Toys R Us online has Alternators for $19.99 still!? Optimus, Mirage, Tracks. People are paying out the wazoo for Alts on Ebay. Does anybody know how many more of these "hard to find" Transformers are in Toys R Us Warehouse? Nobody else has any as far as I've found.

The only one you list there that is available is Optimus Prime. I didn't even see a Tracks listing.

There are only 2 Alternators I need to finish off my collection 100% and they were ones I never EVER saw in stores. Swerve and Camshaft, I never saw these guys at all :MAD:

. And I am putting them off cause I don't want to pay $$$ to get them off Ebay..... *Sigh*.

It took me about 2-3 months after their "US Release" to find Optimus Prime and Mirage.

I had a chance to get Camshaft, but I opted out. Now I'm kicking myself in the arse for that one.

I had Swerve in my hands in stores, twice, and didn't get him, and now he is the only Alt. that I don't have.

I suck.

I've managed to get every Alt. available in Ireland (except for Swindle but I got Hound so I don't count him) but that's only 6 . I managed to get a Sunstreaker on import on top of that but the prices for alts on the net are ridiculous so I just wish some of the American shelf warmers would make their way over here :sad:

They have about a dozen camshafts in my local TRU store. Still haven't picked one up though lol.

Has anyone in Midwest America seen the new Civic Rumble & Jaguar Ravage in any stores (not just TRU)?

Whew. Good. Thank you.

Any idea on release dates? Or where (here, even) I could find such info?

Thanks to this site, I know Rumble was just released in the UK...

i believe rumble is to be released in the us official at the begining of next month.... idk about ravage

Speaking of Alternators, is there really any difference between Alternator Optimus Prime and Kiss Players optimus Prime? They appear to be the exact same figure packaged differently. I'd like to know if anyone has both. Also are Kiss Rodimus and Alternator Mirage essentially the same as well?

Yup, the same, sans a few accessories and a plethora of pervyness that can only appeal to the truest fan of sexual deviance.

There is no US release date, as of yet, for either Ravage or Rumble. Infact, weither or not they will even BE released here is still unknown. We've been given absolutely no confirmation that they will.

Rodimus head with a visor and a wierd fishing pole. That's all I know.

KISS Players Optimus Prime has a better job than the Alternator version.

Rumble ain't out in the uk yet as far as I know. Think when it was newsified on this site there was a mistake made where a foregin site was mistaken for an English site.

It's a shame that only Prime is available, I could really use that Alternators Mirage. I'd also like that G1 Smokescreen, I really don't need him but $7.99 is too good a deal.

I never tried to go to checkout, but the site I checked did not indicate they were sold out. And smokescreen for 7.99? Where did you see that?
Still Optimus for $20 still I just bought one for 28. on EBay, I got taken.

It looks like they have pulled the G1 Smokescreen down finally. I was wondering how long it was going to sit on the website unavailable.
