    Silverbolt is the only Ultra I'm serious interested in. He's a favorite character of mine and I'm prefering the American version over the Henkei one. I've seen Powerglide and Onslaught in my area and passed on both so far (will get the Henkei versions if I decide I want them since those look better), so hopefully my favorite Aerialbot will show up soon too.

    For Crying out loud! I have yet to see the other two to decide if I want them. Ultra toys are pricey and Id like to buy one at a time but gesh, they don't stay around long enough. I may end up being a deluxe guy for universe. They seem to be the best ones anyhow.

    Yeah, I handled Silverbolt at Transformerscon in June. He is the weak link of the line so far, with his legends class level transformation and deadweight blockyness...I'll try to pass until clearance...

    If you must cut out a pricepoint in the Universe line, cut Voyager. There won't be a new mold until 2009, unless Inferno sneaks in before Christmas.

    My god, it's an avalanche of TF goodness. I am almost afraid of going to stores for fear of finding toys I want and force me to cough up the dough. Sigh.

    I am having such a dilemma cuz while I want the ultra I can't seem to justify it to myself especially since I wasn't such a huge fan of the characters back then.

    Ok, so three people in this thread alone have brought him, can we please have a verdict, the sharkticons are looking hungry.

    Cool or boring?

    I just got back from Target (after reading this, and we had other things to get) and I came back with Silverbolt and Blades. They must have just put them out, because they had 2 Silverbolts, 2 Powerglides, and 1 Blaster, 1 Dropshot, 1 Blades, and 1 Heavy Load. Blades & Silverbolt were the only ones I couldn't order through HTS when I got Nemesis Prime, so I nabbed 'em. Haven't opened them yet though..
