    If you read what he said, it's that there are some out there without the mouth plate. Look on the back of the box, near the bottom. There should be an embossed 5 digit number that is the date code. If it has a number greater than the one that Jon mentioned, it should have the full face plate.

    Actually, E Prime is the only Wave 1 or 1.5 toy withOUT the date code on the box. It is actually on the toy itself, between the back set of wheels on the basic robot. There is no way to discern the two while still in package, which is unfortunate.

    Would have been nice if Hasbro put a sticker on it.

    Energon Jetfire & Unicron

    There were 2 Energon Jetfires left at the Plainfield Target at 3pm. Also, there is one Energon Unicron (new colors) left at the Meijer on SR67 south of Indy, as of 5:30pm.

    The Kendallville Wal-Mart got the rest of the current Energon and Alternators in tonight: one case of Basics, one case of wave 1.5 Ultras, and a case of Smokescreen. Interesting note -- the Alternators shipping case says "Transformers Real Car Asst."

    (This isn't really a sighting, but I didn't want to start a new thread for it.) 20th Anniversary Prime has officially downloaded into the Wal-Mart computer at a price of $63.62, which I believe is the lowest retail price we've seen so far.

    Hey All,
    Greetings from Chicago. I was in Bloomington IN for IU's Horrible game against Temple. Afterwards I stopped off at the B-town Walmart and saw 2 Energon Unicrons, plus a couple other energon figures (place was pretty sparce, and well picked over). I paid $50+ for my Armada Uni., Only to watch them tumble in price due to over stocking. I left the E. Unicrons there, in hopes i can find him on sale later.

    I found Energon Unicron in Armada Unicron colors at the Wal-Mart in Plainfield. None left now, though...

    I also found the Armada Unicron/Energon Unicron box combo at the Kendallville Wal-Mart last night. (One left, BTW.) This appears to be a legitimate running change on Hasbro's part because the shipping case was a different number (803200003 vs. the original 803200000). This might mean that the Energon-colored Unicron won't be around much longer, but we won't really know yet.

    Enercrons, Most of Energron really at the TRU in Lafayette. Plus a couple of Alternator smokescreens.

    Alt. "Side Swipe"

    New guy finally jumping on board here. The Walmart Supercenter in Greenwood had Alternator Sideswipe, too. They don't have any out at the moment (there was only 1 there when I stopped by), but it looks like they're hitting Indy-area shelves now anyway.

    Welcome aboard! We're all a friendly bunch, and help each other out whenever we can. Hunting, especially on the West side, can be fairly fruitful. When Wave 2 hits Most of Indy, we'll all (cleazer, Dilbetron, aksmth, glhboy, and any others I may be forgetting) get together for the hunt. Thanks for letting us know Side Swipe was on the south wide.

    Odds are very very very low that you will find a G1 reissue Prime or Ultra Magnus at TRU. They were the least run of all of the Reissues because it was the first wave, and an experiment.
