Just a heads up to the other TF Alternator fans, Walmarts should be getting, if they have not already, the new shipments of Alternators in, which include the new silver car and the black car.  The names have escaped me at the moment.

I was also hoping for Hound, but either way, I will be picking these up the moment I find them!

I want Hound as well and I can't hardly wait for the new models to come out like that neat RX-8 and that Blue Tracks!

Yeah, I saw the silver car yesterday. I was thinking it might be fun to start collecting these, but then I think about my wallet and I pass.

If you did start collecting this line you wouldn't regret it, they are great - and yes in my opinion worth the $35.  No other toy line has come close to the detail of both car and robot!

I hit two WalMarts this week, one in Mississauga, and one in Oakville, and neither had the new Alternators.  

Does anyone know if there is a Transformer sightings page similar to joesightings.com?

Found SilverStreak and Hound, didn't see DeadEnd so I don't know if he is in this wave or not.

BTW - Hound is very cool, probably the best so far!

I knew these guys were going to show up sooner or later and hence I didn't jump the gun to get them from the States.

Anyways, I found Hound and Silverstreak yesterday after viewing this post.  Man, Hoist just rocks.  No Dead End yet.  Silverstreak is almost a carbon copy of Smokescreen. Booo. lol.  But this line is diffently worth collecting.  I do wish Alternators were cheaper so parents can by them for kids (regardless of how a pain in the butt transforming these guys the first time.)

All I know is a checklist

http://www.bigbot.com/transformers-reissues/

Some of the newer ones look like re-paints. Sigh...

Waiting for the new Meister. I wonder if they'll rename him Jazz when he comes over...

Also... do G.I. Joes fit inside the Alternators? Are they 1:18 scale?
