All the stores around me look like this all year round. Minus Sentinel & Galvatron.

I'm done with retail stores. I check Walmart when I'm there for groceries or cat food but that's it. Waste of time & gas.

This picture sums up pretty much all of the stores around my area. Still drowning in RiD shelfwarmers (of which I have no interest in) and CW Deluxes. I did manage to find a TR Crashbash a few days ago at Wal-Mart, so I'm hopeful.

Disappointing. Anything here you think is worth picking up? Any rare/less common ones?
That Optimus Maximus was on sale for €25,- but it looks horrible. A hollow giant...

Well, the cw figs are great, if you're interested in them, otherwise, the legends figures are usually treasures, that bombshell is a great little figure ;)^

Powerglide makes a cool gun for combiners and bigger figures, and is not included in the UW boxsets...

dunno about anything else unless you tell us specifically what there is, the easy-change figures are worthless, and the leader movie prime is kind of a letdown compared to the 'better' ones released by TT

Yes, the aerialbots for sure. But you probably already have that covered.

That Optimus Maximus is only worth a 10th of what they are asking (no joke, thats how much I paid for mine and any more would have been a dissapointment).

Also, that small Legion Generations Bee and Starscream were quite sought after since they got limited release. If they are less than €5, I say go for it.

Is that the same case with ultra magnus, cliffjumper and skywarp? I never ever saw these in canada, so sorry if I was wrong about them elsewhere.

I did not see those 3 at all, but Bee and Starscream have been littering the shelf. I didn't think they were so sought after either

I didnt get a good look at him. But Lazerbeak looks more red than he does in the stock pics.

That's good. I forgot that ravage was packaged in plane mode so that wouldn't help much #-o

Yeah, I didnt care for the others. I dont think I will get the ravage mold unless it ends up being 5$ one day and I already have buzzsaw and am not too impressed by it (its fine but not worth getting more than one mold for me).

The funny thing is I dont have rewind yet, he hasnt shown up at any retailer in my area. But the deluxes finally showed up and I bought some, will post pics tonight.

I've looked at these "cassettes", but what do they really change into? Are they still supposed to be cassettes for Soundwave? If so, which one? Anyone got pictures? They don't look very good to me in robot/beast mode...

They change into small electronic devices like Ipods and phones.

They even have sockets so you can plug headphones in.

Here is buzzsaw, you can see the little icons for messages and the like at the bottom and how much power is left in the battery at the top:

As for how they fit inside, go to the 40 second mark on this video to have a demonstration:

TRU's stock has gotten lower than I've seen it in a while. Asked a store employee if there was another section nearby with more figures, and he told me they're in the process of getting out the new TR line. Just gonna have to wait a bit longer. :roll:

EDIT: After poking around even more, I managed to find a lone Sentinel behind the Megazords. Of course, Sentinel's the only one I'm NOT looking for.
