The fossilizers were made to go with the G1 characters, not eh beast wars characters. We see that both in the options for connection, which are much fewer in the beast wars line, and the marketting which only shows the fossilizers connecting with the G1 characters.

I think we're all in agreement that the line would have still had a Weaponizer equivalent, yes, but why would they be fossil-themed if they weren't doing Beast Wars stuff?

Sorry, I never answered. I don't have an answer though, don't know. But it is odd that the fossil animals don't interact with the beast transformers as well as they do the G1 characters.

Perhaps they could have been smaller Junkions or even Lithones, to better match the TFTM theme, in this hypothetical alternate version of the line.

That could explain all the Junkions comin in future Legacy waves.

Yeah, please report when you hear of stuff like that.

Cool, you would be surprised the stuff people report finding there.

Modesto/Ceres, CA!

I live about a mile from a ROSS, so on my walk yesterday, I altered my course and decided to check out the place.
Of course, this was immediately after reading the News posting.
BOOM!

Although, mine was marked $10!
But I can't find a reason to be mad.

First Aid?

Is anyone in the US still missing a Kingdom Red Alert? For all intents and purposes, this toy was an online exclusive in the US and if anyone waited to see hi in stores and never did, well now you have a chance to get him online again. He was restocked a week ago so this is more of an FYI in case it helps. Let us know if it does. We thank fellow Seibertronian TF-fan kev777 for letting us know.

I actually saw this a few days ago, didn't know it would be newsworthy though...I was looking for Minerva
I actually think they has ER Bluestreak in stock on the site as well, but I could be mistaken.

At any rate, I really don't know how anyone in the U.S. is going to get Minerva, unless it just randomly shows up on the site one day. The video Spectre Creative did a while back about the Toy executive of Walgreens who was championing exclusives, no longer being there is definitely proving true. All Walgreens stores near me, the toy section is going back to generics. No Funko Pops at all, no new Hasbro product. I don't even see tags on shelves for any TF or Marvel Legends etc.

Minerva, will probably be the last WG exclusive ( I hope). Probably a leftover obligation of an old contract. I'd be absolutely shocked if they had one for 2023.

Yessss! After a few tries my order was accepted and paid for...I hope no BS affects the process!

I came close too paying current eBay prices.

Thanks WJ!
