Man, just tried to buy a Springer I finally found at Target after getting out of Spider-Man: Far From Home, but got stopped by a streetdate of 7/28. I don't remember the streetdate people mentioned being that late in July. Was that the streetdate everyone else was hit with, or has it been pushed back even later??

No response they might realistically give will give me what I actually want, which is to be able to buy Springer from them right now. Plus, there's a likelyhood they'd reprimand or punish the employees at that store, and I don't want anyone there to be punished for such a small mistake as accidentally putting something on the shelf that shouldn't have been yet.

Yes, it was always that late, same as the pre-order date on the site :HEADHURTS:

Ugh. Still a silly restriction for Hasbro and/ or Target to put on the item. What reason does it even have to be streetdated? It's not tied in with an upcoming movie or show, and it's not a situation like LEGO has where they like to keep their seasons of product released at consistent times.

You could at least get an answer from Hasbro as to why the streetdate is even there in the first place, and an answer from Target as to why they're abiding by it when their biggest competitor isn't. Don't want to get someone in trouble? Just tell Target you've heard this is happening, don't name the specific store or anything.

Got my hands on Brunt today, and I am pleased. He is about a head shorter than Ironhide, which I think isn't news at this point, and while I would admit it could be nice were he a bit taller, I am fine with it as is. He feels like the kind of guy who's a bit short but still jacked, he's suitably bruiser-y for the size class. His alt mode feels great (and his visible peeking eye is hilarious), and I like that his Weaponizer parts aren't all blatantly guns, it helps distinguish the Weaponizers. Cog is pretty much all guns all the time, Six-Gun has options of guns, jetpack, and Doomfist, and Brunt has armor, guns, and a bulky Doc Ock-looking setup. He definitely has the weakest-feeling Moon Boots so far, but I have only tried him on Flywheels' giant feet so far, so maybe they'll work better on bots like Refraktor or Spinister. Plus I love his coloring, I think he's the perfect shade of Decepticon purple.

I'll probably take another Weaponizing pic when it's not nighttime and I've settled on a loadout/setup I like better. Hope everyone here who celebrates it had a happy 4th of July!

Given how many people have experienced the streetdate problem, I'd be surprised if someone hasn't already tried to contact Hasbro or Target about it, and given that we haven't gotten word of an explanation for the streetdate, I'm guessing the answer wasn't really clear or meaningful. Plus, contacting customer service of any kind is incredibly draining for me. I'll just wait for the streetdate to pass or get Springer online.

Self check-out is your friend. Take Springer and another voyager up to self checkout. Scan the other voyager, put springer in your bag. Now you have a springer

Well, at this point they'll have taken the Springers back off the shelf, but I'll keep that in mind for next time, even if it does feel a bit sneaky (not in terms of how I personally feel about it, but in terms of how it might seem to people watching).

If the news about Omega Supreme is true, I'm perfectly fine with the delay. Imagine if Trypticon had been delayed a couple of months, all the defects upon release could possibly have been fixed (although I apparently got a later production run that didn't have any of the flaws.... ;) ). As we have seen, since many are so outspoken about QC issues including MYSELF (especially with the issues I had with selects), I'm more than OK with this.

My local Target in Ann Arbor, MI had Battle Masters on clearance for $2.98.
Meijer had them on clearance for $4.19 and Micromasters for $6.99.

Was surprised to see this. I picked up one more each of Firedrive and Blowpipe just for the blast effects.

Mine is at home right now waiting for me. Where else can you put the titan masters besides the cockpit?

The rear cockpit/fastpack has two slots that look like they can accommodate titan masters (possibly depending on their head mode sculpt) in Jet mode. If you pull up on the backpack like you do for transformation you can place them in.

Remember in the animated movie that there was some discussion of who was reformatted by unicorn into scourge, cyclonus, and the sweeps...Does fracas being paired in this set with skywarp have anything with to do with him becoming scourge in the movie? Just a coincidence, or is Hasbro just "toying" with us...pun was intended :D

It's unrelated. And the argument was over whether it was Skywarp or Bombshell who became Cyclonus.

Besides, that's not really Fracas in the Phantomstrike set. It's Premium Firedrive. It was supposed to be something of a Fracas, looking at the back of the box, but the dinks at HasTak botched it. :roll: #-o :-x Everybody should complain to both Hasbro and Amazon - and probably cancel their order if they've ordered it.

I think either they wanted to paint him, and realized it was unpaintable, or something happened with the tooling where black wouldn't work QC wise. Nothing some black plastic dye can't fix. Plus we can keep his arms grey for toy accuracy.

Just a coincidence, or is Hasbro just "toying" with us...pun was intended :D

Besides, that's not really Fracas in the Phantomstrike set. It's Premium Firedrive. It was supposed to be something of a Fracas, looking at the back of the box, but the dinks at HasTak botched it. :roll: #-o :-x Everybody should complain to both Hasbro and Amazon - and probably cancel their order if they've ordered it.

Personally, I actually like the look and plan to use the Fracas in that set for Counterpunch and maybe pick up an extra Firedrive for Punch for a little nod to Sideways from the UT

I think either they wanted to paint him, and realized it was unpaintable, or something happened with the tooling where black wouldn't work QC wise. Nothing some black plastic dye can't fix. Plus we can keep his arms grey for toy accuracy.

Wowww. #-o :evil:
1. Black plastic dye won't fix the BLACK HEAD AND BODY. :roll: :-x
2. The plastic is not likely unpaintable.
3. You're talking out your aft with the "maybe black plastic wouldn't work QC wise" thing. Like, what kind of logic led you to that conclusion? Especially since it's not the body - you know, the part that has the potentially-delicate ball joints and which was black on Firedrive - that was supposed to be black.
4. It's much more likely that they simply, y'know, got the gray and blackplastics switched when they loaded the injectors.

This is what Fracas' original toy looked like:

This is what SIEGE Fracas was supposed to look like

And this is what he actually looks like:
