I Can't Find 'Bumblebee' or 'StarScream' Anywhere?!? ... :(

[Prognosticator]

First of all, DANG IT! :cmad:

I should have known that these two (Bumblebee & StarScream) would be hard to find, but JEEZE! I've been to Wal-Marts all over the city and nothing! :(

But of course, everyone's got the fugly copper SS that was made b/f the actual character concept was realized :whatever: ...no thanks. :down

And Bumblebee, he's even MORE elusive! Of course, there's a BAZILLION tanks (WAY TOO SMALL IMO), and Hasbro obviously isn't fooling anyone when it comes to the toys that weren't in the movie: "Wreckage", "the Red Sportscar", yeaaaaah riiiiiight :huh: :whatever:.

So, is anyone else having a rediculously hard time locating a specific model?

[Prognosticator]

Good grief, the (base price) $10 Bumblebee is on Amazon for $35!?! :wow: :(

That SUCKS!

[Jimmy, GL]

Which versions of BB and Starscream are you looking for? The newer versions or the older ones.

[DJ Kornphlake]

Try other stores instead of just WM. We have plenty of both at my TRU.

[Prognosticator]

I went to TRU on my lunch break yesterday, and they have LESS than Wal-Mart AND Target combined (if that makes sense :huh:)

I'm looking for the $20 Voyager Starscream, and the $10 Bumblebee that's the next size below that. I've looked EVERYWHERE in the city! Plus, I even looked at Target's & TRU's websites. They don't even have those listed there anymore!?

Well if you wait until this weekend on July 14th the 08 Camaro version of BB will be released or its supposed to be and it should be in good supply. If your looking for the 74 version of BB you screwed because I hear they stopped production on him and he wont be released in future waves. So either keep looking behind all deluxes pallets for him or just get the 08 version. Ask you nearest WM or TRU when they restock and just try to get there early.

SS Shouldnt be that hard to find. He will be released as a repaint Target exclusive with a new head and maybe the old version will be restocked in your area soon. Just keep looking, find out your areas shipping schedules or just wait for the new versions. :ninja:

[Prognosticator]

I want BOTH! :cmad: :(

[Prognosticator]

Oooh yEEEAAahhhh! My throat has been starting to bother me again for about a day and a half, so I took a 30 minute break at work this morning to go buy some Airborne & Ricola at Wal-Mart...

It was PORING rain and I dashed in with enthusiasm, smartly heading to the toy section before the medicine area (boring!)...Well I went straight to the Transformers and they had a FULL STOCK and brand new toys!!! And at least FIVE Bumblebees!! :wow: :o WHA-WHOO!

So I bought a Bumblebee and a Jazz for the collection!! :up: How sweet is that!? Now all I need is the Voyager Starscream! :)

Wait which version of BB!??!! 08!?!?!? THE NEW VERSION!??!:heart:

[Prognosticator]

No. The 78' :up:

I heard the 08' doesn't come out until July 14.

[Eddie Brock]

I just saw, like, 3 Voyager Starscreams in KB Toys. Granted, they were $25, but it's still not that much...considering how quickly they're selling out.

[Syn (Mercenary)]

I was in TOys'R Us and they had protoform Starscream and Voyager Starscream. I still have yet to find Bumblebee. :cmad:

[Timstuff]

Good thing I got mine when I had the chance. All that's left at Wal-Mart now is like a million bonecrushers and swindles, 5 leader Megatrons, and maybe four Ratchets and Ironhides (two each). I seriously don't know when the next shipment is going to arrive, but it's becoming rather apparent that Bonecrusher is not a very popular figure, most likely because he's too small.

Can I get an Amen?

[Savage Yautja]

Just for the record Bumblebee is a '77 Camaro.

