Another Astrotrain?

And Springer looks nice, but why are we doing the same characters over and over when there are so many that haven't been revisited?

There’s been 2 Springer figures in 6 years. Hardly overdoing it.

Plus we’ve pretty much gotten everybody except autobot Targetmasters and a few headmasters. It’s not like there’s that many left to modernize. Literally 13 years of CHUG. It’s lasted longer than the original G1 run.

The well is drained clean.

But it is funny to hear people say “another of this character?” When a couple years ago people were throwing hissy fits that’ characters were being made into headmasters saying “that character isn’t a headmaster. Why are they doing this?”

3 Springers actually (4 if you count botcon)

Meanwhile
No Deluxe Insecticons (except Chopshop)
No Autobot Targetmasters

No Throttlebots except Chase

There’s actually been 1 unique Springer in the 6 years. There’s been 4 since 2007 and 2 of them weren’T triple changers. So, as I said, a new Springer is hardly overdoing it.

[RodimusConvoy13]

I dropped this everywhere else, might as well drop it here too. Siege wave 2 deluxes $10 shipped, well pre-order anyway.

Thanks for posting this! I orders Sixgun, Ironhide, and the tapes. And I’m pretty sure I have free shipping for the rest of the year too!

I'm not talking about Unique Springers, I'm talking about Springers period.

The point is, when it comes to new figures (either repaints or new molds) they keep going to the same well of characters. If there's another character you'd like a toy, ANY toy of, you're beat because we need Jetfire number 4 and Hot Rod number 6.

And yes, we already had one unique Springer in addition to the other Springers that everyone loved. Did we get even one unique of the guys I mentioned above? Even a repaint?

You need to realize this line isn’t Star Wars. A character who got 3 frames in Rebirth Pt 1 is not nearly as we’ll known as a main character from the ‘86 movie. Hasbro likes their deep cuts, but they also have to make money.

Yeah, I get that. I also know, that they might make a little more money, if they didn't pad a line with 75% characters people already have and may not buy a 3rd version of. People loved new arrivals like Cog and Brunt. Kids don't care either way (They're not the ones clamoring for yet another Springer and Jetfire) We already got out mainstays to every line like Optimus and Bumblebee and Megatron, they can diversify things up a little more than Prowl number 4

We did get a Cyberverse Guzzle in the DoTM line. It was an entirely new mold.

Also Hasbro just started doing Micromasters again and we have little to no idea who they'll make next, and while I doubt every character will get a new toy, most of them will.

Springer is a popular character who hasn't gotten a new toy since Generations, so of course they'd make a new one.

I agree we should get seacons.

But in all honesty how many people actually remember or care about the omnibots or most of the characters in your list? Not many. Infact they were lucky enough to even get toys in the alternators line at all. I never even heard of them untill I got this ultimate collectors book.

Man, **** Hasbro Pulse. Getting my hopes up, and them crushing them.

What did they do that crushed your hopes?

Well I did find out finally via e-mail that apparently with Pulse, Paypal only works for items in stock (cant be used on Pre-orders). I just didn't want to pay via a credit card because I don't like charges dangling on for unknown periods of time. Some companies charge you right away, others wait until the item is in stock, there is no consistency, and I don't like having to remember that *X* amount could be randomly charged to my card at any moment.

I can’t even read what this was all about in the first place!

[-Kanrabat-]

and I don't like having to remember that *X* amount could be randomly charged to my card at any moment.

That's why I don't preorder anything anymore.
I don't have a Damocles Sword hanging over my head. Plus often, my mind changed MONTHS after I preordered a thing. I then facepalmed at myself and ask "why in the nine hells did I preorder that thing? Now I'm stuck buying this or I lose my reputation with that store..."


Then I pay. Then I get the thing. Then I hate it more than what I would have normally. Especially if I had to pay custom fees on top.
So, no. No more credit card purchases. No more preordering. And if I really, REALLY want something, I pay it cash as it is available.

Still I was able to get the Kotobukiya Pokemon figures of Haruka and Touko only because I pre-ordered them....
All right. I'll be honest and if I ever do preorder something, it will only be for some top priority wants that I know I will never be able to get locally and will be the kind of item that will be instantly sold out. And those will be pretty rare items. Like I said for the MP-44 thread, I no longer buy (or pre-order) "kinda wants". Only the top priority REALLY wants.

[Ironhidensh]

Yeah, they had cheap prices for an hour or two, then jacked them back up before I got an order placed.

Litteraly raised them while I clicked the checkout icon. Added SS DotM Megs at 39.99, but when I went to pay, he was 49.99

[megamanfan]

goddamit, they keep making good stuff. i don't want to have to dip into the seigeline as funds are tight right now, but holy crap i have yet to see one that looks actually bad. that springer looks great. that prime looks great. i really, really want a coal-train astrotrain. maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan...

But to be honest, we all knew this couldn't last forever, you were just the really unlucky one

[Flashwave]

Kinda glad Pulse sold out of Ecto1, I woulda paid that price and I'm not a GHostbusters Fan. Don't like that you cant preorder with PayPal, that sucks. And they are out of most of the figures I wanted anyway. Oh well.

Sige Springer looks like a fun toy. I dont like the colors though, too faded. Cartoon accurate or know, I prefer the richness of the T30 Springer. I'll probably be unable to resist getting him.

[RobRobRobRobRob]

Toy Fair 2019 has not even officially begun, and already we have a new show-floor image of the highly anticipated WFC Siege Titan Class Omega Supreme! The image comes courtesy of Vector Sigma on Facebook, who uploaded them straight from the Jacob K. Javits Center in New York. The image showcases Omega Supreme in both robot and base modes, and gives us our best idea yet of how the figure will scale with the rest of Siege's lineup. Eagle-eyed viewers will be able to sight several other figures, including several recognizable Studio Series figures a ways into the background.

With Toy Fair 2019 officially begin within twelve hours of writing, be sure to stay tuned to Seibertron.com for more from this highly hyped event!
