    slash is easily the worst of them all, in my opinion, i'm glad you like him.. but i think he's terrible.

    his colors, to begin with, are awful.

    his dino mode is nice looking.. so, if you want a troop of dinobots (like i do) you have to get him.

    he's just got too much crap hanging around, his head is the dumbest looking of all the dinobots.

    also, his inward bending arms are just atrocious.. i don't understand what hasbro is thinking when they do shit like this.. FOUR of the seven dinobots have inward bending elbows. it's unbelievable.

    personally, i really like leader class grimlock, his robot mode is very cool looking.. his t rex mode has its problems, but in my opinion those problems are equally as bad as the voyagers. so, with the voyagers and leaders dino modes both sucking equally, i think the leaders robot mode clearly wins out.

    as for deluxe dinobots, i would say that my favorite is strafe, but those inwards bending elbows REALLY kill it for me, ESPECIALLY when your realize that his arms don't transform at all, and does have wrist swivels, they're just going in the wrong direction, it's one of the dumbest things i've ever seen. so, i'd have to say that scorn is the best. sure, having a tail for an arm sucks, but at least you can pretend it's a weapon. and my FAVORITE aspect of the figure is that his dino head can move left, right, up, and down!!!! it's SOO awesome to have a dinosaur transformer with dino head articulation like that. the only downfall of scorn is that he doesn't have the three sails.. there's only one. but still, the dino mode is awesome.

    so.. i'd go..

    1. leader grimlock
    2. scorn
    3. strafe
    4. slug (he's REALLY close to being tied with strafe)
    5. slash (once snarl comes out, i think this will bump slash down to 6th)

    Was looking into having someone pick up legos but you would also need a paypal account so I could send you the funds.

    I was in North Olmstead TRU today. The display looked great. They had the Evo sets with Grimlock and Slug. I also saw the G1 Grimlock Kreo set. I picked up a Jetwash kreo to finish my search for that set out.

    In C-Bus, most of the Walmarts have indeed dropped all deluxe classes down to $9.97. Movie as well as the regular Genline. The rest might be going down too by the end of the month because of bad sales. Their hoping for the movie release to rocket the sales up. We'll see!

    TRU in Lima has two of the Masterpiece Grimlocks left. Plus some 30th Starscream and Ultra Magnus that have been shelfwarming for a while now. They're back in the normal aisle. Out front they have just about all the Wave 1 AOE stuff and Kreo blind packs and the Grimlock set.

    Canton TRU has the Kre-O Grimlock set. They also had the original pre AoE custom Kreons, which I promptly scooped up. I love these things.

    Just heard that today. That is by far the one of the three I go to the least, but it still sucks. Wonder if they will do a serious clearance or if they will send stuff to the other two stores?

    Yes this is absolutely horrible. Its only 5 minutes from my house in shoreland so this is pretty crushing for me. Exclusives will be much harder to come by in Toledo now at least for me

    Sighting to avoid. Englewood Walmart has the deluxe lines still priced at $15. Wanted to grab Armada Starscream, but not for full price...