[Duppy]

I havent had much trouble finding anyone except 08 Bumblebee. I got extremely lucky and called a target at 8 on the dot and had one held for me yesterday. Starscream is stocked plentiful here in PA

[Timstuff]

08 BB doesn't come out until August.

That Ironhide TF is the hidden gym of this entire series! Not only is the detail AWESOME, but the transformation is among the best!! :up:

Grab the Ironhide if you haven't yet! :ninja:

[Duppy]

08 BB doesn't come out until August.

No, the deluxe 08 bumblebee is out now. I dont know if you guys read the tfw boards but ppl are finding them everywhere, if you want pics I can manage them, but they will be crappy cellphone pics since my camera blows

[Spidey-Bat]

Man, I better continue to keep my eyes pealed for said BB! Yesterday at Target, I noticed that they've released an entirely new wave of TF's with the "Movie Graphics" on the box (like the others), although every one of the new ones are TF's that didn't appear in the movie...."Oh, that Habro!" :whatever:

But I haven't seen the 08' BB yet :(

[Prognosticator]

Damn, I just saw one today but passed b/c I didn't want to spend so much. Now I'll probably never see it again :(

You should go back and get it! It's got a better transformation than SS, and it's as detailed as any on the line :up:

[Syn (Mercenary)]

All the new stuff isn't released til August, right?

[Spidey-Bat]

You should go back and get it! It's got a better transformation than SS, and it's as detailed as any on the line :up:

I checked out this other Target hoping they'd have the Robo Vision Prime. Unfortunately they didn't but they had EVERYTHING except Megatron, either Prime, and the 77 Bumblebee. They had the new ones (08 Bumblebee, movie-designed Arcee, and Dreadwing).

I picked up Blackout, Ironhide, Ratchet, Starscream, Brawl, 08 Bumblebee, and Bonecrusher.

I'm only getting the ones in the movie except Megatron and Scorponok. Megatron is a huge pain in the ass to find and I've never been crazy about him. Scorponok just does not appeal to me at all.

Now all I need is the Robo vision Prime and I'm finished.

[Spidey-Bat]

I just opened Ironhide and his transformation is probably one of the worst I have encountered in a Transformer in some time. I can't get the pegs on his crotch to fit into the slots one his arms so his arms can fit underneath cleanly.

Score! Now that's a mega purchase right there!

[Spidey-Bat]

Yep. I also had like a gift card for $60 so it only cost around $75 for all of them.

BTW, I hate Ironhide's transformation. I got him to robot mode with no trouble, but getting him back to vehicle mode is a major pain in the ass. I can get to the point where I have to put his back end to the front part. I got the arms in the pegs but when I did, it seemed too forced and I put him back in robot mode b/c I was afraid he'd break.

[Prognosticator]

It's true that this might be the most sophisticated line of Transformers maybe ever. And I've experienced similar frustration in terms of speed, with Baracade. But don't give up on ole' Ironhide, maybe he'll grow on you. :up:

[Spidey-Bat]

Barricade is hard? I can do him in a couple seconds.

I hope Ironhide can grow on me. I just hate how they made the arms. There's too much "this has to fit perfectly into this" for me. I'll have to try again because I got it but it seemed forced and I think something was not done correctly.

I opened Brawl and his arms a little pesty to get in the holes. I'm probably going to open Ratchet up next. I'm hoping for a smoother transformation for him.

[Prognosticator]

Ratchet looks awesome too! I haven't opened him yet, but I've got him at home. I've got all the autobots and Voyager Blackout and Baracade. (And SpyShot for fun, since he looks so real:))

[Spidey-Bat]

I still can't get Ironhide to transform back to his vechile mode smoothly. I have no clue what it is I'm doing wrong. The windows don't touch the roof and the front of the car is crooked. I almost want to return it or buy another so I could have 1 in vechile mode and 1 in robot mode all the time.

I opened Ratchet and I'm satisfied with him.

[Duppy]

transforming ironhide back to alt mode is tough for me with his arms and his cannons....besides that I can transform all my movie figs (leader prime and megs, ratchet, starscream, both bbs, barricade, jazz, bonecrusher, scorponok and blackout) with ease

[Spidey-Bat]

I finally got Ironhide's windows and all flush with everything. I'm not really sure how, I just played around with how the crotch went when I connected it to the front and eventually found a way. I leave the cannons off of him in vehicle mode since they touch the ground just a little bit which annoys me. In time I'm sure it'll be a breeze for me like all Transformers have been.

[Syn (Mercenary)]

I too had trouble with his transformation. I have ni idea where you guys are finding these new figs. Every store I call they have no clue, and when I get there they have stocked first line up action figures.

