind of a cool collector's item
 
Linkin do you have a pic of the LE Transformers movie prequel book? Also where are they located in the store and are they free? Thanks in advance for any info.:D
 
Can any of you tell when and where I might be able to get a SDCC Rodiums Prime (Ford GT)?

I know SDCC isn't until near the end of the month so I'm hoping to avoid paying too much. I never liked Hot Rod or Rodimus but this one looks pretty sweet.

Last year I was pretty pissed that I missed Nemesis Prime but lucked out when I found a seller selling them for $35 after shipping so that wasn't too bad. Current eBay prices for Rodimus are pretty crazy too.

Also, anyone know where I can get a Alternator Prime (the red Dodge RAM)? I can't find any in store and I'm afraid to look at eBay prices.:lol:

He seems to be going pretty close to MSRP on eBay. Alternately (heh), I can figure out what it would cost to ship one, as I have a spare just sitting on a shelf.
 
[quote name='topnotch97']i just saw the Unleashed Optimus Prime (one with a vehicle mode at the rear) at a local Toys R Us. priced at $19.99

i think the unleashed bumblee looks even better than the unleashed prime.[/quote]

Damn, really? I'll have to think about that one. The molds are cool, but not great when compared to Bumblebee

[quote name='Scorch']You guys know that Optimus Prime figure is rare as fuck to find, right? I've been looking for it forever. Check out the price on this ebay auction.

http://cgi.ebay.com/Transformers-Movie-UNLEASHED-Optimus-Prime-New-Sealed_W0QQitemZ320135179774QQihZ011QQcategoryZ753QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem#ebayphotohosting[/quote]

Its not that its rare, its that its either not scheduled to be out yet, or they aren't widely available yet. I'm sure there will be a time where anyone can walk into the store and find a ton of them.
 
Well, maybe I'll pick one up then. I was thinking that Alternator Prime's price would go up due to the movie and all.

And what's up with these Alternator prices? Why are some of them so high? Like Tracks, Wheeljack, Swerve, and Mirage are all going for well above the MSRP.

I remember picked up Smokescreen and Sideswipe for $20 when they came out and never bothered to pick any more up thinking I'd be able to snag them for cheap later on. Boy was that a bad decision.:whistle2:(
 
My TRU had about 6 Soundwave re-issues, but they were all package errors. The inner clear plastic "box" was inserted backwards (could see the back of Soundwave instead of the front). I was going to pick up another one to keep sealed, but don't want to only see the back of the figure through the plastic.

That's actually how the one I bought looked like too when I bought it last week.

Mine too. I got it yesterday at TRU in Melbourne, FL. I thought it was strange, but it was the last one so I didn't care.
 
My Soundwave reissue that I bought a few days ago is also backwards, kinda weird, maybe I'll check the others they had left next week if they're still there.
 
Has anyone had any trouble with orders to hasbrotoyshop.com?

I ordered a bunch of the movie figures last month with the free basic shipping/10% deal.

The figures never came, so I called their customer service last Monday (after waiting 15+ business days, per their "please wait 7-10 business days for delivery), and the customer service rep said they will ship out another order.

I had asked them for tracking, but their basic shipping is through the USPS, and no tracking is available.

So then, on this past Friday, I get a box from the toy shop. The box is beat to hell, I mean, it looked like either the shipping department at hasbrotoyshop or the USPS employees were playing soccer with it.

I open it up and sure enough, ALL 4 of the movie figs I ordered (Scorponok, Bumblebee, Jazz, and the white tank) are just messed up royally. Figs look okay (haven't opened them), but their packaging is just smashed/crushed/ totally damaged. Oddly enough, the Sunstreaker Alternator is in surprisingly good condition.

I took photos of all the damage, but now I'm wondering if that was the original shipment, or if this is the 'new' shipment.

It really pisses me off that I wasted a month waiting for these damn things only to have them come in such horrible condition, especially since it is pretty damn hard to find any of these figs around town.

I'm hoping that this was the original order and that they sent out a replacement that will arrive in hopefully much better condition (that way I'm tempted to keep the busted up ones as loose/display figs). But I'm afraid to wait too long before doing anything, because I don't want to be stuck with this wreckage. Any thoughts on how I should handle this?

Wow, the complex movie designs (IMHO) really don't look good as Robot Heroes. The simpler, classic animation designs translate much, much better. I don't think I'm going to pick up any of the movie versions... thanks for the pics, though.

As far as Transformers that don't transform... Scorponok the toy barely transforms, mainly because he doesn't do so in the movie.

I'm surprised Target is already clearancing Bumblebee Unleashed... every Target I've been to, the toys have been flying off the shelves, especially since the movie came out.
 
If anyone is looking for an Alternators Prime you may want to check Fry's. I bought mine yesterday after some looking. Luckily I found it behind a bunch of other toy boxes just kind of sitting there with a Scion xB and the Jeep Wrangler.

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.
 
[quote name='UnderwaterMadman']Anyone know where I could pick up Robot Heroes Optimus + Unicron online and not 2x the retail price?[/QUOTE]

This pack (as well as Jazz/thundercracker) are showing up in bulk now, at least at every TRU and Target I've been to lately. Unless you're not in the US or something...

Well there is not a TRU or Target near me, only Walmart.

:lol: I would get it but I own the exact same jacket but without the Barricade police logo on the back. They're pretty expensive to, I paid $40 for mine about 2 years ago.

I'm definately getting the Voyager 2-Pack though. Its got the Camaro '08 Bumblebee.

I'm sure it's your original order. The thing is, there's no guarantee that the reship will be in any better shape.

I've ordered a bunch of stuff from hasbrotoyshop.com. I've noticed that as the order size increases, the quality of shipment decreases. The bigger the box, the more likely it will look like it's beat to hell.

I think it's the USPS. They delivered an XBOX that I purchased on eBay in the same condition (marked fragile, no less), and while UPS sometimes throws packages over our front gate (ugh!), they never arrive looking like someone dropkicked them.

For the movie toys, I ordered a bunch of Deluxes, some Titaniums, and a separate order of a Real Gear robot.

The Real Gear came in its own box, packed well, in pristine shape.

Two of my Deluxes shipped separately. They came in a mid-size box and everything was fine.

Then the rest came. I got a big box that was barely being held together by the packing tape. I initially thought it had been opened, but the packing tape was still held together by a couple of threads. Stuff was just piled inside, and Wreckage had a huge dent in its packaging. The promised free magnets were nowhere to be seen.

I open all my figures, so no big deal. But yeah -- they ship slow and sloppy. The main reason to go with them is when they have a great sale, like 25% off and free shipping.

I'm not sure what you can do about this order. In the future, if you want pristine figures still in their packaging, I'd order from somewhere else. BigBadToyStore and Amazon both package really well.

Or, if you wait for a free shipping offer from hasbrotoyshop.com, order everything separately.
 
[quote name='ryosnk']Has anyone gotten their pepsi optimus prime from hasbro yet?[/quote]

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.

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.

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.
 
[quote name='techstar25']I haven't been able to find either Bumblebee in stores. Are they not out yet?[/quote]

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