I kind of like the whole Nemesis Pax into Nemesis Prime thing going on with the POTP version and the fact he's actually leader class size. But this Netflix one looks good too.

I have the PotP version and will also be getting the Netflix version. Not sure on whether I will keep the PotP version long term or not. The transformation for the cab to the smaller robot mode is pretty boring, but the transformation to the larger bot mode is nice and fun. The black color really helps to hide how ugly the back of the cab and the front of the trailer are on the regular OP version, and the extra weapons are nice, but mostly also duplicated for the Netflix version.

Having both molds already, if I was to choose only 1, it would probably be Netflix.

Oddly enough I'm thinking about getting 2 of the Netflix Nemesis Primes, just so I can have a G2 Styled Trailer for Optimus.

Thanks for the input. I might actually get both versions.

Looks like it is Pulse's turn to delay the Netflix spoiler pack, November 16th, which now matches Walmart (not that I expect Walmart to come through).

I received that email as well. I was waiting for the delay email since it said the 1st and it is already the 6th but this isn't as bad as I thought it would be.

Hrm... interesting, does anyone have a Walmart pre-order for the Spoiler Box that still shows a date? Mine just says delayed/out of stock with no expected shipping/arrival date. I was one of the first people to pre-order when the listing went up , not that it matters I guess, this IS Walmart were talking about.

I'd highly doubt that. We already have Selects G2 Sandstorm as a jet, there would be no reason G1 fanservice at the moment would not provide a triple changing G1 Sandstorm, and I would be shocked to hear them doing a Machine Wars Sandstorm at the moment

I'd take that over to the Selects thread, this is focused on the Netflix figures.

Interesting, if at all true, but wild speculation or not, this discussion belongs in the Generations Selects thread instead.

Mine doesn't show a date, but the original email from them on the delay said the 16th. That was the only place I ever saw a date. Of course I fully expect Walmart to Walmart things up.

I cancelled my BBTS POL Netflix Magnus. Realized I really don't care too much, and I much prefer his CW self, so I cancelled. That money will go towards my Heavy Infantry Mandalorian.

And with that cancellation, I will have yet to find a netflix transformer I actually go through with buying. They just aren't doing it for me

Maybe I'm misremembering, but I thought you got Hotlink?

Huh, I'd completely forgotten I got him, which is a shame since I still stand by the fact that he is the 2nd best Siege seeker other than Redwing. He's in with my seekers shelf with his flamethrowers.

I hate Walmart; I really hate Walmart. I can't wait until the Netflix line is actually finished but Hasbro will probably just give them some other exclusive. The order page doesn't tell me anything but if I add Elita to a shopping cart I get a date of December 15th. Whatever. At least Pulse has the Nemesis Prime spoiler pack.

News Credits: 42 · by **TF-fan kev777** » Wed Nov 11, 2020 7:49 pm

I'm not sure whether to be mad or glad. On the one hand, Walmart cancelled my Elita-1 on me, and now you can order again. On the other hand, I was going to cancel anyway because the mold looks terrible, and was only keeping her around to pair with Bee for free shipping in case Pulse comes through with the Spoiler pack first. Then I would have just returned her in store.

Then again I found all of wave 1 in stores before my pre-orders shipped, so I'm guessing that will happen again, with Pulse coming through for the spoiler pack first.

When it says to "check back later for status update" you're going to want to contact customer support. Any time I've gotten that (including all of my wave one Netflix deluxes) my order was locked in limbo and couldn't be processed without a rep fixing it.

Honestly I'm surprised you guys didn't have your orders cancelled outright like most of did.

I ended up canceling Elita-1 and then ordered her again along with the Spoiler pack as the Spoiler pack is listed as in-stock and should be here Saturday. Since Pulse has yet to charge I canceled my pre-order there. Probably should have waited till it actually shipped but I should be OK. I figure Bee and the rest I'll find in the store as I found all of Wave 1 in store before any of my pre-orders shipped. Wave 2 has yet to drop out here in Arizona though so hopefully the spoiler pack does arrive this weekend.

Is it Really in stock though? If anyone gets a shipping confirmation on the spoiler pack from Walmart let me know. I know Walmart is screwed up but you would think they would go back and satisfy the pending pre-orders before putting it in stock.

It says free 2-day delivery so it should ship tomorrow to arrive Saturday. Now to see if I get a shipment notification.

Cool, keep us informed. I just cancelled my pre-order, which now says "pending approval"? Not sure why since it's pretty evident they didn't plan on fulfilling it. Maybe they'll take it as a threat and actually charge/ship it :lol:

. Either way I'll just reorder or hopefully just see it in store like I did the first one.

Just contacted Walmart online about Soundwave, and they say it got delayed to December 15th as well...

I just ordered it and they said I would have it Friday.

Great, my Optimus says pending, but now my Nemesis has the dreaded "Delayed—check back later for status update" message even though it's in stock. Last time I had to resolve an issue I was able to email them, but right now it's only letting me chat and I don't have time so I'll have to try resolving it this weekend.

While I did not wake up to a shipment notification from Walmart I do see that a shipping label has been created when I log in to my Walmart.com account. I'm feeling sorta confident I will see the second spoiler pack this weekend...
