    Not sure if this has been mentioned before, but the new Weaponizers and the more new Kreo merchandise has hit Kmart stores around the Wisconsin area :D 

    -Kreo Barricade/Cliffjumper sets (Not pictured, but bought ^^")
    -Kreo Optimus/Megatron Fight for Energon set (not bought)
    -Kreo Stealth Bumblebee (already mentioned)
    -Kreo Battleship sets (non-TF news, but still)

    And of course, these two :)

    More Kreo stuff should be hitting Kmarts soon as we'll be getting our new toy stock in, so keep an eye out .

    $29.99 seems like a good price for Weaponizers

    Guess that pretty much confirms taht Weaponizers are more like Ultras than anything really.

    I am still not sure on these weaponizers. I saw a review a while ago of the Optimus and I just hated how the whole figure was built around the gimick in a way it seems to hurt the figure. With these coming out hopefully I can find a couple more reviews and get a better look at it from different angles. The Bumblebee, not sure of at all just for the sheer fact it is another Bumblebee.

    I'll bet this stuff will be up with Target's reset on 7/29, but since we don't know the DCPI theyre all in the back waiting for the reset

    Just a slight update

    Opened up Bumblebee and....his backpack is horrible.

    Well, it was bad to begin with, but it's held to the main body by a tiny little slot and tab set up that doesn't hold very well. So it falls off all the time.

    Not a toy I'd recommend to many, and I may end up returning him. But Optimus looks like it'd be a major improvement over this one.

    Actually $30 is probably the highest anyone should pay for them.

    Smart Move.

    Most of my local K-marts still have figures from the first and only case they ordered, I guess not too many people shop there. It seems like they only restock maybe twice during the year until Christmas season

    As much as I like Prime, these will be a pass for me.

    Can't wait for that rare time months from now when it's all on clearance during a 50% off sale :lol 

    And I agree with Daimao, all my local K-Marts order figures maybe four times a year and then just sit on them for months. They clearance them, they run a sale on the clearance and clean out everything and start the cycle again.

    As usual, Optimus looks cool and Bee looks like shit. I can deal with movieverse Bee, but Prime Bee doesn't interest me in the slightest.

    Just got my Prime this afternoon at a Kmart in Tampa, FL (Dale Mabry just north of 275).
    They also had Weaponizer Bumblebee and both new 3-packs of Bot-shots.

    Going to buy the Prime on sight! Then stare at the Bumblebee for a few weeks until I cave on him too.
