Personally I think Legacy Galvatron is too big for my collection, he should be a voyager in line with Prime or Megatron, so I'm trying to find a suitable replacement. So far it's either the TR voyager or the RED figure.

Ouch. That kinda confirms the vibe I was getting from handling Shockwave in the box. Galvatron seemed more solid, I guess? But if they really are like that, then definitely pass. Especially for $25.

I don't have either, but based on the 4 I do have, AVOID.
Plastic quality is really bad, the things are gummy, limiting in posing, difficult to keep a pose, very pliable, and do not feel good in hand

I guess it could be like Kre-o, which was a TRU exclusive in the previous decade, but when TRU stopped carrying them in the U.S.; in order to obtain 2015/2016 product you had to get it via eBay (since Canadian TRU still had them), or hope to find them at Marshalls/TJ Maxx/Ross etc...

Because they sell. And pretty well too.
My Walmart never had those RED on shelves often, but when they bothered having some stock, they sold out pretty quickly.

The point is they literally aren't selling, they're no longer listed online and they removed the tags in stores in the US. At best they'll be available in limited numbers on Pulse and then who knows where after that.

Maybe that's true in your area, but over here those are hot items for some reasons.
