Acid Storm's price was about $79.99 USD, roughly the same price I paid for Masterpiece Thundercracker about a year ago during the holiday season. While I really wish that Hasbro would give us a discount considering this is merely another redeco of the seeker mold, the fact that they even bothered making Acid Storm in the first place justified the price for me, especially since it's the "skirtless" mold with the newer head design..

The Transformers aisle at my TRU is pretty terrible. It's almost always empty, Bot Shot figures are spread out over nine or ten pegs with one or two on each peg, and there are actually more figures from Dark Of The Moon than there are from any of the other lines, including voyager and deluxes. I found him stowed away on a shelf behind the counter with smart tablets in the electronic's section. My guess is that since he's an SDCC exclusive and is obviously highly valued (the employee there told me they were only allowed to sell one figure per customer per transaction) that's why they're keeping him there. The somewhat aggravating (but at the same time...lucky) thing about it; had I never needed an employee to unlock the cheapy 10 dollar headphones I was purchasing from the peg, I would have went about my shopping day and never even seen him displayed there in the first place. I guess the Transformers gods up there in robot heaven were smiling upon me today.
