Good find! I hope that the scouts will get a good distribution eventually . . . .

As for Universe Sharkticon, I recently took the fin cannons off of his arms and how he has removable guns! He's a REALLY cool toy IMO

No problem, buddy I've not really posted much about it in Radicons, but the rundown is pretty simple:

First, if you're careful enough, you can do this mod pretty easily. I had a 50% success rate here, as I was able to fully remove one "gun" without any modification whatsoever. A 100% success rate is certainly feasible, but just be prepared for some modification if necessary.

All you have to do is take that the cannon underneath the forearm, and simply twist it out. This can be harder that it looks because the only thing holding that "gun" in is superglue. I'd assume you could heat it or something for a higher probable success rate, but like I said: I was fine with at least one gun. All you have to is simply twist it out like it's just a stubborn accessory plugged in there (because, by essence, that's all we're shooting for with the result!). Just twist it, but just be patient and steadily forceful with the removal. If you just take your time and do it right, you might be able to have 50% more success than I

If you do this and the gun breaks off from the tab for whatever reason, don't sweat! You can still punch out the tab as well then superglue it back on. The 50% failure I had? This happened to me with one gun. the gun is already off, and I just took some tools, punched out the remainder of the tab from the forearm, and simply reglued the tab to the gun.

Now both cannons (one untouched, one repaired) are able to be held as handguns, as well as still being able to be plugged into the sockets for the same look in alt mode, as this modification has NO affect with the transformation whatsoever. In fact, after this mod, you can plug in many different launchers in that hole, as it's essentially a roughly the standard size peg hole for many other TF weapons

I didn't see much new over the holiday weekend. Stoped by Target and Wal-Mart in Wilmington on my way to the beach. I didn't much new ROTF stuff there.

I got a question about TF Wal-Mart sell. Currently, WM has ROTF Deluxe for $9 and Voyagers for $17. Does anybody know how long this will go on?

I saw this too, but I'm unsure about how long it's for.

My advice would be to get whatever you want now and take advantage of the sale. Saving 2 to 3 dollars per toy adds up!!

Which one did you stop at? The one in Monkey Junction is packed to the brim with ROTF stuff.
the sale was supposed to end the 4th...so take advantage of it while you can!
