    $30 each? What the hell? I might as well save an extra 20 bucks and just import the Henkei version.

    Well this supports what I posted in the PA sightings, my local Wal-Mart put up a big center isle display. It's a whole new style rack not a pallet sale and they already were filling in the TF's in this ad and there was an empty spot marked $30. So I guess the empty spot is for the Exclusives.

    Cool. I definitely want to pick up Hardhead and the red Powerglide, who will be replacing my white one on the shelf.

    dude, i agree...universe continuing in any fashion is fantastic...go buy powerglide so we can compare and i can decide if i need to blow money on redglide...

    and then buy me hardhead...you probably owe me money...

    sad

    Aww, those poor sad Skywarps and Ramjets at my local Wal-Mart, the one that got them in of the 2, they just keep moving them around the isles and displays.

    I want the Powerglide, but I might wait to see if the TRU still has the old one for $12.00 still.

    I could always buy some red paint and try to make him the same.

    Very cool, maybe the Wave 1 RoTF deluxes that have been on the shelves since the end of May will finally move but I'm not going to hold my breath.

    I'll definitely be getting Hardhead.

    I know what you mean. Wal-Mart in Richmond has an entire endcap of Skywarp/Ramjet. I sometimes wonder if the SW I bought was the only one they've sold.

    How much you wanna bet that Walmart will be taking back a lot of repacked Onslaughts, Powerglide/Stormclouds, and Silverbolts?

    Ack! Don't Jinx it! The 5 dollar hike is bad enough.

    Speaking of....so what now? All Store excluisves are gonna end up being 5 bucks more? Sigh, what can you do. I really want that Powerglide and Hardhead. And thinking about how much you save on the Blu-Ray release, I guess it works out a bit.

    Hardhead will be mine. But he sure as hell not have the gimpy siren issue the original Onslaught waves did. If I have to buy a toy with noises in it, they better work RIGHT.

    $24 for a deluxe and two legends is a rip off. Notice how some things in the ad are nicely priced (Leaders, Deluxes, Blu-ray Disc) and the others are overpriced (Seekers: I have seen them for ~$17 in my area, Movie Scene, Ultras).
