Target Glenbrook had nothing new.

did you get an Optimus? I love the figure...even though hes a tiny guy.

by **barricade2218** » Sun Feb 27, 2011 2:44 pm

I had him in my hands and put him back. He isn't on my 'gotta have" list. I do have the Scourge voyager version of him that TRU had as an exclusive some years back. Like the mold, but I'm waiting on Wreck-gar, Perceptor, Rumble & Frenzy, and any of the movie figures I'm able to get my hands on before May...

Lugnut rocks..! But I'm partial, I liked the Animated version of him and this RTS is awesome.

Yeah, Lugnut is very cool! I picked up G2 Optimus, he's ok. I really like the sword, but just something about his proportions bugs me. I got notified that my Generations wave 3 was sent from BBTS. Can't wait for Kup.

I've only bought one Star Wars TF and it fell apart right out of the box so I vowed to never buy another...but then I found Yoda. Very cool figure, I highly recommend.

Found a Scourge today at JP WM! a friend has seen him and Kup a few places including WM on lima. I currently have the whole RTS legends, Lugnut and Grapple from BBTS, as well as the Kup, Wheeljack, Thundercracker, Scourge wave coming from BBTS.

pretty much just looking out for a couple Wreck-gars, you gotta get 2! one for him to ride like in the movie :lol:

BTW, out of all the legends the one i was most excited for was the biggest disappointment. Trailbreaker is so hollow from behind and is a little floppy. :-(

hopefully he will get his due justice in a badass deluxe figure next year! :PRAY:

Yeah I'm not sure how I feel about RTS (G2)Prime either. I think I would like the figure better as a Ultra Magnus or Nemesis Prime repaint. If I see him around again I may pick him up just to try a repaint on.

the RTS Prime mold remolded/repainted into Nemesis Prime/Scourge would be an awesome substitute for those who dont have the classics version

Yeah the Nemesis/Scourge repaint is the way I was thinking of going if I did it. Black is just easier to do than white. Plus I'm still really hoping for an official hasbro/takara Ultra magnus that isn't just an Optimus remold. Something along the lines of a voyager or leader class sized hasbro version of Fansproject City Commander.

If you're looking for extra Kup figs I was at the Maysville Rd WalMart night before last and they had several hanging on the pegs.

I got my Kup, Scourge, Thundercracker and Wheeljack wave from BBTS the other day. I cant put Kup down! Hes such a great figure! He's really solid and has a fun transformation, I cant wait for my Igear Cy-gar head :KREMZEEK:

Anyone seen Wreck-gars in the wild?

by **barricade2218** » Sun Mar 06, 2011 11:30 am

I wish....Been out and about looking, haven't seen **** anywhere. I'm anxious for Wheeljack, Peceptor and TC too..!

News Credits: 3 · by **Fistful of Energon** » Sun Mar 06, 2011 1:28 pm

I pre ordered a Perceptor and 2 more Scourges along w/ Grimstone from HTS.

I gotta admit though, as awesome as it was to get that entire wave all at once from BBTS, It almost felt empty. It just didnt come with the same excitement that finding them in the wild gives me. but im hardly complaining :lol:

by **barricade2218** » Sun Mar 06, 2011 1:49 pm

Grimstone was a disappointment, sad to say.

Uh-Oh! where did you get yours?

by **barricade2218** » Sun Mar 06, 2011 2:22 pm

BBTS, his one arm is so heavy a "super glue" fix is going to be required to hold it up. He tends to fall apart easily too.

News Credits: 3 · by **Fistful of Energon** » Sun Mar 06, 2011 5:15 pm

he looks as though he displays well and I just CANT pass up a dinobot combiner!

by **barricade2218** » Mon Mar 07, 2011 5:43 pm

Found another Kup today at Target GB. He's staying in the package as an investment.

Finally saw some new stuff at Target west....Tracks and Fallback. That was all. How are they Just now getting that wave?!?

Anyone else check out Intergalactic toys? http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&bav=o ... CBwQnwIwAQ

Awesome place, the owner is a super nice guy

Spotted a Kup at TRU here in Terre Haute, but it was all taped up so I didn't get it.

I found the limited edition OP literally overflowing at walmart in Indy. I bought 2, one to take out one to keep in box. Actually a pretty decent figure
