I don't agree about the Cliffjumper mold.

I never said that.

Aren't Runabout/Runamock remolds of Cliffjumper?

No.

Yeah, they're regular sized deluxe figures.

So that was just a baseless rumor from the early pictures.

So looking at your picture above, I think the Datsun Brothers mold would be a better base. Simply for Kitt's "red wooshing eye" stay upfront and center. It's his trademark after all.

Gigawat is now offered at Walmart.ca for 60$CAN.

They have it in stock right now so I bought it from them and cancelled my E.B. Games preorder.

Turn out Walmart is full of it and never had the damn thing in store to begin with.

And on second thought, I didn't remade my E.B Games preorder.
I don't have money for a 70$ deluxe.

Not sure where to put this but...got a call from EB last night. My Gigawatt preorder came in!

I did a list of vehicles that, if they really wanted to, could create a small line for Knight Rider...

KITT
KARR
Goliath
The Rook tractor-trailer.
Drone cars from Knight of the Drones'
A modified merc car from season three, episode twelve, 'Custom Made Killer'.
Dante
Plato
Domino
Kat
Attack Beast
KROW
KITT from the 2008 series
KARR from the 2008 series

And there's probably more.

Wrong thread I know, but hey I cant find the GB thread. New Ectotron from unreleased ghostbusters film coming out, £43 at Zavvi comes with a blue ghost

*different head, paint wear dirt effect and probably some more differences -no pop out gunner set tho and the legs will still be able to store pens or pencils.

Yeah there's a few differences.

Dunno if it's enough for me to double dip tho. I guess it's a good tie in for the new movie.

Really didnt like the first Ectotron in hand so a reuse is an easy pass. At least Hasbro improved the Deloreans windshield but Ectotron would need some new engineering.

Canadians now have another option to buy Gigawatt.
Amazon.ca at the normal retail price with free shipping.

Man this is one of my favorite TFs of 2020...alas something good from this wretched year!

It's too bad the engineers involved couldn't find way to create a steering column and a dash that folds away. Seats would have been cool too when the doors are open in alt mode.

I remember Classics Hound and how the seats would fold away for transformation, very cool!

I don't know if it was already mentioned but I dig how Gigawatts' gun, the stock end has that OP look to it... .

When I get a chanc1e I'm gonna get Rung and set him up face to face with Gigawatt..."look into my eyes"...'nuff said!

I got Gigawatt, and love him.







I think I love him more than Ectotron. A not-small reason for that has to be my immense love for the BTTF trilogy as a whole and the first movie in particular. And the soundtrack, of course.

"Gonna go Back in Tii-ime..."

Mine arrived yesterday, but I haven't opened it yet.

And imho, one of the most underrated bands. Huey Lewis and the News for Hall of Fame!

Well hey, their music keeps the Heavy's spirits up in battle

This is shipping now from Target. Just add it to the long list of things expected in January coming early, they originally said January 7. I know a bunch of us ordered him with a coupon bringing him down to a Deluxe price so it isn't as expensive of an early release as early Selects and Kingdom figures have been.

Finally played with mine.
He's a great figure, but not worth 60$can plus taxes. At all. The hook and the "garbageinator" won't peg securely on the car. So I left the accessories, including the gun, in the box. Also, a rear wheel popped off in transformation (pop back in but still.)

This toy have amazing details and paint, but this DELUXE with this overall quality do not deserve to be near leader price.

At that price, especially because it's not rare at all and sold everywhere, Gigawatt is a C- at most.
At voyager price, it would be boosted to a B+.

Mine just shipped out from Target, should arrive early next week. Really looking forward to him

Honestly Hasbro is starting to price me out of this hobby overall. Even impulse buying deluxes is getting pricy.

Just ordered mine from eBay. Has anyone here experienced the paint scratching on the chest I've heard about, and if so, can you prevent it by transforming him super carefully?

Never heard about that problem and I don't see how it's even possible to scratch off paint on the chest when transforming. There is absolutely nothing that rub there.

Gigawatt arrived, and he is pretty dang nifty and fun
