Saw all of them today at my local store. I really liked Skywarp, I mean Thrust. But man, that BB was way scarier in person. I cannot bring myself to purchase unless it goes on clearance.

Meh on the rest.

I saw them at the store, but I'm not interested in them. On the other hand, I finally got Drift today! :grin:

More confusing and underwhelming repaints on equally underwhelming sculpts.
Pass.

I saw that Sideways/Ice Cream Twins 2-pack the other day at Target and I'm definitely picking it up within a few days. Tailwhip was there too, but he just didn't seem all that impressive to me. This is the first time I've seen that Thrust repaint in Skywarp colors, though - that's gonna be an instant purchase for me. And I'm strangely drawn to that garish Barricade repaint...like a moth to a flame.

That's the second ROTF Thrust they've released. :lol:

Vaguely tempted to buy the BB vs. Thrust pack, since I don't own the Breakaway mold yet. Tailwhip's also tempting. :-?

Awesome.. thanks for the tip. There's $5.00 if you spend $20.00 or more and free shipping for $50 or more. Just had to pay tax, so cheaper than if I went into the store, let alone the time savings.

Thanks for the tip :-)

lol If you think the target bumblebee repaint is bad, check out the walmart bumblebee repaint he's yellow and GREEN! its awful!! :SICK:

I do really like the new arcee repaint though a lot better than the original and the sideswipe is pretty cool too, but I think it would look cooler and a little more like sideswipe if the blue was red.

The local Target has all of these. I know there are figures that are so bad that they are awesome but these guys are just bad. Tailwhip's head looks hideous.

You dont even need to mail order them. They are all at Target on the shelves. I bought them all except the Twins/Sideways set cause I already have a set of rusty twins that came with the White Demolisher set from TRU. I thought the japanese police car and copter were so bizarre that they were cool. I actually like the Bright yellow Bumblebee. He is so bright neon that I display him with my Botcon Redux figures. The Arcee actually is a more movie acurate 3rd motorcycle then the soon to be released Elita One since they never had a brown bike in the movie. The Sideswipe repaint is okay, but nothing special to me.

I really hope they sell that Thrust toy seperately, cause that looks awesome, but that Bumblebee... well, I have the 78 camero bumblebee and the concept version from the first movie. The only other one I wanted was the battle blades one, so I don't need another one. Hpowever, I might want that Arcee/Tailwhip pack.

I've said this before, but Tailwhip + Smolder + Barricade = Protecticons! Grab a Legends Barricade and they're in scale (well, better scale than the Protectobots, at least!)

Thrust is interesting, though mainly vecause I couldn't find, uh, red Thrust, but I really don't want a Bumblebee, especially that one.

I'm considering picking up the pack with "Thrust" in it. The only thing holding me back is BB, which I don't need another figure of. I've been collecting the Thrust mold when I can find it cheap to use as generic drones for the Seekers to command, so this new deco would go great with the few others I have.

SN: Since these are available at Target, I suggest taking advantage of their TF sale going on this week if you're already planning to pick one of these up. They have all HFTD and Generations Deluxes for $9.49, which is the cheapest anyone near me has them, with Wal-Mart asking $11.88.

Since i don't have a local target or a way to one right now, I'm buying 3 of these guys today. Animated-Movi-ified BB and Jetface, Sideswiped and 'cade and RC and the helicoptor. I never liked the ice cream truck boys, their toys just kept falling apart on me.
