Don't worry, sorry if the comment sounded testy or agressive, I have trouble communicating tone through text.

I just did the same thing...pre-ordered V. Optimus Primal yesterday on BigBadToyStore. I got Cheetor on Target so we'll see what happens. I've never pre-ordered anything before, really, and hearing all the complaints makes me wonder what figure will show up when and how much frustration I'll have to go through before it's all said and done (hoping little-to-none).
Sowndwave76 wrote:I think the biggest thing right now with preorders is the release/delivery dates changing and getting pushed back. Which is annoying, but in the grand scheme, if I still get what I paid for, it's not a huge deal to me... Especially because I am pretty good about only buying the figures I really want. I'm used to being patient and waiting.
alekese wrote:A hopeful reminder for those who have despaired over 'character x from the portrait got cut from the listings/was scrapped': the leaks we have are specifically for the mass retail lineup, the toys that go to every store equally. It very specifically does not take into account store exclusives. If we take a look at the first two wfc lines, a significant portion of the lines were exclusive to one store or another, moreso if one counts the netflix subline and selects releases of those molds as well. I put together a list by line, ignoring store and omitting names of same character redecos and battle masters for brevity's sake. (But still noting their presence)
Siege: 19 new dlx+ characters, 13 deluxe+ same char redecos, 20 MM/BM across 7 standalone releases, 2 sublines +selects
Greenlight +BM
Alphastrike with Slamdance +redeco & BM
Phantomstrike with Skywarp +3 BM
Fan vote 3pack with Aragorn +2 new head retools
Rainmaker 3pack with Acid Storm, Ion Storm, Nova Storm
Micromaster 10pack
Ratchet
35th Soundblaster, bluestreak +2 redecos
Siege Selects Red Wing, Cromar, zetar, lancer, nightbird, hot shot, smokescreen +2 redecos
Netflix wave 1 scrapface, hotlink +6 redeco & 5 BM
Earthrise: 26 new, 8 redeco, 4 TR rerelease, 15-16 MM/BM and counting across 9 standalone, 2 sublines +selects
Thrust
Seeker 2pack with Skywarp, thundercracker
decepticlone 2pack TR rerelease
runabout
dead optimus redeco
Conehead 2pack with dirge, ramjet
autobot 2pack with ironhide, prowl
odyssey paradron 2pack ratchet, lifeline
odyssey micron micromaster 6pack
odyssey biosfera autoclone TR rerelease
Centurion weapons pack *if counting its ER ID
Bluestreak
netflix wave 2 bumblebee, elita, soundwave, nemesis +4 redeco & 5-6 BM *giza is weird
selects exhaust, greasepit, hubcap, bug bite, hothouse, tigertrack, rotorstorm, roritchi, sandstorm, cordon/spinout +3 redecos* (counting SG here) & 4 bm
2 more odyssey sets
For good or for ill, a solid third of the line isn't included in the mass retail list. Admittedly, none of these were entirely new molds, merely extensive retools at best, so new molds might be off the table, but I'm holding out hope.

So glad I preordered all on Amazon, who knows when I'll get them but at least they've never canceled on me like Walmart or Target. I know Rattrap will fit in ER Prime's trailer but I wonder if Cheetor would too? That would make for some cool pics.
Primal is in more of a crouch than the Primes behind him, but with the perspective and angle of the photo, I cannot tell how much taller he will actually be with his legs straight.Razorbeast88 wrote:Primal is looking better and better
He looked pretty short in comparison to the primes though, im wondering if that was his stance and position in relation to them or if hes really that short
You're right, looking at the beast-mode legs I now they did do a good job on the animal knees. Kitty crouched down in the back of the trailer with one of the Datsun bros trying to convince him to come outRazorbeast88 wrote:I was thinking the same about rattrap that would be so fun
And id like to think cheetor will fit as well, considering his beast mode isn't too wide and has enough articulation to crouch down

Yes. Now go to your room and don't play with yourself.
