Head to your Walmarts!

Hoo mamma!

Ooh, grey Jazz!

OUTTA MY WAY, HUGGERS!!!

*starts shoving and punching Transfans in the faces*

'Bout time. Hope they hit saturation quickly.

Mine sucks -- better to make the hour drive and invade yours!

The Christmas shoppers, they be pillagers! Best just to stay put, or drive the other way

*Paw paw*

Well, dang. To nab, or not to nab Goth Soundwave...

So, anyone have any idea when we may expect Rodimus, Arcee and the remaining Animated releases?

Here you go: http://tfwiki.net/wiki/Paw_Paw

Wow, fantastic news!

HOT DAMN!

I know, Spark, Paw Paw is a fantastic place.

Is it sad that all I really want Soundwave for is Ratbat?

It's entirely rational. I mean... he's a keytar.

HOLY HUGGING JIVE BALLS

NEED SO HARD

Is that where those bears come from?

I'm more interested in that Grimlock there.

I like the look of Jazz and Soundwave but I have those molds already and I don't want them enough to buy them again especially with limited funds. The card artwork for both do look awesome though.

Hooray, ES Soundwave (and Ratbat, more notably) for Christmas. Jazz, I don't care about so much. The original is fine.

Really, the best news here is that they are in fact mass retail releases - no exclusive stickers on these guys.

So they release them in the heart of the Christmas buying season so not only do eagle eyed fans have a chance at them, but also clueless parents who will eagerly snap up anything Transformers too. Hence, little chance of pegwarming...

*looks through Longview* Hasbro, you magnificent bastards. I read your book! *holds up AllSpark Almanac*

<readies for a long expedition> Now, granted, I can go without these two, but if they are here, so too will soon be Arcee and Rodimus! THE HUNT IS ON

Definitely getting the Soundwave just for Ratbat.

Randy

It's the only reason I'm searching for these two...

To Sewercuse? No thanks... Even them having the only remaining Arthur Treachers that's less than four hours away isn't argument enough!!

meh... so so repaint of so so toys. Pass.

wow for the first time in a while I'm genuinely excited about something new. I've haven't bought anything in a while because I'm a burnt on movie designs, and there any really been anything "new" out in a while. this is a very good thing

I wonder what the case break down on there are? Hasbro normally puts three figures per case. I shall have to pop in to walmart and check after work tonight

Good to see these guys are finally starting to get released.

These guys really continue my trend of preferring Animated figures in their repainted forms...Jazz really looks even cooler to me than before, when stripped of his G1 deco. Both are snazzy, and some variety in the Hasbro offerings is much appreciated. I like different styles to be available at the same time...

yessssss Now all I'm waiting for Rodimus and blackout

Whoa!

Arthur Treacher's still exists?!

If I can find it, I guess $10 for a Ratbat accessory isn't too bad considering what we pay for fan add-on kits. The Soundwave will be a bonus. I would pass, but I thought having the Soundwave toy that could hold his musical instruments was pretty cute, so I don't mind adding to that.

Not sure if my fondness for the Jazz mold will be enough considering he's a random color scheme in a toyline that I've pretty much moved on from. I'll probably still at least get Arcee and Rodimus though.

It's not random. It' s Animated Jazz in movie colors; basically the inverse of Target exclusive movie Jazz.

That said, it's not that eye-catching, either.

Yeah theres like 2 of them, and they haven't cleaned their grease traps since 95

Hopefully, I'll be able to find these. Ratbat will immediately go with my normal Animated Soundwave and Laserbeak, while the repaints both get Shattered Glass symbols plastered on them.

Now, theres an idea!

I'm probably gonna have soundwave hold ratbat and activators prime precariously hold laserbeak by the neck.

Here I come Electrostatic Soundwave, or as I'm going to call you, Logos Prime!

Man, that's a great idea. It's a much better idea, anyway, than shelling out for a Galaxy Force Soundblaster. Oy.

(Also, better than OWNING GF Soundblaster. OY.)

As much as I dislike aspects of GF Soundwave/blaster, he at least doesn't have the hollow cheap feeling that Animated Soundwave has. But that's about one of the only things GF SW has over him.

Randy

Well, thats a relieif.

not to be off topic, but which arthur treachers is 4 hours from you? The one in the Woodbury Commons?

Also, MMMMMMMM Keytar =]

Why did this thread have to remind me about Arthur Treachers? I used to eat there all the time but now I'd have to go two hours to get to one. Very cold right now...

Actually 5, but Cuyahoga Falls OH (Cleveland's general area is about 4-1/2; not sure about some of those other towns)

Liverpool NY's just north of Syracuse, about 1-1/4 hours east of here...
("Here" being Rochester, with NV being in the Buffalo area)

Our last one closed around 1985 Buffalo lost their last...I think around 2000...

There's an Arthur Treachers not even fifteen minutes from my house, but I've never eaten there because the place seems to radiate palpable sketch. It's one of the only two locations existing in the state of virginia, but I'm almost afraid I'd taking my life into my own hands to eat there

Activators Bumblebee and Optimus redecos are out now too.

http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/a...-retail-168793/

Ho-hum. I do hope that we get at least one more wave after this one with some more exciting repaints (or heck, maybe even a new mold).

I'd go for White Soundwave (call him Sonic Bonanza Soundwave or something) and another Seeker (Ramjet, preferably, or Slipstream if they could do a head remold). Then again, the Ratchet mold is pretty good, so maybe redo him as something, or perhaps Megatron as Cyber Ninja Springer.

I'd much rather have a Highbrow out of Megs. I'm just getting a little sick of having every helicopter repainted into Springer or Blades.

I'd settle for Dirge and Cliffjumper being INCULDED in the waves! As they were co-sales on the FB Grimlock and Soundwave packages.

That megatron redeco looks... I dunno, just wrong.

In the meantime, Still undecided about picking these two up. Haven;t seen them locally, and I really don't want to shell out $13 for a redeco I got for 10.

Still...<waits> Where are you two?

If you're looking for CJ and Dirge, check out some TRUs and/or Kohl's stores. That's where I found them late this summer, and CJ could still be found at a Kohl's I went to as recently as 2 weeks ago. It'll be expensive at Kohl's, though - 12 dollars. It was worth it to me not to track him down on ebay.

Merging the two topics I found both Electrostatic Soundwave and Freeway Jazz, and went to arthur treacher's for the first time since my age was measured in single digits. the tolerances on Soundwave though, not so hot, might have to exchange
