I'm telling you, you should order form TRU while they are available.

My order came to $33.03 for Movie Wingblade shipped. BBTS wants $44.99 for each, and that's before shipping.

Ebay prices are about $40 before they are shipped. So if you don't see him in the store, then you should order him right away.

These figures are outstanding.

Jetstorm shall be my Classics Thunderwing...

Jetstorm= Movie Soundwave.

TRU.com is the way to go...BUT, pray they package it and they make it to you in one piece

I sent mine back right after opening it because Jetstorm's package looked like a boxcutter was taken to it (the bubble was jagged-cut all along the top), and Wingblade's was dinged up with the key rattling around the inside of the package. Fedex tracking says their return center just received it, so I'm crossing my fingers they send 2 new ones to me like I requested. I attached a note that in a nutshell lambasted them for using ONE EFFING air pouch for padding in the shipping box (those ultra boxes are HEAVY and one pouch did absolutely nothing). Some people have been really lucky; they got theirs in good condition with NO padding whatsoever in their shipping box so it's really a crap shoot when you order them online...but SO worth it to get them, they are really NICE looking figures (especially Wingblade, that Warthog mold is SWEET)

I just ordered mine. Sounds like TRU ships pretty quick, huh? Hopefully I will get them next week.

Yes, my TRU order for these Ultras shipped next day. Like most others mentioned, they don't have any shipping material, just the shipping box and your items inside. My figures came in with a lot of dusts all over them, one of them had a 1 inch tear at bottom right corner of front window.

Overall for the good price, no tax, reasonable shipping & fast turnaround, I am still happy with this online purchase, imagine all the time & gas money saved.

Cheers!

Well, that's terribly unfortunate for you. I, however, would have kept them. Sounds like the toys were fine inside their shredded boxes and I am far from an MISB collector.
Free the Toys! Free the Toys!

Oh man I got my Jetstorm today. He is just awesome. I was surprised
what looks like blue highlights on him is really a sparkley purple.
I think the Sky Shadow version is still nicer in the colors department
but I think I'll keep Jetstorm anyway.
His weapon showed up in the mail as well, JOY!
Clear blue minicon saber, WHAT!?:


Don't pass these up!. I'm gonna wait on the Wingblade to see if I
can find him in the store. I'm sure he will show up. Now I need the
green Jetfire version.

mines shipped today. Wingblade is my new second in command.

DANG IT!!!!
Now I want Jetstorm...
I'll look for him tomorrow, otherwise I'll use TRU.com.

EDIT:

Does anyone think these will ever be re-released in better colors????
I don't mind them, but they're not that exciting...

I really like the colours on Dreadrock/Jetfire, the original version from Galaxy Force/Cybertron.

So has anyone actually spotted them in store? The last time I ordered from toysrus.com (the WW Prime and Megatron two pack), I found 10 of them in the store literally three days after I received mine. I'd hate to waste money on shipping again...

There were four of each at the Toys R Us in Bloomingdale, IL yesterday afternoon.

No dice at the TRU I checked today...
But there's one that's only 8 miles away.
I'm gonna look there Monday, and if not, then I'll deal with the shipping charges.

If Wingblade had hands, I'd probably get him.
But I guess maybe I'll get 2 Jetstorms...
Couldn't they have done something to cover his head in the alt. mode????




Anyone have any TRU coupon codes??

I did a rough search for TRU coupon codes when I placed my online order, no avail. However, you can use google checkout (if you are new customer and haven't used it up yet) and save $10. That'd be pretty sweet!

REALLY?!!?!??!?!?
Thanks a lot Coolpop...
Very much appreciated.
Enjoy the weekend!!!!

Well, I broke down and got a losse but Complete Cybertron Optimus Prime for exactly $20. Even though the color scheme will look odd, I will make a new intro and story for him when Wingblade arrives. Now All I need is E-Megatron.

I thought the same thing, to be honest. They look so boring in the pictures. According to the tracking info, mine have just arrived at my house, so I won't see them in person until later, but the figures themselves are very nice. The colors are pretty bland, but maybe live and up close they're better.

I like it...looks like Springer in robot mode.




Now to get Wing Sabre

I picked up Jetstorm from a local TRU, and I'm still not totally impressed, but I think it is a nice figure.
I couldn't get myself to buy a Wingblade... I can't stand that he doesn't have at least one hand (of some sort) that aren't those guns.
Plus, even though there's a lot going on with his bot mode,
I just don't like it. Especially those feet.

I'll either get another Jetstorm, otherwise I'll feel justified in getting 2 Onslaughts in August.

Well, mine arrived on Monday, and I like them just fine. I like Wing Blades paint job better than the C-Wing Sabre honestly, sold my WIng Sabre a few months back because it just didn't do anything for me, but this one I like. Jetstorm is kind of bland paintwise, but is a nice looking figure when he's in your hands. All in all, I'm glad I ordered them.

That's cool. I just know that with what I've bought and what I plan to buy I have to be pretty selective; there will be limited funds to for Animated and Universe stuff.
No way I'm putting toys on a credit card.

Yep, I am from the MISB camp (for the moment at least...my 4 year old may have something to say when he finds my TF stash )
I ALMOST did keep them just because I was worried that I would never see them in-store, but I hit paydirt today at my local TRU and scored a perfect Jetstorm; just waiting for Wingblade now

WOO HOO!!! I just bought these today and I used my Hasbro Rewards. So it wound up only costing me $40. The price of 2 voyagers.
