    I guess I may be the only one posting here, but whatever.

    The last TF toys sighted in Venezuela that I'm aware of are the Fast Action Battlers wave with Blackout, Megatron and Frenzy. These were sighted in several Toylandia toystores in Caracas during the last week.

    Also, several SWTF were sighted at the same stores: Republic Gunship, Darth Vader Jedi Fighter, Mace Windu Jedi Fighter, Saesee Tiin Jedi Fighter and The Emperor.

    These compliment the previous sightings from a couple of months ago of the movie line. The movie toys that have been released in Venezuela to my knowledge are:

    - Movie Legends: the 6 first ones (Ratchet, Jazz, Megatron, Optimus, Bumblebee and Barricade)
    - Movie FABs: wave 1 & 2
    - Real Gears: wave 1
    - Cyberslammers: wave 1
    - Deluxes: wave 2 and 3 I believe (Bonecrusher, Swindle, Dreadwing, Arcee, Brawl, '76 Bumblebee, Barricade, Jazz, Wreckage, Scorponok)
    - Voyagers: Megatron, Starscream, Blackout, Ratchet and Ironhide
    - Optimus Big Rig Blaster
    - Optimus Voice Changer helmet
    - Cyberstomping Prime and Bumblebee
    - Softimus Prime and Slumblebee
    - Robot Heroes: wave 1 & 2

    Hey Alvaro!!

    On the Sambil mall, in a store which I don't remember the name (is under the starway near Compumall), there are lots of Camaro Concept '08 Bumblebee!!

    And on another store, I saw some Voyager Optimus Prime.

    Hello All !

    Nice too see familiar faces here ;)  ! ... I've seen lots of Beast Machines DVD latetly (Blockbuster, Esperanto) with full season 1, it includes spanish/english/portuguese subtitle and voices, they are very simple but nice.

    I also got a suggestion,... if this thread is for Venezuelans i think we should speak in both languages, Spanish and English. =)

    ----------------------------------

    Hola a Todos !

    Es Bueno ver caras familiares por aqui ;) ! ... He estado viendo en estos ultimos días DVD de Beast Machine (Blockbuster, Esperanto) con la temporada 1, estos traen voces y subtítulos en español, ingles y portugues, son muy sencillos pero esta bien !.

    También tengo una sugerencia aqui.... si este tema es para Venezolanos, creo que deberiamos hablar en ambos idiomas, español e ingles =).

    I agree.

    I've seen those boxsets a lot lately ... if you ask my opinion about it: they brought too much. I don't see them selling that fast. :( 

    Didn't find Concept Camaro 'Bee yesterday, so I'm sad. But did find in the CCCT Mall in the chinese ministore on the Galeria in PB, Legends Starscream and Blackout. Official product with a chinese sticker on the card back ... but they were priced at $65 each (or $22 if we go with the black market exchange rate)

    They also had a black KO shoe convoy ... priced at $150 ($50 black market)

    --

    De acuerdo.

    Los he visto bastante ultimamente ... si me preguntas mi opinion, creo que trajeron de mas, no veo que se vendan. :( 

    No consegui el Concept Camaro 'Bee ayer, estoy triste. Pero consegui en la tiendita china en las Galerias de PB del CCCT a Legends Blackout y Starscream. Producto oficial con una calcomania en chino en la parte de atras del carton ... pero costaban Bs.130000 cada uno.

    Tambien tenian un KO del Convoy zapato, en color negro. Precio Bs.300000.

    X-Mas sightings:

    Last week I found in at least 2 stores (the one near the stairs in Sambil and Little People in CCCT), Robot Replicas figures. The ones I remember are Megatron, Bumblebee, Frenzy and Barricade.

    The price is not so good. They were priced at Bs.F 105 (in Sambil) and Bs.F 110 (in Little People). That's around $50.

    Considering these are the same price as deluxes in the U.S., and that you can find deluxes here for under Bs.F 70, I didn't buy a single one. I'll wait for January's sales. :)

    La semana pasada consegui en al menos dos tiendas (la que esta cerca de las escaleras en el Sambil y Little People en el CCCT), figuras de Robot Replicas. Recuerdo haber visto a Megatron, Bumblebee, Frenzy y Barricade.

    No estaban a buen precio. Costaban Bs.F 105 (en el Sambil) y Bs.F 110 (en Little People).

    Tomando en cuenta que en los EE.UU. estas figuras cuestan lo mismo que los deluxes, y que aqui se pueden conseguir deluxes por menos de Bs.F 70, no compre ninguna. Esperare a las ofertas de Enero.

