    Sun Prairie Target had remnants of wave 3 FoC. Picked up one of the Starscreams. There were no Sideswipes or Kickback. Still had 2 Magnus, a Starscream, and an Air Raid left.

    S. 27th Toys R Us has exactly one Generations Soundwave, two each of Ultra Magnus and Sideswipe, and one Air Raid. That's really about it for that whole neighborhood as far as stores go.

    Bloody hell. I just got home and popped open that Starscream. Turns out his tail fin is MIA. Anybody else have this problem?

    Are you talking about that blue triangular piece that fits on top?

    That's the one. I went back and exchanged it for the other one they had and thankfully it wasn't missing anything.

    I wonder how long before we start seeing the new stuff.....wave 2 of the FOC figures lasted about a week at our local Walmart!

    I just can't wait for the re-sets to be done.Every store I walk in to looks like absolute ass.

    At least I don't have to worry about tracking down any of the Beast Hunters figures.Other than Smokescreen,I'm skipping this entire line.

    How is Soundwave? I'm planning on getting him, both sets of MP cassettes, TRU MP Optimus Prime, MP Lambor and Alert as well as MP Rodimus (2nd version) with my taxes. I need to find a few for better prices than what I see them for on eBay like TRU Optimus

    I'm thinking about 2-3 figures out of the Beast Hunters line. Most of the figures are crap in design and color. Smokescreen is definitely a must!

    I might take a flyer on Predaking, but this line doesn't do much for me.

    I never owned a G1 Soundwave in my life (yeah, I'm one of THOSE collectors :lol  :eek: ) but even though I'm aware of how the original transformed, this one is actually a bit tricky. Particularly with the legs. I went out with my buddy last night shortly after I got my BBTS box, so I wasn't able to get him transformed all the way yet. He definitely feels great in hand though. And Laserbeak is amazing :bowdown: 

    Oh and that's quite the MP order you're going to be getting soon :D

    Don't the new Star Wars and GI Joe toys have a street date of Feb 11? I'm guessing we'll see a reset shortly after that.

    I totally agree! I don't have MP SW, but man, watching his reviews on youtube, Condor is definitely worthy of 2 :bowdown:  :bowdown: !!!!!

    Yeah it's about time I get caught up on the MP figures as best I can, I would like the new mold of Starscream but can wait on getting him and Thundercracker for awhile. I had Soundwave when I was a kid and have the Hasbro re-issue with the chest that holds 2 cassettes. Some of the MP's I'm getting off eBay and probably getting the rest off BBTS like the MP cassettes since they aren't released til March, I don't like doing pre-orders off eBay.

    They need to do a new mold of Megatron to fit in with this new size class, one with stronger joints and plastic than the original.

    This weather has made the day hideous! One person through the doors all day. Yeesh.

    In other news, got MP Soundwave in the mail today and am chomping at the bit to get home. Also, preordered the Fans Toys MP Quake Wave today. He'll fit in great with the new MPs!

    Is anyone planning on getting the Planet X Genesis figure, The one that is pretty much War for Cybertron Omega Supreme when it comes out?
