Even though everything is in stock, all of my orders are still due to be filled at the end of the month or the middle of next month. :-/

Great, just got home from work and its already sold out. You would think with Hasbro's lack luster distribution lately they would at least be able to supply their own site with a decent supply. Here is hoping Amazon or someone gets it in stock for a decent price soon.

Damn.. I was at Wizard Con today and missed this.. Crap.

I'm still waiting for Amazon to sell Rhinox.

I found all four of the deluxes at Target this evening, and I still have to wait a month for them to ship from HTS.

Buy it and cancel your order at HTS.

I feel your pain, as I had the same experience the other night. I was tempted to pick them up anyway and cancel my HTS order, but the ones at Target were marked back up to $14.99. HTS gave me a 15% discount with the TFLEGENDS15 coupon code. Take heart, though. These deluxes might ship earlier if HTS gets their stock earlier than expected. It's happened with more than one of my orders with them.

That discount is exactly why I left them there, though my wife was in favor of buying them and cancelling the order, just so we wouldn't have to worry about the delivery date conflicting with our travel plans.

The good news is that Whirl shipped today!

You're gonna hate me, but...I gave in to temptation. Checked Target on my way home from work today, hoping to find Rhinox, but I found all four deluxes instead. I'm going to cancel the rest of my order once Whirl and Doubledealer arrive.

I must say, I love Armada Starscream. He's simple, yet elegant. The plastic feels nice and solid too.
Scoop is okay. His alt-mode fits together better than some people would have you believe. The Targetmaster partners are just kinda there, and they are neigh impossible to peg onto Scoop in vehicle mode. Either the pegs for the guns are too wide, or the holes in the vehicle are too narrow.
Skywarp is solid, as were the previous uses of the WfC/FoC Seeker mold.
The Mini-Con Assault Team is a disappointment. There are subtle nuances in the combination of the figures that the instructions, of course, fail to illustrate. Worse, it's rife with parts popping off if you look at them the wrong way, thanks to loose ball joints and shallow friction joints.

P.S.

Is Armada Starscream's head supposed to be sculpted with his chin slightly off center? It seems point a little to (his) right. I'm not sure if it was meant to look that way, like his face is naturally slightly contorted from the grim smirk he's wearing, or if my sample is just defective.
