The next time I'm at Target and see an Alternator that I want I'm going to buy it and then return one of the extra Skids or Tracks that I have. :hsugh:

BTW, I was at the mall this weekend and the KB Toys only had 3 of the Micromaster Aerialbots left. :eek3:

speaking of mirage, has the classics mirage surfaced in stores yet? i haven't seen him, nor astrotrain yet. nor jetfire, obviously.

edit > i want to get an airbrush kit and do this to my megatron (from last TF thread):

Astrotrain is out now for sure.

Mirage and Grimlock shouldn't appear until December. Same with Jetire.

More and more of these surface. This is the only version with the removed wings though.

I bought classic astrotrain and bumblebee at walmart yesterday just to see what the fuss was about. I still think the g1s are of higher quality, but i guess these are cool.

i agree. G1 > classics

they did an excellent job with rodimus and mirage, but the rest IMO could be better, even starscream. he looks a little goofy and cheap.
