Welp, Walmart canceled my Deluxe pre-orders "due to high demand". Again I feel like ordering these shortly after they went up and paid for them in full that same day should have made my order a priority, but I guess they don't see things that way. :roll:

If you wonder why it matters if I buy them online or in store, it's because I used PayPal Credit to buy them which gave me 6 months to pay for them interest free. Having to buy them out of pocket in store is really going to eat into my winter budget which isn't nearly as high as it is the rest of the year thanks to Christmas, heating and other extra winter expenses.

I'm not sure how soon any of us ordered matters, I think everyone is getting cancelled because Walmart is flat out incompetent, yet keeps getting exclusives.

Really really liking this Magnus. Had not picked up the regular Siege version, but for $20 bucks less than the Siege version, its an awesome toy with the extra accessories.

Love the G2 style head with the bright blue mouth plate and red eyes.

Definitely much better than I was expecting.

G2 style head?

Yeah, that's what I meant. Though for some reason I think G2 Laser Rod when I see that. :-D

I feel ya dog. Even though they have issues packing their items I use Amazon all the time so I can pay with gift cards and not spend cash.

I don't think Nemesis will be clearanced like Magnus. There was no normal leader Nemesis at regular retail after all.

News Credits: 55 · by **o.supreme** » Tue Oct 20, 2020 1:35 pm

My Nemesis from Walmart hasn't been canceled yet, just "Delayed" without an estimated shipping date. Believe me, if I could have ordered these from Amazon I would have.

When I saw the Nemesis spoiler pack was on Pulse I ordered it there. Who knows when I'll get it but Pulse hasn't cancelled an order yet.

I have a pre-order from each. Just waiting to see who ships first so I can cancel the other.

I admit my system is kind of Random. I always gave Target high praise, but after the pre-order fiasco on ER figures going back to early this year, I'll pass. If I see it in store, then I get it there first. For online-

Amazon is #1 always (if they have it). #2 would be Walmart (just because I have a credit card and can pay it off at my leisure, though that does leave me open for terrible customer service, I understand), then #3-all other online retailers, because while they may be the most dependable, as we have seen, they are often subject to delays as well, and are often more expensive than some of the other outlets.

For online, I would look at pre-orders different than in stock items. Pretty much any of them will do if the item is in stock.

For pre-orders, I go Amazon first, then Pulse, as neither of them have let me down with a cancellation yet. Then Target next with Walmart last of the main 4 before moving onto BBTS, TF Source etc. I really wish Amazon carried selects (themselves, not 3rd party sellers).

Greetings Seibertronians! Fellow Seibertron user, Dominus Prime, has informed us that YouTube toy reviewer, Kremzeek Reviews, has uploaded a new video review of Netflix Transformers War for Cybertron Trilogy Voyager Class Optimus Prime with Battlemasters Enerax and Sheeldron!

This version of Optimus Prime is a redeco of Transformers Earthrise Leader Class Optimus Prime, minus his trailer with two yellow translucent redeco'ed Battlemasters (Siege Pteraxadon and Earthrise Soundbarrier). The yellow translucent redeco of Pteraxadon is a call back to the Energon axe he used in his fight against Megatron atop the Sherman Dam in the 2nd part of More Than Meets The Eye from the original Generation 1 cartoon.

We have embedded the review below for your convenience:

What do you think of the review? Are you getting this Optimus for your shelves? Let us know in the Energon Pub and stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews!

This is going to be perfect for me. I passed on the previous version because I didn't want a trailer, and I like the paint apps better on this one as well, except for the windshield. The battle masters I can take or leave, but I believe I already made a deal with someone for them. :-?

My thoughts almost exactly. I don't mind the color of the windshield, I just wish the back of the lower legs were blue.
Now, I don't know that I'll get this version, but I'd probably go for it if it were on a sale for $35-ish.

. Seeing as they are starting to show up I. Asia, hopefully it won't be too long before they show up in North America.

Once they clear Megatron and Hotlink that is

Trailer or Battle Masters. What a choice... :-?

Well, the vanilla trailer is garbage. Plain, odd looking, and missing key components. However, once upgraded with Repros and Shapeways its awesome. But of course the added costs are ludicrous.

So the Battlemasters may be the cheapest and simplest option overall.

Damnation this OP looks even better with those paint apps....well gotta get that one to switch out with Earthrise Prime. :VEHI:

That's why I really dig the United version. It's just too bad they didn't make his eyes a different color but it's still pretty cool...'nuff said! :VEHI:
