When I see people having problems taking photos, it's rarely because of the camera (unless it's a $40 P.O.S.). It's usually because people don't take the time to learn how to use their camera. All of those buttons, menus and various configurations are there for a reason. People just have to take the time to learn how to properly use their camera(s).

Thanks for your comments Seibertron. I've been wanting a camera especially after seeing such cool pics posted in the "Awesome TF Poses". What would you recommend in your experience for a novice as far as camera and other accessories? Second why have Prime figures only been at TRU and no where else? Lastley I think we could add the Sharkticon's to those army sets too. But Vehicon showed greatness and it will be awesome when he's finally available in stores! I'm not impressed by Redbull-Cliffjumper one bit.

Ryan's pics show it at it's limit. Mine won't open anymore than that, either. They sit on a hinge, not a slider. I thought it was and almost broke him.

All that i am going to say is this .I WANT ,NEED TO FIND

Cliffjumper looks great. I am fighting the urge to collect this line.

Kind of a bummer if it is. Wonder if it's a widespread problem or just an isolated incident?

Mine has the black on both shoulders (Takara, ordered from BBTS). Looks like they missed a paint app at the factory on yours .

I have the US/CA version and it has the app on both. Looks like a slip up to me.

Question for anyone who owns the Vehicon:

Do the instructions say to drop the shoulder wheels down like that?

In the show they're up in the shoulders.
Also, note the spoiler on the back of this figure is highly reminiscent of the wings on the flying Vehicons/Eradicons. So you could make your figure look like a flyer from the waist up by putting the shoulder wheels down, like here, and have the spoiler higher up (if it will go higher). And for the ground based troops, leave the tires in the shoulders and try to get the spoiler out of view.

I've been studying the poop out of these guys recently. So I reeeeally need to find the figure sometime.... (but the Seibertron galleries are a good fit until then! )

(Any widespread sightings in the US yet?)
