Oh so that repack is still happening and it's in Wave 2? Would have been nice of Hasbro to mention in that stream, I guess now I just have to wait for that to hit saturation so I can actually grab him (and/or for Hasbro to maybe put him on Pulse way after the fact because they're weird about both Core and repacks).o.supreme wrote:also found a single Core Bomb Burst (Evo PR)

Apparently it is. I had no idea either. I almost dismissed it as the standard Legacy Core until I looked closer. It was in a picture my daughter sent me. Also if you look closely there's a SS86 Arcee with her head missing.... People never change.

If you can't attach the gun for the tail tip, you're doing it wrong. In this case, twist the hips 180 and raise the legs as far as they go, like in this stock photo:

And good grief, Grimlock's already out? Good thing Slug and Sludge are gonna get repacked, I'd hate to miss them when my Targets get Legacy in, because at this stage I don't know what wave they'll be getting first!

The wave 2 cores were apparently found in one or two Targets on the West Coast.

Yeah, the original TFW2005 article stated San Jose CA which is in the South Bay, about 120 miles south west of where I live.
Like I said, earlier this week I found 1 core Legacy Evo Bomb Burst at the Target closest to me (Pictured above), and then a single Nemesis at the Target across town. I checked out about 6 or 7 other locations and nothing. I very much wonder if it truly was an instance that a case of 8 somehow got split up and only 1 item sent to different stores in a "repack" box. (when random items are shipped to retail). Neither item would scan.
Chuck- I know you said in your review you got yours from eBay. Was it from a California seller? The only Core Grimlock I see on eBay at the moment is from Iowa.

It's that simple."
I was sitting on mine for months with the Repros ready to be applied for reasons. Maybe because I really wanted Nemesis Scourge. So he bought it, traded it for my Legacy Optimus, he bought my Repros, then commission me to make him a Road Train Tanker. The spare Optimus had to be sacrificed. I keep the remains for a future project.
It was a light custom job so here it is.
ROAD TRAIN TANKER OPTIMUS!



Does this look familiar?

The "connector buggy" is in fact, Laser Optimus's ROLLER! Complete with seats.


So, what do you think?

If the connector piece is Roller, how did you sacrifice the other Optimus? If there was a way for the rear wheels to turn on the 1st tanker, it would be perfect.

Thanks!
It was the second Optimus's legs that were removed. It had to be to have the perfect sizes and look. I had to knock a few pins out. The "seats" of Roller were those foldable "kneepads".
Sure, being able to turn would have been better, but such specialised trailers do exist. Especially if the main unit is so short like for the ER or Lc trailers. Plus using the Energon connectors was damn effective! But I'll have to hunt down a new pair because this will put my planned "combiner" on hold.
Also, after playing with Legacy Optimus so much due to the customisation job, I can confirm that the Earthrise trailer was definitely empty garbage and the Legacy one truly justify the price. There's no way they couldn't include Roller in the Earthrise set. I bet that Centurion set was planned for a long time and they needed an incentive for people to "have no choice" but to buy it.

Were there any other deluxes at all? I too saw a single Needlenose at a Target about a week ago. Didn't get it, because all I want is Scraphook from that assortment. Further lending possibility to the theory that some stores are not getting whole cases of these (except Voyagers which are reaching Saturation, at least in my area of CA)
Only deluxe not there was Breakdown.
More Needlenose. He is just real neat. It's a fight between him and Scraphook for favorite deluxe of the wave.

Minus the knight-styled helmet.
I’m old, but it reminds me of Super Grover.
I would be tempted if he was on sale, but he’s still a pass for me.