[Spidey-Bat]

The Target I checked didn't really have a whole lot. They had 1 08 Bumblebee (which I bought), 1 Arcee, and 1 or 2 Dreadwings. Everything else was Swindle, Jazz, Brawl, or Bonecrusher (mostly the latter 2). They had 1 of each of Starscream, Ironhide, and Ratchet (all of which I bought) and 2 Blackouts (1 of which I bought). They had a crap load of the the small Energon/Cybertron repaints and those ones that are cell phones and cameras. Other than that there wasn't much selection after I bought my stuff. I feel bad for the poor bastard who went there after me.

[Syn (Mercenary)]

Every store I ask never heard of any of the new ones. Don't mind me asking, do you live in the US?

[Spidey-Bat]

Yeah. I live in NJ.

[Syn (Mercenary)]

Yeah. I live in NJ.
Son of a mother! Why can't I find any? Dammit! Now I gotta look even harder.

[Spidey-Bat]

Where do you live?

[Syn (Mercenary)]

[Spidey-Bat]

What county?

[Syn (Mercenary)]

[Spidey-Bat]

Ah, I'm near Newark. Good luck there though :O

[Syn (Mercenary)]

Thanks. My search is getting ridiculous. I feel like I'm looking for atifacts of hidden origin, instead of toys!

[Spidey-Bat]

Tell me about it. I drove myself crazy with Marvel Legends years ago.

[Syn (Mercenary)]

Those are pretty much impossible. Its times like these where I wish I worked in a toy store.

Don't buy the Arcee, no matter how tempting! If people start buying that suck-@ss figure, the next thing we know she'll be in the sequel! :down :cmad:

[Syn (Mercenary)]

But...I want to get her. I plan on getting all of the figures.

[Prognosticator]

NO! Only get the ones in the movie, unless it's uncontrollably cool like SpyShot :p

[Syn (Mercenary)]

Sorry, man. I plan to get them all. Even the dudes from the game they comin out with. :woot:

[Spidey-Bat]

Don't buy the Arcee, no matter how tempting! If people start buying that suck-@ss figure, the next thing we know she'll be in the sequel! :down :cmad:

I almost did since it looked alright but I'm sticking to the ones in the movie. I may get the repaint of the Energon Arcee though.

[Syn (Mercenary)]

If you play the game, you'll want to buy those other ones too. Especially the tow truck. He's such a friggin pain in the game.

[Spidey-Bat]

I went to TRU today and they had the Blackout/Scorponok 2-pack. Fortunately I didn't open the Blackout I got at Target so now I got Scorponok for only $6 :)

They had 3 Starscreams, 4 Ironhides, and 2 Leader Megatrons. Everything else was protoforms.

[Syn (Mercenary)]

Did you find that Robovision you were looking for yet?

[Darthphere]

****, I can't transform Ironhide back into the truck. I fail at life.

No he is really hard. You know the side panels of the truck? Lock them in and keep pushing on him. Things should eventually click and right themselves.

The part of the body that just kind of hangs loose there.

The grey part sticking out on the top. When you take it part, it's part of the back windshield.

Yes. For some reason it doesn't want to pop back into place, which is the in between the panels on the legs.

[Syn (Mercenary)]

Ok. When I do it do everything best you can. Then move that piece to where it is suppossed to be. It will offset the rest, but its ok. Then try to connect the side door parts to the body of the truck. Make sure those click into place, and try to keep the windshield part in its proper place. Then try to push some things in or around all over the whole thing and all the internal stuff should right itself. If this fails, I'll get mine and try it so I can better tell you. Also, be sure not to put excessive force. I am always fearful of breaking a non fixable part.

The most realistic toy and yet the hardest to transform. If you are still having problems, when I get back I'll transform him again and give you better pointers. Did you get Brawl? Cause his arms are impossible.

No, I only have gotten him, Jazz and Barricade, the last two are super easy.

And thanks for the help. I wish I had the patience for these things like when I was 8.

[Spidey-Bat]

Did you find that Robovision you were looking for yet?

Nope :(

[Syn (Mercenary)]

Nope :(
I can't find what i am looking for here and you have them up there already so I have no luck with him down here either.

[Darthphere]

I give Starscream a 8 out of 10. I'd try my hardest to get 2008 Camaro Bumblebee. he is impossible to find, but 10X better in every way then 1976 Bumblebee. His fron doesn't connect in car mode. :csad: At least you can get Ironhide to work. He just won't work.

Ok, good news. I got the automorph working again. It was jammed for some reason.

Also, most of the Decepticons look lame to me for some reason.

