I have no idea if these have been sighted yet. But I was in the Bay Mapleview Mall in Burlington Ontario and they had the Robot Replicas Megatron, Barricade and Bumblebee. I did not see a price or much of anything else. Also, I am not buying them...not unless I see a screamer.
Anywhoo....

Bumblebee looked alright to me, the others I wouldn't touch at all.

Yer, they aren't great at all and for a high price which I have seen which is like $20-$30? Not worth it.

They looked like poop to me.
I think out of the whole unleashed/robot replica line, the only item worth gettingis Unleashed BB. The rest is pretty shoddy.

If they did these right, and made them look like Sideshow Collectibles, I'd be all over them, but as it stands right now, they're just half-assed pieces of colored low-quality plastic.

I would have loved to have been a fly on wall at that meeting. must have gone something like this:
exec 1: hey we need another movie tie in.
exec 2: I know lets make some crappy plastic action figures of the movie characters.
exec 1: Great idea people will be dumb enuff to buy them.
In the end we got Robot Replicas way to go hasbro. I didn't think you could sink any lower.

Hey, ya never know. I'm sure someone will chime in who loves these things. After all, there people who seem to like Protoform Prime though he literally looks like poop.

Those things are a wast of money, as big as a deluxe, as detailed as a legend, and as expensive as a Voyger?! No never will I buy one!

I plan on getting each one but I wonder why Prime wasn't released in this wave

I thought they were neat.
CB: do you recall roughly what they cost?

I snagged him from K-Mart and he cost $9.99.
Yeah 14 pages.. We have had TONS of threads since July 28th that is why it was back so far..
It was just a little review thread, nothing major.
