In general, Selects have been online exclusive but not necessarily exclusive to a particular retailer.
The drone set might not actually be Selects, and might be something similar to the Reflector 3 pack from last year that that was part of Siege but without a WFC number. I believe that was also a Hasbro Pulse only exclusive (at least in the US).
Selects is not mentioned anywhere on the drone Listing like it is for Tigertracks and Rotorstorm.
That is certainly possible, but the Reflector 3 pack was offered by other online retailers, as is the Drone apparently , just not by BBTS. (a previous poster showed a UK retailer offering it)
Exclusives are handled a bit differently over here in the UK (usually as in not available at all), Selects stuff is usually stocked by two big online reatailers that have a single BNM store (maybe other online retailers but havent checked).
The 35th anniversary walmart exclusives were divided between the two as exclusives (soundblaster/bluestreak, I think prime/megs was available at both).
Smyths is the biggest bnm retailer and have had the netflix stuff (seeing as their isnt any other competitiors like toysrus they dont really feel exclusive and arent highlighted as exclusives instore unlike toysus does -smyhts does lable some exclusives from other toy ranges like imaginenext as such tho).
Amazon UK is a big hit and miss and will keep exclusives that they only ever stocked a tiny amount of listed as coming soon forever and a day (thundercracker, greenlight etc) or seriously over stock so they can drop them to nice prices (Potp nemesis prime). even MP Baynus megs was cheaper than a studio series leader megs at one point so it is a very double edged sword.

Called it! The instant I saw Hasbro selling the Targetmasters separately I knew that if they could find a way to charge for weapons and accessories that fans would expect to come with characters they'd do so. So, chuck 'em in with a repaint and boost the price another 12-13 bucks, why not? Okay, so you get a fair amount for that extra dough but it just feels like after the gushing movie years everything's now being really nickle-and-dime'd. Quite how they haven't started making their own gap fillers and 'upgrade' sets yet I don't know.
Also, that was one of the most cringey videos I've ever watched. You can spot fake sincerity a mile away and they both had it coming off them in spades, complete with '86 movie nostalgia button-pressing (yawn). The banter and 'jokes'were just so forced. I mean, I work in a corporate environment so I know when things have to be smoothly presented but wow Hasbro needs to find people with genuine charisma to do this kind of stuff? Hire someone like Thew Adams for the next one! (though maybe not for Selects: Not sure he'd be able to be positive about Repaint-a-palooza!![]()
Tiger-Track doesn't appeal to me. Diaclone exists...meh. Nor Corpse Prime (though I am a touch intrigued by the hint of a link to the Netflix series, though if I blink will i miss it?). And a Rotorstorm where they've not even bothered to mold that iconic LSOTW head? I know things are tight economically, guys, but for me if you can't do it right I'd prefer you just don't bother.
AND I'm in the UK so all of this will be more expensive when it reaches our sceptered shores, but that's just what I get for having the sheer folly to exit a birth canal in this geographical location. Try harder next time, Sperm.

True, but at least they are their own line. History would look back much differently on Action Masters had they just been a new line of non-transforming action figures, instead of the next step of the main line/fiction , and thus the death of the original series.![]()
Can you imagine what would happen if Hasbro announced the 3rd part of the WFC Trilogy was just a bunch of non-transforming action figures.

I really hope so. I didn't expect significant retooling from this but definitely hoped for a new head. It looks like Rotorstorm's headless body took Pyro's head off his corpse.TFfan1 wrote:How strange that they refer to Rotorstorm having a new head sculpt but it's just unpainted Spinister, not even his pink visor. Any chance these aren't final images somehow and we're getting the proper head?

NO WAY AM I GONNA BUY THAT!
Sigh....