[Spidey-Bat]

Darthphere, check out this video about the Ironhide figure. At about 6:40 he changes it back to vehicle mode and gives some tips.

twp1xG_MKbc

Definitely don't buy the Deluxe Brawl. His arms are a pain in the ass plus he's too tiny. I just leave him in tank mode all the time.

[Syn (Mercenary)]

I like it a lot. My biggest beef is, like the others, his size. For the biggest Decepticon and most likely biggest transformer in the movie (second to prime maybe) he is the smallest voyager. :huh: I have heard no permanent plans for a leader class Blackout, so settling for the voyager is not so bad. Overall the figure gets a 8.5 out of 10 from me. I am really strict, so keep that in mind. Scale is a big deal to me. I would reccomend Bonecrusher, but his size is way off. I do like him, but I wish he was an ich or so bigger. Also, have you considered Rachet? Cause he is great too. Only problem, no weapons besides his axe and "cannon." Where the hell his gun and saw from the movie are, who knows. But his transformation is smooth, his robot form is pretty good and his vehicle is excellent.

[Spidey-Bat]

I just got Blackout today. He's a nice figure. Size is never a real problem with me. If the figure is good, I couldn't care less. They can't make them to scale with the movie. If you don't have Scorponok, check out Toys R Us, they have an exclusive 2-pack with Blackout and Scorponok. I'm glad I did not pay the full price on Scorponok because he is a VERY vanilla figure.

His robot is just pointless, but he never had it in the movie so who cares? I like the figure overall though.

I want to get them all at one point. Ratchet seems like a cool figure. Bonecrusher looks complicated, and what is with that rake thing?

I'll keep an eye out. Is it true the propellers fall off though?

[Spidey-Bat]

They're removable but they don't fall off if you touch them.

Bonecrusher isn't that complex. Ironhide is.

[Darthphere]

Yes, I know that already.:cmad: :cmad: :cmad: :cmad:

I don't know, I see some of the Decepticons and they just don't look as nice as the Autobot figures. Maybe it has to do with them being military vehicles.

[Spidey-Bat]

Brawl definitely sucks. Bonecrusher is decent, Blackout is cool but he could have been bigger. Scorponok is VERY basic and not worth the $10 seperate. If you can't find the 2 pack, I'd suggest passing on him unless you REALLY want him. Starscream I haven't opened yet. Barricade is the best Decepticon I have.

Yeah, I jumped on the Barricade figure when I saw it at Target. It's funny because there's plenty of Brawls left everywhere I go. Starscream looks good though.

[Spidey-Bat]

There are a lot of Brawls because everyone knows he sucks.

[Syn (Mercenary)]

Starscream is a good figure. Don't pass up on him.

[Spidey-Bat]

****. I opened my 08 Bumblebee and he has a little black spot on the the right side of his head :mad:

He's difficult to transform. You have to budge his front bumper down but I'm afraid I'll break it :(

I used to tell myself that before my friend & I started hunting all of them down. :(

I can't find him either and he's "old"! But I have to say with the non movie ones, their heads could be different instead of all being very similar. I still plan on getting them though.

Why are you against the game and Arcee toys?

[Prognosticator]

I'm against Arcee period. She stands for everything that went wrong with the G1 era, specifically TF:The Movie!

It's just symbolism that I can't shake. :( So I avoid Arcee like the plague!

[Syn (Mercenary)]

I agree female transformers was a bad idea, but its status quo now. i am not going to pretend it didn't happen. Therefore, cause her toy is cool, I'll get it.

You're sexist :o

[Prognosticator]

I never ONCE said it was b/c Arcee was a woman (or did I? :huh:), it's because of how Arcee was forced into TF:TheMovie just like the others. I'm saying, all the Autobot replacements in TF:TheMovie were steps down, and Arcee is the one reminent that always comes to mind.

I think a whole lot less of Ultra Magnus than I do Arcee, I'll tell you that much! "Robert Stack?!" :whatever:

[Darthphere]

Rodimus Prime is God compared to Arcee.

UPDATE: I got Ironhide back into the ****ing truck! YAY! Now, to transform him again into robot mode and never touch him again!

[Spidey-Bat]

Don't worry, you'll get the transformation down. I did. I got it back into truck mode (miraculously) and was afraid to touch it. Now if I can do it with my eyes closed.

