~_~ Only cuz you guys have given me tips on helpful sales before. XP hehe.

To scalpers who see this: D:<

It's a nice $25 dollar purchase. They had - Rollbar, Skids, Ricochet, 2 broken Prime(s), and 2 Sunstreaker(s). Well, 1 Sunstreaker now. *smirks*

Enjoy!

You got it! :D


Trunks: Seriously. Last I heard of a sighting it was in a CVS? o.o

Anyhoot, I was in the toy section *didnt even notice that till I saw actual toys* looking at "make it yourself" robots, astronaut ice cream, and RC cars. Next thing ya know, I see "Transformers". I read more "Transformers: Alternators". My face = :O Wait, WOT?

Since when did Fry's start selling toys?

Good luck with your Sunstreaker. That damn thing is a pain to transform. Never figured out how his windshield is supposed to go, and his dashboard. The instructions, as always, suck and blow chunks. I just have mine in car mode. Looks very nice that way. Although I kind of really, really, REALLY want a Rollbar too.

lol! yea, well thanks. I hope he won't be that bad. Atleast not as bad as Movie Prime and Starscream. >.<

But I will be very concious about breaking him since -you say it's hard- and cuz I saw some of the returned toys:

And quite frankly, they looked like they got raped by a very retarded child who couldn't transform toys for ****.

2 Prime(s) were in this condition, along with some Rollbar(s). And lol @ Prime in Rollbar box.

Toy Abuse! XD

Looks like they may have even dropped that Prime from the top shelf out in the storage area.

Either that, or they taped the back half of the bubble back together very well.

Since when was Prime orange?

Yeah, I saw these and was about to head to Fry's. Good thing I didn't, because this is all the local Walmarts have, exact same variation, for five bucks cheaper.

Industry Frys also has crap load of Alts (Ricochet, Skids, Rollbar & Sunstreaker), same $25 retail. Too bad Frys hardly give good discount on sale or clearnce, even their returned/repackaged items only get 5% off from original price. No good!

Cheers!

Oh, what is so annoying about Fry's is they put EVERYTHING back on the shelf. It doesn't matter if it is dented, scratched, broken, or shattered. They do it with every product. I've seen too many with those stickers that even SAY NOT to put it back on the shelf, be put back on the shelf. Your best buys may be always at Fry's, but it may also be busted, so be careful.

Sunstreaker isn't too bad. He isn't as frustrating as Alt Grimlock. I do like mine, and I have G1 Sunstreaker standing proudly next to him. And when Classics 2.0 Sunstreaker comes out, that is going to be pure gravy. :)

I despise that Fry's. It's such a pain to get there, and when you do, the parking is atrocious.

Really? I didn't think Sunstreaker or Sideswipe were that hard to transform at all. Probably towards the easier side of the Alts that I have.

Same here, they are easy enough to transform but their 'bot modes aren't that great. I keep them in alt mode all the time.

What's awesome though it that Primes in a Rollbar box.

$25.00 a piece? Ouch.

Prime busted up like that? Double ouch. (though it's not a total wash.) If all the pieces are there, he's not broken. The bumper can detach because of the design. He could be transformed correctly and put back together.

Well, I'm glad there's no Fry's around here. We don't need anymore places that will put damaged goods back on the shelf. Idiots. >_<

haha. i saw this today at frys.... tried to get it on clearance, somewhere along the lines of 75% off. they offered me 10% and gave me some bs excuse explanation. whatever. nobody in the right mind would buy that for 25$....he was probably missing his gun anyway.

So if you want to try to play the lottery, Fry's website has Alternators listed as an "assortment item", but they have a picture of Wheeljack. I guess you just order one and get what you get.
