Is the Patrol Barricade in the Barricade vs. Bumblebee package different from the single-packed highway patrol Barricade?

Yep, the one in the 2-pack is blue and black.

To collect all of these things, keeping every freakin' variant straight in my head, is going to be quite the adventure.

ADDENDUM:  I must be psychic.

There appear to be variants to at least one (maybe two) of these as well.  Checking out the news article over on TFW2005, http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/transformers-movie-toys--products-30/speed-stars-wave-1-two-packs-out-at-us-retail-170471/ when these were first spotted, it seems you can get two different versions of Optimus Prime in two of the sets, making a total of 4 package variants.

I bought the Optimus Prime (OP) vs. Desert Long Haul (DLH) pack, but the Prime in it has a silver nose and an almost totally red cab, like the one pictured here at BBTS:

http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/prod ... ode=retail

which differs from the news post pic:

http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/attach/3/9/4/0/7/speed-stars-2-packs-6_1282872401.jpg

Looking at the back of Optimus Prime vs. Bonecrusher's package...it seems that the Prime I described above should be found in the OP vs Bonecrusher set, not the OP vs. DLH pack.

So, I guess it would be possible to have both versions of Prime ("normal looking" and "silver node, red cab") show up in both the OP vs. BC and the OP vs DLH sets.

Silver Nose Prime vs Desert Long Haul
Silver Nose Prime vs Bonecrusher

Red Nose ("normal") Prime vs. Desert Long Haul
Red Nose ("normal") Prime vs Bonecrusher

This wasn't a one-off error or an instance of BBTS showing the wrong product either, as there was another OP vs DLH set matching the one I purchased/initially described above.

God, I hate variants.  And honestly, none of this should come as any surprise as the RPMs line was chock full o' variants...why would they quit now?  :)

I just found the two-pack at my local TRU - yikes on all the variants! I've been trying to find the search-and-rescue symbol on doors variant of Ratchet ever since I learned about it, but no dice so far. So, are these different from the RPMs Nightwatch Bumblebee vs. Patrol Barricade? Is Hasbro just playing mind games now, in an effort to see just what it takes to drive toy collectors bugnuts?

    Not to mention I've gotten 30 MISB ROTF deluxe figures (free) from the "Double Your Action" Hasbro promotion.  Only kept a couple, though.  Gave some to nephew and others will be traded or sold off on the cheap.

    I originally got this a while back - thanks shmax! - but recently picked up a second one.  For those of you that might be looking for this on the cheap, check out Ollie's Bargain Outlet, if you've got one nearby.  Only $19.99 - pretty much BOGO free from original separate Voyager retail.  They also had the Blowpipe vs. Sideways Walmart exclusive from 2009...same price, I think.

    Another heads-up...if you're looking for the Speed Stars Battle Series Vs. Sets, check Walmart first.  They're only $4.50 there, compared to the TRU price of $5.99.

      He is available. Takara just released their version today along with Wingblade Prime and Jetpack Bee.
      http://redmercury.co.jp/shop/detail.php?code=RED-7112

      And Hasbro's had their version available since January.

      Yeah, I already have Hasbro's version - I meant Takara's Cyb. Mode Ratchet on English-language import sites. I don't trust google autotranslate THAT much. XD But at least this means it will be soon! *waits eagerly*
