Went to Best Buy this morning and picked up Ratchet and Megatron. The paint schemes are way better on these than the regular voyager ones.

[jezones]

what section or the store were they in?

[DavidT]

Over by the computer software on an endcap

At the ones near me, there's a last CD sized-aisle between the CD section * the digital camera section where they've got a few toys, such as Elmo dolls that are co-releasing with some Seasamee Street DVD, and a few of those Robotic pet dogs... They already had a spot cleared for 'em.

That's just my store, you never know. Yours might just get a four way display or stick 'em on an endcap. Always go and look everywhere.

Any chance we could get a comparison pic with both Ratchets?

I wonder why they went with Ratchet instead of Prime?

You know, I was wonder that myself.

Robovision Prime would probably be considered the Equivalent of Metallic Megs here.

Robovision Prime would probably be considered the Equivalent of Metallic Megs here.

I don't agree with that. On Robovision Prime, only the gray parts were metallic. The rest was normal coloring. I'd love to see an all-metallic voyager prime, because the paint scheme (and the fact that I can't find the damn thing anywhere) is keeping me from buying it.

*shrug* I was just thinking along the lines of...

Stascream - Ironhide

Blackout - Ratchet

Megatron - Optimus Prime

Thundercracker - Rescue Ratchet

Metallic Megatron - Robovision Optimus Prime

G1 Redeco Starscream - Metallic Ratchet

Incinerator - Offroad Ironhide

First Strike Optimus Prime & Evac (Both Autobots... )

Any sign of these on the West Coast? All the Best Buys within 40 miles don't have them in stock, but they are suppose to get them in by Tuesday.

[Maldroth]

Called my local Best Buy and corporat urged them to release the figures with the DVD on the 16th, but there is not crazy penalty if a store puts them out first.

My suggestion is to call and save yourself the trip if you are going to try to go there early, otherwise pick them up on the 16th.

[Leon S Kennedy]

Those American only? I love that Megatron, eh!

[tom brokaw]

i was near 2 best buys and decided to take a look, unfortunately there was none out and the worker told me tuesday.... they even had the tables and shelves and posters set up for the release already, so i guess thats a good sign.

[zemper]

hey, i just emailed my uncle in New Jersey to look out for this cool repaint, any reviews of the QC issues on this before i decide to give him the go-signal to buy this toy?

i'm worried because i've heard reports of Rescue Ratchet having QC issues, mostly on the lower part of the humvee mode, near the front.

:MAX:

I didn't see any today. And it was so crowded that I doubt I ever will. I loathe where I live. I hate where I live with such passion. Too many a**h*les.
