twee:
At a local Target in San Diego, CA:
Picked up Dropshot, left Blades.
Soundblaster1:
I haven't seen wave 1 yet and wave 2 is out?
Blades is the highlight of this wave, IMO. Totally rocks.
twee:
Is Blades really that awesome? Looks like I'll have to go pick it up tomorrow.
That is, if I don't see Blitzwing first.
EDIT: Which toy is Blades a repaint of again?
Ravenxl7:
Interesting. I haven't seen any wave 1 figures from the Universe line yet. Then again, I haven't been to a Target in a while, lol. I'll hopefully get to one when I go get my books for this next semester. I'll be kinda close to one then anyways.

Check the thread I started in the feedback forum. I'm very fond of it.
It's a repaint of Cyb Evac. Only sexier. And not orange.
http://www.tfw2005.com/boards/transf...se-blades.html Omegus Prime:
Holy crap, slow down!
Ah well, that's two voyagers for Universe I want now. And both red, woohoo!
Powersa:
Didn't think I'd buy these repaints but the packages look really great, very tempting
Razerwire:
Me want Blades! Will add thee to thy Cybertron collection!
frenzy_rumble:
which Target Twee? I went by 2 of them today!
LXL_Guy:
More figures found again....geez my wallet is suffering. Better yet I'm suffering not being able to buy them. Then again...I hope I don't find them yet.
Beastbot X:
Still haven't found Wave 1...
SmokescreenGT:
What is it with Target and mangled boxes lately? Good thing I open my TFs.
Anyway, I'll probably pick up Dropshot when I see him, but I'm not sure about Blades yet. I like the red coloring, but I may just wait for the Springer repaint later this year.
Dinobot Nuva:
Dear god, its like the opposite of a drought...
OVERDOSE.

I hear ya. I've only seen Universe Voyagers at Targets, and all of them have bad box conditions. I keep repaints sealed, so I won't buy them unless the box is in at least c8 on condition. I got lucky and found one Autobot Blaster with a good conditioned box.
optimus major:
SLOWDOWN!!!!!!! THERE COMMIN TOO FAST!!!!!!!!!!!!
seriously hasbro.....you go from taking the slow route to jumping on the autobon
G1Wheeljack:
These are coming out way too fast. I want Blades but I can wait for him as he's not top priority.
Dinobot Nuva:
Let's recap-
August 3rd: Universe Blades and Dropshot
August 2nd: Animated Blitzwing
August 1st: Robot Heroes Arcee/Rumble, Rhinox/Waspinator and Optimus Primal/Tarantulas, Powerbots Bumblebee
July 31st: Tons of repackaged SWTF in snazy Clone Wars packaging, new blue Obi-Wan starfighter (no longer a Walmart exclusive)
July 30th: Universe Galvatron and Acid Storm
July 26th: Universe Legends Megatron, Jazz and Hound
Seriously what the hell is going on? New stuff EVERY. DAY.

Predaking:
With Animated, Classics/Universe, Marvel Crossover, and SWTF there are way too many toys out there. I like Blades a lot (just wish they had done a military color repaint instead and call it Vortex) but need to save money for Blitzwing cuz I'll be getting two.
Dropshot:
Pass on all of them. Maybe if I get one cheap blades, really cheap.
Ravens:
Truly, it is coming out very fast... Over-flowing... Way too many... And TF: Revenge of the Fallen is getting nearer too...

I've always loved Dropshot's mold, myself. Other than the color, it's the best of these two, imo!
MR.UPGRADER:
Whoa! Those are awesome!
In the picure, Whats the name of that other decipticon?
The yellow and green one. Because he looks REALY awesome!

"Decepticon Heavy Load". Or Heavy Load.
MegaHavok:
Got these guys at my target too. All this new stuff is destroying my credit card and in another $150 in new star wars toys and i gotta hide the statement from my wife.
I would say all this product is a result of the movie line extension. Universe and animated have to finish with less time before TF2 and 25th anniversary launch
Robogeek28:
Wow, so much good crap coming in all at once!
I just wish my retro check from my last job would get approved already so I can afford these guys, sheesh!!
RimFyre:
Now I have to get on a budget!! I got it,I just won't eat!

Hey, I do that all the time. That is why my statement is sent to my office!
Railguard:
Alright, I will renew my hunt for these, I have to have Dropshot, he looks fantastic!!!!
Opticron Primal:
Oh god.....Hasbro....please.....I beg of you......slow...the fu*k.......down......
BigRC83:
Bring out Silverbolt please.

Scourge_151:
I'm going to have to stop myself buying Blades, very cool repaint.
artiepants:
I
LOVE both these molds, but like Springer way better for the Evac mold (if this deco was a little more evocative of Blades in either mode i'd get both happily, but i just ain't feelin' it) and really, really hate that yellow they did Drop Shot in, wish he was more of an army green.
Optimus Sledge:
Oh Blades, you crimson psychopath, you. You will be mine. Oh yes.
Ktulu:
My wallet has locked himself in the bathroom and won't come out. I hear him sobbing and smashing things
ODarkThirty:
I never got Cybertron Evac so I wouldn't mind picking up Blades...but Springer looks nice too.
Red or
green?
Red or
green? That question makes me feel like I'm at a restaurant being asked which kind chile sauce I want.

I'm suddenly picturing the following scenario...
Quote:
A 911 dispatcher received a call from a Super Target employee concerning one of their customers who, after having purchased a cartful of Transformers®, collapsed at the checkout lane. Paramedics were sent the location of the call but the individual was declared dead on the scene. The cause of death was an overdose of plastic crack.
In other news there has been an epidemic of wallets running away from their owners. Chaining them down has proven to be ineffective, and in extreme cases, the wallet became violent towards themselves or their owners.

Inciteful:
Aw hell, and here I just caught up with Wave 1. Must... put... fire... in wallet out!

Good thing I'm color blind, I'LL TAKE BOTH WHOOPWHOOP /ZOIDBERG.
No, seriously though, at least nothing else new was sighted today, hopefully this doesn't last long...
