    I was very intriged by this Megatron... until they revealed the Dreadwing repaint. :D 

    My original plan was to get the set of 4 and dispose of the Bumblebee. Now that the assortment is half unwanted, the value proposition isn't really there. But as others have pointed out, the pegs are mostly clogged with Jazz and Prime because, well, I'm sure Hasbro had a good reason for those case assortments. Maybe.

    Personally I think the goldbug repaint is a waste.. I know its a given! But still, I would have liked a Lockdown! Some spikes and a new head, have his weapon be hooked! Maybe we'll see him later...hopefully!

    I actually think this mold would have made a better Cliffjumper than Goldbug... (or Bumblebee for that matter)

    yeah, so far they're in the Uk, California, and Arizona. I met a fellow collector by chance in a Target, and he asked an employee about these; the guy said they should be restocking around the first week of august, so they should be popping up most places within about a week or two

    Found em in indiana :)  BUYER BEWARE ON THE MEGATRON!!!
    He's a great figure, but he has two triangular panels on the backs of his shoulders that are extremely prone to stressing!!! One was actually stressed right out of the package, i didn't notice and i broke it, the other was beginning to stress. i managed to exchange them, but be VERY careful with these panels!!!

    Found them in TRU today, but apparently those in Europe lack the comic.

    I just hope my area gets Springer and Blitzwing some time soon. I haven't checked very many of the stores near me yet, though, and I might resort to Amazon for them.

    I went and ordered them off HTS with the SDCC coupon code -- they are listed cheaper than Amazon (19.99) plus 10% off

    If I can find these easily I may pick up one or two, although I won't drive myself mad looking for them. :lol  That Bumblebee's really attracting my attention. :D

    $109.99 for Metroplex

    $7.20 for shipping

    = $117.19

    I had about a half dozen items already sitting in my pile of loot. After I paid for this, I hit the "send me my sh1t" button.
