that's some goooood pricing. Prowl is a steal @ 12.99. He's one of my favorites from the TRU line.

(not including the 1st 5) My favs are:

Jazz
Prowl
Skywarp
Thundercracker
Red Alert

Oh yeah, the wench running the register at TRU was a royal pain. The toys weren't ringing up as 50% off.

me: "whoa whoa time out, those are supposed to be 50% off due to the green tag sale."
wench: "no they're not"
me: "umm...I ran them under the price checker and they are 50% off"
the wench brought over backup and the backup corrected the problem. Then I heard her mutter "sheesh, guess he had a shopping list tonight"

me: :airon:

here's some news (credit to Allspark)

(Alternators)
- Six new molds in 2006
- Four redecos in 2006
- confirmed they will re-release older hard to find characters, and that retailers like the new packaging and are back on board with the line for next year
- Optimus Prime as a red Dodge Ram SRT10 pickup. Biggest Alternator to date, but will still be at the $19.99 price point. Out May 2006. Was a compromise...Hasbro wanted a truck, Takara said they don´t have trucks in Japan but they´d make it if it was Prime so the Japanese fans would be willing to buy it.
- Mirage as a Fort GT. Colors not finalized but will be blue with white racing stripes. June 06.
- looking into doing motorcycles and jets


(Exclusives)
- The Universe Constructicons mystery solved: These were going to be on Hasbro Toy Shop, but are now a Target exclusive out in March 2006, price TBD. This is not finalized yet, but if Target falls through they will go back to being a Hasbro Toy Shop exclusive, so they WILL come out no matter what.
- G1 Astrotrain is a Hasbro Toy Shop exclusive, out December 05, price TBD
- The Seacons still don´t have a home yet, but they´re still trying to find a home for them. They worked hard to find the molds and want to see them released.
