I'm lucky(?) enough that I'm usually awake until 4, so I can get those middle-of-the-night restocks, but even then, with me setting up the email notif for it, and constantly checking my email, 3 attempts to get it immediately upon receiving the email for it failed, because it sold out within the twenty seconds or less that it took to click the link, hit "add to cart", and attempt to actually check out. I only got it because I happened to be "just-in-case" hitting the add-to-cart for it from the "Saved for later" area of my cart before going back to wait for the email, and very quickly clicked through the checkout process to finally nab it, and it was sold out immediately after the less than 10 seconds it took to checkout from there.
I'm betting people are using bots to check the stock and immediately buy a ton of them as soon as they're in stock.

Yes. Now go to your room and don't play with yourself.
The big quote on this page explains its origins.Deadput wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Just think of it as Skywarp laughing hysterically after he had just pushed some poor soul down a flight of stairs.
Where does the whole "Skywarp pushes people down stairs" thing even come from, is it just another exaggeration of the wiki like the Prowl is a prick thing?

Pretty much. The art in question is the one at the top of Skywarp's article.Deadput wrote:Sabrblade wrote:The big quote on this page explains its origins.Deadput wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Just think of it as Skywarp laughing hysterically after he had just pushed some poor soul down a flight of stairs.

So just an in-joke?

It's very common for molds to have alternate, gang-molded parts that can be switched out, something Selects makes full use of. CW Devastator has them as I described them (RiD 2001 Build Team plus Scoop and Quickmix, merge into RiD 2001 Landfill), but they ultimately went unused.
Yep. Those alternate heads exist, but never got used. Hasbro actually once offered them to Fun Pub to use, but Fun Pub didn't use them because they honestly thought Hasbro was gonna use them. Thus, neither group ended up using them.Jeddostotle7 wrote:Jelze Bunnycat wrote:Stormshot_Prime wrote:Wait did I miss something? Are we getting a new Devastator?

Wait, so if they had actually used thoae pretooled heads for Devy... we would have gotten 2 different toys of Scoop in like 3 years?????
