I was wondering if I should expect to see Classics restocked in my local stores or should I just go to eBay for the Deluxe Bumblebee and Voyager Megatron?

Also is the Optimus Prime vs. MEgatron two pack any good? I recalled those two figures being smaller then a regular
Deluxe or is my mind playing tricks on me?

I haven't seen Bumblebee or Megs on the shelf but I have seen some of the other Classics on the shelf.

General consensus of the Prime and Megs two pack is that Prime has a good robot mode but a pretty crappy alt mode but Megs is supposed to be pretty cool.

I would be very surprised to see them re-stocked, so you would be better of getting it online. You could try a few alternative stores, like Suncoast, or some stores that have odler stock, but they are not making them anymore, so you are kinda SOL this late in the Classics game.

Some stores are setting out old stock, so you may get lucky.

Good luck!

I'm not seeing any of the original cases anywhere. All the cases I've seen out and read about are the Op/Megs two pack, the case with Mirage, CJ, Ramjet, Grim, HR, and Voyager Optimus and V. Jetfire. Unfortunately, you're probably not going to find BB in stores. HOWEVER, check out this link-I saw BB there yesterday at a reasonable price:

And IMO, I really like the Optimus in the 2 pack but that Megatron, his arm with no hand ruins it for me. Seems like a lazy sculpt/design.

Thanks guys. I'm not sure about buying stuff on line, but I may yet get that two pack, a Zellers near where I live had about 4 or 5 of them this past weekend. I'm mostly after a Megatron since I've never had one in all the time I've been collecting TFs since the early 90's.

buying online can be both a blessing and a curse.

the good-get the figures you want without having to waste time/gas driving/calling around to see if it is available.

the bad-If you buy loose off ebay there is always paranoia about condition(ok, that might just be me...but pictures can hide many things) Prices may be inflated, but keep in mind the savings in "the good"

ultimately...just be smart about buying online and it can be well worth it.
