Now it's "Wanna see my cannon?"

You have the power battler too?

Oh no, just making fun of his boner. lol

I had picked up on that subliminal p3n1s from the get go, but after going online to look at other pictures of the toy, I found that we only get the sense of that shape when a photo is not in high definition and thus the segments blurr into one. You see it much less in this photo for instance:

Has this shown up anywhere? I didn't seem him at any of my local TRU's last week (NYC area).

If you prefer apples but don't like oranges, good for you. However, don't dismiss the fact that many people like oranges and some kind or oranges are better than others.

One step changers arent oranges, they're prunes. Even the kids dont want them. They only get bought when parents buy them as suprise gifts. When the kids get to choose they choose the big boy figures every time.

You can tell you have no children or a clue what they like. Children love the one steps. Much more than the other figures. Because they are easy to transform. See, when children pretend to be Optimus, they don't want it to take 20-30 min to transform it, like it does with Voyagers. As a matter of fact I would go as far as to say Hasbro saved this line with the introduction of the one steps and quick change transformers. Because at the current price point, character selection, and shoddy construction of the current generations line it would have been dead in the water by now.

Then why is it at every store I've been to lately I never see any Generations movie figures and the shelves are crammed with the 1-step changers and power battlers?

I can confirm that. The only deluxe or voyagers my TRU has are their exclusives. Everything else are one step changers and power battlers.

Meanwhile in my local toy store in the Netherlands, the One-Steps, Power Attackers and Legions are selling. The Generations, Titans and Mega Flip Bumblebee aren't.

I dont think my Walmart will see that wave anytime soon. In any case, speaking of one step changers and retail, I visited my local canadian walmart to find that they lowered their price on One Step Changers from 11.82 to 7.97. It's not a sale but a price reduction instead.

Oh and they reduced the price of generations figures to 10$ as well.

Target near my office had all of Wave three in stock. I picked up Snarl, which was the last Dinobot I wanted. Not interested in the Hot Shot of Bumblebee though.
They also had a Skids, Waspinator, and Roadbuster.
