Oh man, that sucks. It might suck even more if I tell you that Amazon price matched Scorponok to Target on my order. Still waiting to see if they match on Tracks.

I do still pre-order with Target, but treat them just like a Walmart pre-order, it is just a back-up plan that I likely won't need.

Ugh and even worse than that is the fact that two days after I canceled some folks here got their Amazon orders shipped...

You gotta pick your horse and stay with it, man.

Or juggle riding 2 horses at once while always being ready to drop one or the other at a moments shipping notice.

Yeah it's frustrating when it seems the toy distributors decide your horse will always come in last place, whether you stick with it, or not, and betting on 3 or more horses to guarantee a winner can be problematic.

And then when you pick the wrong horse and go into a bar, the bartender says "why the long face?"

Well if we spam hasbro/TT with a bunch of requests for this guy we'll be taking them to the water, only a matter of time before they drink

Hopefully in the coming years. I'd like to see more of the lesser known characters from Japanese BW get paired up with prominent ones. The Sideswipe/Skywarp Battle Across Time idea is a novel one. Who could they pair up Mach Kick With...? Well Movieverse Barricade is a Mustang... (as were Alternators Wheeljack and Grimlock)...

I just google searched Vehicle Models named after Horses. Not sure if any Transformers have these as an alt mode though: Mustang (already mentioned), Subaru Brumby, Dodge Colt, Ford Bronco, Hyundai Pony, Rolls-Royce Camargue, Ford Pinto, Mitsubishi Starion, Hyundai Equus , Pegaso, and Steyr-Puch Haflinger.

If we cant find a match, maybe just a car that has a lot of Horse Power.

He could be paired with anyone with a cowboy accent/personality. G1 Ironhide, BW Quickstrike, RiD'01 X-Brawn, etc.

C'mon, man, my dude is standing right there.

OK... anyone else seeing Wave 1 again instead of Wave 3 in the stores?

In the US? Yes.

Yup, what little is getting stocked is wave 1 again

Jelze Bunnycat wrote:OK... anyone else seeing Wave 1 again instead of Wave 3 in the stores?

I've seen Wave 1 Deluxes get restocked instead of getting Wave 3 yet, yeah, but the most recent stuff I've seen in every other class is the Wave 3 stuff...which sucks, because literally all I want from this wave is Wingfinger.

Although don't forget also, Wave 3 Voyagers have Cyclonus repacks, so if you're seeing Cyclonus on shelves by himself that doesn't inherently mean the store got more Wave 1 stock.

I've seen Rhinox twice. Not seen any wave 3 Core or Deluxe yet. Galvatron probably has been around, but all snatched up because I've seen more Magnus lately, which is who he is boxed with. But as for wave 1, yeah I've seen more deluxes get restocked. I also saw a Leader Kingdom Prime (for the first time), but thought it was just an online return because it was all by itself.

True. At this point I'm already tired of seeing Rhynox.

It seems there was like one shipment of Galvatron in my area (which I missed) because the Leader Class assortment is back to Magnus/Beast Megatron around here.

Wave 1 Deluxe and Voyagers have returned in my area, with solid cases of Dracodon as the only Wave 3 figure. Walmart doesn't know how to properly stock time-sensitive merchandise it seems...

Context?

Because I'm not clicking on some random ling that will lead me to some shady casino site.

Not sure if you're joking or not, but the context is in the url, they're instructions for the fossilizer combiner from a fellow tf fan site

It was just a way to point out that just dropping a link without saying anything looked pretty damn spammy. Even is the link seems "obvious".

Its my article about the combiner shown in the fanfest video, I felt like sharing it to as many people as I could so others can try and make the combiner

Thanks for that! Not sure I want to build the combiner that way but good to know how the “official” version is put together.

I saw Rhinox for the first time Monday, two of them, and no Cyclonus, I've only seen him at retail once. He's definitely the popular girl of Kingdom, but not as popular as SS86 Scourge, still haven't seen on of those at retail (had to get mine from Amazon).

Emerje

I remember people saying they feared Kingdom arcee would be the only thing left from the Kingdom waves. Well, still too early to tell but damn do I see lots of Ractonite.

I think the deluxes overall have had pretty good distribution so far..., although we really haven't seen wave 3 at mass retail yet, and wave 1 seems to be restocking in the U.S. (which may be bad timing. If the wave 1 restock sits, it will prevent wave 3 from hitting many locations)

I should have taken a picture though, last week I was at a Target that had six Kingdom Arcee's and nothing else. Ractonite by default I'd imagine would be next in line, as it is a character with no previous history, but it has sold well enough in my area.

As of this writing, Paleotrex and Ractonite are the ONLY Kingdom Figures I own. I have Wingfinger, Rodimus, The Ark, and Slammer on pre-order.

*Oh I also purchased Dinobot and Rhinox as gifts for friends.

I still have yet to see the wave 3 Core Class, Inferno, or Galvatron at retail.