Does anyone else make sound effects when transforming their robots?:csad:

*slowly raises hand*

[Syn (Mercenary)]

If its easy. If I am doing Ironhide I generally curse and yell at him until he's transformed.

[lars573]

You know it's funny how the same store can be stocked radsically differently in different locations. For example I was in one Wal-Mart that had Starscream, Ironhide, and Megatron in Voyager class. As well as a decent selection of deluxes. But another didn't have anything but Rachet and Blackout. And not but Swindle and Boncrusher in deluxe.

[Prognosticator]

So it seems word has cooled on the possibilites of a Voyager Bonecrusher and/or Leader Blackout?? :(

[Syn (Mercenary)]

They may be wave 3 coming when the DVD comes out, but don't quote me on anything I just said cause I heard it from another source.

[lars573]

Leader *anything else* is a no go. We were very lucky to get a leader Brawl. I also wouldn't hope much for a voyager Bonecrusher.

I went to the website yesterday....:wow:?!

Sooooooo, did they underproduce Leader Brawl b/c I haven't seen ONE yet!

[Syn (Mercenary)]

He's not officially released until August.

[lars573]

He's not officially released until August.
Actually the later waves of some movie toys aren't out till September and October. Like T-cracker and Rescue Ratchet.

http://tfarchive.com/toys/checklists/live_action_movie.php
TFarchives movie line check list. It says that RR and T-cracker are wave 4. And that they, along with wave 5 and 6 of the deluxes are coming in September/October. It also lists leader Brawl as wave 3 being September. But "September" probably means the last week or two of August. They also don't have the Blackout repaint. He's being converted into an Autobot, Evac. With a colour scheme to match Cybertron Evac.

[Darthphere]

I saw Final Battle Jazz at the store recently.

[Syn (Mercenary)]

I saw that Quick changers Frenzy. No clue why I can't find Arcee, Dreadwing, Dropkick, Payload, Thundercracker, 08 Bumblebee, Robovision Optimus, Voyager Megatron, Brawl Leader class, or Swindle.

[Prognosticator]

Yeah, haven't seen the 08' Bumblebee yet, even though a few people on here said they got him. //

[Syn (Mercenary)]

**** you :o :(:cmad::(
:yay:

[d.k.]

I got him :)

Nice
I couldn't find him at all in the store
So I ordered him off Ebay
Looking forward to getting him

[Spidey-Bat]

How much you end up paying for him?

[d.k.]

About 42 canadian
It sucks that I over paid like 27 bucks, but I couldn't find him anywhere. So it was worth it to me

[Spidey-Bat]

Yeah. He is one of the best figures.

[Syn (Mercenary)]

Yeah. He is one of the best figures.
I know this is weird, but 76' BB's feet bother me. 08 BB has more realistic feet and not so blocky. Its an issue with me. No clue why. Plus the "glass" is plastic, not paint. :D

[Spidey-Bat]

I actually like how 74 BB has the trunk of the car as his feet. I always like TF's that have a part of their alt mode noticeable in their robot mode.

Then what is wave 2? :huh:
In leaders? Megatron. Due to the weird way the movie toys launched wave's 1 and 2 of most sizes launched at the same time at the end of June. Save deluxe whose 1st wave was the flaming space turds (aka Protoforms), so their wave 2 and 3 launched at the same time at the end of June. Right now wave 4 of deluxes ()'08 BB, Arcee, and Dreadwind) are trickling into stores, along with wave 3 voyagers (voyager Prime/Megs).

So its normal the wave 4's aren't in every store yet? (BTW, I actually like the protoforms.)

[lars573]

They are coming out now, they'll be everywhere soon. I have an '08 BB. That I bought on Monday. And the Zellers I was in had 5 each of BB and Dreadwind, plus 1 Arcee that I saw. I couldn't dig through the pegs with Metroplex and BB under one arm. :cwink:

[Prognosticator]

So the new wave Deluxe Optimus Prime, is this the same one as the "Laser Vision" Prime or whatever?

[lars573]

Yes there are 2 voyager Primes. The regular one and the Target exclusive Robo vision repaint.

There is no deluxe Prime beyond the protoform. Takara is putting out clear Protoforms as a convention or contest exlcusive.

There is the Leader, Night Watch, Target Voyager, and Regular Voyager.

