It's so horrible and chunky and unarticulated! Take it away! Take it away!

Are you talking about the RTS version or G1?

And where's this 'FOC Wreckers cancelled' coiming from?!

I wouldn't worry too much, since they -were- announced. They might just not show up at regular retail, popping up at discount stores later.

We've yet to see a trace from them in stores, yet we already have in-hand images of the first Deluxe toys of the next line! Don't tell me you're not worried.

I wasn't worried... I also don't see why they'd be canceled, or that seeing the Generations Deluxe-class toys is cause to think these ones would be canceled. Toys get delayed, after all.

But the fact that we haven't even seen any first hand images of the Wreckers, but we have with other figures, is quite worrisome. :-s

We saw some in-hand images of Whirl and all his garish orange about two months ago, including his final package card. And not a peep since, which is probably why we're so concerned.

All I want are Impactor and Roadbuster. Isn't there some way to acquire them without preordering all five of the wave?

Hopefully this means we're not too far from the beginning of the Thrilling 30 line.

And the cancellation of the FoC Wreckers...

Yes! The Wreckers wave was standing in the way of the wave most people were waiting for! My wait will be shorter!

Or I could just keep bidding for that one lonely Trailcutter on eBay and shut the hell up...

I've been wanting a Trailbreaker for eons and i kinda envisioned something different in bot mode.
I'll get em if i see him i guess. Just not as stoked as i thought I'd be.

Right off the hop i'll say i'm not a fan of the wee pointy feet and the chest. It makes him look sort of tubby.
I don't know.....something just ain't sittin right for me in bot mode.

EDIT: I think the chest isn't quite transformed all the way. The grill of the truck should sit a little higher giving him for of a chest and be less droopy. Or maybe it's the angle of that particular shot. It seems different than the product shots in that way to me.

Have you read MTMTE? It's called a Beer Belly. This is Trailthingy we're talkin' about. :lol:

Welp, looks like I get to put away my Deluxe movie Ironhide. Liked that fig, bt he was my Trail Stand-in. Coincidentally, I swore up and down that Hasbro had a lot of work cut out for them to get me to box up the Movie Hoist figure... dowgonit I think they might have pulled it off too...

So can we see an image of what the vehicle mode looks like without the camper top?

Some people must be desperate to get this guy early. $56 (so far) for a deluxe class toy that will be showing up at mass retail, think I'll wait for the one I ordered from BBTS

I'm looking mine over right now (an EU/UK edition), and the paint on the visor is completely smooth.

So what is the general release date on Hoist?

Would it be in 2013 still or not until 2014?

Why are people crazy? o_O; I mean, it's going to show up at retail VERY SHORTLY.

I've seen that on another Scout figure (Crankcase). It's either excess plastic or paint. On my Crankcase (Chinese packaging from TRU), the stuff over his visor actually came off with no damage to the paint or figure (must have been excess plastic?).

Unless that's paint. Anyway, my point is that it's no reason to really panic until you can inspect the toy and attempt recovery!
