These got in the other week at our local TRU. I've never been inclined to buy a legends class figure until I saw these. I guess it's the combination of the Cybertron molds, iconic characters and overachieveing with respect to transformation and poseability. Which one is better, in your opinion? Special team leaders or the aerial masters? I'm kinda leaning towards the special team leaders myself.

Go for the Special Team Leaders. They're more special, at least to me . Besides, the other pack has one mold used twice: Starscream was used for both Thrust and Ramjet.

Thats the only 5-pack that I will be buying as well.

I need to get me a little Razorclaw!

Yeah, Special team leaders it is. Funnily, the fig that swayed me into it was Hun-gurr. Never did like the original, but this repaint is undeniably cool.

I thought one of these (or both) was a Target exclusive? TRU? Never find one...

That's odd. It was definitely a Toys r' Us that I saw them in. Well, I live in Asia and the Hasbro distributor is a bit of a prick here, and there's more backdoor stuff in here than, uh... never mind, I can't finish that and keep it PG.

Both 5-packs are exclusive to Target... in the US that is.

Store exclusives are limited to the US most of the time, but when they're exported they can end up in any store. Toys 'R Us is an international chain, but exclusives are only in the US division. Outside of the US (like in Europe) Toys 'R Us is just another (albeit big) run-of-the-mill toy store.
