[glow=aqua,2,300]The Terra Scorcher is the big black and orange robot that converts to a vehicle. The street punk is the guy with the magenta mohawk and mini machine pistol gun type weapons.

I think the name Terra Scorcher is an error on EE's part. The figure that is supposed to come with Street Punk is the orange and black Biomecha that transforms into a car/dune buggy. It's name is supposed to be Transcorcher (get it? like transformer). That's what it's name tag said at Toy Fair, unless Hasbro changerd it. Transcorcher sounds way better than Terra Scorcher.

[glow=aqua,2,300]I bet they changed the name as transcorcher sounds a little to much like transformer and wanted to put some distance between the two lines.

[glow=aqua,2,300]I sure wish these would start hitting retail. I'd love to pack some up but there no way I'd ever want to pour any money into that Ebay guy's pocket who wants one $16 for one booster shipped. He may not be a scalper, but he is definately trying to take full adavantage of the fact the toys aren't out at mass retail yet. BTW, did anyone receive the Dune Stingers from his auction last week yet? If anyone paid by paypal they should have already gotten rhese oe should be getting them very soon.

[glow=aqua,2,300]Yes, it certainly sounds like this guy will more than likely have springloaded pop out wings as a gimmick. I still can't say that that excites me at all. I'd rather forget that gimmick and make him a $7 booster. I'm an army builder but even I'm only interested in one of these schmoes.

[glow=aqua,2,300]After further review, I'm not sure these are going to start rolling out en masse here in the next few days. The seller that has the Sky Grinder in hand is from Hong Kong. That's where the toys were made. So he has a jump on the US outlets of a month to 6 weeks due to ocean travel, customs and distribution. It could still be awhile for us (hopefully not that long though.)
In the meantime, someone who has to have it now could place a $10 bid on the one in hand on ebay I suppose. That $20 shipping and handling fee scared me off though. $5 for insurance is rather pricey as well. I can wait.

Hello all, just wanted to register and start participating in the conversation! I'm really liking Xevoz, and wanted to let you know that the Hemo Goblin pack has been found at a Toys R Us. Posted from the joebattlelines.com message boards (where we are also digging Xevoz): pub126.ezboard.com/fgettingsavagefrm100.showMessage?topicID=221.topicDoctorKent

Welcome to the board Doctor and thanks for the info! So the 2-pack has shown up in Texas which means it's already half way across the country. Not bad at all, it should start showing up all over pretty soon. Now I'm crossing my fingers hoping that the reason we haven't gotten any 2-pack cases in is because the new assortments are on the way and we'll be getting those ;D You're right Squishee, it could be a while before we start seeing them if HappyPig is just now getting them. Normally he has auctions up for stuff at least 2 weeks before I start seeing it in TRU. Doesn't mean other places or parts of the country won't get the stuff in sooner but I'm going to sit back and plan on 2 weeks. If they show up before that it'll be a nice suprise!

I want that Hemogoblin and Moonstalker 2 pack really bad! Since it has showed up in Texas maybe it won't be that long before I get my grubbies on one.
