You picked up Ratchet? He isn't a figure you typically see out there any more. Where'd ya pick him up at? I'm curious!

I posted this yesterday. It seems that the post didn't take. So I'll repost!

I had a package waiting for me yesterday! Ah, happy feeling.

Brimstone has an awesome metallic blue/green paint job. The metallic green paint is my favorite part of this figure. His face reminds me of a gobot, but I just can't remember who.
Crankstart has a nice shiny black paint job. I got him to rival the next figure I got. I also love his dual machine guns.
Firetrap has an awesome set of hood mounted machine guns. He also has a plow. So on those snowy winter days, the Autobots will be lucky to have him to plow him out! I think he needs a repaint as Snow King. What is really neat is that in robot mode the machine guns swivel around towards his hands and creates a great illusion that he is dual wielding them.
Last but not least, a clearance Generations Cliffjumper arrived with that package. I decapitated his right hand and stole the blaster out of his left. Bumblebee is whole again!
I figured that wasn't worth a picture. Too bad, I now have a case fresh Cliffjumper still tied to the plastic - handless and weaponless.
I told myself I wouldn't get any movieverse figures since they don't fall into the classics line. However each of these had something that just popped at me. I'll probably sell them in a year. But, for now they are great!

Derailing this thread in 3, 2, 1...
San Diego? My old stomping grounds. I grew up there and went to junior & high school out there. I lived off of Pacific Highway in Point Loma for the longest time. Then we moved onto Camulous (sp?) still in Point Loma. Eventually, my family and I moved up to Escondido (still have family there).
I need to head back there soon. I miss San Diego. My girlfriend and I want to plan a vacation that coincides with Comiccon (sp?).
Getting back on track 3, 2, 1...
I'd say they are pretty rare with DOTM taking over the shelves. It might get real hard to find this line of figures. Warpaths are getting a premium online. Overpriced to $20-30 on average. I don't know how rare the others are.
I only have one Target in the area that still has RTS/Generations stocked. The rest of my stores don't keep them on the shelves.
I'd buy them all, but then again I already own them.

There's talk that Hasbro will be redistributing all 3 of these in larger quantities once the Generations line picks back up again this fall. Along with a couple new figures Junkheap and Sky Shadow!PrimeDirective wrote:Nothing right now, but I'm going hunting a little bit tomorrow. Hoping to find Generations Wheeljack, Thundercracker, and Warpath.
