    You and every other kid on the block?
    I'm buying the predaking set, but giving away the little robot to someone that wants it.

    I love the vehicle mode quite a bit, despite this figure isn't the best figure out there.

    Seeing many stores have problems getting anything past wave 4 I'm not too concerned about getting most of the POTP stuff I want. Prime Masters and Legends seem to be a problem in my area so I'll just have to get them online. Prediking may also present a problem for me with TRU closing, but maybe I'll get really lucky and they'll get him in when Transformers reach a low markdown.

    I was talking about all five Predacons combined into Predaking, not individual Predacons...

    Some people are actually finding the voyager and leader class on clearance at Walmarts.  Has anyone started seeing them on clearace in your areas?  Knowing Hasbro, you\'ll start seeing the last wave of PotP at Ross\'s, TJ Maxx\'s, and Marshall\'s soon.

    Elita 1 gets some company. Custom combiners are the best.

    Predaking is roughly the same size as devastator based on pics that have been shown

    My only complaint is Moonracer makes a gimpy limb when used with standard CW/POTP limbs

    The leaders were marked down to $30 at my two closest Walmarts. Their spot was removed from the toy section completely after that. Voyagers appear to still be there at regular price, but I haven’t seen any come back in stock in several weeks.

    Some early depictions of dragons were snakes with lion legs and bird like wings.

    Most every Walmart clearanced leaders. I’d guess 1/3 clearanced the voyagers. I’m thinking we’ll see studio leaders in the other leaders place. Voyagers might both share space once tlk disappears.

    Gives me hope for Inferno but not much for Primal.

    I am so glad I left early for work yesterday. I had time to stop at my local Target for a quick sneak peek. Waking up early paid off because I was able to find this guy...

    Snarl was always my childhood favorite Dinobot. This updated figure does not disappoint. And now I can finally do some group shots.

    “Me, Grimlock, say come at us, brah! You running away, you not get far.
    DINOBOTS TRANSFORM!!!!!”

    “Me, Grimlock, say when people gonna learn?”

    So cheesy I know but I can’t help myself. Just a couple days ago I complained about distribution and now I finally have a full set of these guys....and their little sister.
    I have never in my 40 years had a full set of Dinobots all from the same line. It’s a good feeling. These have always been some of my favorite Transformers since Wheeljack and Ratchet created them. Either tomorrow night or later this week I’ll try out Volcanicus and finally put in my two cents worth. It has been cool to see so many other users pics, but it nice to get in on the fun yourself.

    Now as far as distribution I’m still not holding my breath. The only other Wave 2 figure they had was Moonracer which I would have got if I had the funds. 3 Dreadwinds were peg warming and Sludge, Ripper, and Darkwing were gone. I had checked my Target two days before yesterday and there was no Wave 2, so distribution is still very sparse and limited if they only put out one case at a time. But it’s nice to see signs of life. Keep searching everyone and keep hope alive!!!
