VF Strike Valk

Sell before Yamato decides to re-release it.

I guess I'm lucky...I got mine for 130 shipped.

They sell fast is because each store has like only 5 in stock.

Still got three hours left.

Lol...maybe I should put mine up on Ebay.

I still don't know if I like prowl, but I bought both BT versions for some reason.

"gotta catch 'em all!"

I wasn't too wild about Sideswipe but bought him anyway. I did the boot mod and like him a lot now. I'm trying to stop myself from buying Shockwave as already have a Meister but my will is eroding..

In car mode Shockwave is much cooler than Meister.

Shockwave is rockin the Mazdaspeed kit...Meister is bone stock.

FYI, folks, Cybertron toys have been spotted at the Simi Valley Walmart.

Scourge (at least 4)

Uber-Starscream (lots  X_x)

Vector Prime (top shelf by the model car kits)

Scattershot/Backpack

Mini-Con team (I think)

I forget the rest.  Sorry about that.  Anyway, happy hunting.

Also, no Alts there.

There is a Prime at the Target on Corbin...

I found Swerve at a small, ghetto Target in Austin, and must say, I'm pleasantly surprised.

Perhaps it's the color, but he just looks better then Tracks in bot mode. Maybe his head? It looks like it belongs on some sort of heavy weapons platform. I like the red plastic better than Windcharger, as well. It doesn't seem as thin and ready to break.

Whats the best store that you've been to for transformers in Austin? I'm looking for a Grimlock or Wheeljack.

Good luck on Wheeljack...I still see Grimlock around at the TRU's.

OH CRAP, does Robocop count?  Robocop, Robocop, Robocop!

Where Murphy battles Cain in the end...

I don't think I'd be able to take Prime or Jazz (or any other ones with more distinct voices) any other way, but the original.

I've sanded some of the peg holes on my Grim-jacks. It makes transformation a little easier. The main ones to get are the holes in the beam between the shoulders (these are what makes pulling the arms out, so damn hard) and the holes that the windshield pegs into.

Beyond that, it's just a matter of swinging the arms and doors around to keep them clear, while you're transforming it.

Thats why I'd rather go with the plastic Alternators...no paint chips and the colors match from panel to panel.

man, I must've ran into 20 swerves yesterday at target. no decepticharge though.

Which Targets did you go to? I went to the Simi and Moorpark ones and they had nothing. The Porter Toys R Us had some Grimlocks, Swindles and one Shockwave(the one I took back).

Just wait for the hype to die down. I was able to get every alternator at either Toy r Us or Target.

Saw the Cybertron stuff at Toys R us today...dam...Starscream is huge!

How common is Wheeljack around North America? I've recently found Shockblast, but not sign of the second Mustang.

No sign of Wheeljack in 'SoCal. I found a Shockblast once, but passed on him...Of course, I'm not a cherry-picker/scalper, so maybe those two have been all over the place and have been snatched up by everybody else...

I found a Wheeljack at a TRU in Porter Ranch. Got another Shockblast too. Went there to kill some time.

The reason why the prices are so high is because people are willing to pay these prices. These are sold as "collector" items, this way the high prices are justifiable. Honestly...there is no reason why they can't sell these for under 100 bucks. The raw material must cost only a few cents. I know there are other costs involved, but come on...

I paid 130 for my Hikaru 1S and 115 for my Max...I thought that was rediculous.

If people stopped buying...I bet the prices would come down real fast.

Wow...

bah, if it doesn't have the leg holster thingy then it's useless to me! Why can't they make a fully detailed one, with diecast metal in it, removeable helmet, and leg holster for his gun? Is that too much to ask for?

SOC?

I don't remember if anyone noticed this...but Shockwave has a bodykit...Jazz dosen't. Blast...makes me want Shockwave more now.

I've seen jack around my area. Nothing but empty shelves...

Where are you guys finding Shockwave and Wheeljack? I've been to all my local Target and Walmarts and all I'm finding is empty shelves.

I am still looking for Shockwave and Wheeljack.

Ditto.

Saw Wheeljack on Ebay.

Originally I was going to get some PSP goodies at Walmart for kicks cause I had nothing else to do. Instead I came across a Swindle and a Windcharger and dammit.....I caved!

Windcharger while having an attractive robot form at first, seems to have some flooping feet and tends to loose his balance, not too mention his HUGe football pad like shoulders kind of ruins it all....but he looks cool.

Nothing on Swindle yet JUST opened the box, but I paid 39.97 for them both.

Strange coincidence? I went to Toys R US and Walmart yesterday and the only two that were left was Swindle and Windcharger.

I saw Binaltechs at Puzzle Zoo in Santa Monica for 82 bucks...that's a rip.
