Netflix Transformers Series Deluxe Figures Found in Canada while the US is getting Delays for Voyagers

I assume that it is. Retailers are prioritizing groceries, medical, and other essential items. This entire market segment can't be a priority right now. I won't be surprised if the June date gets pushed as it gets closer.

I've received 6 emails from Walmart today, none of them matched what was actually on the site. Right now basically everything is listed as shipping 6/17, but the Magnus Spoiler Set is still 5/28.

Note that the pre-orders have been listed with a June release for a while now, it's just taken this long for the order status to catch up as we've come up to the original release date. I guess it was just wishful thinking that the earlier pre-orders were still being honored while newer pre-orders got the new date.

I was happy to get the delay email on Magnus, it reminded me to cancel the order.

Yeah, looks like Walmart is pushing back everything, not just the voyagers.

One of the emails said something about "The Manufacturer sets the release date" so it could be Walmart passing the buck, or Hasbro is having trouble getting product imported because of COVID restrictions or a minimal staff, or both.

But hey! It'll STILL be out before we hear another word on the TV show its trying to represent...

Lol, too true. Did the trailer even have a date?

I wanted to put my opinion on how I think you could rework Siege Megatron into the greatest ER toy in existence (so far, at least.):

Invert his colors to black and purple,
Switch the treads out for wheels,
Give him his fusion cannon,
Do a shorter Prime-style knife blade,
Make his turret telescope a bit,
Add a connector to his front so that two Astrotrains (or just one in the middle), can pull him.
His alt-mode should now look like this: https://www.warhistoryonline.com/wp-con ... Modell.jpg And kaboom! What ER Megs should be.
What do you think? Would this work?

It's a unique idea, for sure. How would it affect his robot mode? In tank mode, would he be immobile unless Astrotrain was there to pull him?

First of all, he's a rail gun, not a tank. Second of all, I just want the Astrotrain connector for added realism, because if Megs could self propel, it would be terrifying.

New images of the Netflix Ultra Magnus inner bot revealed.

I call him "Ultra Puff"!

@cary Now that would have been a spoiler

@T-Hawk I think that Alt makes more sense in a past setting then the likely eighties setting Earthrise is giving us. Maybe they can do that is they give us a generations line set in WW2

Lol.

Cary, you can turn your name right-side-up now.

Zero, I agree. I just really want a Gustav Gun Megs that's under $100.

Who?

Nah, just people wanting to signify they're addressing someone without having to quote them.

I wanted to see ER Megatron as an anti aircraft turret or Howitzer cannon. Split the legs out as Stabilizers and a ramp section that can attach to the other Base Mode Ramps. Years ago there was a fan art that basically had Megs Arms fold up over the body to form the gun system and used a waost swivel as the turret swivel. I really feel like they could be doing more to embrace the play pattern without sacrificing character design here.

Zavvi (in the UK) just cancelled my preorder for the Netflix spoiler pack. Claiming they were getting no stock. I suppose that is understandable given the circumstances.

Quick question: is Hasbro Omega Supreme identical to Takara version? Thanks.

Every Siege figure shared between Hasbro and Takara is the same.

Thanks! Does anyone know what the lowest price Omega Supreme went for? I remember Amazon had it at 20% off for a little bit, which would've been about $140 after tax. Did it ever go lower than that? Can't believe this thing is sold out at most places now, and more than retail where it is available.

IIRC, Amazon's lowest price was around $110.

I kick myself because my "buy it now" price was $100 or less shipped. We're in strange times, so I'm going continue to play the waiting game. Disclaimer; I'm OK with missing out.

Dang $110?! I definitely have FOMO on this. So upset it's sold out at so many places. Might have to pay full retail on this ugh

Yeah with tru gone from the US no other store will carry it, so I’m guessing Hasbro massively scaled back production to not take such a loss on unmoving merch

I don't remember $110, I only remember that one time Amazon had him for 20% off, I think shortly before or after black Friday. That's why, when BBTS got him back in stock in late February at normal retail I jumped on it. Now a few sites still have him but goes from $170 and up.

I'm definitely preordering Scorponok. Though typically Decepticins don't sell as well, I think Hasbro is learning, and producing less, then if demand is still high ( as in the case of PotP deluxe wave 2) they can actually produce more.

