Has anyone else found these guys yet?

by **Sportimus Prime** » Wed Oct 03, 2007 8:58 pm

I haven't found ANYTHING new in the last 30 days.

Way to elusive for me to find.

Assuming you mean the G1 redeco movie toys, this is a rare chance for a Brit to be smug. Saw both of them last time I was in town. Not that interested in either, unless I can replace Ratchet's head with something less... weird.

I was able to snag them a few nights ago after a midnight restock at WM. However I snagged the only set.

I just picked em both up the other day here at Wal Mart. Kickass figs. The Rescue Ratchet reminds me of Jetfire without wings :lol:

and the Thundercracker Kicks the hell out of the plain ol Starscream.

Bought em last week. Ratchet is awesome, but Thundercracker is way awesome. Glad I held off on the SS mold until better colors came out.

i really dislike my thundercracker because it looks like he has a scar under his right eye because of poor paint application....

by **Sportimus Prime** » Thu Oct 04, 2007 3:16 am

I so want these, but there are no voyagers anywhere right now.

Well, other than evilBay that is.

by **AlienQuiksilver** » Thu Oct 04, 2007 4:29 am

Shelf warmers here as well. They are both quite awesome. I wasn't a fan of movie ratchet until the rescue version came out. Comes standard with a light blackwash, too. Looks great!

by **HugeBadWolf** » Thu Oct 04, 2007 5:09 am

Shed-loads of them over here in the UK

Admittedly, that's not a great deal of help to you though....

Gaaar,

Try Wal-Mart. I know they are not WM exclusives but strangely that is the only store where I've seen them.

I have Thundercracker but haven't opened it yet. Still thinking about Rescue Ratchet.

by **Auto Bot** » Thu Oct 04, 2007 9:31 am

I've seen loads of Thundercracker. But i'm not getting him. I don't think he will have the exact mould of Starscream if ever he gets to join the Movie sequel.

It's not like G1. This kind of repaint doesn't make sense for the Movie line.

by **Dagon** » Thu Oct 04, 2007 9:44 am

I have and love Thundercracker, but as for Ratchet I think I'd wait for the Best Buy metal finished one. I have limited my movie line buying to the Voyagers or LEaders becuase the newest wave of Deluxes has dissappointed me greatly. Although, I got Recon Barracade last night because I love his mold, and Dropkick, man is he pretty cool.

Saw Arcee, and I couldn't put it down fast enough. What a POS.

by **Auto Bot** » Thu Oct 04, 2007 9:54 am

Many of the awesome figures are found in the Deluxe class. And they're right for the budget too.

Well, again, I'll respectfully disagree with you. I think the first wave of Deluxes were great. But then, I seem to enjoy the figures everyone else hates like Brawl and Barricade and Swindle and (yes, gasp) even Scorpanok.
I dislike the formless junk like Arcee. Yes, the bike mode looked nice, but the robot mode made me wonder why you would produce such a junky looking figure at all. No, for everyone who will flame me for not agreeing with them, I don't own Arcee, and yes, my judgement was made just by looking at it in the store. But I don't like Arcee, alright? I'm not up someones' ass because they don't like Deluxe Brawl, who happens to be one of my favorites. Yes I have Wreckage, and he's one of the best of all movie TFs.

Brawl, Barricade, Wreckage are some of the best Deluxes. Although i did compain about Brawl's tiny size, he's still an awesome, well scupted, figure.

I've only recently came to appreciate Scorponok. Thru the reviews. So i'll see if i can still catch him this late.

As for Swindle, i like the car, i like the bot, but the face? I can't digest the mono-lens face. Looks more like a nameless drone, than a full-fledged Transformer.

You're so right. A character with one eye and no other facial features? No way that'd ever work as a decent character. That's gonna remove interest in any toy with a face like that.

by **Auto Bot** » Thu Oct 04, 2007 12:13 pm

It did remove my interest on 3 Deluxes.

Shockwave only gets away with it for having an abnormally good toy for the time, and some good charecterisiation (both in comics and tv).

The movie drones have none of this.
