We Finally have a Listing for Dinoking+ Cannonball, Target Themed Optimus and More

Posted by william-james88 Nov 11, 2023 at 11:24am CST 94,605 views
We knew a repaint of the core class Volcanicus combiner as Dinoking would be coming, it was hinted at since day 1. But it's nice to finally have that listing though. As assumed, it will be released as one combiner and not individual components/dinos. The listing has it as a Pulsecon exclusive. Speaking of exclusives, we also have an update for Walmart's 2024 exclusive Legacy subline with the addition of deluxe Cannonball. Those listings were found by JTPrime17 along with a listing of a Target exclusive Optimus Prime toy styled in Target colours, the next GI Joe Transformer crossover figure and 2 more classic heroes figures, which are the Rescue Bots styled figures.

If anyone else besides me was holding out on this set in the vain hope for a decent Monstructor, there's an upgrade kit coming for the Volcanicus version that greatly improves it's appearance. To me, anyway. Not sure how the colors would mesh with the Dinoking colors, but here it is.

Just wait for the inevitable Dinoking-colored version. This company typically makes releases for each different-colored version of the figure it makes kits for.

One gift set? 'Bout damn time.

Did anyone have luck finding all 6 Dinobots at regular retail? It seemed like every Target around me somehow skipped the first pair, so I stopped caring when the other 4 showed up.

Maybe unrelated but stranger: for a week or 2, RotB Core Arcee was in every Target I checked, but apparently street dated and unpurchasable. Never, ever saw one after that, period, so IDK if fast-acting collectors pounced in every store right on said date?

Sorry if I'm asking something that's been common knowledge for months, but ever since Core Class became a thing, its distribution has seemed particularly odd. Was it just after-effects of all the pegwarming Shockwaves at the beginning? Never thought I'd be so glad to see such small TFs get rereleased at a higher price point.

I actually prefer the silver/gold primary colors of the Dinobots myself, so I'm not bothering with Dinoking. I do know that the upgrade kit I put on POTP Volcanicus really remade him into a far more impressive figure and made me regret missing out on upgrades for the other combiners.

I honestly didn't care about the set and didn't look for it until I spotted the upgrade. By that time, the only Transformer in the two Targets near me was Lego Optimus Prime. I wound up ordering them from https://www.agesthreeandup.com/ and https://tfsource.com/

The Skids mold would work.

These two were the custom class options for TFCon Orlando 2023.

Yes, cannonball out of crankcase or something would be great

OH, just now bothered reading the rest of the listings, and Triple-T-former is KUP!?!

Given the Sgt. Slaughter connection, I had my money on Grimlock.

Since Kup's schtick is being the oldest veteran Autobot on active duty, the first G.I.Joe counterpart that springs to mind would be ol' Joe Colton...but I don't think he's associated with any particular iconic vehicle, and my analogy doesn't make perfect sense...

...aaaaand now I can't stop picturing Kup in a wrestling match with Weirdwolf in some lost corner of Marvel continuity. Still debating getting into this X-over line.

I've had more luck finding core class at retail than any other class. For the dinos, the only one I have yet to see is Snarl.

Core Class has been a mess in my area, and both chains that stock them, Walmart and Target, each have the opposite problem: Walmart has older figures moving slowly (SS is stuck at Spike and Ravage, while Legacy is either clearanced out or stuck at Iguanus!!!) while Target is up to date but never seems to stock enough of them. I knew I missed out on Snarl, and the Slug and Sludge re-releases when I only found their final wave mate: the PR Optimus Prime :BANG_HEAD: Hopefully the holiday season will have them stock up more, I want my Mini-Volcanicus!

As for Dinoking, don't pre-order any kits for him yet, as a PulseCon exclusive he may come with accessories Volcanicus lacks, most notably proper feet for the pegholes in Grimlock's and Snarl's waist.

Dinoking sounds good, but I'm hoping they get around to a Monstructor repaint sooner or later.

OOOOOoohhhhhhhhhhhh. I'm seriously looking forward this one. St Slaughter is my favorite Joe ever thanks to the Movie. So a double dose of sis a nice concept. I wonder if that one will be a kibble clusterfuk like Bee? :-?

As for Dinoking, I do hope it will pop up at Canadian GameStop. I'd buy it.

Pulsecon 2024 for Dinoking sounds cool Unfortunate that we have to wait almost a whole year... oh well. I have seen most of the core Dinos at Target, but I ordered online so as to not leave anything to chance. The last wave has repacks of Sludge and Slag as well for those that missed them the first time.

Yes an eventual Monstructor as well would be cool....but what would be even better would be to have new ones down the.lineas deluxe or voyagers to be properly scaled to the animated series.

Target Leader Optimus Prime comes with "Autobot Bullseye" could we be getting a figure of the Target mascot Bullseye?

A doggy gun? Would be cute. :x Optimus Prime will mostly definitely be that long-nose one like that Xmas one... with a Target-colored trailer :lol:

Interestingly EE canceled my preorder for Beachcomber and is now sold out. BBTS still has it listed for preorder but I'm wondering if they will soon follow suit. Amazon is also sold out but available 3rd party for almost double price. Seems kind of odd as others weren't affected and has me worried since I've not seen it in any stores.

And to make sure we get toys that actually look like the characters and not repaints with a new head.

Cannonball intrigues me.

Not for him, but for the inevitable Red Alert repaint.

Cyb Red Alert had one pf the more unique transformations of that line. Scissoring the back and front of the SUV together to form the legs was super original.

Nothing else really interests me from these reveals though.
