    Unfortunately, that's not how things actually work. I've yet to see any of these in person. Luckily I'm not anxious to find any of them either. I was before for the grey Bumblebee and maybe Scorponok, but now? With all the Premium stuff out thereto come? Not so much anymore.

    Yeah, we had those at the beginning of the month here. Sadly, they were the ONLY things on the shelves at that point haha.

    No one here is buying the Barricade and Longarm sets -- I've seen 4~8 of them at every Target I've been to. I haven't seen the other two around, but I'm reasonably certain they haven't been here yet because of one fact: I haven't seen the Scorponok set at all.

    The only one I can imagine selling (or buying for that matter) is the Capture of Bumblebee, because he's still a harder to find figure than most. I would be surprised if ANYONE picked up a Desert Attack instead of a Voyager class figure...

    So the day I go into the store and see 4 Desert Attack sets in the aisle, along with the Swindles and Dropkicks and other pegwarmers here, then I'll know.

    Personally, I'd rather have Evac.

    Even for the MISB collector, these are some pretty crummy dioramas.

    Can't they just end this movie line already and hurry up with Animated?

    I usually collect all the bumblebee's, but this is a pass... both of these, they're just too expensive for a deluxe and some little figurines

    Actually, I like the "Desert Attack" Battle set! I plan to get this one and the "capture of bumblebee" too! :p
