I Love It When Target Restocks Their Transformers
I went to Toys R Us the weekend after Botcon to see if they had the new “Power Core Combiner” figures. I found the three 2-packs (one basic-sized figure and his mini-con partner) that make up the first wave there. They looked much better than I though they would. I decided to pass on them though, not because I didn’t like them, but because I had just spent way too much money on toys at Botcon. I could wait until they came out at Target later.
Well, Target restocked this weekend, and they got all of the new deluxe-sized figures in. I got “Hunt For The Decepticons” Jetblade, Sea Attack Ravage and Ironhide. Basically everything but the new Battle Blade Bumblebee, since I’m just not into collecting Bayblebees. I did get the “War For Cybertron” Bumblebee though, because he’s awesome, and the War For Cybertron Optimus Prime. I haven’t completed the War For Cybertron game, but these figures look great.
I picked up the other two figures from the Generations line: Drift and Thrust. I’ll definitely be buying the Blurr repaint and the Dirge remold when they come out. And because they were on clearance for seven bucks each, I bought the “NEST Global Alliance” Tuner Mudflap and Strike Mission Sideswipe. It’s the only Mudflap that I own, and most likely the only one from the Bayformer Twins that I’ll ever own.
Although Target didn’t have the Power Core Combiner 2-packs, they did have the first two 5-packs. I picked up the Aerialbots and the Combaticons. Although it’s a shame that the limbs are considered “drones”, and as such don’t transform into robot modes, the combined modes do look cool. Plus there’s the added bonus of being able to put the limbs on the figures from the 2-packs. And I went back to Toys R Us today to pick up all three of those.

The real Mudflap to own is the Human Alliance figure. It’s size and features more than make up for its questionable design.
I really like the Human Alliance figures, but I can’t justify the cost. Not that they’re not worth it at their price point ($30), but I don’t normally collect the Movie figures. I’ve picked up the scout-sized ones and some of the deluxes, but not the larger ones. I definitely will if I ever see them on clearance, but they seem to sell pretty well.
Death to the movie line! … Did you take pics of the WFC toys ya bought?

War For Cybertron Bumblebee is sitting on top of the Power Core Combiner set in the second image. I opened him before it occurred to me to take pics… War For Cybertron Optimus was still in his package, he’s in the group shot. I’ll take proper pictures of them later.
