Image of Walmart's G1 Bombshell and Ramhorn Packaging Shows a Rare Instance of Dual Faction Colors

No plastic window on a RETRO box.

Le ma fukking HO.

What is the point?

The bigger packaging miss here is the lack of a bubble. It's impossible to open this, enjoy it, then put it back in the box in a way where it looks like it hasn't been opened. I wish it were a closed box like the TFTM branded releases.

With this being the 40th anniversary of the brand, not only do we get the most cartoon accurate CHUG scaled Optimus ever with the commander class release, and Takara and Hasbro versions of the idea of the G1 Optimus toy with modern articulation BUT but we also get a reissue of the original G1 Optimus Prime toy in cartoon colors. Below we have two reviews showing just how extensive the deco changes are from previous versions. And we also see that all the mainstays of the G1 toy are still there, like the rubber wheels and die cast.

It would do my heart good to actually see this on shelf at my local Wal-Marts, and that show-accurate trailer is tempting...but I still have ol' New Years Convoy, and a ton of stuff I'm behind on collecting, so I probably wouldn't bite unless I was lucky enough to stumble across it on clearance, and I hope they never shelfwarm badly enough to warrant that.

Also, will we find it at all in stores?

It will be $100

Feels like forever ago that we first fond out about Hasbro and Walmart's next batch of cartoon colored G1 reissues, but the day has finally come! As part of Walmart's latest Collector Con orders have finally opened for Optimus Prime and Bombshell with Ramhorn. People concerned about the pricing of Prime with his trailer in particular will be happy to know that he's priced at $75, that's quite the contrast to the 2018 reissue of just Prime without the trailer that was $50 on its own! Meanwhile the other set is $35 to finish the Insecticons and give Blaster another tape.

And no, this is not a pre-order, these are ready to go now!

I was tempted to get this as an accessory kit for missing link prime. But maybe I'll just get a trailer alone instead.

(checks trailer prices)

Or maybe I'll just leave it...

If it's just for the trailer and you don't mind collectability, just get a K.O. Customise the fake bot into "dead Prime" my bashing it with a hammer or something.

Then feel free to customise the crap out of the fake trailer to make it "cartoon accurate" once the Reprolabels inevitably come out. With any luck, they will do the same as they did for SS86 Commander Optimus and give many options that you can buy separately.

Didn't stop us from ordering them too

I say they'd count for the thread.

Anyway, Bee is MIA as expected.
