Occasionally, between sets via the good ole Android.

It's nice to see something new on the pegs, but redecos? Geez.

*sighs* C'mon Hasbro, push out more new product. These constant lulls are why I've given Bandai all of my money lately.

Samurai Ultrazord FTW. (How many times will I have to say that for you Hasbroans to get it?)

Can't wait to get my hands on that air raid!

NOTE TO SEIBERTRON: Please do not put It Is Him on the Photo Staff.


This is good news! I'm looking forward to Darksteel.

Oh, I know

i only like air raid in this wave.. the other ones are pointless.. now can we have wave 6 hasbro??... PLZ!! god I want wheeljack soooo bad!!

Yes! Hopefully these will get to my area soon, but given how slow my stores are, I wouldn't expect them until super late October or early November. It would be really nice if they'd get here in time for me to use one of the Target coupons, though.

nice score
going to have to take a look this week

Man I need to get back into a gym............

man, i just sucks that we have to wait for these to start warming pegs.. then probably wait even longer to get the soundwave/que wave.. which, hopefully won't get lost in the shuffle of the holidays like other recent figures have.

i really dislike this lull in figures.. it doesn't quite make some sense. it would be different if they were pushing star wars figures.. but only targets have really stocked anything new, and there were very few of them at that. i don't get it.

sometimes i wish hasbro would just bite the bullet and get rid of all of the shelf warmers rather than let them linger and take up space that could be occupied by figures that people actually want.

Went to Target and they had atleast 3 of each.. Got Air Raid, Darksteel, and Armored TopSpin for $0.44 ea. They were on sale for $9.99 and I used the Target $5 off mobile coupon and the $5 off coupon I got at the Transformers Tour..

Awww... Still waiting for Wheeljack/Que to come out on the shelves.

When I first clicked on the story that's what wave I thought it was. Want that movie Wheeljack a lot as well!

Cool finds though, I might go for Air Raid.

• Darksteel (Deluxe DOTM Sideswipe repaint/remold with remolded DOTM Deluxe Starscream MechTech weapons)

Looks so much better than the original release of this mold; unfortunately it's really hard to keep this guy from looking like Evil Sideswipe. It's a distinctive mold of a very distinctive character; I don't think it repurposes well.

• Autobot Armor Topspin (DOTM Deluxe Topspin repaint)

Some actual mold changes might have made this interesting. As it stands, we're getting the Twin Twist redo of this mold as well; so a recolor of this character seems especially redundant. The original colors were better, too.

• Air Raid (Brand new mold!)

Novelty is most of what this one has going for it. This mold is such a head-scratcher. Taken on its own, it's really not awful (nor is it particularly outstanding). But it just doesn't fit with the other DOTM toys at all. I'm inclined to wonder if this could have been a much more interesting entry if Hasbro had held onto the design for some future line. Then I'm inclined to wonder if that's what they'd already been doing for a while before giving up and deciding it was time to stop sitting on it.

I'm glad these are hitting more mainstream retail stores. Here in Connecticut they just started showing up in some grocery stores. I found Darksteel and Armored Topspin, but Air Raid has been eluding me.

It is nice for a wave to start on the East coast for once

Hey... is the mobile coupon target only? cos we dont have target over here in asia but i felt like attempting to use the coupons

Add this to the list of questionable Hasbro decisions:

Why release a repaint of Top Spin ALREADY, when we still don't have a Deluxe Leadfoot to complete the Wreckers set? Give us ALL the Wreckers before you start repainting them! (And while I'm on the subject, WHERE IS HA TOP SPIN?)

Apparently the deluxe leadfoot that's coming is a Target exclusive (no surprise). What's surprising is that its supposedly a 2-pack ... with ... another repaint of topspin in twintwist colours Oh well, the more wreckers the merrier, i could use those guns, gonna get that when it comes.

I'm gonna predict this Armored Topspin as a shelf warmer already.....

Im quite sure it wont. Since its a) a car b) has guns c) is an autobot, kids will buy it. The regular roadbuster and topspin are all wiped out here. I'm sure kids would be looking for "topspin" and this would be the closest they get, so they but it.

Well....if going by how many normal Topspins are sitting around the targets and walmarts of San Diego I'd say they will be here most likely. I frequent a lot of them too and yep....I can find the normal one at all of them.

I know certain area's have different shelf warmers...but here I can find plenty of him sitting around....

Yeah im sure thats the case for US, but in Asia, there are very few areas that sell toys. You'll think its easy to find tfs in Japan, but it was one of the hardest tast to do! Luckly i went prepared, with specific locations . Oh, and even here, Singapore, EVERY incarnation of deluxe DOTM BB is sold out.

Occasionally, between sets via the good ole Android.

Now it wakes sense.

'Cuz I was thinking "Not even El Duque is awesome enough to make posts on Seibertron while doing push ups.

Come visit down here in Miami, I know this awesome barbecue pit that serves the best gator burgers and fried frog legs youll ever taste !!!

On topic: Ill get Darksteel and air Raid for the hell of it, but screw the Topspin repaint.

Any of you guys want to pick up Armored Topspin for me cheaply with that manufacturers coupon? I need that one for my wreckers collection and I doubt we will get them here before the coupon runs out. I could PayPal the money no problem.

Dlx Air Raid & Darksteel
all for $5 each plus tax w/ coupon
saw a Armored Topspin but left for someone else

visited 3 (T), 3 WM and 1 TRU and saw these only at the last Target I went to
