Well I got Lockdown, my highest priority, at least. And Ferak. Cannonball sold out in my cart though and Filch was already long gone. Why don't heir damned exclusives have to be so difficult to get

Here we thought they finally smartened up and did an even case of 4 figures, only for the stream to confirm that Road Pig and Thundertron are coming later in the year so it looks like we're getting another instance like Velocitron where we get a late refresh that swaps some Deluxe figures out for another (and most Walmarts wont even bother like with Crasher, Shadowstrip and Galaxy Shuttle).

We've been wondering about that ever since the leaks first revealed the two different Thundertron releases.o.supreme wrote:Emerje wrote:ScottyP wrote:I can tell Filch is the short-packed one ;_;

ok, so Im a little confused.... Hasbro just released a Voyager Thundertron for Legacy United. But Walmart is getting a Leader later this year? Is this just going to be a repaint with some "added stuff" to make it a Leader?

Are you sure they meant a later wave when they said the rest would come later in the year? The Toxitron colletion was only 1 wave with Toxitron, Cloudcover and Jazz revealed and put up for pre-order at the collector con and the remaining figures revealed at SDCC officially but being found in stores a week or 2 earlier. Unless they specifically said a later wave, I'm more inclined to think they meant the reveals are what are coming later, not the toys themselves. If that is the case, then it should be an even case of 4 deluxes with nobody shortpacked and solid cases of 1 figure for voyager and leader.
Agreed, except Lockdown's, which I'm on the fence about. I know he can't have his trademark Animated squint in every universe, but these big, insectoid, compound eyes, combined with his mouth sculpt, make him look stoned or something...from certain angles at least. In one pic he looks OK, so I might need to see him in person. Or I might just not need another Lockdown.steve2275 wrote:I actually like these faces

And the fan who got him, Chicagolander, has taken images so that we can see him at every angle. And some angles sure are better than others. There is a really nice shot, though, of Bunblebee inside him, recreating the scene from the very first episode. We see what needs to be done for Bee to fit and how spacious the alt mode is.
Being spacious enough to carry Bumblebee inside him is the whole reason why they made Wheeljack a Voyager instead of a Deluxe.Bumblevivisector wrote:william-james88 wrote:While Legacy voyager Origin Wheeljack (Cybertronian Wheeljack) is street dated for March 31, one store put him up early.

Holy f*$%anoli! The most obvious feature fans would want that no one asked for because no one thought it was possible!
Could this be the warm up for a SS'86 Titan Astrotrain that can do the same trick with the upcoming Devastator?!?

But I would certainly entertain the idea of a Commander version if it delivered.

Its kind of like Basic Instinct, but not in a good way...
Goddammit, now I can't unsee it.
And in a previous fan stream, Evan said that if they were to do a SS86 Astrotrain, it would just be a more cartoon-accurate redeco of Siege Astrotrain.First-Aid wrote:Till-all-R1 wrote:I don't know about a Titan Astrotrain. lol

I don't see either happening. I just don't think the engineering is possible for HasTak to do what people want. That's the science-fiction aspect in force...like a 35 foot tool tyrant transforming and shrinking into something a human could hold.
