Striker Optimus is the BEST movie Optimus figure released so far. Just fiddled with mine. Yep.

trebleshot · 01-05-2012, 08:10 AM

I just hope that Striker Optimus makes an appearance Stateside some day.

Other than that, I will just have to be happy with the 9 movie Primes I already own (soon to be 10 when I pick up Fireburst Prime).

DAMMIT! I was supposed to be out of the transformer collection after shedding my Molini persona on tfw and migrating here to Toyark. So what happened? Fellow arker Symbiote bought me TFC toys Excavor for my birthday and opened up Pandora's box.

All other released constructicons were immediately purchased from tfsource shortly thereafter. Sorry bank account...I tried.

Anyone heard anything on the release of DoTM HA Soundwave? Other than the two latest Generations figures I haven't seen anything on TF shelves that I haven't been seeing since around mid summer it seems like.

bmorr · 01-10-2012, 01:33 PM

one of my toysrus' had the Prime toys, but they aint worth $14 a piece.

transformer8448 · 01-10-2012, 10:02 PM

No sign of HA Soundwave. I am going to skip TF Prime altogether. Have my hands full with Classics, Henkei, Universe, United and Generations, not to mention the over expensive third party add-ons and figures.

Optimus Vader · 01-12-2012, 08:52 AM

Except for Cliffjumper I'm passing on the entire Prime line. Bummer that HA Soundwave hasn't been hitting stores yet... I hope he doesn't become the impossible to find end of line figure.

From what I heard (could be a rumor at this point) Feb is when the rest of the figures are coming out. If I can find the thread on TFW I will quote some of it.

Cliff looks badass, I mean c'mon, he's the Rock! I'm totally into the Prime line. Can't wait for the voyagers, especially Bulkhead.

Worse comes to worst, discounters (Marshalls, TJMaxx-Where I found HA Mudflap) should get them in.

trebleshot · 01-12-2012, 09:42 AM

I'm probably going to go all-in on the Prime line once it hits in full. I haven't seen one yet that makes me go "Ugh!"

Same thing happened to me with Animated.

So that's where I should have looked. I was never able to find HA Mudflap, so my HA Skids is kind of lonely.

I honestly hope that HA Soundwave doesn't suffer the same fate and gets a normal mass release, along with his deluxe version (and the deluxe version of Leadfoot). I hate going to Marshall's and TJ Maxx. The ones around me are worse than K-Mart.

Darkspeed · 01-12-2012, 02:52 PM

Still no sign of the Prime figures here in the UK still... No real sign of anything really, every store is still struggling to shift the last of the PCC and DOTM lines. Looks like I will have to go online if I wanna pick up the Prime stuff, as well as Sky Shadow and Junkheap.

Even though I don't like the Movieverse stuff much, I'd be interested in seeing HA Soundwave up close, see what I make of him.

BlackMagnus · 01-12-2012, 02:56 PM

^You guys still haven't got the new wave of Generations yet?

Not in my home town, no... Hell, our local TRU still stocking some last wave ROTF line, this is how badly stocked they are! ^^; I'm probably gonna have to hit up the convention in Birmingham in March to grab what I need, which means they'll jack the prices up.

the toy sections at mine only consist of two 12 foot shelves, and maybe some of the back walls if im lucky. I hate going to them cause i feel out of place there, or feeling weird being in the toy section to begin with.

KM-01X Knight Morpher Commander-X - Third Party Transforming Toys & Accessories Mastermind Creations

Last year, my brother, girlfriend and I went to "Victorias Ultimate Hobby and Toyfair", hosted by CHERRY BOMB TOYS. They had a KM-01X Knight Morpher Commander-X transformer exclusive to the Toyfair AND CBT. Now, thanks to BBTS, you can have one too! This can only be found in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada! But now you all can have one Transformer fans!

On Amazon that is...Ebay has a few lower than him. But than Crankshaft is on the high end too on Ebay....so sad...I remember these coming out and wanting an Acura version of them, but than I totally forgot ugh:P

bmorr · 01-13-2012, 04:26 PM

the sad part is that the newer generations toys blow these out of the water.

BlackMagnus · 01-13-2012, 04:37 PM

I'm pretty sure this has been in stock for a bit at BBTS so, I'm gonna move this over to the Transformer Catch All thread. Thanks for the heads up though Tiberius!

We either you or your brother able to snag one of these shattered glass beauties?

True...dang hopefully I can get the RSX for around 30 or so...spending more than 50 seems way absurd...

This was at a toy show about 2 years ago iirc. Yup, Grimlock is pretty damn nice too. I might be a bit biased though as I'm a Ford guy so... lol

Going from memory-

Hound
Sideswipe
Sunstreaker
Smokescreen
Silverstreak
Rollbar
Swindle
Dead End
Ravage
Battle Ravage
Mirage
Rodimus
Rumble
Prime
Nemesis Prime
Swerve
Shockwave
Prowl
Jazz
Grimlock
Wheeljack
Crankshaft
Ricochet
Decepticharge
Windcharger

there are 3 more but, the names escape me atm. One of my favorite lines, just edged out by Classics. Just.

I've taken pics of some of the ones I have in my collection thread, you should check it out. I have a shot of my Dinobot shelf with Alt Grimlock in there too.

Awesome, way neat, checked Wiki too...I think I would just get the RSX, cause I'm an Acura guy...but we'll see if I can find them. Ugh and here I thought I was almost done buying trans:P
Where's your display?

I don't have a group shot of them all or anything, they are scattered about (both in car mode and robot mode) throughout my shelves. Most of them can be found here, the rest can be seen when I get around to taking pics of the rest of the room. I have displays on 3 out of 4 walls! lol
