Except 10 years ago you could have gotten a retooled one with ME compatibility and a new Ace for $30 :p I mean, I see the plus and negatives on the Skystriker. Yes, it has been seen fairly recently for ME…but that’s not the market Hasbro seems to be targeting here. I think a really nice...

I got my order for the Python Viper in through Pulse. I have VASTLY more confidence I’ll get it from them, even if I have to wait. You never know what kind of shenanigans Target might do with preorders these days. I’m in a weird spot right now. There isn’t a lot calling to me. With the...

PR in these listings mean “Package Refresh”. It seems like Hasbro hadn’t decided (when this information was released) if Soundwave would be a new Prime iteration or Package Refresh from Siege (!). Galvatron Prime…I’m not sure. Maybe the “up-armored” Unicron Megatron from the end of the...

Yeah, we’ve seen Ravage for months. More than likely Ravage and Zartan were SDCC plans that got scuttled so Hasbro just held inventory for Pulsecon. That said, the mess at the west coast ports seems to finally be catching up to us, thus, Galvatron is probably sitting in a container in China...

The entire o-ring run that is being introduced is new. All new tools all around, likely due to the move to Vietnam for manufacturing. Even the Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow are new tools based on the originals. And as Zac said, it’s not fair comparison to prior releases once you factor in things...

This “poster image” that will adorn the opposite side of the packaging. https://news.tfw2005.com/2021/10/22/hasbro-pulsecon-2021-transformers-panel-recap-443361#images TFW used it as their main image.

Today was probably the biggest push on GI Joe since…a LONG TIME now. Hasbro revealed the mass retail BAT (which is MIA right now due to shipping issues), but we are getting the Python Patrol iteration (might have to steal the head for a cartoon BAT…). Speaking of, the Target theme this year is...

I brought it up in the other thread, but...I wonder how the delay is going to effect the line? Hasbro's been doing yearly lines starting in the post-Christmas reset, where as Legacy looks like it won't be on shelves until next JULY. I wonder if it is simply a matter of covering their butts...

The renders and posed shots all have a clear chest. I think the actual figure does as well, just the lighting or maybe the windows ended up a bit more opaque than the renders make it hard to see.

Also, I guess we're finally seeing impact from shipping delays. Pulse AND Entertainment Earth is setting release dates for NEXT SUMMER for Legacy stuff.

My full thoughts on Legacy: Packaging is a bit busy to me, but I give them credit at doing something fresh with Transformers packaging. It's a wild display of color, but I feel confident that it will stand out at retail shelves. As noted, I'm disappointed at the absence of the core class...

Same here. I was hesitant on Galvatron, but I think they hit a really fair price and I have ample time to change my mind on him.

It's the revenge of the mid-2000s! The story of Universe combined with a major gimmick from Energon! We've already seen SS Starscream and Perceptor. That may well all be it until they start the hype machine for the next film (which will likely dominate the line next year) I'm terribly...

I KNOW! It's not like they said it a dozen times in the movie they keep referencing, or dozens more in the 30 some episodes of the third season the cartoon they keep referencing.

The ZORD accession project looks amazing. I'm hoping that moves forward, it probably will, but I can REALLY see that Transformers DNA in that model. Maybe that's going to be Power Rangers "Commander" price point offering?

Well, at least I feel safe in saying that after seeing Skids and Bulkhead’s Energon weapons, we SHOULD be getting a dang cool accessory pack this time around.

I mean, ultimately, "G1-ification" of most Animated designs leaves you stuff not terribly far removed from the typical looks for most characters. I think the issue is more like, Hasbro made a Bulkhead with a LOT more in common to his Animated iteration than Prime, but opted to namecheck Prime...

To me, he looks like a more "militarized" permutation of the "civic utility vehicles" exemplified by Grapple and Inferno. Kind of like how Prowl, Smokescreen, Jazz and Skids all share broad body structures, but are clearly more "specialized" in their uses. Heck, all things considered, I think...

That’s IF they can get a lung transplant. Extra organs aren’t exactly a dime a dozen even BEFORE recent events. There will be millions who will have damaged lungs for the rest of their lives simply because they aren’t “bad enough” to justify a transplant. Though, given my own transplant...

I also feel, like the Beast Wars updates last year....a LOT of the toys of the last 30 years are damn hard to "do better" or improve upon. For most of the Prime cast...they have serviceable to fantastic toy representations. I remember a lot of dissatisfaction with 25th Hot Shot because, to...
