Tennessee- Not the normal place for new releases to show up first, but Tennessee is where Allspark member, Agent X found this 12 pack of minicon repaints. So you may want to stop ignoring the K-Mart on your way home from work or school, and drop in to see if they have a set for you. Retail is set at $24.99.
You can see his original post, as well as, a link to a downloaded picture of the set by clicking here.
EDIT: Also Available at K-Mart.com!!! Thanks HighPrime.
Found anything worth noting lately? A first releases of something, or just something newer? Let you fellow Seibertronians know where they can look by posting in the appropriate Sightings Forum Thread, and in The Sightings Database.

Because they are new, and they are minicons.

Reason enough, for me![:grin:]( "Very Happy")
Plus, these latest generation of mini-cons are pretty involved. Some of the steps for transformation rival Leader Class figures (hello, Animated Megatron), and certainly beat out the legends series 9 times out of 10.

I found them today at the Kmart in Allen Park, MI, on Van Born. None left for now, but they are out.
Minicons forever!!

I hope you realize we are expecting a very precise, detailed review from you on all 12 individual figures.
Minicons and Counterpunch are like peanut butter and jelly.

Part of me is glad I stopped collecting these little guys After Armada.
The other Part want to go and spend all my money to get a collection to rival Counterpunch's

It's funny you mention that, since I pretty recently picked up a complete Universe Superion from none other than CVS. Seems they're the only store that carries them anymore, either![:P]( "Tongue")
Also, just picked this up in San Diego, CA at a Sears Essentials. If anyone else lives around there, there were a few left! And a Cybertron Legends Soundwave @_@

IMA BUY UM ALL!
Its just a shame my local k-mart (is NASTY) and doesn't have them in stock yet. I only have about 60 but I Loooooooooooove Minicons. They really are the drug of choice in the world of Transformers. Plus I don't have any of these molds yet (not sure how that happened![:???:]( "Confused")

I'm beginning to suspect that CP has Minicon's that Takara never even gave names to. Where the heck is your minicon article?
I wanted to get into Minicon's, but I don't have the time to sit down and hunt down every single one of them. I'm happy with the few I have from Armada and will glady add this set to my collection. I may even buy 2!

Got mine!
Thoughts:
Makeshift and Knockdown are assembled wrong. Their legs are attached to the wrong sides of the pelvis. Simply pop off the legs and swap them.
The packaging says "Armada Series", which is incorrect. While Mini-Cons are from Armada originally, these are Classics Mini-Con molds. That aside...
What the hell is up with the Bio on the back of the package? "Many Mini-Con teams were broken apart or destroyed utterly by the greed of the Decepticons, or the desperation of the Autobots." Meow? Since when? Revisionist history if you ask me.
The packaging gives factions to the individual Mini-Cons, they however do not have any faction symbols other than the Mini-Con one.
All that junk aside, these are great Mini-Cons!
This set is easily on par with MB1 and MB2 in terms of cool.
All the figures have individual paint aps and are fairly unique in their look.
Boltflash, Flatfoot, and Bodyblock are easily my favorites.

High praise indeed. I may have to return to my first place of employment for the first time in 14 years...
I wonder if they'll remember me?
