    That implies they could. October people were still trying to make sure they got POTP NovaStar. Hasbro just couldnt get that stuff in stores that early. This is a January line, that they just shipped small amounts early to have on shelves (lol) in time for christmas before saturation in jan/feb.

    What I'm saying is that they should modify the time periods of releasing a line. Starting a new line in "January" seems like a bad idea.

    I live in Texas so that’s cool, but I’m just gonna wait for my bbts pre order to be fulfilled, I hope everyone can get them
    Hopefully at some point they can make him like animated shockwave, because long arm prime was pretty cool especially when shockwave was white/silver/gray

    I don't know what to do because it's Shockwave. I love this figure but I hate being ripped off. I don't want to pay leader prices for a voyager. But it's SHOCKWAVE goddammit! But just look at all that empty space in the box. When they first announced leader Shockwave I was super excited. But now it's more like WTF?wave. :(

    I'm hoping they turn out to be worth the extra $$ despite the decrease in size. I have a few of the deluxes, and I think they are great so far...hopefully that trend continues with the leaders.

    I really wanted a leader Shockwave to put next to my CW Megatron, Starscream, Thundercracker, Skywarp, TR Soundwave & POTP Nemesis Prime. Would have been so cool. But now that ain't gonna happen.

    What if you are able to fan-mode a convincing laser pistol out of him? Would that change your mind?

    All you have to do is flip him over and he’s a convincing laser pistol, he’s just an upside down gun

    He has two different laser pistol modes, one in his base form and one combined with his drone. It’s just the submarine/battleship mode upside down

    You guys need to get over the idea of leader Class being a height thing. That’s not what leader class is with this line.

    Leader class in siege is characters that come with their own weaponizers pack. They come with their own stuff to power up. That’s their leader class in this line.

    Take photos of his basic ship mode and use your phone to rotate it upside down. Magic huh?

    While I understand what you are saying with this, us as adult collectors are much different than the main market for these (even if the collector market has shown significant gains if recent years). The primary market is still children and most 5-6 year olds probably don’t know that wave 3 of line X is hitting target while wave 4 of line Y is hitting Walmart, and you need to get to Walmart at midnight when they are stocking to get the first batch ( though it would be impressive if they were like that), but rather asking Santa for “transformers”. Additionally, most probably aren’t getting 50-200 transformers throughout the year line many of us, so chances are there is something on the shelves that they don’t have. As long as Hasbro has product on the shelves (and product that seems to be moving), I am happy for the future of the line.

    I will say that I have been impressed with both the inventory levels and the amount of transformers that seem to be moving this Christmas season.

    I'll say. I was at Target tonight and their Transformers section was wiped out. They had a couple of POTP Deluxes and a few Studio Series Voyagers and that was it. I've never seen it cleared out like that, ever, not even at Toys R Us when they were around.

    Yea, three Walmart’s had nothing but drop kicks left, target tonight had a few optimal Optimus and a few random figures, but most deluxe and larger has been worked through pretty well, and not for a lack of restocks (and I am at Walmart late night quite often to see them filling the pegs). Target always seemed to have a couple parents hovering around the transformers, which is nice to see this holiday season.

    I just want to see my nephews opinion on the G1 minibots and Hot Rod, but got him some modern ones too. Also excited to take him and my niece to see Bumblebee on Friday.
