The are finally starting to show up in my area. I saw the whole 4" line and the 6' line at a walmart and TRU. I can't believe the 6 " figures are 14.99 at Wal Mart and 17.99 at TRU. I did fork out the money for the classic figures, 19.99 at TRU. They look great! However I honestly wish they weren't as big as they are. They might be better, and certainly more affordable, if they were closer to 6" in size or the size of the original figures.
I honestly don't think the 4" or 6" fogures look bad at all. I know there are aesthetic problems with the gimmicks, but the likeness to the cartoon designs and the paint apps are pretty accurate imo. But the 6" figures do look noticeably better overall than the 4" figures.
However I prefer the original character designs to the new ones. For example panthro really doesn't look like Panthro to me. I guess I'm just G1 like that. I did watch the premiere episode which I thought was excellent, haven't seen any of the eps after that. I do think this line has promise with a strong new cartoon to back it.
here's to hoping they continue with the classic figures. I'd really like to see pretty much all the original characters redone in the new classic series.

looked for them today but all stores were either wiped out or just didnt have them(or had no clue what a thundercat was). At walmart i was told they werent getting them cause they're not ordering them but other walmarts might get them, Target had no clue, kmart there was no one to ask but the website said sold out, the first TRU said check back monday, the 2nd TRU said one guy bought them all yesterday and the 3rd TRU said 2 people bought them all yesterday (greedy bastards), they also told me that alot of people are asking about them so maybe they'll order more next time. How much you wanna bet that the prices are going to be jacked up at TRU in the next few weeks

Odd, both my local Walmarts have nearly the entire line. So far, the only thing I haven't seen yet is the Tower of Omens playset.

Well I found classics Lion-O at TRU on thursday and my Walmart just reset and no Thundercats.Ever since my TRU remodeled they have dropped many lines

Hell they don't even sell Gi Joe or DCUC

the stores around me suck they either dont order stuff or they order 1 case, especially the walmarts. They were good when i was a kid but in the past few years they just stopped giving a shit. Its just not the toys either its pretty much every thing. I never hear anyone say "oh that store is great" anymore. Only way im going to find them is if i just wait for the craze to die down or i find some way to get to the stores early on shipment day cause I refuse to pay inflated ebay prices and i cant afford to pay for shipping.

Has anyone seen this line of figures in Canada yet? I've searched every TRU, Wal-Mart and comic shop and still haven't seen anything.

I also agree that TRU and Wally world are, what seems to me, dropping the ball quite a bit in their toy departments. Sruff like Thor and Green Lantern are just hangin around forever. Seems to be a waste of time going hunting anymore.

I'm really hopin they make a newschool Driller figure though. He looked pretty sweet in episode 5.

I really don't see how anyone could have expected better from Bandai America. Everything I've seen from them, especially the Power Rangers, is stuck in the early 90s as far as quality. I was so disappointed when they got the Thundercats license.

However, I've been pleasantly surprised. The Thundercats Classics are actually much better than I expected, and probably the best figures Bandai America has ever made. But they still aren't perfect, especially Tygra.

I'm even satisfied with the 6 inch and 4 inch versions. 6 inch Lion-O is pretty neat, and I can't wait to find Cheetara. As a major TC fan, I'm going all out and buying all three scales. Needless to say I'm thankful for a temporary lag in new TF Generations!

My Walmart began their fall reset last week and had a few in stock, and TRU had a decent selection as well. I've got a fairly good collection started as a result.

I just received SDCC Lion-O too, and the paint job isn't quite as bad as some are saying. The sword stand is awesome!

Buy those Classics, guys! We need Cheetara and Panthro! And Bengali and Lynx-O! And Jaga!

what, no Classics Pumyra?

I was stoked when I realized they were making a new line to go with the new show. Some of them are good, some not so good. The main character look pretty good in the 4 in size except for Mumm-ra. He looks terrible. The Thundertank rocks and the idea of playing with the 4 in figures interacting with it is sweet. Classics Lion-O and Classics Tigra look great, I mean really great. The toys remind me of the recent classics Power Rangers Ban Dai made in the last year or two.
