GIMME THOSE 2-PACKS!

That's the one I want most. Not as Grimlock, though, but as Abominus fodder. Oh how I wish they'd repaint those figures more... or rather more widely release the repaints they did make...

Terrorsaur-Strafe is interesting, if just for the novelty of a BW figure getting a re-release nearly 20 years later. But of course they had to put a Bumblebee in it.

these are also appearing in UK Asda's (which i think are owned by walmart) not to keen on them though, look very plastic and just not to my tastes

This has me hoping that they redo Windrazor as Strafe. With all the TFP Terrorcon repaints out there, I think there's a certain amount of customizing to be had in regards to what the combined form looks like. Almost replaces scramble combining, in a way.

I'm all for more TFP terrorcons repaints Though I've still got a long way to go before getting all them.

Getting the Slug/Stinger 2 pack might prove interesting in terms of value since you are getting a deluxe there and not a basic

Sorry, with all the crap that Hasbro has released for the AOE line, I have only bought 5 figures for my own collection. Voyager Optimus and Hound (which just feel like large deluxes), and deluxes Crossairs, Drift, and Strafe. I don't think I will be keeping Strafe either since the Dinobots were barely characters in the movie. And non of these figures felt like I got my money's worth. I haven't even seen voyager Galvatron anywhere. Just a lot of these clogging up shelves.

These were released in the UK over a week ago, maybe longer. Why are there never any news posts about when these things get released at UK retail?

It did get posted.

And remember that even though we get fans from all over the world, the site is still US-centric.

Whicha re you referring to? If you are referring to the 2 packs, yes there was news about it on this very site

must be nice having a wal-mart that will actually carry something other than Dino Sparklers

Must be good having a shop that has something more than Wave 1. Seriously, we're stuck at Wave 1 in this shithole. "Best" part is that there are NO Generations figures here.

Also, that 3-pack with Strafe Bumblebee and STinger has just been released, also as an ASDA exclusive.





As well as wave 2 of the Construct-Bots Dinobot(s) riders.

The two-pack looks interesting enough. I won't be getting it though. Those Kreos look awful though.

Which 2-pack are you referring to? Also, they're not Kre-Os, they're Construct-Bots Dinobot riders.

We do get generations, they're just exclusives to toyrus and we'll be lucky to get wave two. Especially considering that the restocking of the evolution 2-packs is spotty at best.

Also, that stinger...is that a different mold then the other exclusives?

Sorry, I meant 3-pack. And I don't really know or care about what those Construct-Bots Dinobot Riders are.

Wait. Generations is Toys R Us Exclusive? Well shit. Because in this country there is only one Toys R Us. And it's pretty crap.

I know that feeling, my walmart, and I've counted, has got 8 IDW Legends Primes, 1 IDW Legends Starscream, 3 AOE RID Crosshairs, 4 AOE RID Strafes, 3 Leader class AOE Generations Prime, 6 AOE Grimlocks, 2 AOE Hounds, 5 Dino Sparkers, and 10 or so misc AOE Contruct-bots....

God I hate my walmart.

Best bet is to import at this point, that's what I'll be doing once Windblade and co get released.

Agreed.

Although, these figures are actually fairly easy to do yourself, if you ever wanted to take a dip into customizing. A micro-head paint brush, Meijer brand craft paints for .94 a bottle, spray them with a rattlecan in a nice basecoat of your choice, and


Doublecross (yeah, wrong faction...)


Bristleback & Birdbrain


Slog with "Art Studio"... Me thinks Birdbrain might object though...

3 pack Stinger and single pack Stinger are (slightly different) Knockout repaints, Slug 2 pack Stinger is a repaint of ROTF Sideways.

Ah thanks, surprised they never just repainted bumblebee.

If 5 Below still has these, I may be tempted to try a few myself.

You know, it's really surprising when those three two-packs are some of the few figures I'm excited for from AOE. Mainly because they're old figures and not from the movie.

I can't wait to see what Legends Class Coke and Sand Candle look like!

