quick reviews as follows:

 

jetfire is decent. robot mode is very nice!

 

crumplezone is better than i expected! he's a big guerilla-bot. ;)

 

scourge is ok in dragon mode, but his bot mode is KING! very demonic and leader-y lookin! :thumb

 

so far liking the line, though the thickness of the figs reminds me of armada (good armada ie arm-wheeljack). cant wait to see the smaller figs!

I'm going to NYC this week, and the location/name of a good import store would be helpful.

If you wander around china town you'll also find a lot of stores that carry TF.  I would assume they are carrying some GF.  These are little mom and pop gift shop type places.

each figure is #4.99 each.

 

I don't know if this applies to online sales but thats what they have here.

wow everythings like $1 to $5 higher than it is here. I thought a "price was a price" I didn't think their prices could be different from state to state.

Everything cost more in NYC.  A bigmac combo there is like $9 after tax :eek
