I'm not gonna hate on anyone. I was lucky to find Longarm so I'm just just gonna appreciate what I could find. I'm just sticking with the mantra of "patience is a virtue". I figure as long as I'm patient then the 08 Bumblebee, Dropkick, Payload and Recon Barricade will all come to me eventually.

I've already determined that no amount of bitching will make these figures appear in stores in my area any sooner. Plus I've got other future figures that I am looking forward to than the deluxes like Nightwatch Prime, Rescue Ratchet, Thundercracker (G1 deco), Starscream (G1 deco), Stockade, Brawl (Leader class), Desert Attack Brawl, Incinerator and Jazz (G1 deco).

Before anyone tells me that the G1 deco Jazz and Starscream are out they are not out in my area so there still on the future figures to get list.

Great, not.

They've already announced an '08 Cliffjumper, so I'd hold back if I were you.

Yeah, it's gonna be nice when I finally get my hands on one of those.

That sucks. He has been available in CANADA for much longer than in the US. Scored mine some weeks ago at Zellers! Walmart has had him too. Yet to show up at TRU so that is your best chance in the future. Damn scalpers!

Yeah, I heard one of the Zellers in my area got them, but they were long gone by that time.

No sooner do I talk about my having patience and then this morning I'm rewarded with finding Dropkick, Payload & Recon Barricade in a Walmart sort of close to me. No 08' BB but I'm sure I'll find him eventually. With the sparatic sightings of these figures I'd say the shelves will be just over flowing in no time flat with the same figures we're all upset aren't available right now. And then we'll all have our 08' BB's and the scalpers will be stuck stock they can't sell.

I want to join the fun to. Ive had 08 BB and Arcee for almost a month now. I could've snagged Dreadwing to but i only had $20 at the time.

I don't think you missed much. Dreadwing looks fugly. Some of the non-movie movie TF's look pretty cool with the monicle head. While others just look plain stupid!

It's not the monocle head that kills Dreadwing, though--it's the stupid-looking constipation pants he seems to be wearing...

I refuse to buy any of the seeker-heads. They just seem so... half-assed to me. Give them a face for crying out loud.

I dont plan on buying him any way. He's to much like Armada Thrust. The only way ill get him is if i need another Decepticon and hes the only one that i dont have. Or if he is on sale. At least i know i made the right choice though.
