    I initially planned on collecting all 4 combiner sets...
    However, upon noticing stress marks on Bruticus' arm ball-joints whenever I needed to switch arms made me fear breakage.
    Just gonna stick to the Combaticons (plus Blastoff) for now.

    I picked up Hook today along with Scorponok at TRU. I didn't see any of the combiner sets.

    I apologize, but what is with the blind packs Dirge #49? I swear, it is the only one I can't find, did they only go one per box?

    Distribution in the boxes is pretty weird. The one I found had everyone, and most people seem to be able to get most of the figures, but some people have found full cases with only like three characters in it.

    TRU in Fayetteville, NC had a fresh case put out tonight. I did not sort them out to count but there was at least one of each. I completed my 12-pack by finding Hook and Bludgeon. The list I posted earlier was accurate for blind bag number markings. I noticed the GI JOE line picks up digits a little higher up like 70. I hope that means Hasbro is not ending them for TF - I need me some Dinobots.

    Picked up Devastator and Predaking, along with Rampage and Hook. Actually I bought two Tampages and Hooks. I wanted the 6 team Devastator, so I made one hook into Long Haul, and I just used the second rampage so I could beef up Predaking a little more in combined mode.

    Lovin these little figures! :D

    Im gonna play around with Predakings Torso a bit more, make it look a little less stretched

    that's scrappers head and helmet. The only piece I borrowed to make either set, was one of the extra black leg pieces that come with the combiners, they come with 5, but you only need 4. I took both extra black leg pieces and put em on predakings thights

    i feel this weird compulsion to try and use all parts in all modes. But you really do get some better looks when you leave a few things out. How did you get Rampage's sword to be a tail?

    Kreo Windcharger and Trailbreaker arrived today from BBTS. They're both pretty awesome, albeit random characters to use. I'm really digging how the Kreo line is tossing in some love for random little-used characters.

    This is for you, James Roberts:

    Also, if anyone would like the dragon that comes with Trailbreaker or the Snake that comes with Windcharger, please let me know. I'd trade both for a single Kreon (anything except preview wave figs)!

    Where is everyone getting the red Kre-o brick? Does it come with the combiners, or am I missing something?

    So, just looked at the G. I. joe sets on Hasbro's web site just to check them out, but apparently I'm the only one who didn't know they were TRU exclusives (according to the big sticker on the front of the package).

    So... last horse crosses the finish line? *shrugs*

    Red Kre-o brick stands come with the "Venom Strike" (Windcharger) and "Dragon Assault" (Trailcutter/breaker) sets. Not sure about the other BH ones, but I know it's definitely in those two.
