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

[Prognosticator]

Swindle??! A non-movie character?!

 

[Saved]

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

 

[Prognosticator]

Lucky you.

That's an expensive quest, my friend!

 

[Saved]

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.

 

[Saved]

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.

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.

 

[Saved]

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??

 

[Saved]

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.

 

[Saved]

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?

 

[Saved]

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

 

[Saved]

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

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!

 

[Saved]

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.

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.

 

[Saved]

Crap. All I need is leader Megatron.
