Even though I couldn't care less about Eject, I can't wait to have Blaster.
And imo, that shows that Soundwave's proportions are off, and he should have longer legs.
Not a new observation. But his torso and shoulders look too wide because of this.
Anyway, both of Blaster's modes look fantastic.

I got a notice from Pulse that Puffer/Road Ranger are shipping out next week. So that set was moved up and ready.
I hope to see Slammer and Pipes in stores, last 2 deluxes I need.
I actually kinda like Core Hot Rod. I think I will get him and pair him with I-ark-onus for a Cyberverse-ish reference.
Have some pictures of shadow panther

He was found in the US last week, meaning that the only Kingdom toy left to be found is core class Hot Rod. Fellow Seibertronian O.Supreme gave us wind of this review which you can see below. While you could look for it on shelves, it is much easier to simply pre order him online where he is plenty available. Let us know if you will be getting this.
Are there any links to more legit YouTubers yet, considering it's already "officially" out?
Also, btw, my Japanese chum just got the two "Huffer/Pipes" redecoes (sic) from Amazon US. Apparently, there's been some (Covid 19- related) Kremzeeks in the supply chain, causing some toys to be released earlier than intended?

PvP's legitimacy I seem to recall is not a question appropriate for these forums. However...Yes if you go on to Youtube and search "Kingdom Blaster Review" you will find others, let us know which ones you like.
The item has been found in stores, so there is no need for the quotes above. Hasbro has revealed Blaster, its been found and purchased. Not sure where the confusion is.

Nope, only Terrorsaur comes with one. You're safe! Unless you forgot to check for Puffer's guns and Road Ranger's gun and shield
Some here, i bought Huffer nearly 6 weeks ago when his wave came and he didn't have a disk card. Ironically my Ultra Magnus had a G1 Megatron card inside and the fate inside was showing Megatron fighting inside the pit.
It's ironic since in the 1987 Movie Megatron becomes Galvatron and killed Ultra Magnus (technically UK comics Galvatron defeating him too) but he got better in the film.
In the SIEGE cartoon trilogy Megatron killed Magnus without becoming Galvatron.

If memory serves, yes. First time Blaster is his own at last.

I asked if there were any legitimate YouTubers that had made a review and didn't dwell on the well-known illegitimacy of PVP. You either could have answered it with a link or not bothered.
Thus, I'll ask again, has anyone found a video review by any legitimate YouTubers? I've searched but come up with zilch so far.

Sorry, that just comes from being a father and trying to teach someone to be self sufficient. No offense but you seem like the kind of person that wants everything handed to you with little effort.
How much effort did you really put forth in searching?

Thank you. I'm perfectly self-sufficient. I'm happy help others and also happy to ask for help. YouTube (and other services online) search results can vary, depending upon the app, hardware, geographical region, etc, so what is "easy" for you may not be so for others around the world.

That's true.
I'll add blocked videos, skewed search results (especially for anything political) and so on.

Ah yes, that too. Regardless, I appreciate the review that was linked to. It's nice to see more "raw/home-grown" reviews these days, IMO. Feels like a close connection to the community.

I'm gonna be honest, I didn't want jackpot, I just thought that I had lost out on the jazz mold what with never seeing it in stores, so I ordered one when it was announced, only to find jazz a week or so later, and I have to say that I much prefer his head design to jackpots - which just didn't look right to me, which now we know why. I feel genuinely bad for the people who actually wanted this figure, and can't reconcile the qc issues. This goes far beyond a grievous oversight, to the point where I don't think the head should have even been designed the way that it was.
On an unrelated note, I got my pipes and slammer, and they are a disaster. Pipes has a crack/warp across his chest that makes it so his shoulder can't tab into place, so his arm just hangs by his waist, and every single one of slammers 5mm pegs/holes are so loose that shaking the figure slightly causes him to fall to pieces. Will definitely be looking for slammer in stores to replace him. Pipe's just can't be saved it seems, as it carries over huffers flaw of looking like a scrunched up truck in vehicle mode, for the life of me, I can't tell what's causing this problem, but I think it has something to do with where they placed the cut-outs in his arms to connect to his cab.

Good, glad that worked out for you (aside from having to wait longer). Just think, now when the other one arrives you can give him a semi-original toy look with two guns.

You know what, since you have nothing to lose in this case, why not file a request on Hasbro's website. Say you bought this toy and it came to you broken and you can't transform it. They will send you a replacement product. Most probably not Tigatron, but hey, you'll get a brand new product for free.

I was honestly thinking about it since it was still tied to the plastic insert and wasn't a loose figure

You're reading EVERYTHING wrong.
You're obsession is clouding your judgement. How about moving on before you allucinate PvP everywhere you look? This is getting creepy.
Returning Hasbro's broken crap to Hasbro for something random is pretty standard fare. Regardless if you already have been refunded by the seller or not.

In what way, shape, or form is reporting a damaged toy to the manufacturer for a replacement remotely close to purchasing early factory samples that some underpaid worker snuck off the assembly line? I truly do not see the connection.

Sometimes you may not even have to return it! I reported my SS69 Devastator was missing ONE piece (Scrapmetal's head) and they said they couldn't replace it but they sent me something of "equal value" that wound up being a Throne of Primes and a Gen Selects Rotorstorm.

You should bother with Hasbro too.
Unless you're a customizer keeping the broken Tigatron is useless. Plus playing the Hasbro Gatcha game could result in something fun.

Not really. I'm just one of (hopefully) many normal people, with perhaps a different sense of morality and decency than perhaps people like yourself. I simply don't think, in cases like this, we should have our cake and eat it after getting a faulty product. I'm sure there are cases where getting both might apply (such as receiving poor customer support, overly long waiting times, or when it would cost a company more to "receive" and/process returned goods, rather than chalk them up as losses after reimbursing the customer), but I've not seen that with the case above. Again, I could have misinterpreted the original post though.
