BINGO!!!! Score 2 smokescreens this morning!!! Houston, TX at the Westheimer/wilcrest Target store. They were only two of them, and my roomate that was with me, snatched one of them. I was going to buy the two of them, in case any of you MWers wanted one, oh well.
Here is my review:
Details:95%
Quality: 95%
Dieacast content:0%
Entertainment value: 100%
Easy transformation:25%
I think the rear doors "fitting" should be a little more flush with the frame of the car. Overall, I like it a lot, it is like a dream come true, and for the price, even though I like diecast content,I really don't mind having the no diecast version. It's kinda' like a 1/48
I've got the Takara 20th Optimus, and I love how brutaly heavy it is. I also like how the transformation takes place. I think for a $20.00 toy, Smokescreen is the best that can ever happen to any Transformers collector. Myself, I now "only" collect Macross, and that's why I'm getting the american versions of the Alternators. If Takara makes a Megatron or a Starscream, I may also get those imported from Japan. I don't really think TRU will sell a new kick@$$ reallistic version of a gun that transforms. Or probably they would paint the barrel in red color?
Bottom line, I'm satisfied!

Now, have anybody seen Sideswipe?
