Wow, just found Cyclonus and Hound at Target and I have to say that Cyclonus is a must buy. He is flawless, in robot mode there is no holes or gaps giving away the vehicle mode. Hound is one of the best Classics as well, and Ravage while being cool, has less articulation than I thought...but Cyclonus is probably the best Classics/Universe to date.

I order Cyclonus,Hound Inferno and Cheetor from hasbro's online store so I will be getting them after christmas because where I live especial at target as of late good luck finding any transformers G.I. Joe on the other hand you can find most of latest figures with a few exception but I figure in a few weeks even those figures will become easy to find. But congrats on finding them and I'm glad the quality control is spot on I hope the same can be said of Cheetor and Inferno. That is why I order them from hasbro so I could use the 25% off deal. Plus my area seems to have more collectors than a lot of places so it has become harder and harder to find any of the new transformers figures. But the reason I think G.I. Joe is a little easier is because collectors have got most of last set of waves. With a few exceptions like zartan and wraith.

Check your Targets, DPCI is the same as usual, but my Target had loads of them sitting in the back, just make them keep bringing the crap out. They had Cheetor there too, but I've tried and tried to like Beast Wars and I pretty much gave up on it, so I didn't pick him up (though maybe I'll get him with the 25% off HTS).

So go raid your Targets!

The Target I go to was wiped out of all manner of deluxes, so was pretty much every store I went to today. Maybe when they restock they will put out some wave four, hoping so anyway.

I'll wait. The local Wal-Mart is good about stocking and restocking new Universe figures.

We got a shipment of the Powerglide repaint at the local store. Plus a slew of Ironhide restocks.

They'll have Hound and Cyclonus soon enough.

i wish mine had those, all we have right now are a few sunstreakers in back. However now that I have the power to look in back for myself I'll know when we have them in.

How are the paint apps? Someone picked them up for me in Cali and mentioned that the paint apps were horrible. I am waiting for him to send him pix of them before I commit to buy them.

Oh for crying out loud! I wish we would get stuff here in Harrisburg when everyone else gets it. I jsut mentioned in the sighings board that smaller towns around here seem to get stuff before we do. I don't get it.

I'll be waiting for the Henkei versions

Since I can only speak of Hound, because I haven't found Cyclonus yet, I am very impressed with his paint quality. My figure is flawless. The paint isn't sticky and no major flubs, smears, missed parts, etc. I am happy with both Hound & Ravage's paint so far.

Me too. It's likely to cost me a bit more than previous Henkei Deluxes have due to the change in the exchange rate but it'll be worth it to own a Hound & Cyclonus that look like some effort was put into painting them.

I cant wait to pick up this wave.

Love the G1 homage figures.

Yea, paint is perfect. I also don't see how they could really mess them up.

Wow, Cyclonus and Hound/Ravage are great! I also picked up the new Starscream figure and he looks A LOT better than the original Classics Version.

Managed to find Wave 4 today, picked up Hound and Cyclonus. I really like Hound, although the rear section of his alt mode doesn't snap together as tightly as I would have liked for it to. Ravage is cool to, but one of his hind legs likes to pop off.

My Cyclonus has a few slopy paint apps, but I have just come to accept that. He has a great bot mode, but I'm not that impressed with the alt mode. The main part I take issue with is the rear section of the jet. It's not very solid. I don't see why they could not have designed Nightstick to attach back there on top of the gap between his legs. Not only would that have solidified the rear section it would have looked better to. When Nightstick is attached in alt mode per the peg hole it looks goofy. I do like how Nightstick can plug into the forearm in bot mode.
