Earlyer release for Premium?

Postby Vile MK III » Thu May 08, 2008 8:18 pm

I'm not sure if this has been posted yet but i was at my local Target (in Wichita KS.) and i sighted Premium Jazz, Ironhide and Blackout. I didn't buy any of em cus I have enough movie Jazzs laying around. Does this mean more Premiums will hitting selfs this month?

The leade class premiums hit about a month or so ago. Voyagers within the last two weeks and deluxes I just spotted the last couple days. All sightings were at WalMart, haven't been to a Target in the last week or so.
Anyone know if the Premiums have the same UPC's as there non-premium counterparts? I have unopened regular Jazz and Barricade that I am looking to get rid of now that the premiums are out.
I assume Target has kept the same DCPI for all deluxes?

I now them all - Targets had the Voyagers, TRU had the Leaders, and I got the basics online. The voyagers just started appearing within the past few days around here, but the leaders have been at TRU for a few weeks.

I'm also in the midwest, and did see Premium Megatron quite a while ago.
I'd say he's one to get, even if you do have the original.
Imo, Premium Prime would be the one to skip (especially if you have the original).

Last weekend I saw the deluxes (minus Bumblebee),
and this week I saw the voyagers.

It was really nice getting Barricade and Jazz for $6.99 each.

Cool, the deluxes over here were on sale too. But I was broke when i saw em and the Pontiac symbol on Jazz was very sloppy looking.

I saw the Leaders and Jazz at WalMart. Considering buying Prime because I dont have the leader class version. But I was really planning to be done with the Movie line. I guess we'll see. If he sticks around for a week or two, I'll buy him.

I have 2 Nightwatch Primes, so the only way I'll get this version is if he goes on a BIG sale.
I mean like under $20.
Otherwise, that money just goes to Animated stuff/Magnus Armor/Universe Classics

Just got Meg, Prime, Iron-H and Black-O from Target. Did not see any premium delux at all.

Talk about premium line, this is much nicer paint appz which should've been released instead of the normal version. I guess Hasbro just figured out another way to *rob* its loyal fans aside from the hord of non-sense redeco.

I spotted a Jazz and Ironhide at target a week ago, and just last night I saw OP and Megs at Wal-Mart.
I really wanna get Megs.

Saw the leader megs, voyagers and deluxe Jazz and Barricade. Barricade's quite nice, just wish they would have painted his hands. :?

I'm in central Oklahoma and have seen premium OP, Megs, Ironhide, and Blackout. Picked up OP since he has a new head sculpt and the blade. I had been wanting the blade any way and decided for not much more than I could buy one ebay I could just buy this guy and have a nice new figure. Also picked up Ironhide because the paint apps looked considerably better than the original, and the automorph never worked quite right on mine. Will probably pick up Megs too, again much more accurate colors. I know that SS is a Target exclusive, but are the deluxes exclusive to any store or mass retail. Also is the BestBuy metalic Ratchet his only premium?

I keep thinking that, but now there are two more TRU exclusives scheluded and with the premium line that is currently out it seems like it will never end. Also picked up premium Jazz and Baricade at WM today. Jazz's paint apps are very sloppy, but there was only one so I couln't be selective.

I need clarification: Has Deep Space Starscream been released yet? I thought he was going to come out alongside the other Premiums, but I have yet to see one in person. I hope I didn't miss it, I've been wanting him since he was announced...
