"Vintage Beast Wars" reissue line

[PrimalxConvoy]

Of all the of BW molds, they picked an infamous shelf-warmer? Why not chuck in Transquito and get the shelves nice and toasty for the winter holidays? We all need to save on our heating bills so I'm sure even Walmart and chums would appreciate the savings...

 

[MrBlud]

I figure mold availability had more to do with this than anything else.

Would’v been cool to have gotten Powerhug instead though…

 

[Sciflyer]

I will definitely pick up Terrorsaur. I bought him at Botcon '99 and he was missing his gun; it's always bothered me.

Oh YES please! I need a new Transquito. Mine broke years ago.

 

[CoffeeHorse]

My Transquito broke almost immediately. There's a lot I like about the design but it is not a sturdy toy.

I hated it, but Jetstorm was a similar and far better example of such a design, IMO. His dragonfly mode was suitably "neooooowwwwwnnnnnn" (or "zoomy"), on par with jet-mode TFs, IMO.

Am I crazy or does it look like Reissue Retrax is missing one pair of bug legs?

You're not crazy. He's also missing his rubsign in those stock photos.

But then again, they are just stock photos, and we know how imperfect/not-final those can be.

 

[Suspsy]

Not that I mind Retrax and Terrorsaur, but are Rhinox, Tarantulas, and Waspinator no longer available?

Rattrap was no longer available, and they reverse-engineered new toolings for him.

 

[Blot]

In a sentence I never thought I'd type out, Retrax is currently sold out at Walmart's website.

 

[Sciflyer]

I traveled back in time and told my former self about Retrax being sold out in 2022. He thought it was hilarious!

 

[Bonebot]

I didn't even know he was available for preorder. :/ Has there been any news on when Wolfang's supposed to be released? Feels there should have been something by now.

Walmart lists him as "out of stock". No retail sightings outside of Australia or Singapore that I'm aware of.

Robot or human?

 

[Plutoniumboss]

Retrax is the first of the BW reissues I'm actually planning to get. And I would love it if they gave us Transquito too.

 

[Future_Erika]

Looking through the original line while procrastinating today, and it's amazing how many beast wars toys I have "wanted as a kid but missed out on" nostalgia for and retrax is the only one they've done for this that has tapped into that even a little bit.

 

[Bonebot]

Just got the email from Pulse that they've received their shipment of Wolfang and they'll be shipping them out over the next few days. Can't wait to have him back in the collection.

 

[Noideaforaname]

They reissued a toy nobody wanted, charged $25 for it, and left parts out.

 

[Sabrblade]

I'm pretty sure that the reason they left out those middle legs is because one of them ends up in the middle of his groin in robot mode.

 

[ZacWilliam1]

I want Retrax. He's fun and different.

-ZacWilliam, the more weird non-show BW toys the reissue the better imo.
