Watch as Hasbro announces the Bug Bite version and Wal-Mart forgets to announce Bumblebee

Watch as Hasbro announces the Bug Bite version and Wal-Mart forgets to announce Bumblebee

Sounds like a Wal-Mart thing to do.

[ZeldaTheSwordsman]

Yes, well, we all know the only thing Mall-Wart truly puts effort into is keeping the Waltons in solid gold Rolls-Royce limousines.

I'm hoping Elita will be her own mold, and I'm also hoping she'll be a Voyager (since I don't think Tall Deluxes are very possible with current design trends).

[o.supreme]

Although all of the walmart /Netflix Siege figures have been repaints so far, I cannot see how Elita-1 could not be a totaly new figure, except for Chromia, an Elita-1 based on that mold would just be kind of bleh in my opinion.

Elita is a deluxe.

Elita is a deluxe.

Sigh... She's supposed to be close to Optimus in height.

[Deadput]

Sigh... She's supposed to be close to Optimus in height.

Uh doesn't seem like it.



This is deluxe class height.

Not talking about the G1 cartoon character because what do you think the Netflix Elita 1 is going to be based on?

To be fair, I'm pretty sure this show is based on the toyline, not the other way around.

Exactly. I mean, ferchrissakes the only way Optimus could be more toy accurate is if they rendered him with screwholes. That is toy accuracy the likes of which we haven't seen since 2005.

And the toyline is in turn based on the G1 cartoon. Which, need I remind people, is why (for example) the Seekers have F-15 cockpits on their chests even though they turn into pyramid jets and Megatron has the halves of a Walther P.38 hammer on his shoulders

To the people sick of exclusives: They have their reasons for existing, although I am on board with no more Amazon exclusives. Online marketplaces with that incompetent a search engine shouldn't be allowed to have exclusives.

[-Kanrabat-]

Speaking of online stores, why so many stores don't allow to filter out the sold out stuff? Because it make looking for things to buy about impossible so I usually just give up and don't buy anything.

Am I alone in this?

Precisely, the makers of the show got told that elita 1 was going to be a deluxe size, so in the show, that's how high she became to sell the toy. Lest we all forget, the media is still focused on selling toys (hence why in old IDW characters changed designs so much to reflect what was on shelves, like Starscream donning his old Armada design, or jihaxus using the same body because that's what they did with the toy)

Hmmmm, my Target must be doing something different because I haven't had any issues whenever I find an item on shelf early. After seeing this thread yesterday, I went over to my Target and immediately purchased Double-Dealer with no issue (self-checkout). They also had 3 Earthrise Primes on the shelf but I bought mine from the same store about 2 months ago when one ended up on the shelf then. Of course, I may have just jinxed myself by posting this.

Interesting new play set or box set as been shown. I like the alicon but that is really about it.

This is full of win for me! I dig the Quintesson Prosecutor, but it won't replace the Impossibletoys one I have. The Bailiff on the other hand? Good job in turning a non transforming nobody into a transforming nobody! Very much into this set.

Did they "get told" that, or did they receive in scale 3D renders?

NEWS IT!

Also, very solid set. Will this be a something-or-other exclusive?

I sent it in as a news submission before I linked it here. I have heard that it is a another Walmart exclusive and was supposed to be shown tomorrow during their event.

Aaaaaaaaaand Quintesson preorder canceled. I’m liking this set a lot, and also appreciate we get a Prosecutor and Bailiff, even if it’s an Allicon retool.

[LinaNui]

Some more info on the Quintesson Pit of Judgement 5-Pack. $69.99 USD, pulse exclusive but they mention other online stores getting it, release in September 2020, box looks huge!

I haven't watch the 86 movie in a long time, but was there an alicon that looked like this in the movie?

[o.supreme]

The Judge in the set appears to be colored differently than the individual voyager release...or it could just be the lighting?

It is is different, all the figures here have an exclusive deco and some new parts.

[ZeroWolf]

I put the story about the quint set in the Fans First Friday topic as it's not linked to Earthrise, standing alone.

Even the TR Sharkticon? it looks the same color to me, though it's been a while since I saw one up close.

*edit* nevermind, I see now, there is no pink on the redeco one.

[blackeyedprime]

Weird, seems like it would fit studio series better than wfc.

It's not an Allicon, it's a Bailiff.



They just reused/retooled the Allicon mold to make the Bailiff.
