And if it's too soon to call it Grapple, can we say Siege Megatron/35th anniversary Megatron?
And then release the mold again in the Netflix line. And again in Earthrise....
Honestly, ER Megs better not be in the same wave as the Quintesson Judge, because I think they're both going to shelfwarm.
Yeah...about that...What do you think wave 3 is?
*checks TFWiki*

... I guess I shouldn't count on seeing Kingdom's wave 1 voyagers then.

I still have wave 2 on pre-order at Target which shows anytime between now and 9/14, but I'm not holding my breath.

You do all understand that between the pandemic and subsequent months-long lockdowns and the upcoming U.S. Presidential election—that by all accounts will be primarily done via mail-in voting—the supply chain and shipping/mailing industry has been deeply affected, causing delays and frustration pretty much worldwide, right? Companies are doing what they can, but you have to cut them some slack.
AcademyofDrX wrote:"The supply chain is fine, there are more deliveries than ever!!" Um, I think that's the point. Even with the ongoing adjustment to the new normal, this is still literally unprecedented.
As an aside, I think the delays are probably more due to international challenges than US domestic ones, but that's basically uninformed speculation. I'm not sure there's much value in trying to figure it out.
Delays happen all the time, you'll get your figures soon enough. Settle down, bro. Play with the wave 1 deluxes in the interim.
The Christmas retail season is responsible for a ridiculous percentage of toy sales, and while sales sorting the pandemic have been strong, no one is sure what the shopping season will look like with some physical retailers likely to be restricted. Hasbro has much bigger concerns right now than when we get our Arcees.

I'm more excited for what's left of Earthrise right now than for Kingdom, most people are the opposite though. I just want ER to have a proper finish, get all it's releases out properly, and not shoved aside, delayed, *absent* from most stores in the US *cough* TR Wave 5 *cough*, and showing up at discount chains accessible to even less, just so the next thing can come along. The expected date for Kingdom to start showing up is the end of this year. I really don't care much, but I'm just trying to get ahead of the rage that's going to ensue when these toys don't appear at that time.

I preordered her from Target many, many months ago. Snapdragon came a couple of days ago, Arcee and Airwave today

Yeah, I gotta give it to Apeface in beast mode. If nothing else, just the actual ape face. But overall he seems to be more coherent and well-designed. Like the ape mode was the primary focus of the designers and the other modes depended on it, whereas with Snapdragon the beast mode is kinda jumbled and looks like an afterthought.Dr. Caelus wrote:william-james88 wrote:Dr. Caelus wrote:

Robot mode as well. Beast mode I'm torn. Apeface's beast mode might be more fun.
Dr. Caelus wrote:I am genuinely conflicted on Arcee. I got her half-off, so I can't complain about much, but...
The hoverboard has a weirdly complex mechanism which, as far as I can tell, is only there so she can transform without removing it. I would rather they had used those parts to hide the car seats and windshield at the front of the board, maybe to reveal guns or a canard. The wheels of course fold in, but I would rather they had tilted out to look like VTOL turbines. Most of all, though, where are the COMBAT ports? I get not making Arcee COMBAT compatible, but they could have made up for it by loading the board's underside with 5mm connectors. Aside from those complaints, my only real disappointnent is how much her face looks like porcelain.
