    I checked with my local Wally's toy department. No news on it being released early. So who knows when they're coming...

    ...do you do this for the hell of it or something?

    Seriously...

    Great minds think alike...except for that whole circa-1930s Nazi Germany thing...

    I see you are a Tenchi fan...you have great taste. A shame how they ended the third OVA, a disgrace, really.

    The only figure I will pick up as soon as possible will be Leader Prime; the others can wait.

    Have you looked in the Collections Thread? There are MANY TF collectors with multiples of one item still boxed. Seeing six unopened packs of a figure I was never able to find on the shelf in someone's display room irritates me.

    Hotwheels collectors, on the other hand, can be stereotyped to your heart's content.:ev: 


    I have three Walmarts locally, and another two I can hit with some driving. Friday will be expensive.
    Maybe I'll buy all the Sideswipes I see. You know, for the army.:sly2:

    29th ?????
    I'll believe it when i see it.
    Knowing wal-mart, the date code won't unlock till 30 or 31.
    Last movie dxs were released week or 2 early,
    but wallys wouldn't unlock codes till scheduled date.
    Wait and see???

    I'm gonna try. They wouldn't let me buy Robot Replicas Starscream last week, and if they have any thing that can transform, I'll probably past on him.

    I've seen the paperwork and it looks like its a company wide memo, so if all local Walmart's honor it and set it up, its legit for ROTF to be released at 5 PM local time on the 29th.

    Pardon my youthful ignorance, but what's so terrible about hot wheels collectors? You guys make them sound like die-cast Nazis.

    I was told that Toys R Us here in Portugal is going to release the toys on the 29th at 9pm.

    Can anyone tell which wave is going to be available?

    If this is true...why 5:00? People will just be getting out of work, it's the weekend, so traffic's going to be a pain in the ass, and there will be people all over the store. It has potential chaos written all over it.

    I was hoping for the midnight release for the peace and quiet.
