    I've been looking around here in the north Denver area and all I have seen is barren shelves and unwanted blocks of plastic that don't transform.

    Was just at the Walmart at 92nd and Sheridan and they had the AOE deluxe firgures on the shelf. Took them up to the register and they rang up just fine. As of 10am they had two Crosshairs, one Bumblebee. one Slug and two Scorns left on the shelf.

    Opened Slug up today and was playing around with him a bit and I like the figure alot. My only complaint is the amount of soft rubber that was used instead of plastic. Especially his swords. Not understanding the thought behind making those soft rubber. But he looks good in dino mode and I love the way he looks in robot mode. He has got a very medievil feel to him with the Knight looking head. My wife took some pics of his robot mode so will post them here in a min.

    Wow. He actually looks decent. Not like the other toys that have been shown. There may be hope yet for this line.

    Btw, Target on powers and union had two each of swerve and cosmos. I picked up one each....so there was one each left. I also found a 6 inch black series stormtrooper at the Target on powers and n carefree. They only had 1. That makes 5 in my collect now.

    I've literally only seen Slave Leias and Greedos everywhere I go. Maybe an R2 once.

    In one way I'm kind of glad that they aren't plentiful, as I don't need another thing to collect. If they ever do dip into more Jedi/Sith from KOTOR times/prequel Jedi/Sith, I may not be able to resist.

    I got lucky and scored 2 off of Amazon for $22.99 each. Then a buddy helped me find two at local Targets on separate occasions and got them to hold them for me. If you want, I can keep an eye out for more. These stormtroopers are rather nice.

    Appreciate the thought, but I think that this is fates way of telling me, "Yo dawg, concentrate on Transformers. There is always more 3P. Word."

    And then fate plays a cruel trick on you when it dangles one of these in front of your face with a ghetto jedi mind trick.

    "Yo dawg, I heard you like stormtroopers. Here's one....you know you want it....wipe off that cold swear off your brow bro....go get it.....you know you gonna open it.....and make dem pew pew noises yo...."

    Now that you've said that I'm going to find two, and a Boba Fett, and it'll all be over.

    Don't forget to get a Lando (if they make one) and a Vader. That way, you can say, "This deal is getting worse all the time."

    :D

    Ty for the heads up. Was up there about 45 min. ago and they only had 1 Crosshairs left. I would have got him, but they had just put out a case of each of the other toys:) . It broke my heart to leave leader class OP, but I only had enough right now for leader Grimlock. I checked everything on the scanner 2 aisles over and all of it rings up with a price. Hopefully I can get Optimus Saturday after payday. Good luck all.

    Thank You for the heads up on that. Sadly by the time I got there, only Deluxe left was Scorn. Otherwise what was left on the pegs were the power attackers (Bee, Crosshairs, Strafe).

    So I did manage to pick up Scorn. Though at $14.96 (Deluxe at least I believe) each I don't know if I'll pick them all up right away.

    They must have either put up another case of deluxes or found that Scorn stashed away because i looked everywhere for him and slug and nothing. Nice score!

    Ok, so the Walmart on Powers and Woodmen here in the Springs put out the case of AOE toys. They had two leader class Grimlocks and a few Voyager ones too. They had some deluxe toys on the pegs (to include Hound), and other....cheaper looking things. I almost picked up the purple dinobot, but then I looked at all the other figures....and put him back on the pegs. I don't think I'll be changing my mind on any of these. However, they did put out a crap ton of the Generations IDW legends OP and BB. They also had 2 Whirls and 2 Rhinox as well.
