Earthrise Bluestreak Officially Revealed by Takara and Found at Walgreens in US

Emerje wrote:It's a Target thing, they're too big to have fan interests at the forefront like most collectibles retailers. Places like TFSource or BBTS will just let you know there's a delay and move on, big box stores don't really understand delays and have been fumbling these pandemic delays pretty badly. Walmart isn't much better with entire orders getting canceled or infinitely stuck in their order system on the way to the fulfillment warehouse.

Ok, glad I asked, and glad I only pre-ordered Cheetor from Target. Might do other figures elsewhere.

I'll as again. Who will be selling ER Silverstreak in Canada?

There's still no official word on it. There's still no official word on the US release, a guy just found him in Walgreens.

If that's how it has worked in previous years, there's little reason to think it will change, but no one can truly answer your question as yet.

Hmmmm......

So far, all Walgreen exclusives have been E.B. Games exclusives. Maybe except for TR Brainstorm.

It's too bad we can't get a Bluestreak with paint and colors like Combiners Bluestreak.

HAHAHAH!! Ok that was an awesome response.

Question: people have been saying that the new Jazz figure will be a part of some kind of S86 or Studio 86 toyline (is that the name?). What is that, and also, is there any hope of a Jazz figure in that toyline having 5mm points on it, allowing for Weaponizers / Fossizlizers / Battle Masters?

Missed this line when I read it before.

I think in this case they're using deluxe to mean "premium" to show it's more than just a figure unless they start calling him "Deluxe Centurion Drone" in comics or something.

Hotrod kup and scourge have reviews from primevsprime and none of them have the ports for the weaponizers

To expand on the "name", they will be part of the Studio Series line under the excuse that since it focuses on movies, the 1986 movie is fair game.

Don't expect anything special: they will be regular Generations-style figures (with some 5mm ports removed), just hastily shuffled under a similar but different line. Hasbro has done it before with the Reveal the Shield part of the 2010 line, which was technically a Live Action Movie line.

Were that they case, they'd use a certain kanji to denote it as such. The "Deluxe" part is in its name.

If I had to guess, they're probably using the name to explain why this Centurion Drone doesn't resemble these Centurion Drones seen below when it's supposed to be one of them in Japanese continuity:

You SURE about that?

Scourge has two unnecessary ports on the sides of his forearms and two on the sides of his lower legs down by his ankles, one on the bottom of each foot as well as one on his back. You might also be able to maneuver his backpack in such a way as to utilize the two side ports he had in vehicle mode.

Kup is lacking by comparison with only one under each foot. However, both of his arms as well as his legs can separate at the bicep/thigh swivels similar to a Weaponizer. So you can add pieces in between his arms and legs to wacky effects.

Hot Rod has one port under each foot and a pair of ports on the backs of his legs. He also has a 5mm peg on his left hand if you put his hand away back into the forearm.

Yeah, that's the reason I'm passing on ER Bluestreak. I like the mold but I'm holding out for a Selects blue Bluestreak.

Sorry i remembered scourge had them on his arm I guess I missed the others and i skip the transformations When I watch reviews also tonton has the reviews for kup and hotrod not primevsprime

I'm not saying this out of frustration, but it's kinda crazy to me how difficult it's been to get ahold of the ER Datsun bros...
Having to wait on Amazon for Prowl; I still haven't seen Smokescreen so am having to wait over another month for Amazon to deliver, and now Bluestreak is going to take x number of trips to Walgreens to find...

In the grand scheme, I get it, not any sort of deal... Just surprising it's come to this just to get a few toys.

It's difficult because one of them just came out and two of them haven't even been officially released yet. Exclusives are a little more work than mainline releases, but every group of three gets split across multiple distribution channels. We'll get ours in time.

Did you have difficulty finding any of the first assortment WFC Netflix figures?

Snapdragon next to Apeface. I'll take beast and jet mode pics when I have a better setup for it.

I'm "eh" on Bluestreak. I wonder how hard it would be to pry out the headlights to replace them with proper Datsun ones, and get rid of the unsightly intake on the hood.

Which means you got the two pack with Ironhide, right? How do you feel about that? I kinda want Prowl but not Ironhide so much, so them coming together (and costing more for it) isn't too appealing for me. I'm kinda confused as to why they did the two figures like this anyway...? I guess it's supposed to be because they aren't exactly a part of the "main" Earthrise toyline...or something...? I'm confused.

Yeah, I went with the two pack... First, I'm a big fan of the Datsun bro mold of the ER line... While I have loved the Universe mold used for them for a long time now, I think this new one is better in some ways; the proportions are better, as well as the head sculpts.

