The hunt begins yet again, for some of us. Thanks to TFW2005 user Lbsammills51, we have our first United States sighting of the highly-awaited repaint of the DOTM Ironhide in a very G1-inspired deco. This toy was sighted at a Target in California.

Nice find, good for you!
My TRU just finally rec'd Leader Ironhide, my Target never receives the new stuff for ages.. but it would be nice to find this version, so here I go ahuntin'

A new headmold could've saved this. Despite the holes in the torso of this mold, the arms that start at the elbows and the skinny thighs it's still quite a nice toy. The headmold as regular Ironhide is brilliant. The headmold painted red is not.

It's good to know he's starting to show-up in the wild. He'll be the second, and most likely last, DotM toy I get. Though I'll probably wait till after Christmas to worry about hunting for him (adding him to the list this year). He and the white repaint of Ratchet coming out next year should look nice together.

I've had this for a week now, picked it up at Toys 'R Us in Amarillo Texas. Already opened. Didn't realize it was new. Kind of odd looking with this color in robot mode (to me anyhow).
EDIT: Have to retract this, I checked my receipts and this was ordered from Amazon and arrived on the 12th. Didn't get it in Amarillo, just thought I had as I picked up a ton of stuff while there. (they were loaded!)
Silk Spectre
After adding some black to the head, I think I'll really like the figure. It's all the red on his head that bugs me.
But I'm with those saying a repaint of the Recon mold would have been better.
No interest in the HA basics. I have a few, but lost interest in them fast – the only ones I purchased were more for the weapon modes than anything else.

aint that the truth

More DOTM figures I will not purchase.
Bendimus Prime
He's great, but I need that Reverb, lol.
Shin Densetsu
Saw this in person today. Deco looks kinda cheap because the red is bare plastic, would've been better using a darker shade of red.
Passed on it because I already have the 1st wave voyager. If I didn't though, I would pick this up, it's an underrated mold, leg articulation is excellent, arms are the sore spot but not a deal breaker. Just weird.
Would've preferred a red Recon IRONHIDE INSTEAD.

Sentinel, Optimus, and Megs. The revision case subs in the Fireburst Optimus for the original one.

Sentinel Prime is listed on the bottom of the box as the cross-sell…unfortunately I'm not sure who else. I did see Megatron for the first time in a long time, but I'm not sure if that's due to a restock or if Megs is part of that Voyager wave.

I want to like it, I really do, but the head especially is throwing me off.
Valkysas
Who else is in that case?
Nightwind
Aw! I found him yesterday at Target but didn't know he hadn't been sighted stateside yet!

I love this deco! It has a very 80's feel to it.
NCStarscream
I bought this an hour ago at Target in Morrisville, NC and commented in the NC Group on my mobile phone – I was just logging on my PC to post my picture of it.
Nothing new now, but I'm posting it anyway since I bothered to take it (EDIT: took it out because it's so big; no need to clog up the thread with redundancy).
Kaijumaster
drag strip!

I know he was sighted in Canada, but I think this would be the first US brick and mortar sighting:
If it's already been sighted in the US, sorry and mods feel free to lock or merge.
