Is the Battle Blades BB worth it? I'm not a big movie figure fan, but have thought about picking him up on clearance. How about deluxe ironhide or sideswipe?
I think Battle Blades Bumblebee is pretty much the definitive version of the character as far as movie toys go. Just my opinion of course. He's a good figure in terms of looks, articulation, size, and feature value. Deluxe Ironhide is a so-so figure. Looks pretty good in both modes but is very finicky to get transformed and doesn't lock together in bot mode very well. He's also rather small and, especially standing next to Battle Blades Bumblebee, just looks a little silly. Sidearm Sideswipe is another awesome figure. Fun to transform, looks good, nice features. The only drawbacks are that he still has the kind of goofy leg design (better than the original toy though) and the vehicle mode has a lot of pretty visible seams. A lot of people don't like the paint job on the American version of the toy but personally I thought it looked sharp.
Exactly what DC said, I waited to get him cheap but he's easily worth full price. I am blown away by the fact that BBB is now one of my favorite movie deluxe figures, and also how kick ass the leader Starscream (got it full price but worth every penny) is that I found a few weeks back! Seriously BBB looks good even standing (in full upright position) next to leader class toys, some deluxes can really look puny in comparison but not BBB. HFTD was a line I had way underrated, I only had terradive before and now I have five HFTD figures total and will also be looking for about five more during these great pre-dotm deals. But don't get me wrong b/c I'm glad to see some figures like Lame-blade and other bad redecos go away forever.
Saw a bunch of Generations WJ, TC and WP at the Ankeny Walmart. Caught me by surprise. I already have mine. If you're looking for WP looks like you might be able to find him at retail. I would expect more of them as DOTM toys are released.
Has anybody seen legends prime, megatron, and hopefully windcharger? My brother is in iowa, and if they're around he could pick them up and ship em to me.
For those of you who don't have them, the warpath wave (wheeljack, warpath, thundercracker, kup, and scourge) are all at the Wal-Mart off 73rd/ 8th st. in West Des Moines / Windsor Hieghts... (I never know what town that walmart is technically in)
Attention Quad Cities!! The Davenport Walmart, on Elmore, has WARPATH, WHEELJACK, AND THUNDERCRACKER!!!!!!! HURRY!!
Picked up Thundercracker this afternoon. There was 1 each of Wheeljack, Thundercracker, and Warpath left. They also have a ton of Hunt for the Decepticons on clearance so I picked up a Battle Blades Bumblebee. Excellent figure and super tall for a deluxe. They also have gotten in deluxes (looked like 1 case worth), voyagers, a three pack of legends for Dark of the Moon. I picked up the deluxe Starscream. It looks like Starscream and Roadbuster are shortpacked in the cases as there was only 1 of each. The voyagers looked like there was plenty of Megatrons, Optimuses, and Ironhides. I can't remember the price of the voyagers but the deluxes were $9.98.
They had two leader BB's and one leader SP. Only had BB's for deluxes I believe. Had a handful of voyager OP's and maybe one voyager ironhide. Didn't see any megatrons. Also had some cyberverse and HA figures.
