/\ I don't know why, but I just had a vision of that Bay commercial when he kept saying "awesome". Just replace the opening thing to one of Peaghhs video reviews of Vehicon and Bay responds: "Genius!"

I agree completely. While I want three Vehicons, I have found one and I'm currently waiting on getting another until I know a friend of mine has his. If I find a second one before he finds his first, I'll pick it up for him. Once he gets at least one, then I'll look into getting my other two.

I will say, I typically only get one of each mold, but once I got this guy in hand, that was one rule I knew I was going to break.

Yea, I have two locals on my list to help out as well if they don't find them before I find another.

Though I am not into the Prime cartoon, or some of the figures all that much, this figure is pretty damn amazing. Well worth the frustration and wait. Still hoping my 1st edition comes through, and cant wait to get the wingy ones as well.

The way I've done it is 1 FE Vehicon, 1 PRiDE Vehicon, and I'll probably get an airborne one when they come out too.
I just remember how frustrating it was to see all those Sweep armies when the Generations Scourge I'd been waiting years for finally came out, and I couldn't find a single one for weeks. I just can't bring myself to be that much of a d**k, especially not when PRiDE Vehicon is such an amazingly engineered TF.

He's such a solid figure. Easily one of the best army builders Hasbro has put out in a long time.

Finally found this guy. I haven't been this surprised by a deluxe since Animated Rodimus' disappearing wheels. Very clever figure and top-drawer toy design.

The child yelled and asked for it back but was utterly ignored and went back to his mother crying because the toy he found of his favorite robot was taken from him by a greedy man.

I was stunned by what this guy had just done as he pushed past people and ran to the front of the store to a register.

Is this seriously how important it is to army build the Vehicon?

Wow what a dick.. I hope they broke on him. Even if there was one vehicon and a kid asked me if he could buy it I'd give it to him (mostly because its more for them then us) also because I dont like seeing little kids cry because of some greedy bastard that is so worried about troop building and knowing that they are short packed. I only have one and thats good enough for me.

Its not worth seeing a little kid cry just because you want multiple copies of a rare toy. People like that just make me sick to my stomach..
