    Going to wait for a sale on leader bumblebee. noticed that the wave with ironhide has bumblebee packed with him and ironhide won't likely be out for a few months. I mean I'm interested in leader bee, but I can wait for a sale since no one else in the community seems stoked for it.

    Defintely want all the human alliance basics. Maybe I'll eventually get doubles to display as weapons. Its got a lot of polish as the kind of Transformers line I enjoy, with a new array of mecha style characters and design ideas that are small but packed with play value. Buy a few more for a NEST escort squad to protect the mainline Autobots on Missions.

    So the only leader I'm getting tomorrow is sentinel Prime.
    One of each deluxe. Hopefully wave 1 and 2. (10 deluxes?!)

    Voyager Ironhide and Megatron.

    The four cyberverse bases, cyberverse commander megatron, legion topspin, legion bumblebee, legion crankcase, legion sideswipe, legion leadfoot, legion crowbar, legion ratchet.

    I think it mostly comes down to if wave 2 or 3 does pop into my store tomorrow. Because while I am interested in wave 2 human alliance roadbuster. I doubt It will be there tomorrow.

    June 23rd walmart is supposed to add the nascar repaints and the deluxe Optimus Prime to their features.
    Targets spacecase sets are'nt due until july 17th, but with some codes we could get them out of stockrooms a few weeks earlier than that.

    This is just one step down the road. pace yourselves. I've also got some masterpieces on preorder.

    Also my take on Ultimate Armor Prime. Its not out yet. But bbts says its 4.2 pounds. Which is a lot of toy. masterpiece rodimus is 4.41 pounds. So for $90 your really getting a your weight in toy at least. Its weakness is the regular Optimus mode and fans who could care less about electonics. I'm sure something good can be done with posing the wings, but right now has tak is just showing how much they expand. So long as I just go with it in ultimate robot or Trailer truck mode It should display well.

    The packageing is a lot weaker this round. Only going to keep a few things MISB. Even if you like the look of these cards. feel the plastic and and cardboard packing materials. They are much cheaper than they used to be.

    I don't blame hasbro for cutting corners on the packageing if it helps keep the price low. Also makes the cardboard more biodegradable without the laminate coat.

    Edit: Sweet Toys R US run! Got three Free preview Optimus Primes on the promotion!

    Even though I have no desire for the movie toys, Stune made the Voyager Megs look pretty tempting.

    Walmart wasnt really ready for people to shop the new transformers/captain america/cars. Had to wait for them to send people to stock.

    I like the legends and cyberverse. Glad to get the wal-mart exclusive.

    Prime looks great, so does shockwave. Wanted roadbuster and topspin so i had a chance to get two of each (usually do this when im opening one).

    Sigh, I want my Optimus Prime with trailer :( . Guess I'll have to settle for the cyberverse playset version.

    I'm going to look while I'm grocery shopping after work and will try to pick up some of the Cyberverse Command series figures, specifically Ironhide and Blackout....but other than that, I'm not too enthused about buying anything.

    My boyfriend found voyager Ironhide for me and picked me up a the Cyberverse Bee and Starscream sets over the weekend.

    I've got no interest in the deluxes or any other voyagers. I'll eventually want to get leader Bee, but I'm not in a hurry for it because he'll be so easy to get. And I'll eventually get the HA main line figures, but I'm not in a hurry for them either - mainly because of the lack of new characters.

    "Not in a hurry" sums up my feelings on everything pretty well. I actually at one time had planned to take this day off, but I ended up switching it another day I wanted off more, and I'm glad I did.

    I already picked up HA Basics Sandstorm & Backfire last Friday, so it looks like just Sentinel Prime for me. After that I'm in a holding pattern until Leader Ironhide makes an appearance.

    I took one look at them and laughed at the over priced Cyberverse Commanders shrunk Legions that cost more than the Legends sitting next to them on the shelf and the tiny Aquaspeeder sized Bumblebee and laughed and walked away with nothing.

    Half price sale fodder me thinks.

    How much are two sized cyberverse? Essentially all theyve done was taken "legends" called them cyberverse, kept the regular ones the same size and made slightly bigger ones for characters like optimus and megatron right?

    walmart has the voyagers for 17.88, think the leaders are 40-42, can't remember exactly off hand. sparkle prime 2 pack is also 17.88 which is a really good price if you never picked up voyager prime. few walmarts out here put them out early last week so I was able to get leader sentinel & voyager megs, shockwave & skyhammer already.

    gonna go back today after work and see if anything else looks interesting. I'll probably get a powerglide if they have him.
