Smokescreen's deco is really great, fun and sporty, but I have to give the "who wore it best" award to Bluestreak. That deco is just pure sex. Everyone else has made it to shelves, but Streak is still camping out on my desk.emlit wrote:Sentinel_Primal wrote:I happened to find Barricade in stores after work, and I gotta say, in hand, he definitely looks better.

I’m really happy with Smokescreen. I agree with others that the mold is one of the worst from Siege, but it’s not bad overall. The racing paint looks great on the alt mode and the fact he came with three weapons is a win in my book.

Seeing the single Refraktor makes me wonder if anyone picked up just one besides kids and parents who wouldn't know about the combined camera mode.

Also, I got Ratchet but yet to release him, but I can already see the leg panel popping off, just like Ironhide.

I have the reconnaissance team and 3 of the regular release (yeah, I like to army build, especially cons). I'd say go for it. The regular release is a really nice deco, plus you can have the regular release be the photographer when the other 3 are in camera mode.
I saw that exact same load out at my Walgreens and have heard of similar reports of Reflector being found. I'd assume Walgreens has their own case variant for Siege. I don't hunt Walgreens often, but I haven't seen Siege figures there until Ratchet showed up.emlit wrote:I live in a smaller market, but I’ve never seen more than one Refraktor at once anywhere.

No worries on Ratchet's leg panels. They tab on perfectly and don't come off even when tugged. Pull hard enough and they will of course. Hasbro fixed the issue with Ratchet. Enjoy, he's the better of the twoRodimus Prime wrote:Also, I got Ratchet but yet to release him, but I can already see the leg panel popping off, just like Ironhide.

I originally passed on Ironhide and a few others in Siege due to personal preference. However, considering Earthrise is eschewing the Cybertronian alt modes for Earth modes, I’m debating picking up a few Siege bots I didn’t get. I like Ratchet - thoughts on Ironhide as a whole?
It's a big, beefy well scaled to the rest of the Siege cast mold. Transformation has some neat tricks and pegs in nicely. My leg panels pop off easily, but when pegged into the side of the leg or alt mode it's a none issue. Looks spot on and is your best CHUG option. I will say alt mode seems a little week, but gets the job done. I do wish the windshield was a smokey grey. The hammer/rifle is cool and works well with the posabilty of bot mode.

They just stuffed everything that was on it into the Transformers section in the regular toy aisles, and I mean STUFFED. The pegs were overflowing with Bluestreak and Wave 3 figures. The Voyager spots on the shelf were STACKED with all of the regular retail Siege Voyagers except for wave 1 Optimus Prime and the upcoming Apeface. Even the area over head was stacked with extra Siege figures. I don't know why they gave up on the display so soon. It couldn't have been up for more than a week.

I was looking around my local one like an idiot, until I found them by poking around the halloween clearance and holiday shopping aisles. They should be in the area with the larger toys that the regular toy aisles won't accommodate.
Because Walmart I've seen them do that pretty frequently. Also every square inch of floor/shelf space is a potential money earner. It's Xmas time, stuff the shelves and move out the other promotional end caps and merchandise. Rinse repeat.Wolfman Jake wrote:I don't know why they gave up on the display so soon.

Nobluck there. My stores have a bunch of stuff like tgat by the Bikes but no joy there either, and aisle displays of toys running from Electronics to Automotive and even stuff going down the main aisle towards the checkout, so it really feels like they could he everywhere... Or nowhere
