The latest wave of Transformers Universe/Classics 2.0 deluxes has found it’s way to U.S. retail store pegs!
TFW2005 Boards member, Vermoozer, has recently found Transformers Universe Hot Shot and Ratchet hanging on a peg at a Fred Meyer in Ballard, Washington. Those anxiously awaiting to add these two pieces to their collection may now begin searching.

I saw 'em, both here today in Lakeland, but decided to pass. I don't like the Ironhide mold at all, and Hot Shot was never a favorite character of mine- this toy did little to change that opinion.
Cujo
both found in florida also

I don't know if I want to get the American Hot Shot, or get the Henkei one instead…?

I still can't find these guys at retail. I have to pick up Ratchet (which can wait) but I had to have Hot Shot, so I bought the last one at Brian's Toys. (Brian's Toys)
I loves me the Hot Shot. Seriously, a FANTABULOUS figure.

Do want. Surprised HTS doesn't have 'em for preorder yet.

Just picked up both today and they are great. Well, Jolt is a little disappointing, but otherwise I'm happy.

Man, I really really want these two but I don't know if I'll be able to get them now.

Oh I want to hear from someone reviewing the Henkei Hotshot before I order one online…

Wow, this means I'm all but done with my collecting until Universe 3.0 starts up, and that's IF I can collect again at that point.

Found them at the first FM I checked too. I agree Hot Shot sucks, he was total impulse for me since I haven't had a new mold for a while. Picked up both Ratchet I saw for 2 buddies, my Henkei version will be here by Tuesday if the delivery info is correct so I didn't need one for myself
Autobot Burnout
Hmmm. I didn't like having my original Hot shot as a JaAm obsesed ******, so he's a decent guy like the show. However, now that this Hot Shot, which I will be getting alongside Ratchet if possible, has JaAm obsession written in his bio, I'll have to make the new, 'better' one a ******.
This will be interesting

Finally Hot Shot. My favorite figure as a child! I will grab this when i see it.
And then treasure it!

You should probably see a doctor about that…

Probably a bit of both. My left arm doesn't seem to have much keeping it from falling off, and the paint is pretty damn sloppy. I haven't checked out the feedback forum on him (kind of an impulse purchase by me) but it probably covers the design issues that I have with it. He is just goofy IMO.
