Actually Universe Legends Onslaught was listed last week (he was mis-placed in Animated for some reason), so he was the first Universe Classic to listed. Now they have Tankor, Blaster, Heavy Load, and several of the Robot Heroes Beast Wars sets listed.

Just noticed that the Bumblebee Power bot was also put up there.
Too bad I have no interest in purchasing it.

I have to think that BBTS is feeling the sting of HTS offering preorders at normal retail price. I know that I personally have been ordering these items from HTS as opposed to BBTS b/c it saves money and there is almost always a discount code (cough**DISC10**cough) that helps to pay for most of the tax & shipping.
Anyone else doing the same?

Are ther any good discount codes around!?!
If not, I'm not gonna bother.
Still, good discount codes, reasonable shipping(if not waved), April oredering and preordering was very good to Liege!!!
But if I aint saving a dime and paying for shipping, I'm waiting for retail.

I just have such a hard time getting excited about these pre-orders, especially at HTS. Heck, by the time they're ready to ship, I'll probably be able to get these at Walmart.

EXACTLY...
Not to mention, shouldn't these be pretty easy to find in the average store
(I know some people have issues with their local stores just flat-out not stocking stuff, but in general)??
We need to remember that 80-85% of the people who will buy these, most likely are NOT on a forum, or even just online researching, etc.
I would think that a high percentage of the majority of TF consumers will see a lot of these figures for the first time in a store.
I bet the average parent usually only looks at toys when they go to the store WITH their kid(s).
I would think that having the kid there with you and letting him or her actually help pick it out
is part of making the kid happy, and is pretty important in that situation.
I know there's the scalper aspect, but even then.
If you can get to a store within the first few days that these come out, I bet you'll get what you want.
Besides, get around $30 at a time at a Target, and use those coupons!!!!

They do look great in their packaging. Definite must buys.
One question though? ...why must Galvatron suck so bad? I thought Sunstreaker was unimpressive, but Galvatron really is bad (in my book)
They could've made him a larger size class and more work could've been done to the robot mode. The vehicle mode is nice, no complaints there.

Yeah, Galvatron really should've been a Voyager class fig.
But for what he is, I think he looks pretty sweet.
At least you have Dump Load and "Blaster" to look forward to.
Pshhhh.

What is the service like with HTS? I placed preorders with them for Animated and now these guys as well. I also notice the ship dates on the first wave of Animated is showing 05/26 again.
