    cli

    So, I loved the look of the Activators, but I was wondering, could you transplant the Cliffy head to Deluxe BB, or is it way too small.

    My nephews have Starscream, but I did not know how close the BB deluxe was to the Cliffjumper.

    What the...

    You're kidding, right? They appeared on US shelves right now? Then how is it possible that I've seen them sold at retailers in Poland since March? Aren't we supposed to be TF Third World or something?

    These just came out? I thought they where already released already but I think that was in Canada. I want Dirge but I have the Bumblebee mold so I will not get Cliffjumper.

    Wow ... it seems Cliffjumper and Dirge have been spotted in so many countries, and yet here we haven't even gotten the first Activators wave. :( 

    Thankfully I ordered those, including Cliffy and Dirgy from BBTS.

    They were sighted a few times last December, but it was a very, very limited release in the states for some reason.

    Well, if those that found them in December didn't care to share with the community....it IS a first reported sighting.

    I just can't believe people are getting upset about this at all. It's been really clear to plenty of U.S. collectors that these figures have been non existent at retail here. I never saw anything about them being available anywhere but online or K-marts in Australia until I found them. I even went to a local U.S. K-mart to see if they were only available through that chain for some reason. No luck.

    the fact is that it has been reported, and even i know it is hard to find, but what makes me mad is the fact now lots of people are confused as when they were released....they were released in december and are just now hitting full saturation around the U.S.

    Where are these reports from December?

    You are mad that people will get confused about when they were released?

    Same in Tennessee, we've had them for months. I know it was reported because I followed a thread where a guy was talking about if we would ever get a cliffjumper w/o having to repaint Bumblebee.

    Numerous people stated that there was an Activators CJ.

    Just saying...