    Animated and Premium

    Yesterday I found the first wave of Transformers Animated as well as the movie wave including the premiums here in Caracas.

    The sighting was on the K-Q-Re toy store in the Galerias Prados del Este Mall.

    The figures I saw were:

    Movie Deluxe: Salvage, Premium Jazz, Jungle Camo Bonecrusher, Stealth Bumblebee, Overcast and Camshaft. Price was: Bs.F 144 (US$ 67)

    Movie Voyager: Premium Ironhide, First Strike Optimus Prime (for those not in the know, this is the one colored like G1 Prime without flames) and Incinerator. Price was: Bs.F 288 (US$ 134)

    Movie Leader: Premium Optimus Prime and Premium Megatron. Price was: Bs.F 594 (US$ 276,25)

    Transformers Animated: everything from wave 1, that is Deluxe Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Lockdown and Prowl; Voyager Starscream, Megatron and Bulkhead; and the Battle Begins 2-pack. Price was: Bs.F 139 (US$ 65) for deluxes, Bs.F 288 for Voyager and the 2-pack.

    Don't know if the toys were imported directly by the store or by Faventoys (Hasbro's official partner here) since K-Q-Re usually uses a mix of both importing methods. If they were imported by Faventoys, they forgot to add their sticker to the package.

    FYI, Salvage is no longer in the store. :D 

    Also, while I was there, another customer got Premium Jazz ... while I was debating whether I wanted it or not. It was really shiny. :( 

    Also there were wave 1 figures from the Indiana Jones series. Now minus Sallah, who I also got.

    --

    Ayer encontre las primeras figuras de Transformers Animated y el grupo de figuras de la pelicula que incluye las versiones Premium aqui en Caracas.

    Las encontre en la jugueteria El K-Q-Re en el Centro Comercial Galerias Prados del Este.

    Las figuras que vi eran:

    Movie Deluxe: Salvage, Premium Jazz, Jungle Camo Bonecrusher, Stealth Bumblebee, Overcast y Camshaft. Precio: Bs.F 144

    Movie Voyager: Premium Ironhide, First Strike Optimus Prime (este es el Voyager Optimus en colores como G1 Optimus, es decir, sin las llamas) e Incinerator. Precio: Bs.F 288

    Movie Lider: Premium Optimus Prime y Premium Megatron. Precio: Bs.F 594

    Transformers Animated: estaban todas las figuras del wave 1, es decir Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Lockdown y Prowl en tamaño Deluxe; Starscream, Megatron y Bulkhead en tamaño Voyager; y la caja de "La Batalla Comienza" que incluye a Optimus Prime y Megatron mas el DVD. Precio: los Deluxe estaban en Bs.F 139, y los Voyager y "La Batalla Comienza" es Bs.F 288.

    Debido a que El K-Q-Re compra directamente en el norte pero tambien usa los canales de distribucion local, ignoro si los juguetes fueron traidos por la tienda o si fueron traidos por Faventoys (ojala que sea Faventoys para que los veamos en otras tiendas). Si son de Faventoys, me extraña que no tenian su calcomania.

    Me compre el Salvage. :D 

    Ademas, otro cliente se llevo el Premium Jazz ... mientras yo debatia en si lo queria o no. Se veia realmente brillante. :( 

    Tambien tenian figuras de la serie de Indiana Jones. Ahora excepto Sallah, que me lo compre.

    Yeah, but look at the prices! And I'm not sure this is a wide release yet.

    I spotted yesterday what I believe is the first sightings of ROTF toys here at retail.

    The sighting was on Tecniciencia at the Sambil Mall, and it included:

    - Powerbots Bumblebee and Megatron
    - Bumblebee mask
    - Wave 1 of Gravity Bots (Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, Starscream)
    - Wave 1 of Legends (Optimus Prime, Jetfire, Springer and Bumblebee)
    - Wave 1 of Scouts (Rollbar, Dead End, Knock Out and Dirt Boss)
    - Deluxes: Sideways, Rampage, Breakaway and Sideswipe.

    Also, there were some new Universe toys (Acid Storm, Ironhide, Sideswipe, Silverstreak) and Animated Activators (Dirge, Bandit Lockdown, Megatron and Grimlock) and the same Animated Voyagers and Role Playing items that are currently found in most stores here.

    Regarding prices, Legends were Bs.F 50 (around $25), Scouts were Bs.F 100 (around $50) and Deluxes were Bs.F 150 (around $75)
