Really? I havn't seen a single one down here. So much for my theory of they start with loads in London and then just spread em out

Seen a few Legends Jetfire's in my all 3 local Sainsbury's, and Shrewsbury TRU, though can't remember seeing a Leader Jetfire while I was there yesterday.

Picked up ROTF Dunerunner and Depth Charge, they are 2 great little molds, plenty of articulation for their size

Got me Dead End, Ice Cream Truck twins and ROTF: the game.

They've a three-pack for the Universe Animated Legends, I see...

I found Jetfire on clearance, so I picked him up. I have not had time to fool with him yet, though.

Where and how much? Random clearance sales rock!

$35 at Walmart. Every Wally World I've been to in the last week (three) has had leaders on clearance for that. At least one of them had deluxes for $10 and voyagers for $20, but that's not really clearance in my mind since they only increased the price this year.

No clearance Devastator yet, though. I figure around $40 would be enticing.

Ahhh. Mine has those prices too. I was hoping like $20 leaders or so.
Give Devastator some time. At that price, there's guaranteed to be some serious clearance pricing before long. 'Specially since he takes up so much shelf space.

Got me ROTF Swerve, ROTF Arcee, Encore Cassettes, Universe Minicon ten-pack and Animated DVD seson 1 and 2.

Hopefully HA Ironhide and Lennox are in the pipe. Going by the pictures I've seen(and looking at HA Bumblebee in the package), if they do a HA Prime, it might be a modified Leader-class Prime figure, otherwise his robot mode might be bigger than Fort Max.

I wouldn't worry about size issues... Leader Prime is between 1/27 or 1/29 scale (based on the truck), which means that the Sam figure that comes with Bumblebee is pretty much in scale with him (1/28). HA Bumblebee is 1/26 (based on the car), so a Prime in this scale would be only very slightly larger than the existing Leader Class figure - such a small difference with what are not quite accurate figures that it wouldn't lead to any significant change in size on the toy (probably).

The trick would be making a Prime as good as the Leader Class figure that could take a human inside the cab in truck mode. I think Prime would lose out as an HA figure.

Now, I would be very excited by a HA Ironhide. But he'd need to be almost Leader Class in size to be in scale with the human figures! Would be a great chance to make him as squat and bulky as the CGI model though!

Hate to tell you this, but those are Rollbacks! They are on sale for the remainder of the year!

$10 Deluxes, $20 Voyagers, $35 Leaders. =D

Hmm, off to Wallyworld today, then...

Got Classic Transformers TPB volumes 3 & 4 at a comic book store in Spokane Valley mall.
Got G1 season 1 and season 2-1 DVD's at walmart.
Got Perceptor and Insecticons at ToysRus, WAIT no I didn't because they're not f*cking out yet.

Post by **Blackjack** » Wed Sep 23, 2009 10:39 am

Got me an EJECTOR!!!! Since the staff at the toy store mistakenly labelled Scouts class toys as deluxe, they practically forced me to buy another, so I rummaged the Scouts toys and found me a Nightbeat.

I got me Long Haul at last! After recommendations from all of you. Haven't opened him yet, but he looks awesome. If he isn't, heads will roll.

If you like industrial construction machinery, you'll love Long Haul (I do!).

As a TF, he's more traditional, but he delivers.

Not sure if I posted in here, but I picked up Long Haul a few weeks back.
