Yep. Saw these in my local store. Very cool!
Ok, so here's a story. While reading up and watching various reviews for the new Devastator toy that I want so bad, but ultimately decided to wait for the Japanese version in December because of the better paint job and whatnot, I stumbled across a sweet Optimus Prime toy that people were also raving about. This toy was released a year or so ago, so it's not sold in most retail stores. Long story short, because I held off on Devastator, I pulled the trigger on Optimus Prime. Ugh...I cannot get into collecting Transformers. Between amiibos, Legos, and videogames (since I don't play them, just buy them) I cannot get into this. So, just Optimus and Devastator. That's it. After that I'm out.

So, I got that optimus prime toy I was talking about, and I have to say it is fricking amazing. Seriously, this is the best looking optimus prime toy I've ever seen. It looks like he walked right out of the cartoon. The transformation can be a little tricky, but not terrible, and again, in vehicle mode it looks amazing. My daughter of course wants to immediately start playing with it, so I have to keep her at bay somewhat. However, I gave her an older Japanese transformer I bought years ago and she's been playing with it. She loves transforming it back and forth, and honestly, I won't care if she breaks it.
I also recently bought the entire Transformers animated series (80s one) on DVD. I had some Best Buy reward certificates that needed to be spent, so figured what the heck. My daughter and I have been watching each episode and are enjoying it. She loves to sing the opening theme song and knows all the names of the different transformers. It's too cool. I know she will flip when she meets the girl transformers (Arcee) and so I went ahead and bought her an Arcee toy. Holding onto it for now to give to her when she's had a chance to get rid of some of her older toys that she no longer plays with. Then I'll surprise her with it.
Now I'm just waiting for Devastator in December. Man, I am a sucker for nostalgia.

Too cool! Love it. My daughter loved it when I showed her the video. How much of that cake is actually edible?

When I saw this thread was updated, I knew it was about BB-8.

Ok, I caved and ordered a BB-8. Picking it up on the way home from work tonight. Early birthday present for me I first ordered from bed bath and beyond, but saw this morning that my Best Buy had them, so I ordered from Best Buy. I will be canceling the one I ordered from BB&B unless anyone here wants one that can't get one. Then I can sell you the one from BB&B for cost + shipping. Let me know as it's getting canceled this evening. Thanks!

The BB-8 is appealing and my son's been bugging me for years about getting a Spero, which I know would sit w/ the rest of the damn cheap drones copters we have... But I think I can resist, for now.
BUT, the damn Star Wars Hot Wheels. Trying... I have loved Hot Wheels since I was a kid and they gave them w/ a free tank of gas at Chevron in the 70's. I'm partial to genuine Red Line cars too.

Anyone into vintage Micro Machines? I got a bunch and would rather they go to someone who'd actually appreciate them.

Sorry, but a Prime that turns into a train? Can't bite.
But I was a fan of the headmasters, so kinda excited to see them come back.
