I'm surprised it took so long to see this Prime in package. Looks like the only changes from test shot (which I have) to mass production are lighter blue chest windows and gold on the center of torso. I think Hasbro needs to hire people who can transform their toys better.

The same fellow seems to have Megatron in package, too.

Looks alright. I'm gonna open this one and keep my "Robo-Vision" version sealed.

This breaks my Heart. I went into a KB today and saw all the movie deluxe figs. I ordered them from Hasbro, and got them cheap there, but their shipping takes forever and I hate waiting for new bots.

I was gonna get at least 1 but decided not to as, again, I have them coming and rent is upon me!

Later I wen't into a Wal-Mart to waste some time at work, and saw Leader Prime, Voyager Screamer and IronHide, all the Real Heroes, the the little spring up guys and everything.

F rent, I got a cart!

I lugged it all up to the counter and got shot down as a giant warning flag jumped up on the register. After my third manager and a bribe of $50 being rejected, I conseded defeat and now find myself sadly writing this...

Stupid next week not filling the various voids in my life now, hafta wait till stupid next week now.

Oh, Evilmus, that sucks! I've only seen Ratchet and Blackout in person, on a shelf at a wal-mart, but I didn't even try to buy them, figuring what happened to you would happen to me. Sure enough, went back the next day and all of them had been pulled.

I hadn't thought of KB, though. May need to go check them out. (crosses fingers)

I went to 2 one in Fairfield NJ and they had them pegged on the side of a endcap.

The other was across town from that Wal-Mart in Kearny NJ, I was gonna at least get a Wreckage, as I want him to have a strong place in my collection, but they had nothing.

It's a gamble.

* it was kinda cool though cause the cute counter girl kept playing with Optimus and was pissed that they made me wait ;;)

That's one of the very few movie figures I intend on buying.

I can't wait for the Prime toys. The Leader Class especially. He reminds me of a MP Movie Prime in some odd way..............can't wait.
