Hoping mine will magically fix itself in the box somehow.  I did notice the legs on my Target AT-ST legs were much looser then the WM version was and took a bit of work to get it to stand properly.  Shame to hear this one is worse, but hey...I bought this one for the box (to stay sealed in) so I don't really care.

I don't think so.  Hasbro said they're not going this year so why have an exclusive ?

Brian - not sure if it's a warehouse find or another run, but they're the exact same toys that have been reissued a number of time but in this case from TRU.  They're nearly sold out on bbts so might want to move quick.  Not sure of how many they actually had to begin with.

Prime's stacks are hacked and that just bugs me to no end, but you can find longer replacement ones online to fix that.  Soundwave has the double door - I don't mind it but might bug you.  I'd wager you can find them both cheaper if you put some work into it, but its really not that bad of a price especially considering today's increasing toy prices.

Look here for a recolored Soundwave, Blaster & 5 tapes.  That's expensive...

Huh...didn't notice the online only thing.  doubled up with a TF local and got free shipping. 

No need for WM.  joy

I still haven't seen one of these things and I even stopped by the Walmart yesterday.

I saw both sets today - mixed in with the Spiderman stuff but on their own peg.  Picked up the ewoks.
