I had second thoughts on Blaster. I went back to Crossroad Target and got the last Blaster. Their was one Heavy Load left. All the deluxe classics are gone.
I stopped by TRU and they had no classics left.
I wish Onslaught would come out. I can't wait for him.

I came across an awesome custom of Punch/Counterpunch on Ebay.

My dumb completionist ass got Supreme Prime.

He sucks. Only really good as a shelf brick. Fisher-Price transformation personified. Head doesn't even have articulation. Arms only move in gimmicky ways, same with the waist.

Avoid. Probably the first Transformer I've ever pondered returning.

7/20/2008 9:15:37 PM

I just can't bring myself to buy repaints of molds from previous series like Energon, Armada, etc. Can't really explain why, I just wasn't into those particular Transformers at the time. However, repaints like Sideswipe and Bluestreak I will be all over on day 1.

Speaking of those two, what's next for Universe/Classics 2.0 aside from Galvatron?

Premium Prime continues to surprise me. I really like the transformation method. Kinda wish he had a little less kibble on the back, but it's still not that bad.

7/20/2008 10:44:56 PM

As far as new molds go, not much. Aside from Galvatron, there's Ironhide:




And Silverbolt:



This is assuming you already know about Powerglide and Onslaught which will be hitting shelves any day now.

As far as other repaints, Powerglide will be repainted into Stormcloud, Cybertron Evac into Blades, Classics Jetfire into Treadbolt, Cybertron Defense Scattorshot into Dropshot, and the one I'm looking forward to:

Acid Storm

7/20/2008 10:59:38 PM

Ah, forgot about Ironhide. Another must-have. Silverbolt without the rest of the Aerialbots just doesn't appeal to me so much.

7/20/2008 11:01:51 PM

Instantly improve your Octane classics figure! Move the shoulders!

7/21/2008 11:58:02 PM

are there plans to sell SDCC exclusives on hasbrotoyshop like they did last year?

7/22/2008 6:04:20 PM

Next monday at noon. In other words, try to get on around 1130 and then start F5-ing like a crack fiend about 1155.

7/22/2008 8:33:42 PM

what were the SDCC exclusives again? (and prices)

WAT

7/22/2008 8:51:57 PM

I would suspect Skywarp will be $25 (like Menasor in 07) and Nemesis Prime to be $30 or $35 (because they can.)

7/22/2008 9:56:51 PM

^^ Yeah, look at the shape of the exhaust, and then fold down the sides of the engine over the top of it. My exhaust has these teeny-tiny tabs on the underside which made me wonder what they were for. I also couldn't figure out why the engine intakes would fold down. It took me a minute to realize that both of those parts could be put together.

I was pretty off. Skywarp will be $20 and Nemesis $25. Much better than I was expecting.

7/22/2008 11:08:52 PM

nemesis prime will be mine

oh yes, it will be mine

7/23/2008 7:43:32 AM

Just reactivated my club membership. THEY'RE ACTUALLY RELEASING THEM!!! :girly squeee:

7/25/2008 10:53:20 PM

i can't for the life of me add this fucking nemesis prime to my cart

7/28/2008 11:59:47 AM

I finally got it in my cart. Now I've been waiting on the final place order screen for the past 15 minutes or so

7/28/2008 12:12:26 PM

It took me 30 minutes to get past the "place order" screen but after like 80 tries mine FINALLY just went through. YAY! Nemmy, Skywarp, and Blue CC on their way.

7/28/2008 12:23:36 PM

i had a dozen NPs in my cart at one point

i finally ordered 1 though

7/28/2008 4:28:56 PM

lolz, all that crap this afternoon and I get home from work and they're STILL in stock! looks like they got their quantities right for once, I'm amazed

7/28/2008 10:38:24 PM

still pleny of transformers exclusives, yet the $120 Hulk/Fin Fang Foom collection is sold out?

Don't people realize that's $15 per figure?

[Edited on July 28, 2008 at 11:55 PM. Reason : aaaaaaaaand NP is out of stock]

7/28/2008 11:26:51 PM

i'm glad i didn't know about that, i might have been tempted to get it

7/29/2008 7:46:51 AM

yay i found the snarl/jazz/soundwave/oil slick deluxes

7/29/2008 8:04:32 PM

I used to have that Snap Trap.

It was like my least favorite transformer.

