    Alright, awsome. Sounds like a bitchin system :thumb . I wish the collectors in this area were that friendly, my bud actualy had people BRAG to him about scalping. We would try to setup a system like that here, but its realy only me and a friend that do real collecting. We try to hook each other up, but we're both usaly on the broke side.

    Nothing new out here in the last six weeks, and every other corner of the world gets showered in great stuff.

    Anyone at SDCC, please tell Hasbro's distribution representatives to go F%^K themselves.*

    Depends on your target store. If they have 2 runs (one aisle) of action figures, the 6" might be hanging. If your store has three runs, like my store, (one and half aisles), the 6" titaniums should have a shelf spot next to voyagers, bwx, and alternators. 3" titaniums will be hanging next to the starwars ones, but have ther own dpci.

    Dude?!?! You found these at the Blossom Hill TRU? I've been checking there pretty regularly and so has the network for the last 2 weeks and they had nothing but Cybertron stuff. Wow...guess I gots to go down here again now(I'm looking for some of the 3" crap Ark, Jazz, any Prime, but Primal). I really need to add you to the network, Seawing, look for a very special PM sometime next week with all the necessary instructions and congrats. on the find!

    Well, truth be told, I don't plan to open them until I get back from a TX trip (yes, more places to hunt!!) that I leave for on Friday. When I get back, I should have a ton more new things from BBTS and local friends, so I'm gonna have a TF-opening party and invite me, myself, and I. I'll get back to you then. Just looking at them, though, I have to say that Megs looks....not that great, shall we say? Prime looks sweet, though!

    I got my set tonight. I found it while unloading the truck at the TRU I work at (Riverhead N.Y.) There was only one box of four so there are two left here.

    I haven't opened Prime yet but Megatron is pretty dissapoint thus far.Very loose, can't stand, the parts fall off easy and I can't tell exactly which Megatron this is.

    I scored them yesterday at walmart here in TX. I am not very pleased. So don't be in a hurry to get them. First off getting them out of the boxes was a pain in the azz. Made me feel like this.:horse:  Open damn it, Open!!! I only got Megatron out and first off the joints SUCK. My 21 year old Devastator has better joints than this figure. The elbows especially. there is no tightness what so ever. They just flop around. The major problem is that the plastic is not sturdy enough to handle the 3 pounds of die cast metal. The upper arms do not lock when extended so they kind of hang there. I really like the figures do get me wrong. The metal kick some serious tail but the lack of tightness of the joints hurts this figure in a negative way. I would rank him from 1 to 5, 5 being the best I would say a 3. Well with this being the first wave of the figures they may have some issues but for the future figures to be released I can only pray that Hasbro reads our posts and does something about the joint issues with these great style of Transformers which is nice having a Transformer that is 75 percent metal. Makes it feel more like a real robot..

    We got some in Burlington Ia, but man Megatrons eblow joints suck bad the forearms hang there like they're broken.

    I was going to return him for another but as someone else said they had the same problem I guess I'll just deal with it.

    Prime was a little better tho not so much floppiness.

    I moved out of that area last week to Oklahoma where I only have a Walmart, and my luck with these "one store towns" has NOT been good.

    Yeah, it's usually pretty dry around here but this week alone I found the Titaniums (they also had all the3"),
    Primus w/Unicron head at the Burlington Walmart, and deluxe Unicron at the Mt. Pleasant Walmart. Now if I can just find alt Prime and Mirage I'll be set for a while.

    No offense to anybody, but i personally don't see this as news at all. Mainly because we already knew that they have been released. Anybody agree with me here?
