I figure, like most Walgreens exclusives, you'll be able to just wander into any Walgreens in a few months and they'll just be sitting there on shelves.

I picked mine up at the Walgreens in downtown Seattle. They never get ANY exclusives so I’m going to optimistically say that if I found a set there, they will be everywhere.

(They still have a few as if this writing if any Seattle people are hunting.)

Guys I really thought about it and want to help but I’m mildly poor and way too busy to reliably commit. I’ll still gladly give away the autobot from the set to anyone that sends me a self-addressed stamped envelope.

I didn’t appreciate the size difference until now between the Wei Jiang and MP-36. That’s one big bot.

That Masterpiece Barricade. As great as Optimus and Bumblebee are I've owned a bunch of them over the years. But Barricade? I think this might be a getter.

The terrorcons were gifted to me as a kid, but I never got the whole gestalt happening, looks like the power of the primes line might allow that - are they combiners?

Are we sure PotP got a new DCPI, and didn't just inherit TR's? I thought that's what happened with the CW/TR transition.

According to the woman who manages the toy section at the Target near here, it is a new DCPI. Looks like they'll get them overnight and have them on the pegs when the store opens tomorrow.

Yeah, and I was looking forwards to owning a G1-looking Jazz for once. I guess I'm going to wait for the reviews to make the final decision on that one. And that probably counts for the rest of the line except few big names (Elita-1, Rodimus).

Also, I'm not sure PMs are working? Sent you a couple but got no reply.

Yeah, the raptor isn’t perfect by a long shot (boy are they hiding shots of that rear end for all they’re worth) but from what you guys showed me of the original toys, the animation models and the challenge they were up against, I can’t really see how anyone not love the poo poo out of that. Even I’m sorely tempted to get him (and the other two) after seeing that group pic.

Is this likely across the US or are you guys still regional to where these were found?

With the context that dinobot's animation model and transformation is essentially physically impossible, this is surprisingly well done in beast mode. And his robot mode is basically perfect. Also, eyelaser bits and a golden disc!
