^ I indeed went and did this, and got Silverbolt. I also got Dropshot! Was very amazed to see it already - they had two of him, I got one, no Blades though.

8/7/2008 7:16:58 PM

i caved and got the venom transformer

i have no idea how to transform him though, the instructions suck

8/7/2008 8:50:08 PM

x-posting my pic of today's haul from TFW:



I like Dropshot a ton more than I thought I would. Silverbolt is extremely basic but the final step of his transformation made me squee like a schoolgirl.

8/7/2008 9:02:36 PM

i prefer laserbeak in guitar mode

so he can ROCK THE FUCK OUT

[Edited on August 7, 2008 at 9:06 PM. Reason : i still need to open nemesis, i totally forgot about him]

8/7/2008 9:06:22 PM

I can't believe Dropshot is out in the area.

8/7/2008 9:13:50 PM

I really couldn't either. It led me on a futile trip down 64 -> Tryon -> 70 through Garner to try and get Blades, but no dice.

8/7/2008 9:16:29 PM

I saw movie Inferno and movie Mudflap at TRU today. I passed on both. I may get them later.. not sure. Has anybody gotten either one of them?

8/9/2008 8:53:12 PM

I got both of 'em. I like "Movie" Mudflap better than Cybertron Mudflap - the colors work much better on that mold in yellow rather than the drab blue and brown. Inferno is either a "you'll love it" or "you'll wish you never bought it", like everything from Armada. I personally love the figure but its not for everyone. Very gimmicky.

8/10/2008 12:05:57 AM

I just can't get beyond the fact that his face is RIGHT THERE behind the windshield. I know he's not the first Transformer to have that quirk, but c'mon. If he had a tinted or colored windshield, I'd consider it.

8/10/2008 2:07:14 AM

I just went to North Hills Target. They had 2 Dropshots, 2 Blades, 4 Blasters, and 2 Heavy Loads. They had some animated jazzes, 1 soundwave, and some oil slicks.

I picked up Dropshot and the last animated soundwave.

8/10/2008 12:31:02 PM

I'm really irked that the upcoming Springer isn't a triple changer.

8/10/2008 5:23:33 PM

I found this custom Ravage on Ebay

CAN IT YOU TWIT!

I would get galvatron from HTS if I didn't think I had a better chance of seeing him in stores before mid-september

8/14/2008 12:53:25 PM

found a bunch of blasters and heavy loads

can't seem to find a silverbolt

8/14/2008 7:43:57 PM

Grabbed an Onslaught and a Blades today.

One Onslaught left at White Oak Crossing Target in Garner, go get him! Don't go to Apex, they were gone less than two hours after someone on TFW posted that they had 'em XD

8/16/2008 6:03:40 PM

I found a pic of Henkei version of Powerglide. He's all red. I think I may get that version instead of the Hasbro one.

8/17/2008 11:29:25 PM

2 Powerglides and 1 Onslaught at North Hills Target.

8/19/2008 10:14:23 AM

I'm going to TRU during lunch today and maybe target. I'll report what I find. Hopefully, Galvatron and/or Acid Storm will be around.

8/20/2008 10:58:50 AM

If you're looking for Silverbolt and Onslaught, you're in luck. 1 Onslaught at Crossroads Target and 3 Silverbolts at TRU. Found some Powerglides, Blasters, Heavyloads, usual deluxe and a ton of animated at both. Saw 1 Blades also at Target. I picked up Movie Inferno and Animated Prowl at TRU. No Galvatron nor Acid Storm in sight

[Edited on August 20, 2008 at 12:59 PM. Reason : NC is always slow in picking up new transformers]

8/20/2008 12:58:34 PM

North Raleigh Target had Blaster, Blades, and Onslaught last night.

8/20/2008 1:06:36 PM

any dropshot sightings?

8/20/2008 1:15:05 PM

i saw dropshot somewhere, but i forget where it was

i'm not a big fan of him, especially in this color scheme...the arm kibble in vehicle mode is like "HAY I'M A ROBOT"

8/20/2008 1:34:44 PM

You may want to check North Hills Target for Dropshot.

