    Yea the TRU in Parramatta was stocked heavily with TF, they had a main display for DOTM figures, and I went to the shelves where they normally have em and bingo.

    Just keep your eyes out, I know that if one store has it, the others are soon to follow. They will sell really quick at that price.

    i was so excited to have found one of these this morning and now i have to return it because the left arm fell right off the moment i removed it from the packaging, the springy pin thing that goes into the grey piece that connects the arm to the body was rattling around, and the break was all jagged and nasty. sigh. something to look out for

    Much better than the movie leaders it seems. Hasbro should invest more in G1 related stuff and Classics.

    From what I have seen in video reviews and such, it doesn't appear so

    If it had fixed the design issues, I would have bought one.

    I haven't transformed my Hot Rod. I don't intend to either coz I don't actually play with my toys. But regarding the spoiler/backpack combo...it's not perfect..but it's a HELLLLLLL of a lot better than my takara. I dunno if it's just MY takara rodimus or not...but my Hasbro one is very good. My one actually plugs in and stays in. But when you start to play and fiddle...then yes, the back pack is prone to coming apart. Which isnt an issue for me anyway as, like I said...I only display my toys...not play with them.

    Is Sparks Firebolt Offshoot a brand new figure? Or is it an upscale/redeco of an existing Targetmaster/Minicon toy?

    My goodness the Takara one looks horrible!

    I'm not into the Masterpiece guys, but the Hasbro one is far superior looking, which seems almost counter-intuitive from what I know of TF toys.
