It made me sad...

I think the definition of shelfwarmer is something that has been sitting for more than a week???


Seriously?? You were at the TRU at Southcenter huh? I found one of the last two I believe you were referring to. I snagged that sucker so quick!! An eighty something year old lady grabbed the other one. Pretty damn slick on her part I must say.

I hate to say it but Classics Jetfire is relatively rare.

I made that mistake once, early on. I passed up on two Classics Megatrons at a comic shop priced at only $24.99 each..

Sorry, I was thinking of something else...
And yes, the Southcenter one.

unless you already have him, you passed on a great figure...

I'm indifferent about the Cybertron line. They're too aesthetically challenging.

I only want Galvatron from the Cybertron line. That thing looks awesome. Or Soundwave.

YES. I've been tempted by Soundwave, too. But once I get one, I'm going to want more... and well... we know what happens to bank accounts.

Aesthetically challenging? Could you elaborate a bit please?

They ugly.

I've seen tons of Dlxs, including the 2nd wave minus Arcee, at many of the Walmarts and Targets I've been to recently here in the NW Chicago burbs. There's even been a single movie Thundercracker repaint at a few places too. Others include the TECH stuff, helmets, blasters, Turnarounds, and Ultimate BBs. Also seeing a lot of Leader Brawl and Megatron, but I can't tell if they've sat for all thsi time or if they're beign replenished.

*reads last comment. looks at avatar. lols at the irony*

The most surprising shelfwarmers I've seen at my local wal-mart are Alternators Skids and Riccochet. Then it's the same crap, helmets, blasters, Battle Action blah blah

You know, I like the Armada characters that appeared in the PS2 game. That was fun. The rest of the line I could care less about.

Hands down its Bonecrusher. Feel sorry for him but he is destined to be repackaged into the Universe line and sold for half his price very soon.

Cut your losses now HASBRO and take him out of any plans for future case assortments as he will come back to plague you like a bad knee. Horrible mould.

I can believe it. Those are worse figures than the drones.

Actually, only the first page is cassettes. the others are just G1 homages.
