Toy colour Galvatron (first ever gen selects leader)

Galactic Man Shackwave would like to have a word with you...

There's way too much salt in this thread, is this the new Unicron thread? I loved the Prime Wars trilogy, but I'm a sucker for play features and ease of transformation, where most collectors want pretty robots that look like the cartoon. Now here we are with Kingdom and SS86, with the most screen-accurate likenesses that Generations has ever seen, and there's still plenty to complain about. Maybe I'm just an easy mark, every figure they release I'm like, I love it, best toy ever, gimme.

Haha if you're an easy mark I guess I am too, because I'm loving what's being released rn. And if the prices are higher for higher quality toys then so be it. I wasn't a big fan of the prime wars trilogy, though of course I love my optimal Optimus and Broadside. As far as all the complaints go, I get annoyed at times too but perhaps constant complaints are what raised the standard for toys to be as good as they are today haha if you want to look at it that way. Anyways, I guess keep in mind that with any situation, negativity tends to be noticed a lot more than positivity. And those that are content tend to have less to say than those that are not.
I think of it like when someone complains about a SO to their friends or family, or complains about friends or family to a SO. What tends to happen is the negative impression sticks with the person receiving the complaints because they never hear about or witness any of the positives, and they tend to dislike that person or people because all they have to go off of are the complaints. Same thing with transformers toys

It's not that there's plenty to complain about. It's just people love to find things to complain about.

I'd pay 10$ more if Select Artfire come with his two Targetmasters.

Two? Artfire only has one: Nightstick (Fracas in English).

I'm hoping for another Ricochet/Stepper release, repainted from the Studio Series '86 Jazz mold, to go with the new Artfire. The PotP mold is not cutting it anymore.

[sol magnus]

the last two unrevealed Selects are Toy Galvatron and Artfire.

Don't forget about Road Rage.

Ope, got me there.
I lumped them into the same grey area as Thrust and Runabout were in Earthrise. I believe T-Wrecks and Road Rage are both supposed to be Target exclusives, with T-Wrecks being a Redcard.

The truth is we don't know. Road rage might be selects or simply target exclusive, like T Wrecks is.

But the year already has plenty of selects regardless.

G2 Ramjet
Deep Cover
Transmutate
Toy colour Galvatron (first ever gen selects leader)
Artfire

Maybe we'll get one more, don't know, but I wouldn't expect a whole lot more.

Galaxy Man Shockwave disagrees with "first ever gen selects leader"

Based on the only one I have, the United version.



But I see the G2 and MP only have one.
Regardless, Select Artfire better come with at least his main targetmaster even if it sell for 10$ more as a consequence.

That second one was for Hot Rod. Sparks is Firebolt by another name.

Actually just by coincidence, I was scanning TFSource' Spring Sale, and they have Galactic Man "On Sale" (actually just normal price ). Not sure if they ship to Canada, but it is in stock now if you want it.

Unfortunately their list of what was on sale didn't have anything I was interested in.

Are there any Gamestop's up north? I got my Shackwave from them last December.

Woohoo! I found Kingdom Ultra Magnus at Target over my lunch break! He looks so good with those vibrant red and blue hues and the bright white. I still have yet to spot the Wave 2 Deluxes around the Twin Cities area. I've found all the other size classes from the second wave now that I have Ultra Magnus, though. This is already looking to be a much smoother distribution than Earthrise was last year.

Is his wave mate BW Megatron? Hopefully to get that toy soem more distribution as well. Seems like Kingdom wave 1 really came and went quickly. Hopefully there was enough produced so everyone was satisfied (glad to see it's not over produced, but we don't want the extreme shortages of TR wave 5 etc... or even ER wave 3)

There were two other Leaders on the shelf, Optimus Prime and Beast Megatron. I bet Beast Megatron is the wave mate of Ultra Magnus, though, and Optimus Prime might just get repacked for Wave 3 with Galvatron.

[Razorbeast88]

I got paleotrex and cyclonus from Walmart, but I have yet to see BW Megatron or Optimus Primal sadly

I was able to get cheetor but had to get him from gamestop

[TF-fan kev777]

First part is confirmed, second part is very likely.

All I've seen of Wave 1 are the Cores and Deluxes. The Voyager and Leader shelves are always empty at my stores.

Mine while not technically empty, might as well be, they get one case of voyager and leader class which sells almost immediately, and it is several days/more then a week, before they get another single case. Not sure why they don't order more than one at a time anymore, maybe the glut of Siege Shockwaves that plagued shelves for almost 2 years has made them wary of getting even moderate quantities of product

I'd like to see what T-Wrecks robot mode head is going to look like. Hopefully it'll be different from Megatrons.

I got my Dinobot in and I cannot get the thighs in raptor mode to fully close. It's annoying, although I wasn't planning on displaying his beast mode with the hands anyway.

We've already seen it, it is basically the same head, just grinning.

I've seen everything except for Cyclonus (which is annoying, because he's the only one left that I want), but nothing has stuck around. Only stuff left is the Cores.

I included the alternate head in my article.

I might be wrong, but IIRC, a leaker who has T-Wrecks in hand says that the head is the same as Megatron's.

To be fair, there really isn't much of a difference between the two, other than the grimace.

[blackeyedprime]

Kapows added some opics to their facebook of Galvatron...he doesnt look like he could find a fatsuit to fit him. Definitely chonky.
