The toy looks great (didn't need to see the review to make that decision), I've had it pre-ordered on Amazon since it became available. There is this odd conundrum however. The Bones don't look right on Original Series characters, but the BW Toys (where they would look good), don't have any 5mm ports... I understand why, as any animal with "holes" all over would look bad, but it's just odd that Hasbro hadn't considered that, especially with Promo images showing Primal wearing Dino-Armor that really isn't workable with Paleotrex or Ractonite.

Also major props to anyone who reworks the lyrics of Mac Tonight (which in and of itself was a parody of Mac the Knife) into Ractonite

Yes it is, it currently says sold out. It sold out fast and as far as I know was never restocked (I managed to get 2). But that also makes it a bad case to measure whether weapons only packs would sell as many wanted to troop build the Centurion drones, while others didn't want them at all and only wanted the weapons (I wanted multiples of both).

It was restocked. I got an email about it. But, obviously, I thought nothing of it because I already had it.

Go to the page for each item on Amazon, and report a lower price and give them the link to Gamestop's page for each item. In enough of us do it, it might make Amazon lower their price to match Gamestop and give us all the better pricing that have pre-ordered on Amazon. You can find the link to report a lower price in the Product Information area, under the feedback heading (scroll down a bit).

I'll be curious to see if this will work before scalpers see the price and wipe Gamestop out of stock.

Here are the links to Gamestop for anyone who wants to try this out. I've already submitted them myself.

The buzzworthy bumble bee is part of its own line (because transformers is short of lines haha) the studio series figures are reissues dunno them well enough to say if they are repaints in anyway.

Known so far:

World War bee SS
Shatter car mode SS
Bee with Charlie SS dunno if it includes any parts from the garage set.
That coreish/legends figure

the bee with charlie will def be an oddity if it doesnt iclude the upgrade parts, not sure how they will pack cases of them or what they will use for voyagers and leaders. Indemand put some photos up on farcebook today for them.

Yeah, I'll be newsing them in a moment, don't know how they do it (or how Hasbro feels about it) but they do have a knack for reveals.

Ok, just saw the picture from in demand. Only one i might be interested is old camaro bee, assuming it is the version with pinned backpack.

Also, what's the idea behind buzzworthy? The packaging sorta implies it is a line consisting of bumblebees of various era, and the toy is indeed seems to be all bumblebee, but then there's shatter, that seems to be the odd one of the bunch.

Indeed, well the Studio Series releases should...the Bee and Spike set on the other hand, that muddies the waters a bit since it looks like Buzzworthy Bumblebee doesn't care where the source molds come from :-?

Might be worth its own thread to keep it all together. It also has that Authentics Bumblebee picture on the bubble to even further muddy things.

Unfortunately, depending on how you look at it, Amazon is starting to charge for Paleorex and possibly other deluxes.

I ordered the 4 deluxes and 2 Voyagers all on 1 order. Amazon so far has split my Paleotrex into a separate order that says previous ship date Feb 3rd, new ship date Feb. 3rd. So there's that?

They did that with my Rattrap but then they actually shipped him early.

Yeah this is super weird. I was charged yesterday for Paleotrex, and there is even a tracking #, (looks I could have it as soon as tomorrow!) but it actually doesn't show "shipped" yet on Amazon's site.... :???:

I'd be super thrilled if this were the case, I haven't obtained a new line item this early since PotP.

I bought my first 1989 Snake-Eyes off the rack at Toys R Us in 1988.

I got PotP deluxe wave 1 in late November 2017 ( employee at Target pulled from the back for me), but with Siege and ER, I didn't get anything until well into the new year.

That might be because of Siege wave 5. Seems like it came out when the new lines usually do and pushed ER back to around when wave 2 usually comes out

That's amazing, I did the same thing! I had originally bought Big Boa in '88 who had an '87/'88 release, but his O-ring broke in the parking lot at Ames. My mom let me quickly run back inside and exchange it for another and I was going to grab another Big Boa, but then I see Snake-eyes there with his fancy jointed staff and big knives on his chest and I just had to have him. It stands out vividly in my mind since I was 8 at the time and it was the first time I exchanged something alone.

Found this on transformers botposting fb group. Not sure if this is a widespread problem, but reviewer primevsprime has this happened on his copy too, so this probably worth mentioning, just in case.