The Night Watch is essentially an Ultra Magnus-esque repaint of the Leader. The Target one has slightly lighter coloring than the regular one.

Robo Vision, that's what I was trying to say earlier. :)

Those sorta flew off the shelf here. It's hard to find them anymore. :(

But there was also a Two-pack exclusive that included the Original G1 Prime, and the current Voyager Prime.

[lars573]

That was Classics voyager Prime.

Regular Voyager Prime (http://www.hasbro.com/transformers/default.cfm?page=Products/Detail&product_id=20280)

I checked my TRU today. They used to have a section near the entrance with all Transformers stuff, now it's all gone. All that is left is half for TFs. They had 1 Blackout/Scorponok 2-pack, 6 Ironhides, 2 Starscreams, and a **** load of the protoforms.

Seriously, I like the protoforms. Why does everyone hate them?

[Darthphere]

What the **** are Protoforms?

[Spidey-Bat]

I didn't say anything bad about them. I just said there were a **** load left. The one thing I hate about them is they do not come with stasis pods.

They're basically the Transformers in their pre-vehicle mode.

[Spidey-Bat]

EDIT: Double Post

[lars573]

Protoforms come in stasis pods. Like in Beast Wars.
That was Beast Wars. Movie Protofroms are Transformers tricked out for space travel.

[Syn (Mercenary)]

Yeah. What he said.

[Spidey-Bat]

Well........they shouldn't be :o

[Syn (Mercenary)]

Well........they shouldn't be :o
They transform to make it through the atmosphere. Then they switch the mode out for a new vehicle form.

[lars573]

Well........they shouldn't be :o
Well........it is! :ninja: Still it's a small change, that fits in with the movies logic.

[Prognosticator]

So I go by Wal-Mart a coupld of days ago, and there's a mint condition Starscream just sitting there....but my friend said he's already located one so I left it.

Just waiting for the Leader Brawl now. ...And 08' Bumblebee.

[Green Scar]

I work overnight at Target, and that's when all of our TF toys come in. I make sure i'm the one that does that aisle, so if i see anything come in, i'll let you know.

[Syn (Mercenary)]

Wow. Lucky. This is what I must get a job doing! Target toys.

[Green Scar]

Ha. It's not that great. Working 10p-7a really kind of sucks...and i'll only be doing it for another week or so. But that doesn't mean i won't be finding some cool TF toys. I was lucky enough to get myself a robovision prime last week. We got 1 case in and i hung out until 8am the next morning so i could get it was soon as i could.

[Syn (Mercenary)]

Can you tell us when you get new shipments and what you get? For some reason the shipping sucks, and some places haven't gotten things yet.

[Green Scar]

Well...we get TF stuff in almost everynight...but a lot of times it's those diecast toys, or the real gear toys. The other night we got a couple of cases of those $7.99 scount Target exclusives in. I think that's what they are anyway. Tomorrow night we'll probably get a good load of TF toys in though.

[Syn (Mercenary)]

Good. Thats the info I needed. :ninja: I was hoping for a restock at the end of the month.

[Green Scar]

Last thursday night we got 3 or 4 cases of the voyagers in. 2 cases of leaders and a couple of the deluxes. there were a couple of the 08 bumblebee...but they didn't last.

[Syn (Mercenary)]

Dammit!

[Green Scar]

well...if i see any come in i'd be more then happy to scoop him up for you.

[Syn (Mercenary)]

Thanks, but I am trying to do it on my own. Its my own arrogence.

Swindle??! A non-movie character?! :huh:

[Syn (Mercenary)]

Yeah. You got beef? I am getting em all. Including Arcee. :oldrazz:

[Prognosticator]

Lucky you. :whatever:

That's an expensive quest, my friend! :(

[Syn (Mercenary)]

Tell me about it. I already blew 148 bucks. :(

[Prognosticator]

have you seen the new TF Movie toys? The "real-life size" ones? It's like a phone that bursts into a dagger, and a palm pilot than bursts into a "bow".

I donno, maybe as a small child I would've liked them. But they're pretty hokey. :o

[Syn (Mercenary)]

I'm not getting those dude. Just the deluxe, voyager and leaders.

[Green Scar]

Tell me about it. I already blew 148 bucks. :(

i wouldn't exactly say you blew 148 bucks. I'd definitely say it's money well spent.

