So Ratchet going up for pre-order on walgreens.com is interesting. I'm not sure if it would be worth it to pre-order especially if you then have to pay shipping. All the previous walgreens exclusives in the US were really easy to get in my area, hell one store near me had a TR Brainstorm, TR Clones and PotP Wreck Gar on the same shelf last year.

But I am impatient and if pre-ordering will means I won't have to wait for late October/early November for them to reach my area, and saves me from wasting gas while looking for the first appearances in my area...

Decisions.

Same boat, but I think I'm just going to order and be done with it. Ratchet is a must have for me.

I'm only preordering the ones I must have. Others that I want, but aren't musts, I'll leave for the thrill of the hunt

Wal-Mart exclusives? That's strange

News Credits: 10 · by **sol magnus** » Thu Jul 18, 2019 4:29 pm

Classic Animation is nice, but I'm not rebuying those two for that. Bluestreak is a definite...Soundblaster a "we'll see."

THAT REFLECTOR SET! I NEED IT! :shock:

Thank god that set was just revealed before I saw Reflectors in store. I already own Visualizer and I love my G1. So that set is just PERFECT for me.

Same ... not that I'd see them in store, but I'm glad this was revealed before I went out and ordered three of them.

I just hope they pop up at a place I can access.

As for those "animation" Prime and Megatron ... ugh. No.

Hot on the heels of product panel at San Diego Comic-Con 2019, we have some conveniently timed news. Thanks to Hasbro's Facebook page, we can see official stock photos for the 35th anniversary subline for War for Cybertron: Siege. We can see "Classic Animation Optimus Prime," "Classic Animation Megatron", Bluetsreak, and Soundblaster; the latter two were seen at Hasbro breakfast event at the convention. As we can read from the attached text:

News Flash: War for Cybertron & G1 exclusives featuring some of the most iconic bots EVER now available for presale @Walmart see image captions

These are Walmart exclusives, and are available for presale, though the links seem to have issues functioning. So, what are your thoughts on these? Take a look at the photos and tell us in the forums below!

I'll try to get my hands on Bluestreak if/when I get to collecting Prowl and Smokescreen. In particular Prowl as a low priority for me because, at the time, he looked absolutely terrible.

The cell shaded looking optimus/megs will be a bit out of place on display tho the effect looks good but it all depends on which optimus I can get cheaper as I plan to some how cut off the back kibble.

I am loving that new Prime and Megatron. If I didn't already have both and had the extra cash, I would grab these two instantly.

I feel like the unpainted wheels should bother me, but they don't. Kinda wish Prime's ax was translucent orange though.

Thanks HasTak! :BOWDOWN:

Wow, the cell shading on Optimus and Megatron make them look like they jumped out of Transformers:Devastation, AND I LOVE IT! =P~

I'm really, really new about these...how works outside the USA about the exclusive? I mean...I really want Ratchet, for example, but it's a Walgreen or whatever exclusive ...how can I get it? eBay? Amazon no right? Also, some of these items go in pre-order at some time, mean just or the online shop of these websites? Or all around the world ( I think about amazon.it)? Thanks.

In Canada, some (but not all) exclusives have shown up at EB Games. This is especially true of Walgreen exclusives.
