Checked out one of the two Rogers AR Wal-Mart's today, left with Prowl, Lockdown, and Bumblebee.
Undecided on Bumblebee, mildly impressed with Lockdown, and VERY impressed with Prowl. I didn't think I'd like this one after seeing the images on the intarweb, but seeing it "person" changed my opinion completely.
Almost picked up a Bulkhead, kicked around the idea of Grimlock.
Really wanted to take home that Lugnut I found at the back of the shelf, until I saw it was still pastel-colored...I thought they were fixing that? If the non-Easter version makes its way over here, I'll pick it up without a doubt....but not this version.

I wouldn't be surprised to see him showing up in the States a lot sooner than August.

Got Starscream, excellent toy.
Got bulkhead, pretty awesome I must say.
Got Lockdown, which I like his design, but his leg keeps falling off. The hip ball/socket is doesn't snap tight. Also he has no knee joints.
I was about to get bumble-bee, but the quality of the toy looked just bad. Don't think I'm gonna get.
I was about to buy a grimlock, but I saw this kid in the aisle holding a large batman toy, so I kicked the box out of his hands using a karate kick, then his dad started chasing me, and I dropped the grimlock, and I was too afraid to go back and get it. Oh well.

Hit Wal-Mart, picked up Autobot Swiss Army Knife Ratchet and much more fragile than he looks but was hidden with Cybertronian mode Prime behind a bunch of movie figures Lockdown.
How fragile is he? Just call him "Lefty" now...... Although I mainly got him for his vehicle mode. His robot mode hasn't impressed me much. It seems too.... I dunno.... Odd. Although his gun will fit in the socket on Ratchet's arm. It won't lock in, but it will fit.
I'm liking Ratchet, though. Definately gonna have to get another one to kitbash into Ironhide.

yeah- i sold my friend my ratchet- i got a little over eager in my purchasing- and with the money i bought that crappy BB (just because he looks like my car, or he will with a butload of silver paint) ... and this line was looking so amazing till then...
but i got voyager bulkhead- starscream, the battle begins pack (which i am about o return, i need the money for a concert that got moved up- besides i plan on getting the voyagers of megs and prime anyhow, and megs leader)and i need to get another lockdown- he's a solid figure until you damn near knock your shelves over and he gets to be at the bottom of almost 150 transformers and he loses a hand (i glued it back on- but i would like him unmarred)... don't drink and collect folks...
still waiting on grimmers, oilslick, soundwave, lugnut, and blitzwing...and leader megs and any other decepticons that get made...
*as a side note- whats the the deal with no fists- my bots can't rumble with karate all the time! i would love to see a return to the fists from the unicron trilogy, and everyone should have a gun!

Finally found something other than the two-pack here in Ohio. Found Deluxe Bumblebee, Prime, Lockdown, Prowl, Ratchet, and Blackarachnia and Voyager Megatron, Bulkhead, and Starscream at TRU. Wonder where Lugnut and Grimlock are...
I was only able to pick up Lockdown. The review claiming that there are no ankle joints is misleading, and I'm happy about that, as little as they may actually help with posing...that is to say, I haven't found out yet, because I've been frustrated by the ridiculously loose connection of the right hip. I tried the old nail polish trick but I probably didn't do it right, that or this is just far too severe a case for nail polish to work, and it might be; the right leg hardly even likes to stay attached to the body. If I can get the hip to do anything except fall right off at the slightest movement, I'll be pretty happy with the figure.

Try crazy glue. It seems to work, just don't glue the joint with it still attached.Gareth_Infinity wrote:Finally found something other than the two-pack here in Ohio.

Got a complaint?

For those in the Massachusetts area, I spotted the Animated Series Toys in the Bellingham Walmart. From the looks of it, half the selection was already gone.
