Toys R Us is LOADED with Transformers stuff today, I thought they were leaks but my wife reminded me that, you know...it's the second. They didn't have a Star Scream or Iron Hide though, found those at Wal-Mart.

Wal-Mart is only about 3 cents cheaper then everywhere else, I got my Leader Prime for 39.99 at TRU, it was 39.67 at WM. I will say that Iron Hide is my favorite looking Transformer outside of Prime, he will be mine soon.

WM Transformers "Buddies" were more exspensive then TRU, WM had them for 5.88, TRU had them for 4.99. WM also had a Bumble Bee vs Barricade "First Encounter" two pack, I think it may be an exclusive...not sure, either way I really liked the look of ALL the figures.

Only got Leader Prime today, but I'm excited to get more.

Knocked Up is a pretty darn good flick, btw.

I saw the newer Transformers...the only one that caught my eye was the leader Prime but I'm not enjoying the price tag. Nothing really was too big of a deal to me. If they ever have a good deal on Prime, I may pick him up, but otherwise...bleh.

 

[Benstamania]

Meh, 40 bones isn't anything new...more so for Transformers collecting. You always get what you pay for. I love Leader Prime, he's the CGI model to a T, I don't think I could have asked for more with a figure.


Well, I wish his eyes lit up blue rather then white...but that's a tiny, worthless nitpick.

 

[Saint553]

Does he have a little lever on his chest that you pull down and it talks or lights up or anything?

 

[Benstamania]

Yeah, it also starts "transformation mode."

Check out Ben's review of him here, I pretty much agree with everything he says.

Only new movie TF figs I've seen are the $10 movie Bumblebee and Jazz. Other than that its just a ton of those movie Cybertron preview Optimus and Starscream figs. They all look pretty cool though. I'll give them that.

 

[Benstamania]

I really, reeeeally want Iron Hide, LOVE the look of him. I wish a Megatron figure would have launched alongside the Optimus but apparently he won't release until late June.

The Bumblebee Unleashed is extremely cool, I'll be picking it up along side Iron Hide.

 

[FEAR THE BAT]

The look of most of the TFs in the movie look amazing. When i took my kids to see Shrek the Third I was pleasantly surprised to see the newest trailer. My boy and i were pretty speechless. Visually its gonna be badass, I just Ihope the plot can match.

 

[Benstamania]

I expect the plot to be "out there" and I'm sure it will tick science and computer geeks off...but I use a little something called "suspension of disbelief" when I watch block busters like this.

Helps me stay away from nitpicks.

Exactly. I mean, seriously, there's anough movies made off of comics or cartoons that have been completely turned upsdie down and inside out to expect it to come exactly to the source. Its time everyone just took the movies in stride. If the plot sucks, it sucks. Deal with it. Aslong as its relatively close I'd say thats as good as it gets with the Hollywood touch.

 

[Saint553]

I'm not a fan of how megatron looks...but otherwise, I think everything looks solid, albeit it's hard sometimes for me to see the "humanoid" form on each. Just gotta wait for the movie.

 

[Benstamania]

Can't be any worse then some Autobots auditioning for "stunt drivers" like in the cartoon.

If it's like the comics + a hint of cartoon + Bay action + Spielberg magical touch....I think it'll rock. Transformers already HAS two good things going for it, cars and giant robots.

but no naked chicks.

I honestly wasn't a fan of Megs looks at first, then it started to grow on me. Looks like Beast Wars Megs mixed with a bit of classic Megs. He just looks big and nasty, quite the opposite of Optimus Prime.

but no naked chicks.

So you are a fan of 300, I see.

 

[Speedball]

I got myself a Jazz figure today at Wal-mart, It's a pretty damn cool little figure.

 

[Benstamania]

Jazz is also on my "to get list.".....Who am I kidding? They're ALL on my "to get list."

 

[Speedball]

I wanted to get Starscream, but I found a Quinlan Vos Comic pack, the one thing I've really been looking for lately, so I settled on Jazz.
They also had a two pack of Bumblebee and Barricade for $17.00, which is cheaper than getting them separately.

 

[Benstamania]

Did you see that two pack at WM? I seen it there and only there, which leads me to think it's a WM exclusive. That two pack would be the best way to get BB and Barricade because, like you said, it's about 3 bucks cheaper then buying them separately.

 

[FEAR THE BAT]

I think Wal-Mart, Target and TRU all have seperate exclusive 2-packs.

 

[Benstamania]

Reeeeally? I seen zero two packs at TRU...but I'll keep that in mind. Could be a cheaper way of getting "basic" figures. I know Target has a stupid "Voyager Prime" repaint in off colors as their exclusive.

Why anyone would choose any Voyager Prime over Leader is beyond me.
