Netflix Transformers Series Deluxe Figures Found in Canada while the US is getting Delays for Voyagers

We have two news items for this repaint heavy toyline. Firstly, the first wave of deluxe figures for the Netflix Transformers series figures is out in Canadian Walmarts. The voyagers were also out a bit earlier and you can see some reviews here. Those deluxes consist of Chromia, Scrapface, Sideswipe, Decepticon Disguise Mirage and Hound. You can view reviews of those here.

For the US though, we have other news. We have received several e-mails from fans showing us that Walmart contacted them to let them know that their orders for the voyagers would be delayed. We don't know if the toys will show up in shelves before.

I assume that it is. Retailers are prioritizing groceries, medical, and other essential items. This entire market segment can't be a priority right now. I won't be surprised if the June date gets pushed as it gets closer.

I've received 6 emails from Walmart today, none of them matched what was actually on the site. Right now basically everything is listed as shipping 6/17, but the Magnus Spoiler Set is still 5/28.

Note that the pre-orders have been listed with a June release for a while now, it's just taken this long for the order status to catch up as we've come up to the original release date. I guess it was just wishful thinking that the earlier pre-orders were still being honored while newer pre-orders got the new date.

I was happy to get the delay email on Magnus, it reminded me to cancel the order.

Yeah, looks like Walmart is pushing back everything, not just the voyagers.

One of the emails said something about "The Manufacturer sets the release date" so it could be Walmart passing the buck, or Hasbro is having trouble getting product imported because of COVID restrictions or a minimal staff, or both.

But hey! It'll STILL be out before we hear another word on the TV show its trying to represent...

Lol, too true. Did the trailer even have a date?

I wanted to put my opinion on how I think you could rework Siege Megatron into the greatest ER toy in existence (so far, at least.):

Invert his colors to black and purple,
Switch the treads out for wheels,
Give him his fusion cannon,
Do a shorter Prime-style knife blade,
Make his turret telescope a bit,
Add a connector to his front so that two Astrotrains (or just one in the middle), can pull him.
His alt-mode should now look like this: https://www.warhistoryonline.com/wp-con ... Modell.jpg And kaboom! What ER Megs should be.
What do you think? Would this work?

Comment by Rodimus Prime Apr 2, 2020
It's a unique idea, for sure. How would it affect his robot mode? In tank mode, would he be immobile unless Astrotrain was there to pull him?

Comment by Tigerhawk7109 Apr 2, 2020
First of all, he's a rail gun, not a tank. Second of all, I just want the Astrotrain connector for added realism, because if Megs could self propel, it would be terrifying.

@cary :lol: Now that would have been a spoiler ;)

@T-Hawk I think that Alt makes more sense in a past setting then the likely eighties setting Earthrise is giving us. Maybe they can do that is they give us a generations line set in WW2

Zero, I agree. I just really want a Gustav Gun Megs that's under $100. :-x

Nah, just people wanting to signify they're addressing someone without having to quote them.

I wanted to see ER Megatron as an anti aircraft turret or Howitzer cannon. Split the legs out as Stabilizers and a ramp section that can attach to the other Base Mode Ramps. Years ago there was a fan art that basically had Megs Arms fold up over the body to form the gun system and used a waost swivel as the turret swivel. I really feel like they could be doing more to embrace the play pattern without sacrificing character design here.

Zavvi (in the UK) just cancelled my preorder for the Netflix spoiler pack. Claiming they were getting no stock. I suppose that is understandable given the circumstances.

Quick question: is Hasbro Omega Supreme identical to Takara version? Thanks.