[Eternalzero]

i wouldn't exactly say you blew 148 bucks. I'd definitely say it's money well spent.

Eh, I would say he blew some, lol.

I was thinking of getting both leaders plus 4-5 voyagers, but then I saw the Ultimate BB and am holding off for that.

Did you open your toys already? For an entire set of Transformers, I'm not so sure I would've, but then again I still haven't opened my robovision OP and find it VERY hard to resist.

[Syn (Mercenary)]

I don't plan on selling them. I have loved Transformers since I was a kid. The point was to transform and display them. May even pass them to the kids. But I plan on getting most of the transformers movie toys. I got tons of old beast wars toys too. Still got them and always will. But when I get doubles, I sell that.

[Prognosticator]

Are there any plans to release "dicast" metal versions from the movie toy line??

[Syn (Mercenary)]

Yeah I think. But they are small. They might already be out. I'll put the link on here.

There is an assortment of 3" movie titaniums but that's it.

I got the links to all of the titanium series movie guys above. There's 5.

[Prognosticator]

So do they transform while staying attaching to the autobot standing pad?

[Syn (Mercenary)]

Don't think they transform dude.

[lars573]

3" Titaniums=non transforming, have rotaitnal articulation of he arms and waist
6" Titaniums=Transforming, and decently articulated

[Syn (Mercenary)]

If they transformed they would have a 3rd image which they don't.

[Optimus BERG]

Hi everyone. I'm new here and have located all the movie Autobots except the '08 Bumblebee. I live in Tampa, FL and have scoured all the TRU, WM, and Target's in the area. Any other suggestions? I've written Hasbro about it and the bastards won't respond. I don't want to pay $50 on eBay if I can find it for $10.

[Prognosticator]

^ I haven't seen one yet either so don't give up hope. I'm willing to bet that most stores haven't even opened their boxes in the back!

[Syn (Mercenary)]

Damn stores!

But what this really is a chain of unhelpfull people in both the stores and hasbro's department.

[Spidey-Bat]

I went to Target and Walmart. Target had nothing. Walmart had only 2 things worth mentioning, Leader Megs and the74 BB/Barricade 2-pack. I picked up the Leader Megs, not sure if I will keep it.

[Optimus BERG]

Speak of the devil, Hasbro finally e-mailed me back:

[Green Scar]

Well, i work at Target, as some of you know, and i found out today that they are starting to "phase out" the wave 1 toys. Meaning a lot of places haven't gotten wave 2, and phasing out the wave 1 toys so they have room for all the new ones. so if you haven't gotten some of the wave 1 toys yet, do what you can to get them because if you're able to find them after teh wave 2 start flowing in, then there won't be many.

that's what i understood, anyway.

[Syn (Mercenary)]

Crap. All I need is leader Megatron.

[Green Scar]

i know you're trying to do it yourself, which i respect....but just say the word and i can look for him around here...he doesn't seem too hard to find here.

[Syn (Mercenary)]

Well, I also got friends of mine in other states looking. If I got you to send it to me, chances are they would find one and I would have 2.

[Green Scar]

alrighty...it was just an offer

[Optimus BERG]

Crap, if anyone can find me a Bumblebee 2008 Movie Deluxe I will gladly send them a money order for the cost of the toy, shipping, plus $10 for the trouble.

[Syn (Mercenary)]

seibetron.com says the toys are officially out in stores now so start looking for them.

[Prognosticator]

D'oh! I better hurry! :(

[Green Scar]

Went in to Target today to pick up my paycheck...only new item on the shelves was the Ultimate Bumblebee.

[Syn (Mercenary)]

Yet.

[Green Scar]

Yet.
What?

[Syn (Mercenary)]

Thats the only new toy in there so far.

[Green Scar]

Oh...true. Well now the only way i'll be able to find out what they have is if i go in to look as a guest (because Target REFUSES to call customers customers.)

[Syn (Mercenary)]

customers customers? What?

[Green Scar]

Here....
They refuses to call their customers "customers." They must be referred to as Guests

[Syn (Mercenary)]

They refuse to treat customers as customers. They treat me like an inconvience.

[PROLIFIK1]

Haven't found the new set of toys yet, but was glad to have picked up an Ultimate Bumbelbee at Target. I had already given up since I couldn't find any of the 1st wave of figures. I went into Target without any intention of buying anything since I knew they'd still be out, but ran into 1 Ultimate Bumblebee sitting on the shelf.

