    So then, is there an item number to check TRU for these? They should be separate from the main PRID deluxes shouldn't they?

    Son of a.......

    Kiss Skyquake goodbye. With the final wave of PRID in Ross and Beast Hunters showing up in Toys R Us. I think that's the nail in the coffin for Skyquake showing up in the USA.

    Skyquake was apparently spotted in the US today, according to people on twitter. Wasn't reported here that I saw, but maybe at one of the other TF sites.

    It was seibertron who reported it. A Comic shop in Texas had it. Some sellers had it in Cali on ebay for $40 that sold out earlier today.

    I hope I can grab one so I can cancel my pre orders at BBTS.

    Here too. I hit 8 stores today, in 2 cities. Spotted a couple FoC Brut figs and a couple botshots. Other than that every last TF toy was gone.

    Hmmm... a comic shop isn't the same as Wal-mart or Target getting it. THey could have obtained one from overseas to sell in their store.

    Oh Bot Shots, why must you be so hard to resist? Must stay away, must stay away, must stay away...
    For the love of god, Kreons, go make some Stunticons of your own. I don't need to be tumbling down 2 slipper slopes.
    Brake-Neck and Breakdown. Hmm, rather redundant.

    Thankfully, Beast Hunters is an easy pass. And where's the rest of Laserback's bio? EDIT: On the instructions. Weird.

    Are any of these BotShots new molds or at least retools, or are they all repaints with mixed parts from various figures?

    So torn.

    On the one hand I LOVE that they did an Autobot Polar Team, on the other hand I really dislike that it's all repaints of the usual suspects. A New Character Polar Team would have been a must buy dream come true, even as Bots Shots. ;p

    Also I still really dislike the name Motorbreath for the character. And Break-Neck isn't very good either on a team that includes Breakdown already.

    And to complain about a third thing, the Bio on Laserback is depressingly brief and Generic.

    *EDIT- Just saw the instruction bio/story. That's pretty awesome. I completely retract complaint #3 and add an applaud instead. :) 


    -ZacWilliam, but WOOO I want to find me some Predacons in store!