I also like the ER Ironhide mold, at least for the robot mode. As always, yeah, it could be a bit better. But a little while back I started posting this thought--

I think the next time we get some of these characters in a regular line, there will be another gimmick of some sort which shifts the aesthetic away from the classic G1 stylings...
Of course I could be wrong... In some ways I'm hoping Hastak takes a cue from the SS86 line, and goes with a line that is completely gimmick-free and gives us the most animation accurate figures possible. I don't see that happening, but what do I know?
Some would say that's the role of the MP line now, but I can't agree completely, when the cost of those figures is 10X higher.
So part of this thought is that some (definitely not all) of the characters we're getting in ER & Kingdom may be some of the best we get for a long, long, long time.

Again, I could be completely off in this thinking...
But now that we're getting some really solid G1-looking characters, it's difficult for me to believe that it'll be sooner than later that we'll get them again.
And for me personally, will I still be collecting 3-5 years from now??? Maybe, but I'm really pretty happy with what I currently have.
I wouldn't doubt if after the ER and SS86 lines I take another lengthy collecting hiatus.

My advice would be to get the two pack...
You could probably sell Ironhide if you really end up not liking him.
If you're okay with getting $20 for him, I'd feel pretty confident that someone would buy him for that price. Then you've spent $20 on Prowl like you would for any other deluxe.

I just realized I am also having a discussion with you in the Kingdom thread. We should be buds.

This is kinda what I've been thinking. If this is the case it could end up being an exciting toyline or something really off-putting.

Right right. I think it's hard to make a decision to buy something that I know I'll be turning around and selling as soon as I open the box. But then again, there could be someone out there who wants Ironhide and not Prowl, kind of like I want Prowl and not Ironhide. Ehhh I'll just have to think on it some more.

Earthrise seekers showing up half off

ER Target Exclusive Villains pack, super hard to find, only been out for a short time-Clearance

Siege Leader Shockwave,, multiplies like rabbits, out for almost 2 years,...nah...keep em around at full price.

Huh, so Target can print Clearance stickers...

D-Maximal_Primal wrote:Earthrise seekers showing up half off

I still have the receipt from when I bought mine full price. I wonder if I can return it, get my money back and buy it again at half price. My Target has 3 or 4 of them. And what does this do to eBay prices?

Don't think it's been out for that short a time. However, like the Clones 2-packs and the Rainmaker 3-pack from SIEGE before it... it's a unique inventory item with its own pricetag, so it's probably easier for them to mark it down.

...I had an ugly thought: That clearance stickers can't mark down stuff independently of the computer after all. Which would definitely explain the problem with Shockwave. Because they certainly don't want to mark down the shiny new Earthrise Leaders.

I'll have to see if writing to Target can get me a definitive answer.

I realize that my experience at the grocery store is a far cry from this and the reason things got discounted there was because they were close to expiration or non perishable goods out of season, but it's possible to mark down products individually. The computer knows what the markdown price for everything is, it's just stored on a separate barcode. Food for thought.

Never did see the clone set or the Seeker set in stores, heck my Target never even put tags up for the clones, but had three spaces set aside for the Seekers (two on the end cap, one in the aisle). I had to get mine off Target.com. I'm curious if they bothered sticking clearance tags on the empty shelf.

aronjlove wrote:Huh, so Target can print Clearance stickers...

Haven't they always? I don't think I've ever bought a clearance figure from Target that didn't have at least one clearance sticker on it, sometimes two or three depending on how long the figure sat for.

Mostly being sarcastic as I've never seen a single Transformer figure on clearance at Target in about 2 years of looking for Transformers there.

Mine still has the clones there as of yesterday morning, but i never saw the seekers.

It also has 3 Sky Lynx toys, which is awesome. Sky Lynx is such a good toy.

I think after messing around some Scorp may have dropped a bit on my favorite Earthrise toys. He hasn't proven as playable as I would have thought when first messing with him, he's definitely not as fun as Sky Lynx or Doubledealer, and I think I enjoy Cliffjumper far more than him too.

This is exactly right. The clearance stickers do not have their own bar codes, so their register/inventory system knows the correct discounted price. The only thing the stickers do is signal to customers that they're on sale. You can also use their price checker terminals to confirm sale prices for the same reason.

I saw the clones Twice, one time I happened to be at a way out-of-the way Target in an sparsely populated area, and saw 4 of them on the shelf, I'm sure some scalper eventually got them. I saw the Villains pack once, at my local Target, and that's it. I saw the micromaster 10 pack and Rainmakers maybe 2 times last year. They sell quickly though, certainly not enough time for clearance at least in any stores in my area. The only clearance TF I've seen is of course the MP Movie Starscream, which is a whole other cluster I've ranted about in other threads.

I just wish that any Target store within 35 miles of me would actually carry Titan class Scorponok, but all of them listed on Target's website say that Scorponok is "Not sold at this store".

Sabrblade wrote:I just wish that any Target store within 35 miles of me would actually carry Titan class Scorponok, but all of them listed on Target's website say that Scorponok is "Not sold at this store".

