good find for the pics, but i don't see why anyone wouldn't just wait a month or so when these come out in wave (insert number here)

Are you talking about paying inflated prices to get them early? I couldn't agree more. Have you seen what people are paying for '08/9 Bumblebees??? $162 I saw one going for!

confuscious say: "fool with money, soon to part" or something like that. you could use the money so much more wisely and get so many more figures if one could stand the thought of patience.
i mean, it's not like even the 74 bumblebee's around here are sold out. there's ton. these toys are going to clog the shelves till after christmas, anything and everything you want, because they are prepared and ready to take your money.
that's what they are supposed to do.

Barricade disguises himself as Hoover Dam Security?

Not realy feeling these repaints. The phone almost makes sense though since Frenzy did copy one, but thats not enough to make me buy it again.

Barricade is a rent a cop

I like them both. Ill keep Barricade in the box but ill open wire tap. Hes just to cool looking.

Why is it called RECON Barricade, whats with the new color, and why is Frenzy all blue?

Wire Tap is about the only real gear repaint that does not look as good as the original. Love his co-sells though!

Recon Barricade also looks good, but I think that has more to do with what a great alt mode he has.

Am I the only one that figures Barricade should get retooled into Prowl?

Yes, because Barricade is more awesome than Prowl ever was.... even if he's a Rent-A-Cop now.

Wire Tap looks better than the original, I'd buy it - infact I'd buy most of the Real Gear range... If I could find'em in stores.

Recon Barricade looks rubbish - hate that mold.
