when are these going up in the galleries? I'd love a better look at Thrust's head (I'm hoping it's a black Breakaway head with functioning red or purple light piping!)

Dear god, that BB is hideous! :shock:

Sideways looks pretty badass though, I wonder if this means he'll return for the movie?

Why the heck is the decent-looking Arcee packaged with the worst mold in the RotF line?

The Blazemaster/Evac/Tailwhip mold is the only deluxe-size mold I've absolutely regretted getting.

At least this is a better chance at getting a PCC or two and Generations Thrust.

Considering he's literally split in half and exploded afterwards, I find that a bit unlikely.

He could be the movieverse version of Waspinator

Cool these are all the exclusives that where announced for the Hong Kong convention, makes the classics 3 pack even more likely to hit retail, can't wait for that awesome Cyclonus.

Which is why instead, we'll get Tuner Sideways :lol:

HOLY DING DONGS WHAT TARGET IS THAT!!!!! THEY MUST RESTOCK MY TARGET LIKE THAT...

NOW

Fri Jul 23, 2010 2:08 pm

Do we know the DPCI # for the exclusive two packs yet?
Dang you Arcee for being close to the 3rd bike sister!
Why Blazemaster mold, Why?! #-o

Fri Jul 23, 2010 2:43 pm

ANOTHER rustier Ice Cream Truck Twins!? :BANG_HEAD:

Looks like someone crapped on them. :KYLE:

Save the Sideways for the set with the three Arcees. :-B

Speaking of Arcee, dlx bike + dlx helicopter = BADLY SCALED 2 PACK. #-o

Looks Like BumbleBee had WAY TOO MUCH caffene. :KREMZEEK:

That Thrust (moar like skywarp) looks GREAT though. :APPLAUSE:

Looks like I"ll be skipping most of those 2 packs. :lol:

All I wanted to see was that sideswipe/barricade set! :BOOM:

Fri Jul 23, 2010 3:32 pm

Looks like Bumblebee is trying out for the Village People. Could also be trying to start a new lineup in Hasbro...

Trannyformers

I do want the China Cop Barricade and Copter though. Got a Chinese exchange student for the year coming.

Not until next week. I'm finishing up the FansProject galleries first.

I also updated the original post with some new images. I went back and bought the Sideswipe/Barricade set that I missed earlier today. I was surprised that it was still there after both TFW and Seibertron.com reported this.

All of our Targets have nothing in stock as well. This store is different because it's a brand spankin' new store that just opened up two days ago. Beautiful store!

I actually pictures of the Chicago shoot, showing the Nascarbots driving in formation with the Autobots.

Generations thrust and Drift also are not visible. They may just be behind all those WFC guys, but I doubt it.

WOW, that's awesome! All we see around here are crappy Jetblades.

There was 1 Drift and 1 Thrust there. I picked up the extra Drift for one of the staff members from Seibertron.com who lives in Japan.

LIES!!!!!!!!!!! all the target over here had was 32 mudflaps, 1 dirge and 2 of the stockade repaints. The tru across the street had a few powercore combiners and HFTD figures but that was it. And the HFTD ones were all the repaints except for legends ravage and Brimstone. Oh and walmart had 20 mudflaps and 2 mixmasters.

Sat Jul 24, 2010 3:11 am

hmm, another movie-line thrust figure....that appears to be purple black and silver....they didnt call it Skywarp WHY?

Sat Jul 24, 2010 4:33 am

Seeing stock like that was a sight for sore eyes. Dang, that was a ton of figures.

There are certainly a few that are looking really good, but those 2-pack exclusives are easy NOs for me. Bumblebee is just silly looking to me as is Barricade. Tailwhip is a good repaint, but I don't like the mold at all. I would like to pick up a WFC Prime sometime, but I have to admit that I really don't like WFC Bumblebee much at all. I screwed up and decided to buy the little guy and I was disappointed.

Though I have sworn off buying very many off-the-shelf figures these days, I went ahead and grabbed Leader Starscream. Anyone who has the money for it, needs to make the purchase. That sucker is really good.
