Hmm, I got it. They can also throw in an energon cube that can store the 4 cassette-bots and also attach to the front of Soundwave or Soundblaster like when he produces the empty cubes on the cartoon. Granted he might look more like he's preggers if you load the cube with cassettes while attached.

Just like some of the POTP figures But I'd love it if they did include little cases for them like the FOC Disks had. It's a minor thing, but I kind of liked it

Hasbro may not mark up for Selects figures, but has EB Games been marking them up on their end, or selling them at standard price? I don't necessarily want to lesser people's expectations, but I don't know if anyone has considered that. Regardless of the pricing, that makes me hopeful that we can still see more Selects figures using Siege molds, like Demolishor and CD Scattorshot from Impactor.

Yay, Red Wing's available again via a method I refuse to use or a ten dollar markup, just what I wanted...

Eb games has no markup.

Also a 10$ markup is better than the 100% markup you'll be paying in the aftermarket 2 years from now.

Ah FoMo

Wait, when did Red Wing go out of stock? I've been watching his page for twoweeks waiting for my Red Card. Honestly while I don't like the idea of signing up for a card I will use exactly once, what I paid (30.49) is no more than would pay for a Voyager in store, and its less than I would pay online with shipping from somewhere else.

Hell yeah! Placed my order for Redwing. I pretty much got a Red card to order him months ago only to find out I couldn't. Was not to happy about that but I guess it worked out in the end.

Get used to it, I am afraid. More and more industries are starting to shift to that because it cuts way down on having money tied up in unsold stock on the company's end and shifts warehousing costs onto end distributors. For example, if BBTS wanted to keep extra stock of the Seacons on hand, its up to THEM to place the order for that number, and take the risk, not on Takara to make the extra number and hope someone buys it.

I doubt we will ever see that for main series releases as those production #s are tied more directly to stores, but for Collector Specific releases? Don't be surprised if this crops up.

Model Train manufacturers have been playing this game from the 2000s and I can wholeheartedly confirm for you it does in fact suck majorly

Thanks to a heads up from Seibertronian jtprime and TFW2005 user TriBlurr, we have a new rumor to share with you today regarding the next Transformers Generations Selects figure.

This rumor comes to us from a listing at EBgames, which is what TriBlurr found. This listing was found only in the EBgames database, and is not on the website itself. The listing sits alongside some Transformers Earthrise listings, although those are for size classes and not any specific figure. The listing is for a Transformers Generations Selects Micromaster Spy Patrol.

Now this is interesting, seeing as how the normal price for a Micromaster pack is around $10, but this one is, from where the picture gets cutoff, around $20, indicating this will be a 4-pack. The previous Spy Patrols have been the Soundwave cassettes, so who could these potential 4 Micromasters be? It make sense for Buzzsaw and Frenzy to be in this pack, but who else could join them in this pack?

Speculate below, and let us know what you think of this listing in the comments section below!

People bitched a lot about the over-use of the Silverbolt mold/engineering in CW and POTP but in all seriousness, this guy manage to look quite different in both individual molds. its only in combined mode that its more apparent but, then again, there aren't too many ways to make a scramble city-type combiner to begin with.
