2 FE Entertainment packs at the Rockford TRU, opened the case they came in, gave them a quick look and thought "meh..not for 30 bucks".

I have my ideal Megatron and -counts- 6 Optimuses going from FOC through G2 to WFC, MP10 and MP01. I don't need any more, infact I think I'm gonna do a time scale of his "evolution" someday.

But just thought I'd let you guys know at least the FE re-releases are hitting shelves. Btw, am I the only one who thinks the Vehicon looks like crap compared to the RID version?

You are not alone, good sir. I've only seen pics of the FE Vehicon, but I like my PRIDs better. That said, I'll probably buy a couple for army building anyway. #-o

TRU by Yorktown Mall had four MP Thundercrackers as of an hour ago. I was tempted to grab one but for $70 I just couldn't, at least not today. I'd love to check out the new MP Seeker mold, but I've got the Takara MP TCracker, so I can't even justify it as roundin out the trio. It looks very nice though.

Oh also, just in case anyone WASN'T aware of this. MP Thundercracker is showing up in force in TRU's now. There was a total of SIX sitting on the shelves when I went in yesterday. Sorta makes my trip to Gurnee seem pointless had I just been patient. e.e


Argghhh my wallet can't take this much brutality. I pretty much have my children done for Christmas. But man too much stuff getting released at once. I have the funds but the mind is resisting hahaha. I was naively thinking oh well I missed Thundercracker so I got the Optimus right out.

No MP Prime in Orland Park TRU.
I asked and they told me nothing is in the back, everything is in the front.
She was looking up MP thundercracker.
In what universe does thundercracker rhyme with Optimus Prime.
Sorry for venting.
2 TP entertainment packs were there.

An item# would help you out in your search. Also the aurora TRU has at least 4 left as of 30 minutes ago.

Just found a Dreadwing at a Target in Schaumburg. Didn't think I'd find one.

Today must have been either the most luckiest day as a collector or the most miraculous. Besides finding a Dreadwing earlier today at a Target I found Asian Generations Cliffjumper and Swerve at the TRU near Yorktown mall and Prime's Rumble, Kup and a Vehicon at Fry's. Funny thing is is that I wasn't even in those places to look for transformers.

Ya know, one of the things I miss the most about G1 figures is when you get a small poster with images of all the other transformers available. It seems that every year Hasbro tries to find ways to cut corners. One of these days it's going to cost them.
