Supposedly that figure is stuck with Amazon since it was originally their exclusive. They could probably modify it like they did for Target's Buzzworthy release, but they're probably willing to wait for the rights to expire than change the mold again.

This mold seems to always be an exclusive in some way regardless of who its released as.
Barricade, Bluestreak, Silverstreak, Both Prowls. Only Smokescreen was a wide release if I'm not mistaken.

Smokescreen was a Select, making it not that widespread.

You're thinking of Siege Smokescreen, which was a Selects release.

If Select is only for Titans, it's more dead than alive. Still, I'll take what I can get.

Still, the latest Selects have all been Titans for a while. Unless those deluxe and Movie box sets are Selects too?

The most recent Selects, in reverse order of release (meaning newest to oldest) were the Go-Bots 3-pack, the Autobot 5-pack, Antagony, Guardian Robot, Magnificus, DK-3 Beaker, toy colors Cyclonus, and DK-2 Guard.-Kanrabat- wrote:Sabrblade wrote:No one has said it's becoming Titans-only.

That was over the last... 4 years? 5?
I'm losing count in my old age.
But one thing is sure, the releases are way less frequent than when they first began.

Antagony, Guardian Robot, and Magnificus were in Legacy Evolution.
And the rest were all Legacy Year 1.
So, this is the last three years of Selects.
Oh, wait! I forgot about Lift-Ticket. He was also during Legacy Year 1.

The chart have already been pulled some 6 posts back. It resulted in around 2 Legacy Selects releases a year, which are way less than in the Siege/Earthrise days.
Still, if we break down the box-sets into individual releases, it would have been around the same amount. And if we cheat and count the BWBB sets as "Selects", that would be even more.
I'm all for box sets because you "save" some money over the overall price and you're sure to get all the figures in one go, but I love the option to buy the ONE figure I really want and skip on the rest, without having to jump through the reselling hoops.

It's cheating, but the increase in Target and Walmart exclusives did have an affect on the Selects line. For example the Walmart exclusive Legacy Beasts Sandstorm, Buzzsaw and Nightprowler were originally going to be Selects releases before Walmart got them. I'm sure there's a bunch of times where Walmart had something planned for Selects and just used it to pad an exclusive series (like Velocitron Road Hauler probably was).

Oh yeah those too. But they are exclusives and depending of your area, could be a real pain to find.

Not just those. The Velocitron line and the unreleased G2 lines count too.
And as usual, what shelfwarm in a store, another store never got them. It's always relative.
