Title: TF Alternator Fans
Post by: AlleyViper on August 25, 2004, 04:48:29 AM: 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.

Post by: Redmao on August 25, 2004, 09:11:31 AM: 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!

Post by: morgardee on August 25, 2004, 11:24:03 AM: 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.

Post by: akpayne on August 25, 2004, 06:54:40 PM: 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!

Post by: akpayne on August 28, 2004, 09:58:23 AM: 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?

Post by: akpayne on August 29, 2004, 09:41:59 AM: 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!

Post by: Pete The Greek on August 30, 2004, 06:02:03 PM: 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

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

Post by: Jon S. on September 01, 2004, 04:02:32 PM: Also... do G.I. Joes fit inside the Alternators? Are they 1:18 scale?
Title: TF Alternator Fans
Post by: Pete The Greek on September 01, 2004, 04:56:53 PM: 1:24 scale.
Title: TF Alternator Fans
Post by: Jon S. on September 02, 2004, 01:32:55 AM: Does anyone make a 1:24 posable figure? I'd love to give my Transformer a driver.

Post by: akpayne on September 04, 2004, 04:44:10 PM: Found Dead-End today at Zellers, does anyone now if Tracks (yellow version) was in this wave of figures?
Title: TF Alternator Fans
Post by: Pete The Greek on September 05, 2004, 08:49:39 PM: I don't think Tracks is out yet. Thanks for the update regarding Dead End.
Title: TF Alternator Fans
Post by: Pete The Greek on September 07, 2004, 02:49:10 PM: Found Dead End in a Richmond Hill Wal Mart. The Viper is sweet.

Post by: Redmao on September 09, 2004, 07:34:12 PM: I just got Hound!!! He's really neat! I heard Dead-End was only one per case..
Title: TF Alternator Fans
Post by: Jon S. on September 10, 2004, 12:45:49 PM: I heard Tracks in 1 per case too. (stupid 1 per case!!!)

Any Meister sightings? Also, are they still metal/Japan plastic/Canada? I might pay the import fees to have a metal Meister.

Post by: akpayne on September 10, 2004, 08:00:20 PM: I havn't seen Tracks yet- and I am not sure he is out in Canada yet. As for the others I am not even sure they have started showing up in the US yet.
I love this line of toys.

Post by: Pete The Greek on September 11, 2004, 01:22:58 PM: I have asked a guy in the Staes, Tracks has not been released yet.
