Same. It is such an obvious problem that even the original figure didn’t have.

Oh, the original figure had lots of orange on its dino belly.

I'm scared of getting this one and then a new one comes out with a more show-accurate raptor mode and gray hips instead of the orange. And a non purple rapier lol
Like what happened with people that got kingdom cheetor and siege soundwave

The current rumor is a Selects redeco of Dinobot as Beast Wars Grimlock.

I thought it was supposed to be in an Amazon-exclusive 2-pack, not Selects, but yeah. Nothing about any other Dinobot repaints currently.

I know Sideswipe and Red Alert have already been mentioned several times and there was talk of a couple of 2-packs pairing a G1 character with a BW character. But where would they go? Store exclusives? Will we get something like the Galactic Odyssey sub-line ER had to push out the extra figs?

Yeah, but the contents of said waves leaked months ago at this point.

Exactly those, yeah, the only character redos we've had mentioned so far are Sideswipe and Mirage in Amazon 2-packs with BW repaints, and Red Alert as the Walgreens exclusive.

But as for Selects, Netflix, or any other retailer exclusives (Target ??, Amazon??...), There is a lot left to be revealed.

o.supreme wrote:Its an assumption based on an educated guess. The only new Selects toy that has been officially revealed in this Calendar year is Deep Cover. I am almost certain there are more coming.

Also only a portion of the Netflix 3rd wave has been revealed. If ER is anything to go by (both of which had exclusives at Target and Amazon), I'm sure there is more to come.

Lastly, are any clues as to what this years Walgreens exclusive might be? If it was reported I missed it.

TF fan transform75 made a video review for the core class Megatron figure he picked up there. It's in French, but it gives a good idea of what is in store for those who are interested.

Hello
I may be one of the first to post a video review (in French) of Core class Megatron from Kingdom.
Part of the second wave core class, it is perfect for titan and commander class size like SkyLynx and Scorponok

Deluxe and Core class wave 2 has been released here in France.
Enjoy the visuals

Cyclonus is awesome. He looks really good with Scourge even though they are technically two separate lines.

I'm sure they would have, which is unfortunate Hasbro was in a rush to do too many things at the same time. A great line to finish the original series and an amazing line to start BW had to be compacted together so both only gets half the toys they could have.

Well the solution is simple...Go back in time and get Beast Wars made either a year earlier or a year later same the 1986 movie Just how the anniversaries fell for the respective parts of the franchise.

If it were only that simple. A year earlier and the final year of G2 wouldn't have happened, removing from exsitence the ball-jointed articulation that Beast Wars took advantage of, while a year later and Transformers would be too dead for Beast Wars to exist.

ZeroWolf wrote: true, and something I've had to remind beast wars haters through the years (and to an extent, live action haters), that the franchise survived (and thrived) because of these choices.

In the circles I keep locally I was one of the only ones to never give up on Transformers. Some thought I was crazy but I normally don't give a crap what others think of me especially with something I am super passionate about.

If they really want to up the ante they could work on future lines and include Pretenders/mega pretenders like Thunderwing and the basic pretenders. Monsterbots, sparkabots, triggerbots and cons, there are still a lot of Transformers that have not been modernized.

Nope, Megatron in April, Grimlock in May.

Amazon might be the only store to get stock slower than Pulse.

o.supreme wrote:There seems to have been an initial early first release (did nobody get Leader Megatron from Amazon?). I've seen all of Kingdom between late december and mid january in stores, and online. However more recently after that first push all sold out, nothing has come in to replace any of it, at least in stores, the shelves are all bare.

Back in December, Core-class Rattrap and Prime were shipped out by Amazon. Then Gamestop dropped Megatron and Cyclonus. I picked up the rest in-person at a Target.
