I stopped by Walgreens on a hunch and they had 1 Brainstorm hanging on the peg. He's at home now.

Yes, it is.

I don't think "Takara" is spelled "B-L-U-E B-O-X".

Still, if it resemble that thing, that's kinda awesome. I'll need to put in fresh batteries to check what kind of sounds it make.

So getting back on track ... thanks to Target not advertising things when they're actually on special, I was only going to get TR Chromedome. Then I took him to a price check point, found he actually WAS on special, so I took him back ... and picked up Highbrow AS WELL.

They had two of each plus Mindwipe and Weirdwolf (to those who love to correct people, yes I know that's not his name but I can't be arsed calling him otherwise).

I wasn't expecting to find them. Turns out distribution is just **** to my town.

I picked up Bisk from RiD at Meijer yesterday. It's okay, but doesn't seem quite as good as the rest of this line.

After seeing Thew's review, I WANT TR Highbrow. May even go and pay full price for it without any regrets.

Wasnt there also deluxes on that raincheck I gave you a while back? You could get him for 15$ at TRU (wave 2 has come to TRU now).

That raincheck was outdated ages ago. And I never think of taking one myself. :/

Whether he sucks or not is irrelevant. He is necessary for the Neo-G1 collection.

Well, Meijer has Transformers on sale for 25% off, so I bought a TR Lazerbeak. Meh.

True. He's a display
You get him in a pose, fix his head and leave him there

I beg to differ. He may not be the best Deluxe in the line, but he's way better than the likes of Scourge or Skullsmasher.

Scourge is way better than highbrow. His head isn't nearly as loose and wobbly as highbrows. Skullcruncher is one of the best deluxes IMHO. Once you fix the legs he's even more awesome.
I don't like highbrow because of the head and the propellers break so easily.
I have to buy another highbrow because the stupid propellor broke.

Let Hasbro know, they will send you a replacement figure when they get more stock in. Hopefully wave 3

I don't think "Takara" is spelled "B-L-U-E B-O-X".

That's because it was made by Blue-Box toys, not Takara.

Holy sh!t, you were not joking!

That random thing IS a Transformers!!!

Not before it was a (unofficial) Go-Bots.

Blue Box really knew how to pimp their stuff out.

Speaking of big bases, TFSource finally billed me for Legends Fort Max. They really need to find a faster boat to send these out on, the extra month is getting tiresome.

I beg to differ even more. The propellers are fine on mine, the head wasn't even near as loose as Scourge's (I also stuck part of a glue dot on Xort's head, and that really helps), the altmode is way cooler, my Scourge has extremely loose hands compared to Highbrow, and even discounting the legs, Highbrow is way better than Skullsmasher.
