Don't cave in to ebay! Hang tight, Wal-Marts near you should soon be crawling with them. Dallas was a total wasteland for a couple of months, but now we are positively drowning in deluxes, Rescue Ratchets, and Thundercrackers.

There is only 1 Wal-Mart that I know how to get to in my area, and it's about 50 miles away. It is also one of the smallest WM's you'll ever see, and they suck at restocking. I've been sol when it comes to movie figures for months now with them, and I have better luck at Targets. However, Targets don't have the Voyagers for some reason.

i too have the green one, i was'nt going to get the rescue but after seeing what he looks like with a wash, i'm totally nabbing him now!!

But compare to Ironhide, I like this better. Ironhide looks cooler, but Ratchet wins on stability, while posebility both on par. Just never like figures that can't stand very well other than static pose (yeah, I am talking to you Ironhide!).

Rescue Ratchet does start to show up in random Walmarts now. Good for people that haven't got him yet.

Wow, this pic looks really good. I'm tempted...

Just realize that's one that someone blackwashed. The stock version looks a lot more plain Jane out of the box. It's still pretty good, just not THAT good.

Duh, just realized you might have meant that you're tempted to blackwash it. Never mind...

I was tempted to want one. But since the stock is a plain Nurse Jane, i'll pass.

I have Rescue Ratchet and the lime green one. My area has 3-4 Rescue Ratchet figures.

How do they compare?

not much different in terms of stability or articulation..it is a repaint with the G1 colors. It is a matter of what a person would rather want the lime-green one or G1 colors.

Which one is prettier?

the figure that is shown in the thread has been repainted because mine is very bright. The Rescue Ratchet looks more like an ambulance than the lime green one. The two figures are not much different from one another except for colors and on the Rescue Ratchet, you do not see the Autobot symbols except on his shoulders. In my opinion, the prettier one in alt mode is Rescue.

Aww... That sucks!

Well, the only Voyagers I've ever seen in town (besides Megs) are Thundercracker and Rescue Ratchet. My Wally-World has a ton, and it looks like I'll be picking up a couple!

I hope some gov't somewhere use the Humvee for ambulance.

No, but they should. Grill guards and all!

After having my Rescue Ratchet for about a week now, and Lime Green Autobot Ratchet since July, I have to say, he just may be the best Voyager figure after all. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE Ironhide, but Ratchet is less fussy to transform than he is. I love my Voyager Prime, but Ratchet is taller and bigger than him. I love my SS, G1 colors SS, and G1 colors Thundercracher Voyagers, but Ratchet actually has hands. And the best part is that roof rack fusion canon! Woo-hoo! I likes them both. White or green, they're both winners.

This Humvee really is a magnificent toy. Both modes are commendable.