According to Phamduc on TFW that issue with Black Arachnia is just the peg is too long on some copies, but the majority of copies should be fine

Well, mine broke right after I opened it, oddly enough, it broke when I tried to peg it back into her chest, not when I tried to remove it for the transformation

I haven't handled Blackarachnia yet so I can't actually verify the validity of his statement, but he did post a picture of what the "correct length" was so I'll try to find that again. But based on his statement and some of the responses regarding peg length, it's such a tight window between "correct" and "will break on you" that it's very likely that even the "correct length" will probably break in a few years. Hopefully if Blackarachnia's repacked she'll get retooling like CW Motormaster and Siege Starscream to remove the peg entirely

Edit: Here's the "correct length" according to Phamduc

After watching a review (roughly a week ago?) for Cyclonus, I think he looks better than what I could tell from any of the official product shots.
Imo he could've easily been a part of the SS86 line.
Hopefully Gamestop will deliver sooner than later!

Does anyone know when the Kingdom line is scheduled. The toy stores here are full of Earthrise Starscreams, Optimus Primes and Earthrise Doubledealer that are slowly being sold or choking the shelves in my european country because of the high price tags.

I'm hoping Iceland will get Rattrap and Optimus Primal. I don't know how well Kids CoolShop operates in Europe. It replaced Toys'R'Us in my country and so far i've had great figures from there.

Kingdom was slated for early next year. Late January for the first wave. however the first wave of deluxes has been released to online retailers and is being shipped already.

The US is slated for the beginning of the year, so Europe will get it a few months later if the delays still hold true. It's been awhile for me, so I'm expecting that delay to be a bit shorter now that the packaging is universal (i.e. the US got EU style packaging with 50 languages :lol:

I know this question is late, but are we really not gonna get battlemasters? I know core class is replacing the micromasters, but does the battlemasters not getting any replacement and just vanish? Because that's a shame, as it has lots of potential, particularly since the animal ones tends to be the more interesting ones. Are they not selling well?

No Battle Masters for Kingdom I'm afraid, outside of potential exclusive redecos.

They were already on their way out during Earthrise, really. Siege Wave 1 had 3 new molds, with each subsequent wave introducing a new one for a total of 6 molds. Earthrise Wave 1 had 1 new mold plus a Siege re-release per wave, for a total of 3 molds. The Micromasters were similarly downsized.

I will miss the Battlemasters as well, hopefully we get a couple nice redecos with Netflix wave 3 packed with voyagers. Core class is basically the return of Legends class ( the $10 priced toy that itself was replaced by Micromasters for a time). Hopefully in future lines the $5-$6 price point smaller TFs return.

I just got Paleotrex from Amazon today and he is amazing. Its my understanding that some online retailers have Core and Deluxes already,no idea when stores will get them.

I think it's as simple as Walmart wont sell them in the US so Hasbro has no reason to expand on them. It'll be interesting to see if Walmart sells Core class in stores since they didn't seem to have any issues with Legends class.

I'm adopting a wait and see attitude for walmart core class. Dating back to T30, I never saw a walmart carry the $10 and under class for more than wave 1

They sent me an email saying I should have him the day after Xmas, but I checked my email and Gamestop previously sent me an email saying I should have Cyclonus on the 20th and that definitely didn't happen. Until I see a tracking number I'm keeping my Amazon order just in case.

Speaking of Gamestop and Amazon, my plan is slowly working. Airazor just dropped to $16.99 to match Gamestop's price. Dinobot and Inferno already dropped. Just waiting on Huffer and Ractonite to drop now.

Decision to switch from Pulse to Amazon continues to be wise. That's $8 saved for the wave, and if Ractonite will drop, it'll be $11 for the 3 figures I got

Just switched my Dinobot Pre-Order from BBTS to Amazon. Surprised it let me as all other figures (Primal, Airazor, etc...) say its unavailable if I try to have them shipped here.

But with the Amazon Gift Card I had, Dinobot went down to $16 + $8 shipping. Much nicer than BBTS' $31 + who knows how much for shipping.

I've just got an e-mail saying my Rattrap pre-order has been shipped and is on the way now. What a nice surprise, I wasn't expecting a dispatch until January. I probably won't get it until Christmas, but even so, good to know it's coming.

The only wave 1 Kingdom figures I want but haven't pre-ordered are Optimus Primal and Blackarachnia, because I want to see if I can get them at brick-and-mortar rather than online. But it's basically an open secret at this point that my country is going back into lockdown immediately after Christmas, so I may have to get Primal and Blackarachnia online after all.

I was able to find both Battletrap components and Tailgate at a Walmart when PotP was going on, it think it's just gonna vary by store.

I'm starting to understand more, the idea of when something goes on clearance, it is not usually seen again at Walmart. In my area most stores had the Titan masters wave 1-3. Prime Masters wave 1, then wave 2 showed up shortly but was instantly put on clearance. Never saw PM wave 3 at walmart. Siege (which was a new line) had wave 1 BM's but that's it, then went on clearance, nothing after that, and of course nothing for ER because they are the same codes.

What store is Rattrap coming from?