I had bought it last Tuesday...
http://pic14.picturetrail.com/VOL518/3339981/9204806/270198383.jpg

[Syn (Mercenary)]

You need 1st wave figures? Cause if you do, you should look in obscure places man. Bonecrusher and Swindle are at a shoprite I went to, so if a place sells toys, check it. Could get lucky. ;)

[PROLIFIK1]

^ Yeah I really slept on the 1st wave. I remember before the film released, Walmarts, TRU, Targets were just stock full, but I didn't think of them really selling out dry. Once the film released, I went to check it out and they were all empty. Only ones left were those figures that transformed into the small electronics like the fake looking PSP thing.

I'm in California and we don't have "Shoprites" I'll probably just get them off Ebay. I guess if folks want them that bad then I guess I we can pay the extra they charge on Ebay.

DUde, thats insane. You're paying out your ass! Get em off an online toy site. Walmart, TRU, target.com.

[Optimus BERG]

Except none of those sites ever have Movie Deluxe Bumblebee '08.

[Syn (Mercenary)]

Oh of course not. If they did, I'd have him by now.

[Jack_Sparrow789]

I was lucky enough to pick up a '74 Camaro Bumblebee today at Toys R Us, but whats wierd is I've been looking for Scorponok for a few days and the last two times I went to Target, Walmart, or Toys R Us, they were cleared out of any of the action figures. I mean they had absolutely nothing. Weird, considering they were stockpiled when the movie had just come out. :huh: I was also lucky enough to get Starscream the day after the movie came out, too.

[Spidey-Bat]

That's because they're resetting. They're letting everything clear out on the shelves and then putting the new stuff out. It sounds weird but it's what they do. They let everything clear out and then rearrange the shelves. In my Target, they used to have all the action figures in one aisle. Now they shrunk the Hot Wheels section in half and put like TMNT and Power Ranger figures on the other half of the aisle.

Screw TMNT, I want my Bots!:trans:

What sucks is I don't think they are restocking wave 1. So you may be screwed with trying to get those. I always see lots of Blackouts and Ratchets at the KB toys near me. So check that out.

A Voyager Prime repaint is coming out. It doesn't have the flame markings on it. It's the traditional red cab and blue flat bed.

I liked the Scorponok toy as well. His robot mode is horrendous, but it is not in the movie, so I can see why they did a quarter ass job. But the beast mode is very articulate and cool. There is also a battle ravaged Prime repaint coming out for voyager.

He's the deluxe tow truck. He was from the game. You may remember him as the pain in the ass that you could never kill because he swung his crane around to deflect any attack.

aaAAaaa, okay. my friend just got the upgraded Xbox 360 yesterday so we're looking forward to some quality TF gaming soon when he visits :up:

[Syn (Mercenary)]

A lot of the new wave 3/4 deluxes are in the game.

Oh, yeah. Forgot to mention Thundercracker in that list.

[Prognosticator]

SWEET! I'm looking forward to playing the 360 version :up:

But I enjoyed what you did with that list ;) :up:

[Syn (Mercenary)]

Glad you like it. I have been searching ebay for a lot of the old Beast Wars too. No luck so far. Out bid. :(

Voted fer ya BTW. I hate voting in those contests though.

[Prognosticator]

Bless your kindness. I hate to bother people not into that!

But yeah, I've had a MAD craving for the Beast Wars DVD box sets for years!

They were just always so expensive that I would continue to let them slip down the buy-ority list. :(

[Syn (Mercenary)]

I got em. ;) They rock.

[Jack_Sparrow789]

Soooooo.... :whatever: anyone have a list of the wave 2 and wave 3 toys coming out? If there's a link, can someone provide me with it?

[Syn (Mercenary)]

222

[Colossal Spoons]

When the heck did they release 08 BB by himself? And how much would he cost?

[Syn (Mercenary)]

He is supposidly out now, though I can never find him! :cmad:

But he is same as other deluxes. 9.99 give or take a few bucks depending on the store.

[Colossal Spoons]

I'll probably Ebay him :(

[Syn (Mercenary)]

Rip off. 30 bucks down the toilet.

[Colossal Spoons]

Eh, it's more a piece of my childhood
