100% sold out. They're expecting a restock in October and they're the only gig around that doesn't do pre-orders.

Market saturation is expected by November. These things will appear by September.

The West Coast seems to get all of the Wal-Mart stuff first ... and by WEEKS over every one else.













oh ... at this time, I'd also like to say that I'm leaving HAN. It's been fun you guys.

I'd have to say, "yes". The figure is desired around the world.


Transformers is a HUGE business. It's to the point where toys on the shelf are instantly worth more than the MSRP on a 2nd hand market (eBay).


On top of it, online toystores have "agents" working for them. Where ever these figures appear, these "agents" will purchase the entire display and ship them to BBTS, TFSource, etc for a fee. BBTS will purchase up to 500, then the "agent" payout is finished.


We should really team on this. I'll buy whatever I find, when I find it for you guys. Just let me know who's interested.

When something is released, I'll be hitting 4 Wal-Marts a day until I find it.

:usa: Wal-Mart's distribution is a joke. Whenever these appear, just grab em, return em later.







Quick note about Mirage (official review coming on TFW) ... guys, this figure is better than the original.

It's absolutely rock solid. The demo version has a slightly looser waist, but every other joint, cog, and flippy piece will not flop. (especially the foot spoiler)

The "26 Elf" and the white / red stripes (topside) are no longer stickers. They're painted on.

The weapons are tight. the rocket launcher holds snug to the tire rail.

The tire rail is made of metal, finished in black chrome. On the original, it's a dark piece of metal only. No finish.

This is definitely reversed engineered. The gun has more girth to it.

The box is extremely glossy. The texture is identical to the Encore Megatron's finish.



This figure is of extremely high quality. A+ stuff so far.

i hated wal-mart and target exclusives around my area. they are never consistant.

toy's r us are a hit/miss depending if it is "corrupted"

k/b toys has always been good, but i doubt they are around anymore.

I'm down with the HAN-TF Buyers Club. Drew, if you post heads-up dates on when things are supposed to be released, I can make it out to Wal-Marts and try to pick up for the group.

And why do you give me the :eh: whenever I talk about selling? You mean people wouldn't like me at TFW?
