Shrapnel/Reflector and Tailgate & Groundbuster - at the Namur Toys R Us, also saw a Tailgate at the Wal-Mart right next.
My girlfriend found me a single Whirl at the Atwater Target. She saw nothing else new; I have to date not seen hide nor hair of the Rattrap deluxe wave at retail yet; hell, I haven't even seen Armada Starscream.

For once there's a TrU Exclusive TF set coming to Quebec, it have to be the poopy one.

And there is french on the box, meaning that like the other evolution packs, it will be coming to ALL of Canada (along with the US).
The expected shipping date is October 17.

good advice. especially since this version is almost henkei quality but in different ways, i can see him going up in value.-Kanrabat- wrote:Being you (having none of them), I wouldnt wait for a sale. The classic Optimus mold usually go for crasy prices on Ebay no matter the color. Also, that's 2 great voyagers for 25$ each instead of 30$. To make sure you don't get screwed by the scalpers, make sure you grab a set as soon as you see it. Especially at 50$. You could always get a second one to keep sealed if it ever go on clearance by any chances.william-james88 wrote:Since I own no mold, this pack is far more tempting for me than it is for you.

i just studied them side but side. and while everyones entitled to their own opinions, say one far out weighs the other i think is a bit of a stretch.william-james88 wrote:That classics Optimus is FAAAAAAR from Henkei quality.
Look at the comparitive images between the 2 alt modes. I know its obvious, but just to clarify: the one with all the missing pain aps is the one coming in the evolution 2 pack

they both have chrome, and have about the same amount of paint apps each. theyre just different is all. in my opinion theyre quite comparitive.
if it comes down your opinion being swayed by the chrome crotch and thighs (basis being scheme of G1 toy), thats just a matter of taste. but bang for buck, this one cant be beat.

That Classic OP coming in the 2pack is colored EXACTLY like the G1 original. So, for it's own good, and for only 25$, this is a steal.
to be perfectly honest, that unpainted window... i didnt realize it was a window until you said itwilliam-james88 wrote:Ok, I see now how it was made after the G1 scheme. I was more taken back by the unpainted window and lights in truck mode. But I still find the unpainted shield kind of drab
