Rumble02:
im envious of the doubledealer box
Pravus Prime:
I'd like to get Fracture, if I ever see her. Heh, Go-bot Crasher FTW!
BigPhill:
Just hope I can find these for non-gouged prices.
Someone should really tell EBay sellers that a Deluxe in the USA, isn't worth $50 to someone in the UK.
Automorpher:
Fracture sounds..err..Painful?
Does it suit a female TFs? Mm.. 
On the other hand, Crankcase gets special love from me but I'm past indulging in Movie TFs. However, this could change if I spot 'em at clearance corners.  Runamuck:
Awesome! And can I have your MIB/MISB G1 figures in the background?! Nevermore:
How much are these?
Autovolt 127:
Hell yeah!
Big Daddy's being reissued Sweet!

Takara_destron:
Excellent, I have relatives heading to the US soon and I've asked them to try and get me a Fracture.

Oh wow, Breakaway looks great!! I will have to hit my local Walmart this week.
KnightSaberAmi:
Alright I asked MM (he's busy at the moment) and he informed me that they were $9.96 for each one. Hope this helps!
PoweredConvoy:
I wonder what the case breakout for these is? If it's as bad as the last cases, 3, 3, 2, and 1 layout. I sure hope not with only 3 figures.

shockwave2005:
that's cool that they included the first round of exclusives - they were nonexistent around here.

As for the case breakout, it seemed to be fairly even from what I could tell on the first couple of rows.
dinobotdude44:
yes! a second chance at big daddy!  PoweredConvoy:
Thanks for the info on the case breakout!

flywheels:
Dang, the wife asked me to go to Wal-Mart last night after I got home from work and I didn't go b/c I was too tired. Better stop by later today just in case.
flamingunicron:

there actually have been years where there were no repaints at all from the same year or earlier but this was only during G1.
Johnator:
Going to pick these up. Sweet.
Deceptichage:
I'm glad Hasbro actually did stop for a while, at least what I collect. No Wave 4 Animated deluxes or leader class (Magnus) for over a month since the last wave was sighted. The latest Universe was Galvatron and Acid Storm, which I picked up almost a month ago as well. I haven't seen Animated Blitwing either or Grimlock and Prowl Titaniums. August has been a slow month for TFs. Now September may be different.
Razerwire:
What's gonna piss me off to no end is the fact that I didn't even see the exclusives the FIRST time around. I hate my local Wal*Marts.

I saw blitwing on walmart few weeks ago. and there are few grimlock and prowl titaniums on TRU @Corpus Christi, TX
Robogeek28:
I looked in every Wal-mart in my area and nothing.  Omegax80:
Walmarts in Northern NJ (Saddle Brook specifically) are notorious for never actually putting figures on shelves. I have NEVER found an exclusive at a Walmart in Saddle Brook.
When I lived in New Brunswick, the Walmart on Route 1 ALWAYS had them.
Reflector Unit:
Do want Fracture. Go-Bots FTW
AniProwl:
Who thinks Crankcase looks like Trailbreaker? Anyone?

I'm not sure what Trailbreaker you've been seeing.
Granted, there was a blue version of the Diaclone Toyota Hi-Lux, but the color is about as far as the resemblance goes for me.
Razerwire:
No Fracture's have shown up on eBay yet. Only one is from China.
G1Wheeljack:
Nice, I might pick up Breakaway but I'm really excited that I've got a second chance to pick up Big Daddy.

This. 
None of the Walmarts in Colorado Springs or Monument have them (yeah I checked all 10 or so of them today, no dice).

Dark Magnus:
I wasn't aware Crankcase was a homage to a micromaster. I may pick him up now to put him with my Universe Galvatron faction of Decepticons. So far I plan to have Galvatron, Bugbite, Fracture, Dropshot, and now Crankcase as a third faction of Transformers in my classics display.

But they are pretty small, so it's almost a micromaster. lol
Motor_Master:
The Cyb Red Alert mold was a perfect choice for crankcase, esp for a triggercon.
Now I haven't checked my Cyb Hot shot yet, but I would be curious to see if anyone else that's gotten Breakaway has noticed on theirs that the arms don't seem to want to peg into the legs all that well? Mine also has problems with the shoulders connecting in car mode.

Neat little guy about the size of a G1 Minibot, but with spin-out guns on his shoulders, a lot like the Cybertron Red Alert mold. Motor_Master: Quote:

Is it fixable? | The shoulders might be, it almost acts as if it doesn't want to fold up completely. There might be a tiny bit of extra plastic or something that needs to be filed down. As for the leg/arm connection, don't know.
FYI, KSA picked up Fracture for you at the Walmart today.
