    The problem with that is we won't likely see any of them until all of the DOTM Cyberverse Commanders are sold out first. From checking Target's computer scanners, the Cyberverse (Legions at least) are all using the same product coding, for both RiD and DOTM alike. So with all of the Walmarts and Targets still flooded (at least all my stores are) with DOTM Cyberverse Commanders it's going to be a long time before we see the RiD Prime ones. I fairly sure my stores will end up missing wave one at this rate.

    Stopped in at Clive TRU today. They didn't have them on the shelf but I asked and they brought some from the store room. Guess that means I've picked them clean unless your interested in either one of their six BBs, or Powerizer Op and Megs. The case was beaten up but I got what I was looking for. Ratchet, Soundwave and Megatron. This completes all the PRiD figures I care about since I already found Wheeljack. Fingers crossed (as in completely broken) that Hasbro keeps their word that they'll try to release the FE figures again... they won't.

    I probably could have gotten them cheaper if I'd just waited for them to show up at Walmart, but looking at how badly the cases have been packed (three bumblebees and one of each of everyone else) I'd be hard pressed to find Soundwave.

    I also got Over-Run today. Really was not worth the trouble at this point. I'm personally more excited about the figures I got today and I'm not even all that interested in the TFPrime series.

    Edit: Megatron definitely looks allot better in person and allot less brown. The metal texture to the plastic is just awesome. However I started comparing his height to other figures, I got to Classics Megatron and I nearly flipped.

    The Hiawatha Wal-Mart was doing their toy aisle reset today. I plan to swing by again tomorrow and see if anything new is out.

    I saw some Prime Cyberverse Commander OP's and one Starscream at the Windsor Heights Walmart the other day. I passed, so there may still be some left there. I assume they had others but were already sold.

    A bit too out of the way for me, but good to know they're in-state.

    Davenport Target had each of the four wave one PRID figures if anyone is still looking for them! I actually saw a Soundwave in stores for the first time, but I had bought one off another member earlier on. Anyways, just thought I'd let you all know!

    I just scored an RiD Ratchet at the Target in Moline. There was still an Arcee there when I left along with a cyberverse commander Prime.

    I picked up RiD Arcee last night at the Target in Davenport but there was no Ratchet yet, I'm guessing it just hasn't been put out yet because the pegs were pretty full.

    Picked up only Prime Ratchet and Arcee at Urbandale Target. Also picked up Cyberverse Commander Megatron, Starscream, and Bulkhead. One Bulkhead left. The peg said 8.99 for the Cyberverse figs but they didn't ring up at the register. Wonder if this is why some Targets have been reported as having them on clearance for around $2 each. I was honest and said they were 8.99. Is Prime RiD Arcee worth it of I have the FE Arcee already? I still haven't picked up RiD BB because I already have FE BB.

    Finally found the Cyberverse commander at the North East Target. They were hidden on the opposite side of the big endcap display, so it's possible they've been there awhile and I just never noticed. :dunce  They had two Optimuses and a Starscream, now they only have one Optimus. :thumbs2:

    Not really no. Neither is a bad figure but I sort of feel like the RiD version is just... less? Not sure how to describe it; not really that different just smaller and simpler. The giant honking gun is pretty much just there because Hasbro new that the figure itself wasn't worth the price point of a deluxe.

    I'm kinda looking for the DOTM cyberverse Shockwave set if anyone spots one.

    Also, if anyone spots a really good price on DOTM Leader BB (I'm thinking like $20 or less) I might pick one up.

    Beginning to wonder as to whether it's worth going out of town now that we've got a TV series backed line. All the PRiD figs I hunted for in Des Moines showed up at the local Walmart. Funnily enough I don't think high end cable is popular here because these things aren't selling all that fast. I'm still thinking about PRiD Arcee, the FE is more pose-able and I like the colors, but the RiD is in a better scale and has a correct torso.

    So how about TFPrime? My brother talked me into watching season 2 and so far I'm kinda liking it better than the first, though the human element still frustrates me and every time Fowler show up in a fighter jet I want to smack my head against a wall. Oh and the jokes make me laugh too, so that's nice. :/

    I really enjoy Prime. It reminds me of beast wars in a good way. Sure it has its faults but overall the story and character development are fantastic.

    As for RiD toys, our stores here in the qc have been keeping things very will stocked so far and nothing has been hard to find yet.

    Not sure if you were still looking for a DOTM Shockwave set still, but I did see one at the Cedar Rapids Toys R Us. I think it was $14.99

    I'm out if town for work this week but I was informed that a package arrived for me today so I'm guessing that's it.
