Apparently, Galaxy Shuttle did make it to Walmart stores up in Canada, but nowhere in the U.S.

What if we're looking at it all wrong? Galaxy Shuttle was never made in the first place, but simply always existed and was named for the size. In fact, we've been inside Galaxy Shuttle the whole time. All the toys we thought were Galaxy Shuttle were just Platonic reflections of the Ideal Form of the true Galaxy Shuttle, so if you weren't able to find it, that's a good sign, because it means that you did not find the imperfect reflection of the True Form.

And in other news, I clearly went mad partway through this post, not positive on which line but I'm pretty sure around the second sentence it all went downhill...

But the True Form would be Sky Lynx...

Another step closer to the day Hasbro shows us pictures of new toys, but doesn't release them in stores.

No one can figure out their business model, but they keep doing it, so it must be working wonders.

Sigh.

In all seriousness, though, do you think Barbie fans have this problem?

I'm not sure what the current status of the Speedia 500 line is at the moment. I've been to a few local Wal Marts and there were none in stock and no shelf tags. YMMV though depending on your region. Regardless, I generally do not like store exclusives - especially Wal Mart store exclusives - but I guess Hasbro views them as a necessary evil.

In the UK the Speedia line was supposed to be exclusive to Smyths, like the Netflix line, but it appears that Smyths dropped that commitment after wave 1. Wave 1 has subsequently gone out to lots of other retailers at heavy discount (from Hasbro themselves), but curiously that also happened to Galaxy Shuttle, who showed up (quite a lot!) in Game stores at "50% off" a price he was never actually released at.

Legally that's quite naughty in the UK but I can't see any of us complaining to Trading Standards about it.

It's quite a bad sign for the line though. Who knows what will happen to the Wave 2 deluxes, I can see them being as rare as hens teeth and then suddenly arriving in huge numbers at a random discount chain.

Here's a snippit of my PoL. I had preordered him a while back so I guess I got one of the first shipments BBTS got in stock.
 

wonko the sane?

You may test that assumption at your convinience.

My tarn is supposed to arrive today... Not sure where scraphook is though.

Edit: to clarify; they were pre-ordered and supposed to arrive at the same time. It's now pretty much too late for scraphook to show up by the 10th as stated by amazon.

Did Hasbro even release images of him or is he just showing up all of a sudden? Seems like these latest waves are coming fast.

I'll probably regret skipping them in a few years, but I decided to stick with my Basic / Core / Legends / Smol / 'ittle-fella sized ones from previous lines. I did get Ransack, though, and am hoping to see the rest repainted/remolded into the other Deluxe Insecticons.

Note to Hasbro: I would also happily accept new Insecticons like Beet Papil or other brand new characters.

EDIT: I just realized that I would love to have a Legacy Black Arachnia reimagined as a G1 Insecticon styled spider.

Well, I had two of them growing up. And they weren't that small. They were about the size of the G1 cars like Prowl or Hound. Way bigger than the minibots we had like Cliffjumper, wheelie, or Warpath.

So while I was happy with the smaller size in the CHUG era, I am definitely picking these up!

If I hadn't bought some 3P versions, these probably would've been good enough for my MP display. As it is though I've opted to pass.
