New Images of Transformers Generations Selects Smokescreen

Posted by william-james88 Aug 8, 2019 at 8:47pm CDT 15,327 views
Below you will find new images of Generations Selects Smokescreen. This toy is not exclusive to a specific retailer and can be ordered from any online collectible store, as well as Pulse and even EB Games in Canada. It will be available in October. You will find the images after this official product info. The new images come to us from TFSource.

Fans can take their Transformers figure collections to the next level with Generations Selects, a fan-dedicated line of figures featuring fan-favorite, special edition characters you can’t find in the main line.

This special edition Generations Selects WFC-GS06 Smokescreen figure portrays the classic G1 character with a G1-accurate head sculpt. Figure converts to a Cybertronian alt mode in 14 steps, deco’d to reveal how Smokescreen would have looked on Cybertron. The deco incorporates Cybertronian numbers into his classic exterior.

With this Smokescreen figure, fans can add to their Praxus-native collection. Smokescreen joins Barricade and Prowl (each sold separately, subject to availability) as the third Praxian character designed in his native Cybertronian form.

The Smokescreen figure comes equipped with a W-45 Acid Pellet Blaster accessory and 2 W-50 Volt-Beam Cannon accessories that can mount on his shoulders or the hood of his vehicle mode.

And why is the date in question always less than a month from the announcement? Seriously, Hasbro, would it kill you to let us catch our breath?



They raise the price slightly after the said before date.

Hasbro is in the business of making money. They will not stop until they have sucked all our bank accounts dry! :twisted:

This here Smokey don't look too bad. They definitely should have added some more paint apps to break up that dark paint on his legs BUT...I'll give him a good home. :VEHI:

They might need to know how many to "order" from Takara Tomy to make sure there are enough produced to meet demand by their release in late January 2020.

How would they lose money by giving us more time to buy the same things?

I suppose that makes some sense, but in that case, why not start the preorders earlier? It's still a fairly narrow window they're leaving.

Welp she looks good, dosnt hold the foot peg really well tho, so might switch her with one of the arms if I decide to display her combined. But Lancer was well worth the wait.

Just pre-ordered Gulf and Turtler. Given how far away the shipping date is, I wonder how long it's gonna take to release all of them? Will it be a four-ish month wait from when those go up for pre-order as well?

I am going to hazard a guess that it will be 3 months between each pair, and we will get 2 in January, 2 in April, and 2 in July

We can't always look at post release availability as proof of normal release numbers. Look at Legends Grand Maximus, we know for a fact that there's less than 3,000 of those in the world and they're still readily available, sometimes at a discount.

Thats another assumption and far from a fact. The only thing we are sure of is that TTMall got less than 3000 orders, and thats it. We dont know if the ones sold outside japan through different distributors (Hasbro asia, usually), count into that, which is why he does seem so plentiful outside of japan. Hence why i was only referring to the japanese market in my example of combiners. Once again, when it comes to numbers, nothing can be assumed.

I'll admit, I completely forgot to factor in Hasbro Asia's release, but that wasn't really the point anyway. They only needed to sell 2,000 to turn a profit on their exclusive and in the end, to cover all of their orders, they sold less than 3,000. Now, that's a bit of an extreme case since it's a big and expensive release, but I bet that's the smallest number of Titans they ever produced by a fairly large margin. I probably shouldn't say they're always produced in smaller numbers, but it has to be more often than not, with the ones that are produced in high numbers being packed with caveats to explain why. Maybe the Seacons are produced in the same numbers world wide as the Terrorcons, but I just can't see it.

...Anyone know why BBTS hasn't put the Turtler and Gulf up for order yet? I've been waiting for them to do it since that's where I usually order most things, but I'm getting a bit worried I might miss them if they for some reason never end up putting them up for preorder.

They actually did have them up, for a very short period, a day before HP and most of the other online retailers (search back in the thread). Not sure if there was a glitch, but they were only up for maybe an hour. Gulf seemingly sold out incredibly quickly, then the listings were removed. However at least one person here said their pre-order went through.

I imagine in time they will have them again, not sure what the hold up is.

Yeah they went up, but then down. Might be a glitch, or maybe they sold out of their original stock. Not sure, but I am confident they will go back up soon

So.....
I know some find the subject taboo
But...
I am wondering if I should
A) buy the Selects versions ASAP
B) buy the beautiful TFC Toys version
C) wait and buy the inevitable 4th party oversized version.

:-?

Well, I've heard the TFC Toys Piranacon has trouble holding up his Targetmaster. So the Selects version's definitely going to struggle. Other than that, it's purely price, design, size decisions

Personally I'd give my money to the official product though in this case the official product is just as rich for my tastes as the other stuff :lol: Though this is the sort of ideas we need to encourage

Finally ordered Greenlight Thursday. And I shipped Ricochet and Swoop today as well, so they should all be here next week I'd guess.

Now to wait on Lancer to have my final combiner limb (besides King Poseidon). That is going to be a long 2 to 3 months
