    Man, I actually have only found fireflight at retail, and when I go in they have just about nothing but AOE stuff and some of the cyberverse RID stuff. I heard a rumor about some kind of strike when I asked a target employee about why they weren't refreshing product? (scalpers aren't so bad in my area.)

    The 2015 wave 1 Deluxe figures are pretty nice. My fav has to be Dragstrip I think :)

    Ya, they're pretty awesome. I really can't wait (but will) for wave 2. Superion is great and all, but he just doesn't feel right with Dragstrip in there. No knock against DS either. Wave 1 is why I'm so excited for wave 2.

    Individually so far, I think AB is my favourite... Doesn't mean I don't prefer a proper "jet" limb for Superion though.

    Their shipping is terrible as well. I just look there most of the time (well, not anymore, but I used to) to keep track of what's out from various lines (usually non-tf stuff, since I'm pretty on top of that).

    I think it's the pipe from Streets of Rage. He's taking it to the streets

    And their customer service is the worst. I've been buying online since 1997 and ToyWiz is the only seller I've ever had to open a PayPal claim against. Also be aware that they have a 30% restocking fee if anything goes wrong during shipping or you need to return an item.

    Looks like Predaking is going to be out of action for a bit.

    Hey, is this additional step in the leg transformation of Dragstrip common knowledge? I had no idea myself, but was made aware by someone commenting on my photo in another thread!

    To get Dragstrip to sit at the same height in leg mode as the Aerialbots, the rear wing of the alt mode actually swings up to reveal another hole to plug the foot piece into! Here's a pic I took of the difference. I'm sure this wasnt in the instruction book lol!!

    Yeah, it has been noted several times in this thread, but thanks for posting this so more people would know about it.

    Apparently someone is selling wave 2 Deluxes by the case. So 8 figures, 2 of each.

    Any word on how to deal with the antenna for the torso combiner head for Superion and Optimus? These things are crap. Any third party working on it that anyone knows of?

    The sooner we see Devastator and get him the better. I tried playing with my reissued Devastator and he's falling apart. The Constructicons are not standing up properly, Bonecrusher's chest won't stay up and when I pick up Devastator his limb fall off.
