I've searched everywhere and have found nothing. He goes for a minimum of $24.99 USD on the Internet. It is ROTF scout class Skystalker. He, of course, combines with Mindwipe, and that's why I want him. Unfortunately, I just rarely find him. Does anyone, ANYONE, know where I can get him cheap?

I will, my friend! I'll try.

I asked worker at target to check the back-stock, that's how I got mine. Try K-mart as well, since they're a bit slow compared to other stores.

I bought him the one time I found him, never saw him again.
Did the same thing when I found Sunspot at Meijer, haven't seen him again either.

How weird that this very day this topic was posted when on this very day I took out Skystalker along with a few other TF's that were stored aside for a while. He is by far IMHO one of the best Decepticon scouts to date and I feel a must have. I didn't care for Mindwipe at all so I felt he definenitely can stand alone.

BUT I have get to get my hands on G2 Dreadwing N Smokescreen (Tokyo Festival) simply cause the colors just pop and then I would have a seeker thing going by adding sunspot to the fold for all 3 drones. Anyways lots of luck to you OptiMagnus10 hope you get one really soon 'nuff said!

I've had two chances to pick him up and now regret not doing so. He's still there but I really want to spend the money on food right now.
So, your answer is South Wales, and he'll be shelfwarming for some time based on past experience.

Where in the world is ROTF Skystalker?

Australia.

I saw the same one in the same store twice but never picked it up, and haven't seen it since. I didn't like the bot mode enough to pick it up for 8 bucks, so I sure as hell am not gonna pay 25 for it.

I know, I got him a couple of months back and instantly was mesmerized by him. I told my wife I wanted some more to make a drone army.

I guess that ain't happening.

You could always use the Sunspot repaint to make your army, with Skystalker as the drone commander (only one with a glimmer of intelligence, can control a few directly)...

We had tons at our TRU because they seriously overstocked that wave, but once they put them on sale they quickly disappeared. *shrug*

You should have bought it when it came out! Why did you wait so long?

I've only seen one SKystalker myself and I bought it. I haven't seen any since.

I got him off HTS when he first came out. I only saw one in the wild. He shelfwarmed at an independent toy store at the mall for months priced at 15 bucks, but he was gone when I went in there this weekend (his wavemate Divebomb was still there though).

People really need to stop saying this. I actually wasn't aware of his existence when he came out because I decided all of the previous scouts were s**t. It wasn't until last week when I discovered he could combine with Mindwipe.

People seem to have different taste in Australia then they do in North America. Like how Alternators Nemesis Prime was wiped out in the US but stayed on the shelves for months in Australia.

Probably because Alt Nemesis Prime was a SDCC exclusive but saw a limited (Toyworld stores only) release in Australia.

And I sure as heck don't recall seeing him shelf warming so i'm not sure where you got your info from.

Yeah I know but I'm stupid and decide I don't want the stuff when it's in stores then I regret it months to a year later. But fortunately kmart.com and BBTS have a bunch of the ROTF and Animated that I never got for great deals. Just not Skystalker. Or deluxe Ratchet, Lockdown, or Brawn. Oh yeah Amazon has those guys. Forgot.

I've just heard some people across the Internet saying he was shelfwarming there. Maybe just in a certain neck of the woods, who knows.

Oh yeah I forgot about them! Thanks for the heads up. Nobody ever buys crap from them. They always end up keeping the same stuff filling the shelves for months...or years. At least my local one. They don't get much business.

Found him on yahobby.com and....not enough quantities available. Dammit.

Shouldn't take the word of "some people across the internet" as gospel.

Alt Optimus Prime however was a bit of a shelf warmer, so much so by the time he was marked down you could pick him up for the price of a Deluxe here.

Really? I only saw him once, and I didn't have the money for it.
