People are actually trying to find Airachnid???

A compelling-enough character can make even the worst toy look appealing.

That, and some of us simply need to complete our robot cast.

I understand that, but for me... -shudder- you will NEVER see that ugly block of plastic on my shelf, unles a friend gave it to me.

No doubt Airachnid is a block of processed horse meat. I'm one of those guys that (if it has an official toyline) needs to have all of the cartoon characters as toys, crappy or not.

i dont care how many the store has you dont buy 6 of the same figure at the same time, thats just frakin wrong man. But with that aside ive never heard of this store, and the nearest one is 45min away (thats if traffic is good) so theres no point. Ill just wait for the inevitable walmart sale.

It's called army building. Plenty of collectors do it when there's a generic guy with a toy.

And scalpers

Never in my life, have I seen ANY transformers action figures at an Aldi. And yet, they have them on sale at $9.99? Wow. Maybe I can find 4 vehicons and be done. Or maybe one and just call him Steve

If anyone snaps up Airachnid or Vehicon and wishes to sell at just about cost and add shipping then I will gladly pay for a few.

What's wrong with buying a couple for myself and four more for two friends? I didn't even clean them out. Besides I've searched long and hard for Vehicons since they were first released in wave 3 and before today found a grand total of one.

I stopped at Aldi today as well....they only had 1 RID figure mixed in with some wrestling and batman figs...
bumblebee?
you would think so....
but alas it was a vehicon!
Happy days as I now have 3 "garys" and 2 "sky garys" (flying arms micron vehicon)-- Emgo reference....gotta love that guy!

wow 6 im fine with didnt aldis sells transformers i have 2 buy me speeking of which i have 2 new rid vehicons still mint in package if anyone is intersted it was preorder i forgot to canceal

The best part of Aldi's selection is that there are NO Bumblebees. I found them this past Sunday right after they put them out. If I remember correctly, their selection includes Ratchet, Wheeljack, Deadend, Vehicon, Hotshot, Airachnid, Knockout. I admit that I picked up an extra Airachnid for its helicopter blades to cobble together a spider mode. It sort of redeems the toy, but not by much.
