    Neat, I guess, if a bit superfluous. I'd rather that they reissue new character redeco's, like Skywarp, Thundercracker, and Cliffjumper. That would go far in lowering the crazy aftermarket prices of those Legends figures.

    Thundercracker is coming to TRU this fall. I've already got RTS Screamer and EZ Thundercracker, so the only way I'd snag this Screamer is if they announce a Skywarp with null rays. Past that, I'll try to score EZ Skywarp at Slagacon.

    I need the remolded Prime and Starscream. Would pay or trade for the pair.

    ... huh.

    I don't... I guess I'll get Prowl if they havehim?

    I mean, I have Starscream, who already has his null-rays. I'm definitely getting Thundercracker anyway, since I love TC. Don't think I can justify another vanilla Prime, even though this is definitely better than the version I own (and love, by the way). Don't care about Trailbreaker (if they're making one), either.

    Was just at a Dollar General and didn't see it... =/

    Still.. not sure if I'd be interested in getting another prime just for the sword at 6$... possibly the Seeker mold just for the Null Rays... but even then... Got a few of these buggers at 2-3 bucks before so IDK....

    That's a pretty awkward way to pack weaponry. Granted, I'm not exactly a fan of having blades so close to the crotch.

    It's exactly the same way Motormouth/breath has his weapon packed.

    Has it been confirmed that we will be getting all four (previously) Asia exclusive Legends in the US? Motobreath, Thundercracker, Bluestreak & Hoist?

    Back on topic, I wonder if there is a way we can find out if the remolded figs are available without having to go store-to-store. Does anyone know if DG uses item numbers that can be quoted over the phone?

    I'm hoping for Commander sizes of certain ones if they do.

    Yes, TRU exclusives this autumn. Where that leaves the pack seen in the Wal*Mart catalogue I don't know.

    the SKU and UPC are the same on the remolded as the first releases, sadly all that would happen is we'd take our HHT and scan the shelf tag and be able to tell you if we have any legends in stock or not

    I found out there is a Dollar General 5 minutes from my office and I went over there during lunch. I found Starscream, Megatron and Bumblebee on a peg for $6 each. No optimus sadly.

    The Starscream did not include the null ray weapons that GDO Thundercraker comes with. His wings though do each have a painted decepticon symbol on them though instead of a rub sign like the RTS version.

    Bumblebee is light yellow with the movie type black stripes on the hood and a big autobot logo on one of his doors.

    Megatron is green with purple camo.

    Hey i'm new here but just swung by my local DG during my lunch break and found a lone Starscream. How can I tell if it's is this variant or not (no i'm not gonna scalp it, just don't know enough about TF yet to tell the difference)

    That don't have anything to do with what I said. Let me clarify.

    If Hasbro starts giving Legends-class figures the "Legion" makeover and giving them Cyberverse-style 3mm hand holes, I would want new molds of some of the older Legends as Commander-style figures in order to get a fuller Cyberverse experience from it. =D

    Thanks for the responses, guys! I didn't know about that Walmart Asia pack- hope that comes out here also! I guess I will have to just start doing the rounds visiting Dollar Generals again. I want that Op with sword!
