So I picked up the Transformers Generations 30th Anniversary AUTOBOT WHIRL yesterday at Toys "R" Us -- I had a rather generous coupon.

This is a rather odd-looking Autobot who transforms into a pretty cool-looking copter, that despite the largely steel blue color scheme is obviously a military-style chopper.

Much to my surprise, Whirl came with a sheet of labels. When's the last time you had to apply labels to a Transformer? And last year's SkyStriker Jetfire doesn't count... :roll:

Anyway, one label in particular caught my attention. It goes on the canopy, right about where you'd expect a military pilot to stencil his name on his aircraft. The name reads -- CW-4 WILLIAM S. HARDY :-D

So -- they've made WILD BILL the pilot fot Autobot Whirl! :wildbill:

That's really cool, but I'm more impressed with the fact that your TRU stocks stuff. I didn't even know Whirl was out. Never seen Rhinox in the wild, either. Just a ton of Blaster and Soundwave everywhere.

I won't exactly say I've been faring all that well lately. I came across Rhinox at Kmart about a month ago, and Whirl surprised the heck out of me (especially since the last time I checked HTS, he was sold out there, too).

Still hoping to find Waspinator, Tankor, couple'a others... The Walmarts and Targets have been pretty much worthless lately.

I saw whirl tonight at toys r us as well. Pretty neat looking. I got rhinox off hts a few months ago. I know where to get waspinator here but he's $17.99 as well as skids

Whirl can be had on HasbroToyShop.com for about $16 + free shipping with the coupon code of FRIENDS14.

I forgot about Skids -- but $17.99!? That's a bit much for the carded guys. At least they're shipping, but I think I'll wait until they're somewhere a little more reasonable.

And HTS must've restocked Whirl. When I checked there a few days ago, he was Out of Stock.
