Wal-Mart offered a few up as bait on Black Friday, and so of course thousands of my fellow cheapskates and I turned up in giant shivering, confused droves to await the store's 5am opening all across the nation. Why do we bother? We all know that the meager stack of 20 laptops or so that each store has are going to sell out before half the line is through the door--never mind the fact that they have roughly the power of a Casio wristwatch--but we do it anyway. Well, at least Transformers collectors could draw some solace from the fact that even if everything else completely vanishes, there are still those $9 Transformers Universe Scout 2-packs to fight over. Sure, they're just repacks of toys that we already have, but we'll be damned if we're going to come home from standing outside like a bunch of doofuses all night without something to show for it. So feast your eyes on The Data War, folks. Sure, it may not be as impressive as a $200 laptop, or a 55-inch HDTV, but it was either this or a 4-lb bag of almond roca.