8/20/2008 6:21:56 PM

I was just looking on the tfw2005.com North Carolina transformer sightings board. Somebody saw Galvatron & Acid Storm in Asheville at TRU. Maybe they will get here soon.

8/21/2008 9:07:31 AM

I got one of each at the Cary TRU today.

There aren't any left though, someone bought up the two remaining Galvatrons and one remaining Acid Storm right after I got mine. I suspect had I not gotten mine when I did they would've been purchased by that guy as well, as he was having a convo with someone on his phone about ebay and I immediately assumed he was a scalper. I could be wrong though.

8/21/2008 6:03:32 PM

^oh fuck.

8/21/2008 8:29:06 PM

I ran out to TRU hoping their might be one of both lying somewhere. No luck.
I then went to Target.. nothing there. Then to that ghetto WalMart at Townridge on Glenwood.. nothing there. Then to Target across from Raleigh Grande.. nothing there.

8/21/2008 9:59:02 PM

I got Nemesis Prime in the mail yesterday. I'm a very happy boy now.

8/23/2008 9:11:08 AM

I saw 1 acid storm and 3 galvatrons at Brier Creek Kohls in raleigh. They were $12.99 each; so I passed on them for now. I asked if they had any kind of toy sale and they didn't really know. I'm going to wait til they show up at TRU or Target for a cheaper price.

8/24/2008 1:56:19 PM

I got my first news credit on the 2005 boards today

Too bad it was for a lame ass Anakin Skywalker fig. At least its better than the other Jedi Starfighter mold... I HATE that mold that they used for Mace Windu, Darth Vader, Anakin, Obi Wan twice...

8/30/2008 3:16:27 AM

^ How does that work?

I finally got Acid Storm and Galvatron. I found both of them at Brier Creek Wal Mart this morning. They had 1 animated Blitzwing if anyone is interested.

8/30/2008 12:34:37 PM

i wish that was a commercial figure

i haven't had any time lately to go looking for things, so i'm still missing a silverbolt and galvatron and blitzwing

i'm passing on acid storm i think

8/30/2008 2:34:21 PM

Still have yet to find Galvatron.

9/1/2008 12:06:15 AM

WalMart Exclusives Crankcase, Breakaway and Fracture are out in the US. They should be here at any time..


That's not mine. I got the pic off of Transformers World.

9/1/2008 7:04:07 PM

mold reuse hell

9/1/2008 7:29:04 PM

That's a better color scheme for Cyb. Hot Shot than the other repaints...I might get it.

I love the Mirage mold, so that might be in, too.

However, the Downshift mold should only appear in Cuda colors, meaning green or purple.

9/1/2008 7:39:54 PM

^ That Downshift repaint is actually way better than the Cybertron scheme. In 'bot mode, at least.

9/1/2008 9:23:51 PM

Behold Animated Shockwave

9/4/2008 12:17:01 PM

WalMart on New Hope Church Road has the new exclusives. They have a huge display set up in the middle of the aisle by the toys. On one side is the new exclusives plus some old ones(Breakaway, Crasher, Crankcase, Divebomb, Big Daddy, and Grindcore). On the other side is the battle action figures.
I picked up Grindcore and Breakaway. I missed out on Grindcore that last time the walmart exclusives were out. I'm glad he came out again. I'll get Crasher and Crankcase later on.

9/7/2008 1:02:30 PM

OMG. Devastator is going to be in the new movie?! Should be interesting to see how they pull that one off.

Too bad that McFly guy couldn't get a guitar even remotely like the one that Marty uses in either the opening scene (Erlewine Chiquita) or the dance scene (ES-335). The one in the pic is a scale replica of an Ace Frehley model.

has anyone seen swoop or sentinel out?

9/19/2008 1:36:18 PM

^^ Weird things:

- They can use the Tankor name for a Robot Heroes figure but not for the real transformer?
- A repaint of Classics Starscream means I'll own like eight of this mold, lol.
- Animated Blurr looks AWESOME. I love how the Animated line has a lot of cars with robot modes that don't look like a robot car.
