I've seen the first two and I saw Dead End on friday but didn't buy him because I'm stupid crying He's the one I really want. Hope you have luck on getting what you want.

No problems here. Already got everyone I wanted ( Smokescreen, Sideswipe, Silverstreak, Hound, Dead End, Tracks, & Meister ). All I'm waiting for right now is Alternators Grimlock and Windcharger, but according to most news sites, they are going to be delayed.

Sweet! That Hound looks gorgeous! Any desire for Swindle and/or Ravage?

I'll pick up swindle but Ravage looks so horrible I can't warrent it.

Its a real shame as I really like tracks and the car looks great but sticking on a head for a character like that is just pathetic.

Then again I pick up the binaltech ones.

www.bigbadtoystore.com has some of the ones past Smokescrean and sideswipe up.

i'm able to find them, it just takes a looooooong time for the store to stock them ^.^;; it really ticks me off when i hear other people are finding the newest ones, and i still can't find some of the older ones. *sigh* i'm just happy that i finally found hound. whee heart

Don't know how things are Stateside, but here in Australia, finding Alternators is a real struggle. I've managed to pick up a Smokescreen, Sideswipe, & Hound so far, but that's about it. I have seen one or two units of Silverstreak and Dead End, but I'm not interested in them. Tracks was supposedly released (in his blue colours), but I've never seen one actually on the shelves. A small assortment of Meisters was put out in one store, but I didn't have the fifty bucks to score it at the time, so it looks like I've missed out on that one too! It's really frustrating, 'cause I find Sideswipes absolutely everywhere...!

I hear ya! I hate the technique of 'recolours', as I find it to be a real cheat on the collectors - surely it's not too much to ask that each and every character be original...! And I really don't know about Decepticons being reformatted into everyday automobiles - yes, I know, there were the Stuntacons and Battlechargers, but the likes of Ravage and Shockwave?! Hmm... If Ravage absolutely had to be remade as an Alternator, then wouldn't a Jaguar have been a better model of vehicle to customize? I don't know...
