Right now, seeing as I just blew a lot on eBay last night...I just want Voyager Starscream.

All the others can wait.

The count down has begun:

7 hours 44 min til Target opens

10 hours 44 min til TRU opens.

I feel like I'm gonna explode now.

LMAO this is great. My non-TF loving friends are now coming to me asking so what is this allspark thing? Had my gf looking for stuff on the 1st seeing if anything was out yet but all she saw was blank pegs... I pity them on the 2nd

Had to share...I'm the proud owner of LEader OP, Voyager Blackout and Ratchet, Deluxe Jazz and Optimash Prime (the OP Mr. Potato Head). I'm most pleased, even if the Jazz figure IS a disappointment

To clarify, Canadian prices are: Leader OP, $69, Voyager class $29, and Deluxe $14. Optimash Prime was $9.99.

So i stroll over to the TF section at about 12:02 am at my mesa walmart to find that all of the new movie tf's are out, and so were 4 other people. :O

I know that it may be a first minute frenzy that i encountered, but is there a possibility that we've underestimated how popular the toys are going to be?

Is wreckage shortpacked? I only saw 1 at my walmart, which is mine now.

I picked up the whole case of voyagers ($20 price point, i get confused with the names), wreckage, and the walmart exclusive for like $120ish of damage. I have my sights set on robovision, the helmet looked pretty neat, and i saw the super soaker there too. I was thinking about going to the movie with the super soaker in one hand, one of the dart gun thingies in the other, and the helmet. :>

I confused the statue of bumble bee with the ultimate version of bumble bee at first, i was expecting it to be there too. no megatrons as expected.

Hm ... I think the nice thing that we've got with Transformers versus the other movie toy lines such as Pirates or Spiderman, is the diversity of the line. With Spiderman, you've got 50 different Spidermans but we've only got 3 or 4 Optimus Primes in the movie line so far.

I'll let you guys know what I find at the stores here after I get back.

By Walmart exclusive, are you referring to the Robot Heroes 5 pack that was announced yesterday?

Surprisingly, the TRU near my home had the big display up...but none of the deluxe figures, aside from the Protoform Primes and Starscreams. They had all of the voyagers in (helped myself to Blackout, who's glorious), and then I burned down to Meijer's to check for Barricade, who's the one I REALLY wanted. Got him there, but their selection was limited only to an endcap. Haven't checked the Walmarts in town yet, though.

It's 11:36 here and I still haven't got out to the stores. The damn washing machine just had to break last night. So now I get to sit here for another 3 hours while my parents get another one and then I get to help put it in. So maybe by tomorrow morning I'll get to go out. You know. When all the shelves are picked through and I can't find what I'm looking for.

by **Khemical Prime** » Sat Jun 02, 2007 10:40 am

Just got back from TRU...no big rush at open. All I wanted was Bonecrusher and got him and it's a good thing I didn't wait. I had also bought Blackout but decided to return it and wait till the Blackout/Scorponok two pack comes out and when I went back to look at the display NO Bonecrushers left!

Looking at the figures close up I noticed a few things. Ironhide is barely a voyager he's so small. Pass until a price cut. Starscream does nothing for me. Ratchet meh, again wait for price cut. Like I said I'm gonna wait for the two-pack to get Blackout w/Scorp. Leader class Prime I can live without...unless price cut. And from the pics on the web I never had any intention of buying that P.O.S. they call 70's Bumblebee. Barricade looks great in alt mode but that bot mode is horrendous. Brawl I hear has problems with his shoulders. Jazz is just colored blah.

