Insecticons orderd from Toysrus website.

[Agent 539]

Got Perceptor coming on Thursday. I ordered from BBTS cause I knew tru.com would do something like this. I may hunt for the Insecticons but I have the G1 Insecticons and boxes so I'm pretty good if I don't buy this set.

I drove to the nearest Toys R Us last Friday after hearing they were released...and NOTHING, I was so mad! That's a 50 mile drive round trip for nothing! I guess next time I'll call first, but I have a feeling nobody there is going to be of much help. So sad...but I have the originals of all the Insecticons and Perceptor from the 80's so I guess it's ok if I don't get the reissues. But shiny and new! SHINY AND NEW!!!

finally got mine, I just stopped across the street on my lunch break and cracked em' open when i got home. perceptor is just tits and the insecticons look great as a trio. the only thing that sucks about Perceptor is that not only is there no spring in the missile launcher, the launcher tab is GLUED IN PLACE. i suppose its G1 accurate, but suffice to say he is not displayed with his Missile Dropper. the missile doesn't even snap in, it slides out, like throwing a pickle down a hallway. tomorrow im gonna put the stickers on the insecticons, oddly, my favorite part!

It's not G1 accurate - the original G1 launcher worked, it just wasn't very strong. Gah, another reason why I'm glad I collect Japanese reissues; TFC Perceptor's launcher fires across my room! :)

Not to sound like an old man but, in my day we had metal toys. With chrome! And they shot missles! Paint had lead in them I tells ya! And we turned out fine! Bah, kids these days...softer than soggy pancakes! :argh

well that's embarrassing. I've never owned a perceptor so the only references Ive had were childhood friends copies (of course with the requisite missing acessories!) and TFU.info. Thanks for clearing that up, chaps!

 

oh, and also, you don't sound like an old man. honestly, you are exactly NOT channeling my grandfather right now and you sound nothing like him. ;)
