Really? It's strange how they distribute these things...We've got 4-5 at our local Wal-Mart.

I got one, by the way. I'm a MISB punk, but I couldn't resist and opened him. I'm glad I did, he's a killer figure. My favorite ROTF thus far. He's good and chunky. I'm psyched about his swords, too. I didn't know he had them until I opened him.

Oh, it's long gone. It was consumed in the sandbox wars of '93/'94. He'll always be my first love.

*sigh*

Oh, well. I can always find one on eBay!

ROTF Ravage - pretty sweet, kinda lame alt mode, but still awesome for the homage.
ROTF Whirl & Bludgeon - they were on sale, and I never got Evac, so it's cool to have the remolded version of the helicopter.

Holy crap. Nice price.

I got the Botcon Wings of Honor set, and thus far I've restrained myself from transforming any of them.

You keeping them MISB? I plan on picking up Scourge and the Sweeps, as those are the only TFs that I really want from Botcon 2009.

Whoa, how did you get Skywarp? Are they showing up at retail already?

Surprise find tonight, ROTF Jolt. Hopefully I like him, I was on the fence for a long time until I saw one on display.

I assumed he was talking about '07 Seeker mold Skywarp and not Masterpiece Skywarp. I think MP is still a month or more out.

News Credits: 1 · Fri Sep 25, 2009 10:52 pm

Yep, it's the '07 re-mold. Sorry to get anyone's hopes up!

You're right about Jolt. There was 1, maybe 2 at Target, which are now gone. I haven't seen any before or since. Also, I haven't seen any Ice Cream Trucks other than the ONE I bought a while ago (also at Target). Are these as hard to find there as they are here?

Ahh, that makes a lot more sense, about Skywarp. :mrgreen:

Yeah, Jolt and the Ice Cream Twins seem to be pretty rare around here, but we are still at the beginning of the wave. But I suppose they're more popular than I would've guessed, since I haven't seen Jolt even once at regular retail until today. Still haven't seen the Ice Cream Twins at all.

The NC state fair flea market has a few Japanese TF's from the A/E/C line.

I pikced up all loose toys today

Here's the list:
Superlink Superion gift set complete,
SL Fire Grand Convoy complete,
Micron Legend Starscream,
Micron Legend TV boy Black Convoy (Nemesis Prime)
Micron Legend Jetfire complete.

Spent a little over $100, but still a great deal.

AND

I met some cool members from TFW at the flea market and TRU.

Sweet haul, bvzxa!

Man, I love the more acute nosecones on the Firebolt and Air Rider.

Thanks, probably the fastest $110 I have spent in a while. What was interesting was the amount of japanese TF"s my guy at the flea market has. He got a Micron Legend Convoy, and a Superlink Grand Convoy for $50 each. He had a loose ML Ultra Magnus too, but I have the Final Battle Convoy set so I'm good.

Does Sliverbolt (main body) need the leg fix like the Target ROTF version?

No. Apparently it was right in the original SL run, but every run after that has had the flaw.

Anyway, great haul! Those were some awesome prices.

Animated Activators Starscream.

I think I've decided to pick up the whole line after I got Soundwave and Fireblast Grimlock a few weeks ago. I already had Thundercracker and Dirge, and found a Cliffjumper at Kohl's around the time the Wave 5 Movie stuff was found.

I really like the Activators line. The figures have a fun gimmick and are pretty detailed for their size. I have BB, Cliffjumper, Ratchet, and Dirge at this time. I'd like to track down an Optimus Prime in the near future.
