Itching for a little translucent plastic? TRU's exclusive Mission Earth: The Scan Series Deluxes Ironhide and Sideswipe have been spotted at retail. TFW2005 member raiden225005found the pair at a Toys "R" Us in San Antonio, Texas. These are reported to come packed in equal numbers per case leaving Ratchet and Bumblebee to come in a later wave. Happy hunting!

Well it only makes sense if they did that. After all it is an "Exclusive" xP.
I'm disappointed that Sideswipe appears to be the original mold, the one that has trouble standing up, instead of the improved mold with the feet. That might stop me from buying him.
But I DO plan to get the Ironhide and BB Scanning figs. I had been holding off from getting Deluxe Ironhide becuase I figured a cool repaint would come along sooner or later, and here it is! And the only other Deluxe BB I have is the 2007 Movie version, so this will be a nice addition to my collection.
Found these today . Bought on site. It appeared that someone had tried stashing thm too.I found them tucked behind some POTC and green latern stuff and then a few aisles over tucked behind some Bakugan stuff. I love that Ironhide actually has a shiny finish a`la Premium from 07 movie. Sideswipe just looks slick, the scan paint job blends alot better on him because of the silver paint.
Well, ToysRUs.com may be able to help you out. The first wave of Scan Series is now available and ready to ship within 2 business days and are on sale as part of the buy one get one 50% off sale.
Never was a fan of these "sub-toylines" for some reason. N.E.S.T was OK, this is alright, but the rest, meh. If they make a Bumblebee (which they most likely will) and a Decepticon of sorts thrown in there (Barricade, perhaps), then I might consider buying these.
cool just returned from a fruitless quest at the local TRU looking for Sideswipe. Now ordered along with the normal DOTM sideswipe and the HA Skids, (come on have to complete the sisters set!) Now to begin Walmart Sideswipe hunt...
I also may be interested in the Ratchet repaint. I was hoping for a new voyager ratchet to go with the new Voyager Ironhide, but I guess that isn't happening.
The 4-pack looks quite good (especially since I don't have either the Cybertron Starscream mold or the G1 Bee). I find it really funny how much better looking the 2 non-movie repaints are than the movie ones.
