Optimus is a buy on sight. Predaking...maybe. Otherwise, I'm really anticipating Magnus and Shockwave.

still not sold on these guys, primes robot mode is good but the alt mode is horrible & predakings alt mode is also horrible & his robot mode looks like something out of an old anime. I will reserve final judgment until i see them in person but unless they're on sale for $15 these are probably going to be a pass.

I live in Cedar Rapids, IA and all of the Walmart shelves have been pretty much empty since black friday. They have all rearranged for a re-set and new tags are out, but still no new toys on the shelves. I am getting irritated. The Targets around here are stocking new stuff recently and at least keeping some stuff on the shelves. Toysrus is hit or miss. I will buy Optimus the first chance I get, scratch that, two of them and add them to my collection.

Highly anticipated? Are they really?
I saw some of these in Target the other day and mistook them for baby toys. The Deluxes were $18 each. This line is a tragedy, and clearly a placeholder until the TF4 line comes along.

i really hope you're just trying to be exaggerative.. otherwise you sound very unintelligent.

these CLEARLY aren't "baby toys". and if you think they do.. you CLEARLY have the wrong hobby.

people do want these things. i know i want the new voyager prime.

however, i'm definitely going to be waiting for the larger scale predaking.

and you seriously think they're waiting for the TF4 line to come out.. .. which makes sense because they can't give away the left over TF3 figures. .. oh wait.. it doesn't.

I'll probably get OP, but I'm waiting for the Leader Predaking.

Then again, if they're making a Leader Predaking, don't you think a Leader OP is likely too? Maybe I should just wait for that. Do you guys think there will be a Leader version of BH OP?

It's not a leader class. It's Ultimate Class; bigger than Leader.

Guys, it's Ultimate, not Leader. These two are the same toy.

Ah, then that explains it, thanks :)! I guess we are getting an 'Ultimate' sized OP too then. That's good news. I'm still totally getting the Voyagers too though :P.

No idea, but I've been noticing the same thing with a lot of their figures lately. BBTS seems to wait a lot longer, especially for Hasbro releases, to get instock these days (at least that's how it's been for me for at least a few months now). The Takara stuff generally gets instock when they project it to (unless there are manufacturer delays as there were with MP Soundwave), but I'm guessing that's because it's a different supplier.

:lol: no kidding. I just checked BBTS and it said the first round of Beast Hunters figures I had on preorder were 'processing' (which means they'll be in my POL any second now).

Motto: "The more you know, the less you don't know.

Find me and my photos on Instagram @doctor_decepticon"
I picked these up the other day at Walmart here in Canada. I gotta say, I a much more pleased with it in person. The colours are brighter with this Optimus which may give it it a more "childlike" appearance than his previous incarnation. However he is pretty cool in hand. He has lots of playability, very poseable and good features. True, it's busy looking with all the spiky parts but it seems to work. I was not the biggest fan when I saw this thing at first, but I'd give it a solid B- now.

Predaking, well..I should have waited for the Ultimate class. He's fine, but the bigger one certainly looks better.

I have no insight but I wanted to add to the story. I received an email today alerting me that my FOC Voyager Grimlock was instock. Finally able to do so, I shipped my POL. However, I noticed that when you search for him on the site he still shows up as a preorder. Kinda weird.

Anyway, back on topic...I've been searching for these guys with no luck. I have been happy with the distribution of the Beast Hunters deluxe figures though. Hopefully the voyagers and deluxe wave 2 follows suit because I'm dying to get Smokescreen. Maybe these guys will start showing up soon too!

Saw the 2 voyagers at Meijer today. Prime looked ok I guess... I think I might be done with the line. I'd rather spend the money on masterpiece and 3rd party figures than this crap.

Managed to pick up Optimus today. For those concerned about show accuracy, well...Optimus Prime doesn't quite look like his computer-generated boxart. Only about 80% of the whole torso area in his robot mode matches up to the CGI. The most notable difference for me is Prime's protruding spikes from his abdomen, which does not appear to be present in the boxart. The "wings" don't seem to be there as well, which leads me to two conclusions:

1) The spiky "Beast Hunters" armors will only be donned in the show when serious butt-kicking is occurring.

2) All of these spikes are toy-only gimmicks.

This is, of course, purely speculation. Even so... :BANG_HEAD:

EDIT: Wings are there...plus an awesome shield.
