    Does anyone remember a Heinz ketchup bottle that transformed into a spaceship or something?? I remember seeing the commercial when I was a kid and DYING to get it. I think you needed a lot of proofs of purchase or something...
    Also, I was obsessed with getting Hot Rod when I was a kid, but fifteen years later I now have two: TM & reissue!
    Springer would be a nice catch as well...

    I vaguely recall the commercial, and remember vividly asking for it. I also remember my parents explaining it wasn't a real toy, only a commercial gimick.

    I picked up WM MP Starscream at Walmart the first time I saw it with a bunch of others. 2weeks later my girlfriend accidentally breaks the nosecone off. I'd figure I just go to Walmart and get another. Well I never seen Starscream in Walmart again. It sucks cause originally I was gonna buy 2.

    I'd figure they would be like the Hasbro MP OPtimus Prime and just warm the shelves for a few years.

    Sounds like a mix of the food fighters toys and the transforming playsets of computer warriors.

    Speaking of which I wanted the computer warriors pepsi can as a "grail" but when I got all my computer warriors dudes on clearance from brendels they did'nt have it. I remember also wanting the soccer ball tank but looking back that's probably the dumbest one since it takes up so much space and is hard plastic, that's not fooling anyone. I got the computer, pencil sharpener, desk clock, and a few of the circuit board flyers.

    I'm ranting. more on topic.

    I wish I had picked up more of those cybertron mini con two packs that one day wal mart had them. Instead I got leader brawl, who's brothers were shelf warming for months.

    BW Cybershark back when I had several chances
    Alt Jaguar Ravage... It was on clearance, but I was "done with Alts" at the time... Now I want one

    That's about it, actually. I can't think of anything I've seen and regretted passing up that I haven't obtained since.

    Ebay:
    -Botcon 07 box - I forgot to fax in my form on time.
    -Alt Prowl at TRU- I left my wallet at home and by the time I got back, it was gone, I kick myself for not hiding it or getting Customer service to hold onto it.
    -Energon Ultra Magnus at Wal-Mart- I was like, not another repaint.

    No, I've gotten most of it that I had a chance at. God Neptune, I guess.

    CLASSICS
    Starscream, Ramjet, Bumblebee

    MOVIE LINE
    BIG DADDY!!!

    MASTERPIECE
    Starscream (Hasbro), 20th Anniversary Optimus Prime

    BEAST WARS
    Inferno, Optimus Primal vs. Megatron 2-Pack

    I've come to appreciate the Classics line, so I'm gonna try to get Henkei Starscream and Bumblebee. Ramjet is uber cool, but I don't want him THAT bad. And Classics 2.0 is looking awesome, so I'm in on that.

    Big Daddy - WHERE IS HE???!!! I've looked at every Wal-Mart in my vicinity, and I've not seen ONE on the shelf.

    Masterpiece Starscream was first sighted not far from where I live. I haven't seen one yet. The scalpers must have been handed MP Screamer right from the guy who shelves them.

    I have not seen Inferno in person to this day. And the Primal vs. Megs set looked cool.

    Fort Max...my father was aghast at the thought of me spending $90 on a piece of plastic.
