I went there hoping to find the Comic 2-packs or the new Combiners, but found these instead:

Check out how different Stealth Lockdown looks compared to the image on the back of the box! They're not even similar. [Correction: see below! He looks TOTALLY different when he's out of the box and in bright light!]



I probably wouldn't have bought these repaints if it weren't for the adorable lil Legends packed in.

Front paged pal. Thanks for the heads up!

Are the comic 2-packs even available in the US yet?

[Chaoslock]

Wow, Lockdown allready got a Nemesis version?

I thought those were going to look half-decent when I saw their pictures online.

Seeing them from pictures IRL, damn.. those are just terrible

Wow. Ratchet looks terrible, and Lockdown is so inaccurate to his box picture it's not even funny. That's worse than how inaccurate the robot replicas were.

congratulations on your purchase

RC 13 found them in Michigan too. So yeah, they are certainly showing up some places.

I saw these in San Diego last weekend (Nov. 8th). I don't really pay any attention to Animated though and only noticed them because of the translucent Lockdown.

I only noticed them at the store because of the sheer ugliness of Ratchet.

Wow. Ratchet looks terrible, and Lockdown is so inaccurate to his box picture it's not even funny. That's worse than how inaccurate the robot replicas were.

Interesting thing: while he's still in the box, he looks very different - much darker than the picture on the back. But I finally got around to opening it this morning, and once you get him out of the package and more light hits him, he suddenly looks more like the picture on the back. And when you transform him to alt mode, less light passes through and he appears a little darker. The pic on the box is deceiving, but the way he appears while he's still in the box is also deceiving. If not much light is hitting him, he looks darker; in bright sunlight, he's more transparent. Very interesting figure; I don't regret getting him. And the Legend OP and BB are really cool, too. Lil BB is almost as small as a mini-con!



As for Ratchet: I actually like the yellow version better than the red/white version, even though the red/white looks more like a real ambulance.
