    Since I first saw these guys online I've wanted them. Now if only my Wal*Marts knew how to restock a shelf.

    Well, keep in mind that Oil Slick was originally designed as a non-show character. Hasbro just had extra space and the guys at CN didn't even know about him at first (kind of the same reason why Laserbeak didn't show up in the episode with Soundwave). Not to mention... the show Oil Slick looks to have a slightly different design then the toy.

    Found it!

    Thanks Grimlock Minor for the tip!

    Man, today was a killer haul for me.

    EDIT: Oh, and BIG FYI: they actually have the Twins listed on Target.com, along with a "store locator" function, but don't freak out when you see that your local Target has them available; they use the same DPCI as the Battle Begins 2-Pack.

    I picked these guys up yesterday as they have started filtering out to the department stores here in AU. I quite like them sure the hands are a little annoying and the combined jet mode is a bit meh but overall I think they are one of if not the best TF combiner ive ever owned.

    Though I will say that based on the way they are in the comic these guys are going to be a little annoying in the show.

    The almost bug like cross shape is the official transformation there are actual slots which hold the arms in place for it.

    Yea I'd watch out guys...

    I called and talked to a Walmart manager who pulled up the item using the product number given on this post.

    In turn I actually received an easier to use ITEM number for the product.

    There is a problem however.

    When they use the item or product number, it cross references 2 other items on top of this one.

    Meaning if they say they have 6 of this item on the shelf, it (like Target,) could be pulling up the Battle Begins 2 Pack.

    So if you call and use the number, it MAY or MAY NOT be Jetfire/Storm.

    Roykop,

    can you check the box bottom for the complete 12 digits code for us..
    walmart's receipt somehow put a prefix of 0 and shows only 12 digits displayed on the receipt; so the last digit omits.

    If checking Target for these, please keep in mind that the DPCI is the same as the Prime / Megatron Battle Begins pack: 087-06-0116.

    There are a few words I could use to describe these guys.

    Awesome.
    Underrated.
    Fantastic.
    A hell of a great deal for the price.

    GO OUT AND BUY IT NOW!

    SEE! I've been trying to TELL you people!!

    Lol. Check out post #118 (or my most recent one) in that thread for the proper back kibble configuration. Also, there are some interesting alternate wing configurations in super jet mode available HERE and HERE.
