    These are cute. Any way we can identify the blind packs besides feeling? The similar shapes seem like that may prove difficult.

    Sadly, the thing that will rope me into getting the set are the cards that they come with. Like Old-school comic cards, when you get all of the cards from the wave, they form a big pic of optimus. They're supposedly holographic too. Damnit. I don't care about the Bayverse ones, but now I need them to get the cards.

    Nice!

    I may pick up a few, just for the occasion. I always love mini / SD figures. :)

    All these sets follow the same pattern.

    Optimus Prime, Megatron, Starscream, Ratchet and someone else.

    They're cool I guess.

    The price is insane for what you are getting...
    I seen them tonight and thought they looked neat enough to purchase....then I seen the price tag

    The boxed set where also all falling apart off the hangers. Someone didn't think materials and design out very well lol

    I picked some blind packs up at Five Below yesterday. Got Movie Optimus and Sentinel, and G1 Ratchet and Soundwave. They're static, but the details are pretty good. I preferred Robot Heroes, and these just aren't as fun. They do come with little lenticular cards that form a G1 Optimus from the box art (yippee...), which adds some value to the pack as a whole.
    All I really want are the three versions of Shockwave that are in later waves, then I'm done.

    So, is there a list of retail stores carrying these guys, or what? Can I find them at my local Wal-Mart?

    Got a couple cases in this last week. I was pretty stoked and then I pushed the first case and saw how small they are. I was thinking they'd be similar to the Godzilla mini's that came out a ways back, which are awesome by the way, but they're tiny. Only really want the G1ers, but don't know that I'll bite at $16.00 a set.

    Personally, they're better off just making wst transformers than this piece of crap. I saw it a Toys R Us today. Wanted to puke because I was looking for transformers 4 mini figures that transform......not these bobble heads crap.

    Looks like the five packs and are only available at TRU so far. I don't see them anywhere else like (target, wal-mart, walgreens, kmart, etc)

    Other members said they found some at 5 Below, but those were the BLIND PACKS.
