saw that table. he had two of them but i wasnt about to pay that much either. if i can't get those first edition versions for a reasonable price then my collection will simply be incomplete.

WOW! He actually sold one. He had 3 when I was there. I believe that was toinc.com. He has them for $89 online. Still mot worth it to me..

There's a Knockout and Hot Shot left at Saline Walmart. I got the only Vehicon.

I was in MD last week and their Walmart had 4 Hot Shots and a gazillion Bumblebees. Looks like Hot Shot is the latest shelf warmer.

Well, there is still a Hot Shot. Thanks for posting your find Doc Bot! I grabbed the Knock Out. I can't believe I missed the vehicon. That walmart(which I'm at at least 3 times a week) has had nothing but BBs and CJs on the shelf for the last 2 months. And they have 8 Voyager Primes. I'm never going to see a Bulkhead....

When I was in MD last week, I did get a powerizer Bulkhead from Toysrus. They had at least 6 of them along with a ton of Starscreams. That gives me hope that we'll be seeing good numbers of them when they hit our state. The major problem with toysrus is that they're $27 a piece which is why I didn't get both.

It irritates me to no end that the difference between the ridiculously awesome FE Bulkhead and the ho-hum powerizer one is that stupid light up spinny weapon. All that money was sapped away from the toy itself. The engineering of the FE Bulkhead's belly transformation still makes my jaw drop. The same with FE Prime. He's show accurate in both modes and has a fully scultped interior with dashboard and seats.

Isn't it odd that Knockout's skill level is only 5? You'd think Megatron's personal physician would be a bit more skilled.

voyager starscream and bulkhead along with a legion evac and mirage at the 12 and gratiot walmart.

Might explain why Megatron was offline so long.

My wife picked up voyager Bulkhead for me. Other than being flat chested, lol, I think this guy turned out great. Initially, I wasn't going to pick up Bulkhead but now that I have him, I regret not getting the FE also.I'm pretty sure I'm going to feel the same way about Starscream when I get him too.Not a fan of any of the mechtech-ish weapons for any of these figures though.

Concur'd...MechTech both sucks and blows.

Picked up the only Bulkhead and Vehicon at the Dearborn WM(Ford Rd.) for RC13, and a Hot Shot for myself. Left 2 Knockouts, 1 each Hot Shot, Ratchet, Arcee on the pegs. Didn't see Starscream.

Thank You, Thank You!!!!

I hate when I stay absent from this thread for so long. Sometimes I don't have time to look at replies and then it logs me out of it.

I was able to snag Voy Starscream, Voy Bulkead, and Cyberverse Evac, black Soundwave, and movie Mirage from Meijer in Westland last Saturday.

Welcome back! I think you're the only one to find the new voyagers in the Canton/Westland/Ann Arbor area.

Purely lucky. And twitter makes me feel like I talk to more people than I do about stuff. Sorry folks. The con looked fun though!

I think it's cool how many people I talk with every day on twitter but have never met.

If any of you out there are on twitter, start following some of us. We have good TF discussions! I'm @RodimusConvoy13

scroed my commander dreadwing and ironhide at the Southfield TRU yesterday. nothing new left. saw evac, mirage, soundwave and breakdown at the miejer just down the strip though.

Picked up the only remaining voyager Starscream at 12/ Gratiot Walmart yesterday. I love this figure. Very articulated. Still hate the mechtech weapon.

holy crap commander ironhide! sorry, i just opened him last night and im so in love with the commander class prime toys. they're seriously the best versions of everyone. quick and easy transformations but close enough to the actual character models and weapons to still be visually impressive.

Aside from Optimus, I would have to agree.

So this isn't TF related, or even a sighting really, but I feel left out of the fun. I got my first DC Universe subscription figure in the mail today. It only took 6 months for them to get these rolling. Heh. Anyway, Flash looks really good and I'm excited for Atrocitous in a few weeks.

Really? That Ironhide is really janky. The clips that the front wheels are on are constantly popping off, the arms can't position in any kind of real pose due to the arm struts slanting down, the head sculpt doesn't really do it for me...

Cool transformation. Good vehicle mode. Other than that, a so so figure with QC issues.

And Commander Class Prime is far and away the best one. Obviously I'm way in the minority on that one, but the engineering and sculpt rule. Fact.

They are pretty amazing for their scale. Bulkhead especially looks much better than the retail voyager (not FE).

I have to agree that the Commander figures are the new scout size, and are pretty dang sensational. Do not own commander Prime, but the fact that it is the best, may be more of an opinion...

I grabbed Dreadwing and Ironhide and really was impressed with both. The transformations are fun, they have weapons, and the robot modes are good, although the ball joints are just like the G2 jets... really pop-off crazy, but thankfully they are easily fixed.

Just picked up the 2 new Transformers Comanders from the local Meijers store in Davison. The only ones they had. Dreadwing and Ironhide are both fantastic! I can't wait for the larger versions to come out. I hope Ironhide gets a Voyager figure.

Ironhide will be a deluxe. Its in BBTS preorders now. I hope its bigger than Ratchet. Still, its a must have.

Yep I know he's going to be a deluxe but I'm just hoping he's going to get a Voyager down the road. I loves me some Ironhide!
