    People can army build with these guys. I wouldn't risk it personally, go with your instincts and grab them on sight.

    I say buy them at first sight. You might never know, they could very well easily sell out at TRU as soon as they hit the shelves.

    I made the same mistake and carry the same regret to this day. Nowadays, if I know I want it I'll just buy it.

    Put it this way: would you rather buy something, then see it's still available long after (and then a big price drop hits!) OR would you rather pass on something when it's widely available and right in front of you (sometimes in your hands), and then later not be able to find it anywhere, having to resort to scalper prices? That's the gamble!

    Best bet is to get them as soon as you see them. You know what usually happens when you plan for something like this...they sell out.

    I was at Botcon and on the display I could have sworn it said they would be out September 1. Anyone go to TRU today and can confirm if they are out?

    I also went yesterday and there was nothing. An employee told me they would be getting a truck last night so I will check again today.

    I guess I need to go to the local TRU this weekend and see if they have these yet (and Perceptor as well).

    I went to Toys R Us today and they didn't have Perceptor or the Insecticons.

    Checked today again and nothing. Will keep trying (I wish toys had firm release dates like games and dvd's)...

    These were actually on the layouts for our current phase changes. Too bad they're not out yet...just means I'm gonna have to find space for them when they DO come out. blah.

    Anyways...I am so getting them.

    Same....well, check yesterday and day before. Think I'm just going to quit trying so hard.

    Because whenever I check every other day, the week that I don't go is the week they show up.
