I just hope I have the opportunity to at least SEE these figures in my BB store. Especially Voyager Megatron. Him I might get, but I really want to see him first, so f***-off evilbay scalpers. :-x

went to 3 bestbuys todays, all 3 had 20 figures 10 and 10.

non of them could sell them yet, they said the release date they had was oct 14th.

i deff see this as a 1 time buy and not something they will be restocking.

The Best Buy I went to today in Schaumburg had no clue what I was talking about. They kept saying the only figures they will get are the robot hero repaints. I'm going to hit those stores in my area hard on Tuesday to get mine.

Great idea, I too would like to see both Megatron and Ratchet OUT of their packaging.

Well when I found these, there was no limit, so I bought two Ratchets... and one Megatron. I fully intend on opening one of the Ratchets but I really have no desire to see Voyager Megs' alt-mode, so he will forever stay MISB frozen in ice... just like he was in the movie under Hoover Dam. :grin:

I dunno though if I'm opening Ratchet anytime soon, but if I do, you'll be first to know.

Same thing in the Cleveland area, there are at least 5 stores in the suburban area (and I may be forgetting one).

Ohio definitely has at least 25 BBs, between Cleveland, Akron-Canton, Columbus, Toledo, and Cincy.

Anyone know if these will be available on bestbuy.com?

Well that does me no good since Megatron is the one I am most curious about. I already have a green Ratchet, and like him the way he is.

I guess I will never see the Megatron one since Best Buy has been a totall mad-house the last two days, and these things sell out fast.

I looked all over the store and didn't see any. Where would they put them?

i guess in the toy department if it was before the release. if they are put out tuesday, they are probably near the same stand as the DVDs

Damn damn. Just came back from Best Buy and I saw nothing that even resembled a Transformers display.

I'll be there first thing tomorrow morning.

Same here.

At our Best Buy, they were stocked on an aisle nowhere near the DVDs... they were alone next to DVD games like Scene It and random other stuff like Disney mp3 players... it was an aisle past the music CDS near the random knick knacks like books, guitars, and other odd Best Buy stock items...

Of course this could all change tomorrow morning if your Best Buy sets them out in a big central TF display alongside TF DVDs, Games, and whatnots...

I passed by the DVD games section with Scene it, etc. at my local BB this morning. It was full of stuff with no empty space that seems to save for the figures. I also checked other aisles see if they have empty shelves with price taggs says transforners on them. couldn't find any. I guess they put the figures randomly. They could be placed the DVD movies or games sections tomorrow. I'm wondering how many people know about this best buy exclusive. My girlfriend was asking me what toys you could find at BB?

I've checked the 3 Best Buy stores near me and none has put the figures out early. I imagine there will be a little crowd out there tomorrow morning.

What toy department?? I've never seen one in Best Buy before.

I'm guessing the figures will be right in the middle of the store with the DVD's tomorrow.

It's random for best buy. It'll probably be at the end of the aisle. If the BB has a toy section it'll be really tiny and have electronic dinosaurs, board games, and pirates of the carribeean dolls. Im guessing they will have a standalone display or it will be at the end of one of the movie aisles.
