Not me, PCCs aren't my thing.
Still waiting for RTS Lugnut to go up though.

What I posted was a warning to collectors,not a complaint because I couldnt get a PCC set but if thats the way your mind works and you get off on posting comments like that,you have my sympathy.

Wait, wait, wait. That's not true. Ewoks are real!

Actually, it's more accurate to call them something more of an "endangered species" only there's no actual list they can register on to provide them any protection. You can usually find a few each season out behind my local Wal-Mart store. That's where I've been dumping 'em after I'm done with them.
And yeah, Counterpunch was just having fun. I wouldn't take too much offense though or jump to any conclusions with him. He has powers and abilities far beyond those of us average Seibertronians. Mess with him at your own risk.

Thank You for your concern but I'm not really worried about being insulted online because someone thinks its easier to take out theyre problems that way instead of dealing with them.

Why? That's the weakest aspect of the PCC Dinobots. It's small, stocky, and only barely more articulated than Cybertron Backstop.

Good lord you are a touchy one. I didn't insult you. The others were right and subsequently have demonstrated that they added an appropriate amount of character points into the reading comprehension skill at character creation.
Scalpers aren't a real problem. They are a boogie man that people blame when they can't find product. There's no profit margin in getting PCC figures, paying shipping and handling, and then PayPal fees with the added hassle of having to ship the things somewhere else. Plus, it's Power Core Combiners and... no one cares about them.
Except me.

CP's right, scalpers are an urban legend.

So I tried asking Entertainment Earth about it, since they're the only site Hasbro lists on Transformers.com as a dealer that actually had it listed on their own site. Here's what they said. Sounds to me like it could very well be hitting local stores soon and perhaps the one I saw at Walmart was just a fluke.
Thank you for your e-mail. As of the beginning of this week, the manufacturer Hasbro has officially moved our delivery ETA from February to March. Our website is live and all information posted comes straight from manufacturer product press releases. So anything that is in stock will show "In Stock." Any other listed status means that we are still waiting on the respective manufacturer to deliver the products to us. Sorry that we cannot offer something more concrete, however all manufacturers have the discretion to delay deliveries based on unforeseen issues and their own changing circumstances. So we are essentially waiting on their delivery whim.

The one you saw wasn't a fluke. Like all figures lately some show up plentiful in certain markets while others are left bare. I bought both my Dinobots and Constructicons at Wal-Mart back in December and have seen them periodically at various Wal-Marts since.

Yeah, I've been checking every couple hours, and was thrilled to see them back in stock. I just completed my order for Grimstone & the Dinobots, and RTS Deluxe Bumblebee.

The drones transform from vehicles to robot limbs. Try to be more open-minded; you'll get more enjoyment out of life that way.

I don't think I'll ever buy another one of these after the QC issues I had with Sledge and Throttler.
This line is going to fail.

Pretty much every Super Sentai show was the same way.......
This isn't a new concept, just a very hit or miss one. The drone limbs do look like crap and I think fist and feet would may have made it a better combiner. However the main robot the limbs connect to is the problem.
I dislike the turbo guys because the main robo sucks, but use leadfoot in place of him and you get a much more solid presentation.
I like them because I like gestalts, the more the merrier.

As to complaints that the limbs don't transform into robots, I mean, yeah, my ideal TFs are actual fully transformable combiner teams. But I don't say "this Generations single packed deluxe sucks because he doesn't combined with 4 or more other fully transformable robots!" There's good non-combiner toys too. PCCs being called "combiners" makes them subject to some unfair comparisons IMO--they're really more like individual figures with more complex accessories. They're not for everyone with their often weird looking hands, etc. and I would definitely prefer a fully transformable combiner team (I'd prefer that to pretty much any transformer!), but I find them more fun than single, stand-alone TFs of similar size.

Heavytread with Groundspike and Skyhammer with Airlift are both still out of stock, but I was able to order Salvage with Bomb-burst and Undertow with Waterlog at 10% off. Now if they would just appear on the Sightings Product Listings list so that when I get them, I can let everyone know. Same thing goes for Heavytread with Groundspike and Skyhammer with Airlift... although they're listed, there's still no picture showing of either figure.

Step #1 - Walk into toy department
Step #2 - Search for Transformers
Step #3 - Wife looks at me with puppy dog eyes and asks "DINOBOTS?"
Step #4 - After going through at least 8 packs of PCC's including at least 5 Rallybots, I shake my head and sadly whimper "no"
Step #5 - Wife frowns

Well, I received PCC's Heavytread with Groundspike and Skyhammer with Airlift yesterday in the mail and today I finally got around to posting that fact here on the Sightings List page. Unfortunately, because there isn't a pic or jpeg of either figure showing, this information will not relay back to the homepage that these two figures have been found.
