I've got the (Voyager-sized) Prime and Starscream, which I picked up for far too much money at Universal Studios Singapore, because I got over-excited at seeing them on the shelves. Massive shock there, a product that's meant to be cheap being sold at eye-watering prices just because it's an "exclusive" at an attraction...
I've also got the Prowl and Jetfire, which I ended up getting from Macula on Twitter when he was in China - that was a lucky find. They're all pretty decent, and Starscream - despite being the same mold as Jetfire - is better than Jetfire; I think it's mostly because of the paint job. And Prowl I think is the most fun to fiddle with of the four I have.
So yeah, I am definitely wanting this Shockwave - especially since he's not the Megatron repaint I was expecting him to be. Sideswipe I would if he was cheap enough, but having Prowl I'll probably not bother. Now to just find the bastard things...

Phil will tell Ralph when Phil knows. Cyber has been elusive at UK import and foreign exporters I trust in Phil's power! I must have this line! -Ralph |

Good lord, that thing is more accurate than most classics.
If only he had knees, he'd be absolutely PERFECT.

Wow. It looks great. MP Shockers was out of my price range so hopefully I can get one. Shockwave is my favourite TF character and that looks fab.

Doesn't it just! That is an absolutely lovely looking toy. Some serious Shelf Presence there.

Captain! There be whales here!
But aye, that looks great. A damn pity about the knees, but even so, yes, I want it. And seeing it next to "Masterpiece" Shockwave... really justifies my decision for not having bought the latter. It's so much more Shockwave than the MP version.

Checked two walgreens. Local, and one in a town way out of the way. Got there and found out it was closed down (brand new building, too!). And their walmart was almost completely stripped of transformers.
So... bust for today.

We appreciate your efforts, CJ. Anyone would think Texas is quite a large place...

I still got two or three more to check before a rest for two or three weeks (they restock very slowly. And I've still never come across the clones).

I kind of regret not grabbing the cyber series toys I saw in Walgreens, but the price and mostly the lack of suitcase space eventually made my mind up. |

I already bought them online a long time ago.
I just keep looking to prove to myself that was the right decision, and so far, yeah. Giving Walgreens mainline exclusives like that is the dumbest thing ever.
