    Yeah, it looks really cool! I haven't opened it yet, but will get a chance here in about an hour. I didn't even know these things existed! Well that's not exactly true, for months now the TRU in Hagerstwon has had about 8-10 glow in the dark versions, but I thought that was some kind of "one off" weird RoboCop toy... Didn't know it was part of a series. But in Frederick they had that one, the opening leg one, a standard version and a cut up and beat to shit version (emulating the end of RC1, after battling ED-209 and being shot at by the police). They must have had about 5 of each version!

    But yeah, I am indeed a RoboCop fan. Always been one of my favorite movies (the first one is classic, the sequels... Meh). I'll never forget just how much it shocked me seeing it for the first time ever in 1987 (when I was 10) and I've been a fan ever since. I've always wanted a decent RoboCop figure and 25 years later I think I've finally got one!

    last night the target in warrington had one magnus, one thundertron, 3 vehicons, a kup, and a rumble.

    i went back today and only the thundertron was missing.

    at the TRU in willow grove there were 3 or 4 (i forget) dreadwings.

    2 voyager Primes
    6 deluxe BB
    1 legion BB
    1 commander Starscream
    4 FoC Primes

    Hagerstown MD Wal-Mart has a decent supply of Voyagers Thundertron and Dreadwing (no Magnus), as well as the usual Prime, Starscream and Bulkhead. The only Deluxe figs were 2 FOC Primes... but for some reason they had no less than 10 pegs FULL of CV's and CVC's! I didn't really rifle through, but on the fronts of the pegs were a lot of the newest ones, so I'm assuming they had just about any CV/CVC anyone may be looking for.

    Shame, considering it's the only Bumblebee I am semi-interested in having...but not enough to pay out the nose for.

    Yeah, seriously, fill us in here! Are we talking Premium series? Has this been spotted at any other Ollies? I was just in the Hazleton one the other night, and they had barely anything TF related.

    Yeah, I'm calling BS, or at least a typo. I'd be surprised at this point to see ROTF toys at Ollie's for crimeny sake, let alone TF07 toys.

    And I agree about BB. As much as I'm tired of seeing him, now that I've jumped full force into the Prime line I really want an FE Bee now. The $16 I spent on RiD Bee is money I want back... Badly!

    Agreed. I thought it was a miracle when the HftD and RtS stuff was spotted there a couple months ago.

    I don't even collect Prime really. I have Terrorcon CJ, just because he's a zombie fucking Transformer, and I like his alt mode. And I have Vehicon, just...well, I have no idea why. He looks cool, and the lack of kibble is kind of awesome. But there's something about the proportions of FE Bee that just look really cool.

    He's kind of a stiff, though. Very fiddly transformation and not a lot of posability in bot mode (without untabbing the arms ). Loads better than the RiD, but with that head, it's not saying much.

    Im sorry they were in yellow packaging. I got a terradive and a tomahawk figure. I remember they had a hailstorm also. Sorry for the confusion.

    Chambersburg Target still has tons of Legions, most all commanders except Magnus, a few FoC Primes, Prime deluxes (including the same 2 Vehicons they've had for a week or so), a few voyagers and some older Bot Shots.

    Oh right on, no problem... good for you though for finding those figures! Tomahawk, Terradive and Hailstorm are 3 very cool figs. Some of the best from the movieverse IMHO. AND they've not been on big-box shelves since Christmas 2010/Janurary 2011, so good SCORE!

    Terradive is one mean son of a bitch of a toy. I love him. Never did pick up Hailstorm or Tomahawk though...
