That's where I got mine, but I'd expect him to show up at Wal-Mart when they do their seasonal rotation. And so far he's the best of them all, IMHO.

Ok, cool thanks. I might try to get to Target in the morning then. I really dig Skids more than any of the others so far. I really enjoy his deco. Getting ready to fiddle with Mudflap who just arrived today.

Ugh. I don't normally say this, but I just can NOT get past the heads on those two, at pretty much ANY scale. I made the mistake of getting Deluxe Skids, and decided I WON'T make that mistake at the HA scale, or get ANY version of Mudflap.

Fair enough, although Mudflap is the more odd looking of the two. I dunno why, they just clicked with me for some reason. Although I certainly prefer Skids over him. Eh, they aren't everybody's thing. I think I fit a small percentile of the fandom that does like them.

To avoid the derail in progress, Jazz looks great, Lennox is going in a box and that bike will most likely always be a gun in my collection. Although it is a snazzy looking motorcycle.

I think that a valid question might be how many other times has there been a 'questionable' ad in the background of a movie line figure, or of toys in general. I don't mean in the 50s/60s whenever, when smoking was more common and less frowned upon despite being ones' personal decision. And not to stoke a debate over smoking and all that, but I was a smoker for ten years and have relatively recently quit and I must say, I didn't have as hard a time as I thought I would have. Yay me!
Toy-related, I think this is a neat discovery to be honest. And I can't imagine that Hasbro would have let it slip, like, I don't think it was an accident. I guess for pointless clarity, I do not think that Hasbro is advocating smoking and or gambling to children, but I'd find it hard to imagine that this slipped by without anyone noticing it at the factory or design panel.

So HA Mudflap actually exists? I was starting to wonder.

I've never seen one at retail either. Which means it never happened cuz I find damn near everything. I was unaware HTS had them. I got mine shipped and everything from a pal in Canada for less than retail would have cost me here. He happened to be on sale.

There's a few in my area sometimes. I was actually thinking on trading one for a Jazz. Just saw a review for him and I fell in love

Found 1 HA Jazz today at my local Target... I was so excited until I realized the packaging was smashed on the bottom and back side.... it had the clear headlights too! Oh well, there will be another along shortly, I hope!

Nope! You'll never see it in the store again! At least, not with the "cigarettes and lottery" packaging...

Thanks Capt. Buzzkill.

Never seen this guy in the wild yet, but the more I see HA Jazz on here the more i want him. Crappy pricepoint for these though. They shouldn't cost much more than voyager class

Ha! I went back today and the same HA Jazz was still there but so were 2 more... another had pretty bad damage also, but the 3rd had a minor dent in the bottom corner that I can live with for now. So I got it

saw him at Target and bit the bullet and bought him. $33 with tax. Bad idea goin on runs --you'll always end up buyin somethin u can't afford.
Packaging had cig & lotto billboards. I tried findin the thread that's more in depth about the toy -but no luck. Any problems ppl are having with him so far??

The only problem I had with him was actually something that bodes well for his durability overall - and bodes BAD for the soft rubber windshield washer things on his colarbones. And that was every joint was REMARKABLY tight. I fear for those little soft rubber things.

well he's not as hard as MP Megatron to transform is he???
