Guess it's just me wondering then. Oh well

DeathReviews wrote:The only question I'd like answered is, will they EVER re-stock Velocitron Cosmos on Pulse, or SOMEWHERE besides Walmart, so that US-based customers can get one? Because Walmart bungled and botched that figure big time. Completely impossible to find, unless by dumb luck you just happen to be in a store when they unload a fresh box of deluxes, and snag the lone copy of Cosmos that will be in there.

Also while I would love to be granted the privilege of asking a question to them directly, I think those who represent the fandom are doing a pretty good job as well.
Of course my questions strictly pertain to the holes in my collection. Which I'm sure some would appreciate, but not everyone would.
And the sad reality is that that's always been the case.william-james88 wrote:o.supreme wrote:It was nice that the Q&A was on video.

The issue with those questions (ie will we be getting this figure?) is that we never get a good response.

william-james88 wrote:Yeah, they aknowledged that mess up. There won't be a restock on Pulse, that's for sure. If Walmart is holding onto some stock that was never put on shelves, you might end up seeing it at a liquidator. if they put everything on shelves, then no there won't be a restock. What will happen is you'll have to wait a couple of years for the exclusivity to expire and then Hasbro can rerelease him in some other way like they are doing with Dirge.

Kingdom Blaster is slightly taller than Soundwave, which is something people nitpicked about when Kingdom Blaster first came out.o.supreme wrote:Another point I thought was kind of brow raising was that one of the producers stated that instead of using the Netflix Soundwave for SS86 ( which to me would be fine) he would actually preferr to do another all new mold to make him match height with Kingdom Blaster ( I thought they were already basically the same height?)
So while some WFC toys were basically SS86 adjacent, some I guess aren't....
