Collector's Find! Toys R Us Exclusives

     l went to the local Toys R Us not even looking for something and found three things I never expected to find!  All three are exclusive to that store which greatly increases their value down the road!

Lex Luthor vs. Skeletor
    The first is from the DC Universe vs. Masters Of The Universe line.  There are only two sets that I've heard of thus far for this line.  I happened to find Lex Luthor vs. Skeletor!  Like I said before there are two sets out at this time.  The second is Superman vs. Skeletor.  Ive seen it online and would love to get it!


Cybertron Ratchet
     The next two are from the Transformers Animated line.  For some reason Hasbro canceled the toy line shortly after the TV series came to an end and they had just announced alot of cool upcoming figures.  After an outcry from the fans of the series Hasbro went ahead and planed to release the figures they had planed on but as exclusives to certain retailers.  The two I found at Toys R Us was Arcee and Cybertron Ratchet.  Cybertron Ratchet's mold may be used in the future for a Ironhide figure which is kinda funny because in the original G1 series Ironhide and Ratchet were the same toy mold just different paint schemes.
Arcee
  
     The one I have really been looking forward to is Arcee.  Arcee from the G1 series was always a fan favorite and many were upset that a figure was never made of her.  In more recent years and incarnations of the TV series the character resurfaced and toys were finally made.  However nothing like the original character.  Finally in the new Animated series the character resurfaced looking soo close to her original G1 counterpart.  I wish I had found two of this figure because I would have been sorely tempted to open one just to be able to transform it!