But seeing the glut of Leader Shockwaves unsold, I'm sure Hasbro knows retailers will be ordering less because they don't want to lose money either.

I was off by $2

Too little too late now though ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Looks like I rolled the dice and lost

You know who is awesome? Crosshairs. The phenomenal Ironhide mold suits him perfectly and his head sculpt makes it scream “beefy badass” even more than it already does. He looks so good alongside other chunky slobberknockers like Roadbuster, Twin Twist, and Topspin that I have head canoned him into being a Wrecker.

Finally got around to building something for Skyfire that I've been meaning to for weeks.

Fantastic that's a neat idea.

I got mine the first weekend of December $111 shipped. that was the cheapest he got, he's hardly had many deals because he was so popular as well, he was well received.

Thanks! After I make some tweaks the model will be available as a free download for everyone.

And that'll probably be the last thing I post here aside from buying/selling stuff...

I managed to find him yesterday and aside from a minor white paint blotch on the front, I like him a lot, especially combined with Cog. The weapon... eh, Pinpointer and/or Trenchfoot for me. He is a bit tall compared to his Headmaster buddies (I only have Hardhead and Brainstorm), but that adds to his toughness I suppose.

Well, unless you import LG62 Windblade you're going to be waiting a while on Pinpointer, since Hasbro only gave us Blowpipe, Firebolt, and Blowpipe retooled into Aimless based on the Legends Aimless rather than Aimless' original toy or character model.

And whether you go Takara or Hasbro, they all need kitbashing... But what do I know..

IMO that's not Pinpointer anymore than the animation fail-based black-and-purple redeco of Blowpipe is Caliburst.

It literally is Pinpointer. The figure name is "Captive PINPOINTER

But I am using the Legends onw since I habe that Windblade. You know who else made a nice Pinpointer? The Arms Micron dude. He could fly in addition to being a wierd gun thing

No it isn't, not really. It's called Pinpointer, but it's just Firebolt in Pinpointer's colors. Because Hasbro has made all of two gun Battlemaster molds so far, only one of which (Blowpipe) seems to have alternate tooling (Aimless' limbs and barrels).

The Takara "Pointech" Pinpointer really is Pinpointer, although it still needs kitbashing to be fully right (all the Legends Targetmasters do).

No it isn't. It's called Pinpointer, but it's just Firebolt in Pinpointer's colors.

Literally doesn't matter. That is the name on it, so it works. It's ok

Putting Pinpointer's name on the packaging doesn't magically give it any of Pinpointer's detailing, so in my book it in point of fact does not work. It's just a placeholder AFAIC.

My hopes were so high for the Battlemasters at first.. The original ones are cool, as is Lionizer, but the gun ones have just been phoned in after the first three and it's rather disappointing...

You are absolutely right dude! I have Crosshairs along side POTP Grimlock. Their head designs are really cool together.

I have small problem with my new SIEGE Prowl figure. He seems to be very finicky about how posing him works because there are no pegs that lock his robot shins into place and he seems to be top heavy.

Does anyone have this problem with him or any recolors of this mold?
Is it known for hip problems or balance issues (center of gravity)

I've never noticed it as a problem, but I would say a little extra attention to his legs is necessary. Typically I end up hyper extending his knees.

yes and there are no pegs to lock into position. Buyers are expected to "get a feel for it" as a result which is ridiculous.

My Prowl is fine. My Barricade, though, while standing in pose took some fidgeting to get him there.

I couldn't quite remember how Prowl's legs worked so I pulled him off the shelf to take a look. I don't see how his shins would peg into anything. If they did, he'd lose some ankle articulation. Mine has nice and tight joints and holds well. Loose joints would be a nightmare.

He does have a tendency to look like he is on his tip toes and leaning forward.



I've never seen it as a problem, just awkward at its worst. I do think I remember reading complaints about his legs and feet though. I dig his high heel shoes. I like the bots with the pumps and a hood bump

Prowl is all loosey goosey in his legs but Barricade, Bluestreak, and Smokescreen seem much tighter in the leg and feet area.

My Prowl, Bluestreak, and Smokescreen are all pretty good with the joints, but the legs are a bit awkward

I know that feel.
