Definitely. I like playing around with Superion M's configurations.

I've seen a couple of reviews for Classics Devastator and it looks pretty cool. I think the energon weapon/appendages look good with that figure because of its mish mash Frankenstein look.

Heh Frankenstein look B-)

I love how Hasbro is making references on their new TFs recently, especially the Stalker Scorponok one.

I love those little touches. Ol' Lefty on the G1 repaint of Mixmaster, Monzo referenced on Universe Onslaught, and other things show that the designers are giving a wink and nod to the fans. I think it's pretty cool.

Indeed they are, I believe I read in another thread that some have reference to other Hasbro lines and such. Back on topic, for those that never seen these on the shelves, you should ask a Target employee to look in the back. My friend told me that apparently due to scalpers or w/e, some Targets will not put these exclusives out on the shelves. :???:

I'll probably(hopefully) see Bruticus M at the local Zellers. The RotF Superion set was carried there so I'm thinking the same will apply for Bruticus. Fortunately, not too many, if any, scalpers reside in my city so by the time it arrives, I'll be able to get one, budget willing.

That's not too bad, there's ROTF Superion and ROTF Bruticus Maximus selling for $50 on eBay. :evil:

$50 each, which is crazy, considering you can still get both easily from Targets in the states. :-x

It could be people from outside of North America who have even higher pricing for Transformers in their local stores. Apparently the prices for Transformers are quite high in Sweden.
