    Anyone else just feeling like they're all in Canada and Candian customs are refusing to ship them because they're having a mini war with the figures? If my figures are unsealed I'll be asking questions, lol.

    Could be political issues with getting product to the U.S. lots of that craziness going on lately.

    Hope they show up for you guys soon!

    Also If they do more reissues, I'd like them colored the way they were originally. Black, white and purple Astrotrain for example! These seem to be North America based reissues, so lets keep em how there were released in North America. Astrotrain was reissues like 3 times now, but in white, anime and that weird orange or whatever lol

    Because I already have the original and I always wanted a purple one. The one exclusive from a few years back is very expensive. From my perspective it would be cool if a repaint faithful to the cartoon made it to retail stateside. Seeing how a reissue of G1 Megatron is unlikely, I think people would jump at the idea of a purple Galvatron.

    Starscream seems to be a little easier to get right now. However most of my stores are bare.

    Does anyone know if this is a one and done thing? Like when the supply is gone it’s over.

    Saw a tonne of Devvies at Barrie South end Walmart. Seems these are hitting in force now. Picked one up because honestly I couldn't resist. Not even sure if I'm going to open it. (I probably will, but it looks so nice)

    Any idea what is the deal with the Walmart’s in US? Are the stores getting these or not?At least we have someone on the inside. I agree with one poster I wish Target got these and not Walmart

    I hit up 3 Walmart’s on the way back home.

    3 devy’s And 2 Starscreams between them. Starscreams are cases of 12 btw.

    Also I found a tag for hot rod, maybe we’ll see him in Canada too!

    The release date is the 17th to 20th of August in the U.S. So, no one should be freaking out that these haven't been found in the states yet.

    Is that for all the Re-Issues or just certain ones? Anyone know if we are getting the exact same packaging as the Canadian ones? Bilingual collectors with the original G1 are asking & its gonna be one of those Aftermarket gimmic questions.

    Thanks!

    I dont even know whats going on I'm about as lost as the rest of you I tend to to spend the day in the grocery department and I rarely can find anyone or see anyone around that works in the toy department. At my local Walmart where I work we get a sh*t ton of Nerf products from Hasbro everyday. We get about one or two shipments of Transformers a month and its usually to replinsh wave 1 of the deluxes whenever we sell out. As I said earlier though I have Hot Rod on pickup preorder and I SHOULD be picking it up Friday, we'll see as it still says preparing order.

    That's true for Starscream at least. Don't know about the others or the packaging. Would assume the packaging is the same and the other figures will probably be shipping around the same time.

    Certainly what they had for preview at SDCC was bilingual packaging.

    Gotta say, the sticker application on the minibots is bad. Skipped on one tailgate in a store, because the stickers were misaligned, and ordered two online. Out of the two, only one is okay.

    Guess I'll reprolabel the one I opened.
