I saw these on Wednesday, but I didn't realize this was news. :-(

I suppose there's a ton of overstock Camshafts. I draw the line at this.

That's actually kind of insulting. "BONUS VALUE: a toy so crappy in design that nobody bought them!" Even a Bumblebee repaint would have been better.

What's the price on that set? It better be $35. I hope they don't expect people to pay EXTRA for Hasbro's unsold scraps.

I'll be getting this - everyone who doesn't leaves more for me!

Don't worry; these will be sitting on the shelves for a loooooong time.

I just saw both Leader Optimus and Megatron with the Camshaft bonus today at the Walmart in Blue Springs, Mo. Didn't look like they had been touched. It's a great price point at $35, but I would have wanted to see a variety of bonus bots instead of Camshaft. Why would someone buy a Megs AND an Optimus if you just get the same bonus? Doesn't make too much sense. Thanks for the info and the heads up! Keep up the good work.

Damn...I actually bought Camshaft. Only cause I liked Swindle and put them side by side. Already got Optimus. I keep thinking of buying Megatron but everytime I see him at the store I get disgusted by that shrunken deformed left arm of his. Kinds reminds me of D.J. Paul from Three Six Mafia.

I never bought either Swindle or Camshaft so I'd actually be interested in this deal had I not already bought both Prime and Megs. I do still have the boxes so I suppose I could repackage one of them and exchange it, but that doesn't quite seem one of the most up and up things to do...not to mention Camshaft probably isn't even worth doing it over anyhow. I suppose there's a reason I don't have either him or Swindle this far in to the game...

I just bought both of these.
Still trying to figure out why...

I just MIGHT get this only for MISB purposes...

If I may...why? What makes this any more MISB worthy?

I was at Wal*Mart yesterday, they had shelves full of leader OPs, Megatrons, Jetfires, Devastators, deluxes, voyagers along with these. Hasbro is trying move old inventory before the holidays obviously. Same with GI Joe Rise of Cobra figures, pegs full of old waves--nothing new.

Sadly, I have yet to buy RotF Optimus Prime or Megatron. An extra Camshaft isn't too appealing, however I'm not gonna lie, it's always nice to get free figures! Now if they came with Free Breakaways, or Longarms, or some other army builder, that would be nice, not Camshaft. Well, beggers can't be choosers

Leader Prime is very nice! You should def pick it up!