I'm just not that interested in the designs for most of these guys. I'll be all over the Blackout two pack, and voyager class Optimus Prime. And the new pic that came out of Long Arm looks SWEET. Other than that this line will probably get a big pass from me. I'm already looking to trade or sell most of the Cybertron figures I bought and Classic Bumblebee, Cliffjumper, and Astrotrain. Not just because I don't really like a lot of those figures, but I am also starting my Marvel Legends Icons line as well as working on G.I. Joe.

by **WIIM** » Sat Jun 02, 2007 10:56 am

Just got back from TRU, this time they had everything! They had Voyager Blackout, as well as the Blackout/Scorponok 2-pack. I wasn't sure what to do... Already ordered Blackout from Amazon... Voyager Blackout is in helicopter mode, while the 2-pack has them both in robot mode... 2-pack was $5 more... They had a bunch, so I guess I could go back...

News Credits: 1 · by **Blackstreak** » Sat Jun 02, 2007 11:49 am

Wow! Would you look at all that stuff! I plan on picking up only the figures that appear in the movie.

by **Ericus Prime** » Sat Jun 02, 2007 11:59 am

Well, good news is that I have Jazz, Barricade, Bumbleebee, and Bonecrusher. Bad news is I have no room.

Just got back home from Target and TRU. I'm going to finish up the pics of the Megatron gallery before I head out so that I can work on finishing up the Megatron gallery on my way to one of the Walmarts around Chicago.

Spent somewhere around $250. I went to Target first, bought the 4 exclusives as well as Ultra Magnus/Megatron and Bumblebee/Soundwave Robot Heroes because I didn't know those were supposed to be out yet so I wanted to make sure I got them. Decided I would buy most of the products at Toys R Us to show them my support which is where I bought the rest of the stuff. Let me tell you how hard it was to leave stuff behind at Target hoping that it would indeed be in stock at TRU. So here's what I've got so far:

Fast Action Battlers: Jazz, Optimus Prime, Ratchet, Barricade, Brawl, Starscream (I love the FAB version of SS for some reason)

Plush Dolls: Plushimus Prime and Slumblebee

Robot Heroes: Starscream, Mirage, Optimus Prime, Ravage, Ultra Magnus, Megatron, Bumblebee, Soundwave, Rodimus, "Insecticon" (*ahem* ... Shrapnel), Grimlock and Shockwave

Legends: Bumblebee, Optimus Prime, Ratchet, Megatron and Brawl

Real Gear: the Laserbeak guy

Target Exclusives: Robovision Voyager Optimus Prime, Hardtop, Arcee and Signal Flare

Regular line: Voyager Blackout and also the TRU exclusive Blackout and Scorponok 2-pack

I'm off to finish Megatron's gallery and then I'm off to Walmart.

I hope you guys are all having as much fun as I am today!

I just picked up Optimus, Ironhide, and Blackout. I plan on getting one or two more every week or so, depending on size.

Weird thing, though. My TRU didn't have any of the Deluxe Classes. They had all the Voyagers and Optimus, but no Deluxes :-?

EDIT: Just went to Target and picked up Deluxe BB, Brawl, and Bonecrusher. They had Swindle too, but I didn't have enough money with me at the moment.

by **shockblaster5** » Sat Jun 02, 2007 12:15 pm

I can't take the pressure anymore! Everyone of those figures is mine! BWHAHAHAHA! XD.

by **cheetorX** » Sat Jun 02, 2007 12:37 pm

This kills me that I have to wait till next weekend, but I'm hitting the shops with about $800+ when I do, so man, just hurry up next weekend!

This is killing me! How come every sale or release happens either during rent, or the week I DON'T get Paid!?!

That's what credit cards are for my friend. I just got my nice clear Blue American Express with no interest and I'm hankering to try it out. :grin:

where is the bumblebee in the new camaro version has anyone found him?

by **TimPilot** » Sat Jun 02, 2007 2:12 pm

Finally they have arrived in Norway too. Picked up Barricade and Ratchet.
We've also got Jazz, Brawl, Scorponok, Blackout, Cyberstompin' Bumblebee and Optimus Prime, Voice changing Optimus Prime Helmet. And all the LOC.
Wish I were rich, so I could buy them all at once.
