Most Walmart stores can’t stock their shelves either! Target usually does better on that end, but not by much, and not consistently.

I'm not saying they're good at it, just that that's their belief system

That’s the real problem, isn’t it? Economics and business are just “belief systems,” operating off decades old theories that were never tested or proven, just taken for granted. None of this is working out in practice, but since the field is so woefully unscientific, it can’t grow and self-correct. And now we have political parties trying to right a terrible economic system with wishes, hope, and magical thinking, not actual evidence.

I was able to cancel my previous order and make a new one that is $5 cheaper. Thanks!

I've had mine pre-ordered since June, wonder if Amazon is going to match the price when they finally charge and ship it.

It currently states $52.99, rather than the 45.99 $47.99 on the item page.

Hope they keep the Pre-Order price guarantee.

Just as a warning, you may want to make sure your pre-order is the same listing. I had an issue with a Blu-Ray set a while back. I pre-ordered several months before it's release. It started at $45, and eventually went down to $25. But I was charged full price because the reduced one they said "was a separate listing" for the same item. I had to argue with management, and got a refund, but was still a hastle.

Thanks. The link in my order page takes me to the $47.99 listing, and it tells be I bought on June 1st so I suppose it's the same listing. Otherwise, how can one know?

If you do a search by name, and come up with more than one listing for the exact same product, then you will know. I searched and I can only find the $47.99 one same as you.

I don't see one priced at $45.99

Sorry, I meant the $47.99, which has the $5.00 off under it from its original $52.99 price.

Regarding the preorder vs finding in stores, I have a good example happening now at Target: I pre-ordered the Marvel Legends Iron Monger set, and that set came in stock at Target.com Sunday, but my preorder still hasn't showed signs of shipping.

It does get really annoying when stuff like that happens.

Primevsprime put up a review of covert agent ravage

I would've liked a comparison between him and Tigatron but im happy that the comparison with Soundwave was there. Pretty cool

Now im wondering if this will be used for a transmetal Tigatron or if they'd be willing to remold kingdom tigatron the way they used cheetor to make ravage. Probably not, just wishful thinking

Greetings Seibertronians!

Fellow user Razorbeast88 as pointed out that PrimeVsPrime has posted his video review of the highly anticipated Pulse Exclusive Covert Agent Ravage.

He's a WFC update to Beast Wars Ravage who comes with a cardboard insert inspired by the show. The set also comes with a reissue of the original G1 Ravage but this time around, his details are not stickers but tampographs.

Agent Ravage may have the same legs as Kingdom Deluxe Cheetor, but everything else is a brand new mold, making him almost voyager sized in bot mode.

You can see the video down below:



Are you exited about this release? what do you think about this version of Agent Ravage? Let us know!

I appreciate the shout out

XD Theft

This is the one time where it's probably not theft. Ravage was available for a limited time at a convention in a south east asian country, I think last week.

EDIT: Found it, Ravage was sold at Fans Expo 2021 in Hong Kong in July.

Thank you for pointing it out.

Nah, don't worry about it, bud. Just keeping the facade up.

Its okay. There's no drama. Didn't mean to offend/irritate anyone. Won't post on this article again.

Rex and Rule!

I did a search and didn't see anyone post this, but I can't be the only one to figure this out. If you have kingdom rodimus, and hate the black flames, stick them alcohol for about 30 minutes. They are clear blue plastic with a super thick coat of glossy black paint

So he can go from mild speed to ludicrous speed, perfect!

Man, the BM Dinobots really need their own activation code. "Fossilize" would be perfect, but it's already taken by the Predacons' own dino subgroup, the Raptoricons.