You should be happy. Over here we don't have ANY of the IDW stuff. Or the 2nd wave.

We just got Galvatron and Hound here in Quebec, Canada. Drift is nowhere to be seen (was never spotted) and that generations armada homage wave (starscream, minicon team) came and went in one week. We also never have masterpieces or platinum editions due to language laws.

.. but we have free healthcare, so I cant complain too too much

Earlier today, we reported that Seibertron, himself, found the newly released Wal*Mart AOE exclusives at a local store in the Chicagoland area, which you can see here.

Seibertron has taken the time to make a Mini gallery of these items, in packaging, so we can get their UPC info. Why, you ask? Because these are part of Wal*Mart's upcoming seasonal reset and most, if not all stores, have these sitting in the back room awaiting a chance to be stocked on shelves and pegs. However, since they're on hand and active in the computer, you can buy them now. With the aid of the UPC info, the toy department associate can help you get them out of the back. (However, not every employee will be able to or be willing to help, so be polite when asking and try someone else if they won't. Manners go a long way in the collector world.)

NOTE: Sometimes Wal*Mart's computer system modifies the UPC for internal stock keeping purposes. If the full UPC doesn't work, give the UPC with the last number removed. The computer should be able to recognize it, then.

If you mean Voyager Hound, you are up on every Walmart, Target, and Meijer in thirty miles of the city of Indianapolis.

How much is one two-pack? I hope not a crazy price like $29.99.

No, less than that for sure since the 3 pack is 29.99$ in canada

As stated in the original news story, each 2 pack is $14.99.

Hahahaha! I didn't realize that would should up so clearly. You know, if they made Transformers that turn into baseball caps, shoes, memory sticks and the like, I bet you a scented candle Transformer isn't far off.

Transformers that transform into baseball caps? Show me.

Not to mention every mass retail store outside of TRU in the Salt Lake City metro area. I've seen Voyager Hound and Galvatron at TRU, once or twice, but aside from ONE Target that had Wave 2 deluxes briefly, I haven't seen anything past Wave 1 of Deluxes or Voyagers. Every single Target and Walmart still has a bazillion Power Attackers and Dino Sparkers. And like 16 Deluxe Crosshairs. Surprised he's the shelfwarmer of this movie.

And, I kid not, my local Walmart has about 10-15 Evasion Primes on the shelf. They're never going to put anything new out if they can't sell those. Ugh.

Behold, Capbots...

Anybody else spotted the Target exclusive Prime and Grimlock set with voyager FoC Grimlock and DOTM Deluxe Prime done in obscene amounts of chrome? I found some yesterday and was blown away by the cost. It was tagged on-shelf for $16.99 for a deluxe AND a voyager.

I've seen a bunch at my local Target, but they're still full price. If they go down, I might consider one.

What's the full price on it? I check my local stores regularly and this is the first I've seen it.

Well, here in the U.S., they're $29.99 for the set, which isn't bad at all, if you consider a Voyager is about $23 and a Deluxe around $10-14. So it saves a few dollars. I just have both molds, so I wouldn't consider paying for them a second time unless they were less expensive.

Any idea when those Wal Mart 2 packs will hit Walmart.com? That's my only chance of getting them for a decent price.

These 2 packs r so cool! I cant wait to get my hands on all 3! To have repaints of figures 10 years & older is so great. The only thing is I live in Australia, does anyone know if they'll be avaliable here?

Actually we do get the IDW legend stuff, like the prime and starscream, the asda near me is chock full of them (For £6, opposed to the exclusive legions £3), as is the toy r us. We sometimes get the IDW deluxes...Just not with the comics.

Neither do I

I'm buying those JUST for my TFP Predacon collection.

I know these are not the most wanted products from AOE but...

I just spotted the AOE Hexbugs at my local ToysRus on Decarie Blvd in Montreal, Qc, Canada.

The prices listed are in Canadian dollars. And also, I wanted to point out that they are found in the transformers section, thus taking up shelf space alloted to transformers.
