I'm sure all of you already know of it's existence, but I just picked mine up today. Shocking because the local TRU usually has nothing.

I just got home and havent opened it yet. Tell me this set was worth getting :shock:

I'll be picking mine up tomorrow after I make sure all my bills get out. I had it in my hands but decided that bills were more important after the spending spree I had at Botcon.

Both my TRU's (miles away too) don't have this. I really want one too. All they have are FAB's, and Cybertron Monkey Prime.

You checked the feature shop and where the Transformers normally were before the movies release?

I know we just put ours out here about a week ago and I had to put them with the old Cybertron figures.

People should get this set while they can.

It might be the only way a lot of folks ever see WWI Megatron.

Yep. Nothing.

Unlikely to really be of help...but Toy R Us in Newark, California has two more sets left. No reissues left though.

Newark is a little too far for me. I live in the Bay Area.

Are the joints on Prime still very loose?

Yes. I haven't really played with him yet, but his joints are definitely more loose then Megatrons, particularly the joints connecting his legs to the torso. Not a big deal to me, but is this a reported problem withh the set?

Now thats a nice set. I never see anything like that at my local TRU's or other super stores for that matter.

Took me forever to actually get a hold of the Ultra Mag/Skywarp two pack.

They look alright. How much was it?

WWI Prime/Magnus have that issue it seems. My WWI Magnus has looks legs when picked up. But, he stands well once he is set down. He's been standing just fine for weeks now though, so that's good.

Nice way to get rid of all the leftover WWi Prime stock. Hasbro are far too clever for their own good sometimes.

I hope countries apart from the USA get this set,
Im guessing it would probably be a TRU AU exclusive and cost at least $60 if it were released here. Im more than willing to have a 2nd WWi Prime just to get my mitts on a WWi Megatron. The best thing is, there is no way in hell he can be worse than GiJoe Megatron!

Yeah, I believe that was one of the complaints when he first came out. But I'd still like to buy him so this set might be a good time.

Ah I see. Yes, Prime can stand well enough, but there's no doubt he gets wobbly-legged if I were to move him a little.
