Big Lots stores have the same Prowl but in a different package. Their price is 2.50. From discussion on other boards it actually seems to be a larger size version of WSTF Prowl. There is a Sideswipe also in this line - comes in red and blue, and with police lights! Did you get the giraffe? If it is a KO of BW Neo Longrack that would be really cool.

Quite a few Gobots there. Actually one of them looks like a KO or recolor of Cy-Kill, interesting. Does he have his wheels?

I am not familiar with these toys. Is it just "figure on a skateboard?" How much do the figures tend to cost? I actually sort of like the Megatron influence there but don't get a Ratbat vibe. Maybe with a repaint. I'd probably just be content to stick with Robot Heroes (though there is no Ratbat there... yet!!).

Hmm what is Gordmans? A chain? I have never heard of them. But I would love to get a KO of the BW giraffe (Longrack) if the quality was decent. You should totally check into posting pics, maybe from another Internet connection?

Got word from a relative I had on the hunt for me that the figure has been acquired. Thanks for all tips!

I am really interested in getting the new Madman figure. First off does anyone know if it is already out? Secondly will I be able to find it easily or am I going to have to hunt for it on eBay for a premium? At a store like TRU or WalMart, will it be in with the Marvel figs or somewhere else? Thanks for any tips!

That seller is also trying to charge $65 for a $10 Big Lots TM2 Megatron KO.

Shame I would have sold you mine for a few bucks less than BBTS' price

I have this KO. It is actually pretty nice but hey it is a KO. Actually the guy who got it for me is the one on that animepunch thread linked to above. No way is it worth $40.

That is a decent effort. Just wanted to check, did you know that there is going to be an official recolor of movie Jazz in G1 colors? Granted you may have wanted to do this anyway.

Most of this stuff is back to regular price (for example, the Alt Mirage that I think they've never had in stock).

The Soundwaves were already gone when I got to this. I had a 20th DVD Prime in my cart and after checking out was told it was unavailable. Still, managed to get some good prices (mostly for Christmas toy drive fodder).

Pics of the other exclusives are now available on TFormers. They look nice, but somehow (for me) they do not really capture the characters. Springer is probably my favorite G1 character, yet I don't really feel a need to have this toy. If anything I prefer Energon Bulkhead as my Classics Springer. I like last year's set better. It was more focused (granted there were fewer TV show characters for BW).

The Target exclusives apparently represent "Sector 7" which is the human tech based on Transformer tech. In this respect it makes sense that they would only be vehicles.

I don't get why they are bothering with the new Arcee repaint given the one they already have. I like the other two, but probably wouldn't get them at full price.

Might be nice to see him out of bag and in robot mode. As it stands this does not really do anything for me. Translucent Robot Heroes Mirage even looks better.

I don't own this car anymore but: I probably put the logo on around 1996 or so I would say. It wasn't paint, actually it was pinstripe, but it worked because of the red car. It may as well have been permanent - when I got rid of the car, the stuff wouldn't come off.

I know the Blackout/Scorp pack is basically $5 off. Are any of these other packs giving a discount from if you had bought the figures individually?

I managed to catch the show completely by chance. I want to say the first episode I saw was one with the Dinobots and it was on at like 6:30AM which was not a time I was usually up at. Lucky me

This weekend I ordered my 5-pack with Ship to Store. I was going to just buy it if I saw it but it was not in stock when I was at the store. Side note, if you just go to walmart.com and search for Robot Heroes this set does not match up, they have misspelled it as Heros in the item name.

The movie line is definitely getting me to buy less, at least. I'm still interested in TFs, but really only if they go back to things like Classics, Cybertron and Alternators.

I noted this in the "faux WM clearance" thread but might as well mention it here. This past weekend my local WM had all remaining Cy and Cl in the clearance aisle, but apparently not actually marked down. At least there were no stickers. Unfortunately the nearest price scanner was not working either.

RickCoronel are all of those Transformers? Are the cars 1:24 scale die cast or customs?

I saw the same thing with Cy Metroplex a while back. It was not discounted at all but had the tag. This past weekend I found that basically all of the Classics (Dev 5-pack, and some deluxes) and Cybertron had been moved to the clearance section, but had no tags. I was going to scan them but the nearby scanner was "temporarily unavailable." Decided not to bother bringing them to the register since there were no stickers.

Hmm, what's your employee discount? Is it worth working there?