That is exactly the rant I had. I am fortunate to have 10 Target stores I can drive to and get to in 30 minuets or less in any direction (the closest is less than 10 minutes away).

Brickseek came through for me when I got Scorponok, had to drive 25 miles one-way, and argue with 2 levels of management to get it out of the back, but I got it. Since then My daughter saw it one other time at my closest store, but seeing as how I've not seen it since, I don't regret my actions. Yes I've seen the tag & shelfspace at some stores, bit not the toy itself. Then seeing MP Starscream Everywhere, and in multiples (a similarly priced toy) is maddening, then it goes on clearance, then they issue another slightly less expensive MP ...

I asked here though, if fans were satisfied with the availability of Scorponok, since most are getting him online, there didn't seem to be any complaint. I guess I'm just old fashioned, still like to see what I'm getting before I buy it, if at all possible.

I think you are overlooking the amount of space Scorponok eats up as compared to ML Starscream. Of all the targets near me (about 8 ), only the Super Target carried Scorponok. None of them had enough shelf space to carry it except the Super Target. MP Screamer uses less than 1/2 the shelf space than Scorponok, and MP ratchet, 1/2 the space that MP Screamer does and only 1/4 the space Scorponok does.

Makes perfect sense why they would choose that way when you look at the perspective of "Where the hell are we going to put that?"

Also, as for seeing wanting to see a Titan in hand first, what do you specifically want to see, the box? It isn't like the smaller figures where you can pick out the best deco, or see if any pieces are missing.

Well, I don't think ER Bluestreak has made its way to Minnesota quite yet, at least not in the Twin Cities area. I've checked nine stores or so since the new of a sighting in Kentucky, and nothing. Most of them had no Generations Deluxes on the shelves at all. A few had old Siege stock. One had Wave 1 of Earthrise. Would be nice to see the Wave 2 Earthrise Deluxes on shelves sometime ever.

I understand about shelfspace, but when Scorponok is guaranteed to sell, and they mark MPM Starscream 1/2 off after about a month of being out?, then replace it with another MPM that takes up less space, but won't sell any better...It's pretty obvious which toy would have been better to stock more of, in spite of how large it's box was

Scorponok isn't even remotely guaranteed to sell more than the MPMs. Neither are. They are high price items, neither would sell better by default.

The MPM price was incredibly strange, if the same happened to Scorponok, he'd be considered a bomb. Considering the Shockwave's still sitting around at full price, I don't think we can automatically assume a G1 toy would sell better either

D-Maximal_Primal wrote:I don't think we can automatically assume a G1 toy would sell better either

I think the fact that ER Scorp instantly sells out is proof enough, while MPM has to be clearanced for someone to even be interested.

But do we know how many ER Scorponoks went to retail vs MPM Starscreams? It's pretty obvious since ER Scorp sells out instantly (what few there were), it wasn't a bomb. Heck even if you moved things around a little

Say 10,000 units of MPM went to Target stores and 1000 ER Scorponoks....

Change that to 2500 Scorponoks and only 8500 MPM Starscreams, that would make Scorp a bit more readily available, and while it would not instantly sell out, it would at least be visible for a time, and Target would make way more profit.

Also Siege Shockwave wasn't that great a toy, kind of like MPM Starscream, and wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy overproduced.

o.supreme wrote:I think the fact that ER Scorp instantly sells out is proof enough, while MPM has to be clearanced for someone to even be interested.

MPM Starscream did not have a pre-order for the Hasbro one, it was a Target exclusive, it literally came in stock, no pre-order. Scorp had pre-orders in February, 6 months of pre-orders. Huge difference.

2nd point to this point: We know the Titans have been drastically cut back since Trypticon. They are almost being made to pre-order and that is about it. Lest we forget that Omega was the first titan not to see deep discount months after release.

o.supreme wrote:Also Siege Shockwave wasn't that great a toy, kind of like MPM Starscream, and wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy overproduced.

Again incorrect, Siege Shockwave was a pretty good toy. He was overproduced, but again goes to show the weakness and inconsistency of clearance items: he has shelfwarmed for over a year and no discount, while another was a fresh release with no preorder and went on clearance after only a month. The sales are not consistent.

This is correct, siege shockwave uses the same store inventory number as earthrise doubledealer, and (likely) will share the same inventory number as kingdom bw megs - they're all the same in targets eyes - you can't clearance one without affecting all the others; the only way to do that (and the smart way) is to change the inventory numbers along with the line a 'la the way it was done with the prime wars trilogy

Did they change them, though? There was a Combiner Wars Starscream that had been lingering on the shelves at one Target in my area throughout Titans Return and was still there well into Power of the Primes. And when I scanned him? He had the same price as a PotP Leader.

Yeah.


Anyway, behold Snapdragon with Brunt's turret mounted.

(side note, if we don't get an official Metroshot I am buying another Six-Gun to make one with because Brunt has some definite limits as far as being a Weaponizer).
