Oy vey. I'll literally be dreaming of that Prime until his release here. And Ohio is always behind on the cool stuff.

i still dont understand why people gotta show their receipts for proof. i mean even if the person were lying, least the photo shows the toys are there right?
but also, how sad would someone have to be to post photos and lie about them being available? lol
anyway....i'm tempted to get prime because he's even more movie acurate but nah...i got all the 1st movie toys i wanted and i'm done. lol

Cool. At least Megatron is a totally different toy. We knew this already I know, but it's nice to see in person. With 8 billion of each produced I don't think I'll waste my money on any of them until they are on clearance. Except maybe Jetfire.

I want Prime but im going to wait since the Leaders always linger on the shelves. Starscream id pick up. Megatron will be a clearance pick up for me. Where were these found? It would help to know the state that way we can figure out when they might arrive in our areas.

Megatron, sadly, is a guaranteed shelfwarmer.
Jetfire would be too, if it weren't for the fact that he combines with Prime.
Optimus is pretty much the star of the show, so he's a guaranteed sell out.
You'll see Megatron on clearance, but Prime and Jetfire, if I were you, should be must buys right now.
You might not get the clearance sale you're holding out hope for. Like Counterpunch says "Pay now, or Pay later." He's right.
It's been my experience (and my area isn't the best gauge for this kind of thing, but it does give me an idea of how bad it can be in a lot of places...) that Leaders sell, no matter who the character is. Even Megatron finally sold out. The only two figures in that class that struggled with sales were the All Spark Powered Brawl repaint, and the Nightwatch Optimus. (But finally Optimus sold out.)
I would just hate to see anyone get left out.
As far as we know, the feet are still red. A silver Sharpie, however, will take care of that quickly.

I'm not falling for this again. 
No Movie purchases until the Premium line is revealed and/or there's so many decaying on shelves, they mark them down; only exception would be for store exclusives. I'm not picking up Prime unless he's repainted into Ultra Magnus or Nemesis Prime Colors. I already have the Takara Premium version and Nightwatch from the 1st movie, so that's more than enough.

Wait wait, aren't they breaking Hasbro rules by putting them out early? I mean the official release date is supposed to be the 30th of May, not the 31st of April

$12.88 for FABS! Horrible price for ugly figures.