7/29/2008 8:17:45 PM

^^ where at? please don't say target, they close soon XD

7/29/2008 8:37:54 PM

that new garner super walmart

there's at least one of each left, except for soundwave who might have been behind the others

[Edited on July 29, 2008 at 8:42 PM. Reason : anyone seen the universe ultras or voyagers or whatever they're called?]

7/29/2008 8:41:54 PM

they're mine

i call them

ahhhhh

7/29/2008 8:44:00 PM

^heh, yeah i don't think i'm gonna drive to garner, i'll wait for something closer to cary the way gas is. Only one of those figures I really want is Soundwave. Come to think of it, if the one in Garner has 'em, I bet Cary does. hmm...

Oh, and Universe voyagers were plentiful like... a week ago. Probably sold out at most every Target now that had 'em. Ultras I haven't seen at all, but they are starting to pop up in other parts of the country.

[Edited on July 29, 2008 at 8:46 PM. Reason : ..]

7/29/2008 8:45:24 PM

gas prices i honestly don't care about

lolz

7/29/2008 8:47:44 PM

everything in garner was gone except a pair of oil slicks

7/30/2008 1:38:54 AM

soundwave has an interesting transformation

his head sucks though

7/30/2008 7:36:55 AM

awesome, found onslaught and powerglide today

onslaught rules hard, powerglide is still currently in the box

7/31/2008 1:48:28 PM

I looked for them in a total of one place today and no dice.

7/31/2008 10:16:03 PM

i got the last (only?) pair from crossroads target

8/1/2008 7:37:52 AM

^ Bastard <3

I went to like, at least 10 places today and ended up with nothing but Oil Slick, Jazz, and way less gas than I started with, d'oh

8/1/2008 7:10:05 PM

onslaught and powerglide are here now.. uguguguugugug
I must go find them.

8/2/2008 10:20:24 AM

it seems like the wheel and gun placement was an afterthought on powerglide (in alt mode)

he's still good though

8/2/2008 11:37:53 AM

I got the last Onslaught at the Super Target behind Triangle Gang Center.

8/2/2008 4:10:20 PM

haha, figures, i went to pretty much the entire southern portion of wake county yesterday before giving up. looks like I should've gone the other way

8/2/2008 5:46:47 PM

ha, it was already opened and a wheel had come off. I got the wheel back on though. It is the best classic figure I've seen yet.

I got some pics from ComicCon of upcoming figures

Animated

Longarm

Shockwave

Blurr

Swindle
Titanium

War within Prowl & War within Grimlock
Classics

Cheetor

Inferno

Hound w/ Ravage

Cyclonus with Nightstick

8/2/2008 8:34:03 PM

I went to the New Bern Ave. Wally at 4 AM yesterday on a whim, and they had at least three examples of all the new Animated Deluxes. I skipped Snarl/Slag because I wasn't really too hot on the look of either mode, but I got Jazz & Soundwave so I'm a happy boy.

8/3/2008 9:23:53 PM

happy nemesis prime day!

[Edited on August 4, 2008 at 7:05 PM. Reason : it says it was charged to gift card ]

8/4/2008 7:02:23 PM

Mine didn't show up, yet my blue Cobra Commander showed up Saturday...

8/4/2008 8:05:42 PM

I'm ordering nemesis prime tomorrow after I get paid.

8/4/2008 8:21:08 PM

Silverbolt has been spotted at a Target in Virginia and Georgia. He should get here soon

http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/universe-classics-20-29/universe-silverbolt-released-at-us-retail-165552/

8/6/2008 12:34:50 PM

i'm still on the shelf about him

i mean, i'm going to buy it duh, but i don't think i'll like it all that much

hell, he has an entire top half of a plane hanging off his back

8/7/2008 7:37:38 AM

I just went to Crossroads Target. Their was one Silverbolt and one Powerglide. I got Silverbolt. They had a bunch of animated Jazzes and Soundwaves.

8/7/2008 12:31:08 PM

YOURE LUCKY IM SKIPPING LUNCH

8/7/2008 12:49:41 PM

Huh. I saw Silverbolt and Powerglide at Target in Portland, Maine last week. I was on the fence about Powerglide, but I decided to pass.

[Edited on August 7, 2008 at 2:10 PM. Reason : typo!]

8/7/2008 2:10:25 PM

gah, that same Target had nothing at all yesterday. Guess I'll go check the one in Apex or something.
