Even if their alt modes are nuggets of poop from outer space, I think they look brilliant. Won't buy though, cos I'm interested in transformers...

I paid for overnight shipping so that I could post galleries of the figures before I left for New York tomorrow. If I didn't get them before I went to New York, I wouldn't be able to post galleries of them until next Thursday night. I return from New York next Wednesday. I figured since I was getting them about 3 months in advance that this was still cheaper than buying them off ebay and waiting 10 - 20 days for them to get here from Asia.

It isn't that I doubt ya on this one, Ryan. I know better than that. It's that the link for Prime in the other article doesn't go to what I assume is meant to be Prime's listing @ walmart.com. It instead goes to the official movie site. I also think the Starscream link goes to an error page.

The lesson here, if there is one, is to make sure the links you're going to include in your posts work before you actually post. (This is why I'm glad a bunch of my old posts were lost recently; I know for a fact that some of the links I had included had since died.)

The links don't work on Walmart.com which is why the links to those characters's names link to the previous news article about this.

That makes sense. I've noticed what your talking about myself, so it could be said I could have thought of it myself. Goes to show how sharp I can be at times.

Will Starscream suffer the gold-plastic syndrome? :-?

He shouldnt since he looks to be molded in gold plastic instead of plated with it.

Uh that's what gold plastic syndrome is. The metal flake they add to the gold plastic causes it to be brittle and break easily.

In other news congrats on getting them boss! I wish I could have popped on earlier when they were still for sale. I want Prime sooooo badly.

I wouldn't be so sure of the figures appearing in stores just yet. Commerative edition Soundwave shipped from TRU.com a couple of weeks ago and there are three sightings of him in the sightings thread. It might be a while before they show up in stores.

$30 shipped is not unreasonable for them either. I would have gladly paid that to get this early. :sad:

Besides, now Ryan has bragging rights at ToyFare.

They'll be up in about an hour or so. The two figures were very poseable. And I surprisingly liked them, despite their odd alternate modes. The robot modes are great in my opinion even if I don't particularly care for these being the first movie representations of 2 core characters. Back to the world of galleries I go ...
