    Oh but yes they do in my area. They have started putting deluxes on the bottom shelf at my nearest target.

    It really is surprising that these have gone on for so long. Actual Transformers products such as Titaniums and Alternators are dead and buried. But these have taken a whole other life of their own.

    Kids and SW fans alike must be doing a heck of a job with the support for this line.

    I really wonder how much longer it's gonna take for a G.I. Joe Crossover to happen.

    they could always make r2d2 turn into the escape pod from the first movie, with an inevitable remold of r5d4 with a gigantic missle inside it.

    Kit Fisto's head literally looks like a green pile of turd.

    Literally.

    Battle Droid looks pretty damn cool. He will probably spend a lot of time in alt-mode on my SWTF shelf.

    R2 could be the escape pod that he and C3PO took to Tatooine in that one movie of SW (>___> its been SO long since i've seen Star Wars..) Although I'd think that R2 might be a shellformer kind of..

    3PO i'm not sure though...Luke's speeder?

    I'm meh on the battle droid, the V-wing fighter is still on my want list. And that Jedi Starfighter mold has had more repaints than the original G1 Screamer mold. About ten more and it will beat Bruticus as "most over-used TF mold EVER" I think.

    G.I JOE! now that is the only crossover I would buy but only if it was vehicle to robot in terms of like cobra hiss tank megatron or the snow cat into well, snow cat (would be the logical choice..hehe), or rattler starsream.....not things like a vamp jeep that turns into a robotic duke...or like a swamp skier that turns into Zartan....dont like that idea....if they did it that first way I suggested then you can actually play with G I Joes and TFs in a cool way where it would make sense ...can you imagine like a little kid playing with duke and a vamp then the vamp turns into a bigger robot duke..he would think thats gay

    Seeing as how no Target planogram I've seen has the Star Wars stuff next to the Transformers stuff, I can't see how SWTFs would have anything to do with that (unless if the people in the toy department at that Target really just don't care).

    Universe Deluxes being on the bottom shelf would make sense anyway, as they're marked as NCF (Not Carry Forward), and stores are going to stop stocking them in preparation for the summer reset.

    Transformers fans LOVE Animated = Animated doesn't sell & gets canned.

    Transformers fans HATE SWTF = They fly off the shelf.

    Why are Hasbro/Lucas still persisting with these damn SWTF's?

    Please put them out of their misery! Please! :lol

    Gods I hate this. As a TF fan and a SW fan, I really WANT this line to work, but it seems like they have inbreed kittens engineering the molds for these things. How hard can it possibly be to make a good SW vehicle that transforms into a robot with a vague resemblance to a SW character? If they could make Animated Longarm turn into an alien crane, a tank and Shockwave then they can make a better mold for these guys. That's 4 modes! We only need 2 for these guys to work!!!

    AND STOP USING THE SAME D*** MOLDS!!! Gods! Where's my Jawa pimp sandcrawler that turns into crazy ol' Ben Kenobi, or Alderaan shuttle-thingy that turns into Leia? If you want to keep crappin' out Jedi, then make a better X-Wing mold and give it an R2 that acts as a mini-con / Targetmaster. Come on Hasbro! Do something better thah this garbage. Microwave the inbreed kittens and get some of your compentent employees on this, stat!

    These are just stupid looking. They must be losing a lot of money on these silly things, I mean only a few of these things even look a little cool.

    First wave hit shelves at about the same time as the Beast Wars 10th Anniversary figures, so going on three now.
