    They're super cool figures. I got my Zed and Tommy from Hasbro Pulse today. I just wish we didn't have to wait so long to get more. Hoping for a SDCC set or something.

    I left a Galaxy Prime at HIP, preordered mine through the website during the big sale and the discount is too huge to cancel it.

    Hmmm unsure if I'm able to even stop by HIP to get Galaxy Prime by the time I get out, someone else might swipe it before me, rip. Hopefully one of my local targets stocks it, so far the North Broadway Target only restocked Leader Siege Ultra Magnus and Shockwave.

    Yeah it’s street dated. They won’t sell it until the end of July basically. For the Galaxy Force Prime at the HIP!

    That’s what showed up when the manager tried to override it for me. Apparently, it’s locked and can’t be sold until then. At least for Target that is. Walmart couldn’t give less of a shit. So if you want one, your best bet is there then.

    Damm, I was so excited for this figure, but after seeing more of it here and there, it doesn't interest me anymore. The alt mode cab is just weird, with the front wheels pushed way forward. The hands are funny too and the chest, too different from the original.

    I have the Cybertron and Galaxy Force versions of the original, that's plenty.

    Can someone kindly direct me to the nearest Yoink store? I hear they have an excellent selection of transformable figures.
