Thanks for the heads up! This was the only Mcquarrie figure I'm missing at the moment and was just able to order 1. And here I thought I was going to have to pay out the nose for one on feebay.

Yeah, I was up early this week and noticed that Transformers: Cybertron was on Cartoon Network, so I checked it out.  Maybe it was just a bad episode, but I didn't care for it, and couldn't keep watching it.  I guess I am maybe too used to the old days .  I think I might have seen an episode of RiD as well, but it was quite awhile back.

Aside from actually locating the toys in stores when I was a Kid (which is how I discovered Transformers) it was the comic mini series and the extended comic series that defined Transformers for me growing up. The same thing with He-Man but that's another thread. It took me a bit to get into either cartoon after reading the comics. I like the new line, don't get me wrong, but for me G1 is what Transformers was and megatron will always be a Walther P-38. The new stuff though is starting to bring me around though. I did start picking up the RID line. I just never liked the idea of the characters changing designs. Slight upgrades to the toys sure but complete overhauls drove me nuts. Then again, I'm old. On another not, I dig those Heroes packs. Those are pretty sweet.

It looks like wave 4 is "D" and 5 is "E" if I read it correctly. If that's correct it may be awhile before these hit if wave 5 is due in September. Maybe Christmas or, God forbid, these hit during Black Friday. I'm not going to worry too much about it. I plan on preordering cases from here on out for 30th. Not so much to get the UGH but to make it easier to keep getting Mcfigs.

I've given up hitting retail for these. Since Hasbro pretty much packs each fig 1 per case anymore anyway I'm just pre-ordering online. I preordered wave 4 and 5 actually because I'm tired of wasting gas to find the mcfigs. The extra cost for the figs outweighs what I'd spend in gas. In some cases higher shipping just balances it out. I figure let the scalpers fight in the aisles or leave more for those who can't order online, I'll just sit at home and get what I need and if I find anything at retail, bonus. As long as Hasbro is packing most waves at 1 ea it just makes sense unless you've got the solid hookup. But I'm not an army builder so this approach really works for me. 

I'd completly forgotten about this. I just recently lucked into the last lego falcon they released and I'd have to sell that off to be able to get this. What do you think, would you keep the original trilogy edition #4504 or would you sell it off to get this? I'm curious because the 4504 has an interior and I think that makes it more fun. However, a large falcon like this would be pretty sweet.

I'm not sure if this is an insight into what may be going on or not. My nephew recently got a job at Wal-mart as one of those stalkers that go around following you because they think your stealing s***t. I asked if he could see if any of the stores he was training at could see if they were going to put out any of the 30AC figures and all of them basically said the same thing, as long as the pegs are stocked they probably won't even be ordering any of them since the ordering process is triggered by sales. That said I knew which Wal-Marts not to check that night to see if anything was going to be stocked. So I got lucky at the one and only Wal-Mart I hit that night. Here's the thing though, they had about 8 cases of star wars figures and only two were 30AC. I took 1 whole case, which I believe is wave 2 since it had 1 each of the mcboba and mcstormie along with no other duplicates and the extra boba and stormie from the other case for openers. Of the remaining 6 cases all were Saga so I didn't pay much attention to them other than 4 were 1 wave and 2 were another. The stock person though was actually nice and didn't mind me going through the pallet of stuff so I thought that was odd but welcome. It just sounds like Wal-Mart's not going to be much of an option for 30AC until near the middle/end of the waves.

Yeah ! Here you go ! I know I want these !

I'd love a set of these too but unfortunatly there are none in my area and they all seem to be on ebay. They say these were limited to 3,000pcs and I find that hard to believe with an exclusive, Hasbro figure. If I can't find one at retail I'm not messing with them. They seem to go for about $10-$15 on ebay right now. Something just doesn't seem to add up on these. Limited to 3,000 but no one is really jumping on them on ebay? They have to be more common or else no one really seems to care about these.
