While searching to find his first IDW Deluxes, Seibertron.com news crew member Mindmaster stumbled upon the much anticipated Generations: Thrilling 30 Deluxes Hoist and Thundercracker! They were both spotted in a Wal*Mart on Sigmund Rd, Wilmington, North Carolina.

Happy hunting!

You've got to post a picture of that! :lol: HAha! Man... I wonder if you could sell it as a SUPER VARIANT! like you mentioned? :lol:

Well, at least he isn't a Voyager or bigger. Factory errors suck... more so when you've spent over $20. I don't know about you, but I've never really bothered returning them... though I save the packaging for a while in case.... :BOOM:

Its nice to know I'm not the only one who gets that kind of crap. I actually had gotten a Generations G1 Thundercracker with two left thighs. The right leg would only bend backwards. But I returned it.

You didn't return it?

Once I actually FIND another at retail I will. I live in a crapzone as far as new product goes. I just barely got an Orion Pax the same day as the Thundercracker.

How can it be said that "No one stepped forward to present their findings" if both figures have multiple reported sightings in the Seibertron Toys Sightings Section? Is it because those users didn't create a separate entry in a different forum? I honestly don't get it.

Ah. That explains it. We try to keep our news sources "in house" as much as possible.

They are available for order and ship next week on Hasbro Toy shop as well. Debating if I want to get them or not. I have Trailcutter and screamer, but then I would have to get Skywarp from Takara... choice choices.

You realize that Hasbro is releasing their own Skywarp, in the correct arrangement of black and purple, right?

Any good coupon codes currently active?

Also, come to think of it, I do seem to remember reading that Hasbro was doing Skywarp. I think it was announced/revealed at SDCC. I found this:
