Lucky I managed to get mine from BBTS

I may be in the minority here, but a gestalt team made from figures that don't combine....no thank you.

Found Tailgate at Target yesterday, but they were all out of Skrapnel.

I'm looking forward to these. I don't have Inferno, Grapple, Pyro, Hotspot or Artfire so this gives me one more chance at that mold (provided these are a US release). For those who have all the retail versions, you can pretend that this Hotspot is either Pyro or Fire Chief. I'm also not bothered by Groove looking exactly like Arcee. At least this way you can just take the one of the two deluxe retail releases of Prime Arcee and use her instead. One can be Groove and the other Arcee. If you have Beast Hunters or Go! Arcee then one can be Chromia too!

Maybe this is in response to the TFC designed Star Cats Rescue combiner team being sold at retail in China. Hasbro seems to be doing that lately be it inadvertently or intentionally. Platinum Omega Supreme, Masterpiece Ultra Magnus, Leader Jetfire, Leader Megatron, Springer, Sandstorm, Roadbuster and Skybite. With most of the releases of the third party versions being just before the releases of the Hasbro versions, it would seem that Hasbro hears the rumors of what they're doing and puts their own into production shortly after.

Amen.

Got my Tailgate & Shrapnel from BBTS. No wasted time to save a measley two dollars waiting for retail.

Save the world? WTF? LOL....they are just toys.

And I call it how I see it. These are Prime toys. Period. And no amount of shoehorning is going to change that. If you want them for your Prime collection they will fit in just fine, but as far as classics go that line is dead in the water. Your best bet will be 3pt retailers. And just because Hasbro slaps a name and some paint on some random mold doesn't make it a geewun classics figure.

I always chuckle at the bondage this kind of collecting brings. It is silly. If you want to buy the figures because you just like them then fine, but to call these classics is a joke. Kinda like the GDO stuff, save Hot Spot, and all the movie line junk that people shoehorn into their classics collection because they are mad a Hasbro for not making what they want in their time frame.

I do not have convince anyone of anything. It is what it is. And just because I speak it doesn't mean you have to get all puffed up at me because I said what you are thinking in the back of your mind.

The hyperbole I used demonstrates the exaggerated vitriole with which you constantly attack choices made by Hasbro or fans to include in their "Classics" line up of figures. If toys are just toys, you wouldn't feel compelled to knock down everyone's contrary opinion to yours EVERY TIME something like this comes up. Your contributions to conversations here are predominantly negative and don't add to the fun of the hobby at all. We ALL know what you think of "Classics figures" and repurposing of figures from other lines. Trust me, it does not bear repeating. So, please, don't.

I'm with the Wolfman on this one. Don't speak for the rest of us as if you know what we do or do not like or do or do not want. Give it a rest.

My turn to chime in. It's alright to not like something, but to continually bash on it and those who like it day in and day out, almost every single post being negative... it gets old, it gets annoying, and it's not fun.

And like JelZe said, we don't even know if these would constitute as Classics figures or not.
