Nothing says "We don't really care" like putting the wrong guy on the packaging.
Still, nice price. -------------------- |

If Walmart dropped it They probably didn't want to spend the extra cash to commission a new CHOP art, still they could have hue swapped the RTS art. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/icon-fire.gif)

Online only? Well, at least it didn't turn out to be a Black Friday exclusive.
-------------------- You're turning into the real-life version of that little devil that hovers over people's shoulders and tells them to do horrible things. I'm not liking this development. Lesson of the day, when we go on some crazy quest, don't let Fnu Aw hold the Dues Ex Magical Artifact. Right, that's it. Tomorrow, I'm painting a giant pentagram on the floor, then buying a goat and sacrificing it to Fnu Aw, Lord of All Evil. |

With G2 Megatron coming to TRU, this is a fine thing indeed. Now all we need are some redecoes of Starscream and Ramjet.
Better yet, let's have a G2 version of FOC Grimlock! -------------------- If You Even Dream Of Beating Me, You'd Better Wake Up And Apologise.

I really like the way those are packaged. The art choice makes very little sense, though.

Pretty sure FOC Prime is on there to imply a connection to the current media, whether or not said connection exists.
Same way Darth Maul shows up on current Star Wars packaging whether or not he was in the same movie (or trilogy even) of the character actually on the card, and Roadblock and Snake Eyes are on all the Retaliation packaging. Non-specific character art to grab the eye through brand/character familiarity and all. If this set was originally intended for Wal-Mart, that makes perfect sense. |
