Weapon: Astro Blaster
OP you are right he would have said it was out of stock because they are not probably allowed to sell it yet. I do not know. I prefer to order mine online however. Even if you buy it on line I think they will only ship it after 16th of May which is the official release date.

Weapon: Switch Blade Tail
Nabbed him myself, at the Erie PA Target.

They had ONE case of the Leaders in stock and I got the only Sentinel in the store.
Almost had the Deluxes, but they couldn't find their location in the back room.
Voyagers are there, but the computer says they're still in a storage bin.

As for Sentinel himself? ROTF Optimus Prime has nothing on him in terms of transformation complexity. Everything has to be moved out of the way for another piece to move, then you have to move the first piece back. Then on top of that, it's panel, panel, panel, tab, tab, tab, tab, swivel, twist, snap, snap, snap, and it's ridiculous.

I couldn't even transform him the first two times I attempted it. The directions are pure crap.

The figure itself is quite nice in robot mode. The vehicle mode is nice if you don't use the gimmicks.

The transformation will make you want to punch a wall.

Walky over at Shortpacked! summed it up nicely.

I didn't think the transform was too terrible. I figured it out without the instructions. Although when I went back through and tried using the instructions, they definitely were not very helpful.

But I think he has a face only his mamma can love...and his shade of red sucks. The one thing I can give him credit for, though, is they split up his panels well. He at least doesn't have a huge ass backpack or ridiculous amounts of unsightly kibble all over him. I still think he's a mediocre fig at best, though.

On my second attempt I finally managed to get an employee pull one from the back for me. The panels are a pain to line up but awesome transformation otherwise.

Just wondering. So the 16th of May is the official street date? I was planning a trip to a couple of TRU's with my girlfriend and her son and didn't want to run into the 'can't sell you them' junk.

If you go out before the 16th your odds of getting these are relatively low, and close to 0% from TRU as they have the street dates come up at the register. If you work the system you might pull off getting something early from Target.
