    As of about 9 this morning there was still a FE Optimus and Bulkhead in the Killeen TRU, I took the other set. A few FE Deluxes too.

    Two PRiD Vehicons seen at the Temple Target.

    Oh hey, that was you. I went in to work at 10am and the whole case of FE voyagers were there. I took one each and about 10 minutes later, someone else took the other Bulkhead.

    Katy Mills and Westheimer sold their cases already. Sugarland's case is still pending.

    Unfortunately, no. It only displays the date on the computer at that location. I would assume tonight and stocked tomorrow. Usually when there's pending stuff, it arrives within a day or two.

    Picked up FE Bulkhead and Prime at the Mopac/183 TRU in Austin. Those were the only two I found.

    Ok good to know. They have them both in stock on BBTS for the same price. I'm wondering if I should avoid the hunt and just buy them online.

    For those that have purchased the FE voyager figures recently, how much better are they compared to their non-FE counterparts?

    I personally prefer FE Optimus over the RID version. I just wish his sword was hard plastic and not soft, but he looks much better than RID. I never had the RID Bulkhead so I can't compare those two.

    The FE versions are miles better than the PRiD counterparts....especially Bulkhead without that damn MechTech weapon.

    FE Prime is a lot better than RID. Or at least in robot mode he is. I keep my RID Prime in alt mode and painted in all the little details since it's more accurate than the FE's alt mode. I rarely transform the two.

    I like FE Bulkhead a lot more than RID, but the RID does have a few little things going for it. The shoulders and feet are more accurate to the animation model. And since apparently this second run of the FE's has a bunch of problems, everything on RID Bulkhead stays tabbed in better than my FE. Overall, the FE is better. It's on my shelf now while the RID is in a box.

    Skyquake has been spotted in the Philippines. Also, TFSource has his case assortment now showing a January arrival. So I'd call that the window for a US release.
